Reviews

In this translation of the 1995 German edition, the author and his panel of scientific advisers "aim to guide [consumers] toward using both mainstream and complementary medicine in the best possible way, maximizing the benefits and minimizing the risks," by assigning ratings to complementary therapies and diagnostic techniques. While clear and comprehensive, the book's usefulness and authoritativeness would have been enhanced if the experts had disclosed the sources upon which they based their ratings.
