These are just a few of the many new health care alternatives that have recently
joined the more established practices of chiropractic care, massage, weight-loss
programs and vitamin therapy. Today alternative medicine is not only mainstream
but also very big business.
Some surveys show that there are as many patient visits to alternative health
care providers each year as to traditional providers. Two of the best-known
advocates of new perspectives on health, Andrew Weil and Deepak Chopra, each
sell millions of books and enjoy prime-time media attention.
How should you evaluate these new options? Is alternative health care simply a
fad--or is it here to stay? What are the benefits and risks of nontraditional
therapies? Do some health care alternatives have spiritual underpinnings at odds
with Christian faith and practice?
Medical doctor Paul Reisser, former alternative health care practitioner Dale Mabe
and writer Robert Velarde team up to answer these questions in Examining
Alternative Medicine. Sound, frank and even-handed, their book is essential
reading for anyone seeking new roads to health.
