The increasing popularity of alternative medical practices is changing the way that patients and doctors approach treatment options, making it vital that every clinician have access to reliable information on complementary and alternative therapies.

USER REVIEWS

"This book is a "must have" for western-trained clinicians and for anyone interested in in-depth information on alternative therapies. As a family physician, I found Dr. Novey's new book to be the best complementary/alternative medicine (CAM) reference available today. Each chapter gives me exactly what I need to know when a patient asks me about an alternative medicine principle. This book concisely covers each principle from origin, to indication for referral, evidence for efficacy and mechanism of action, required training for practitioners, safetly info, and most importantly-- contraindications for use. Dr. Novey got all of the big names to write this book, and really-- there is no better CAM reference than this one."
