ABOUT THE BOOK
The Quick Access Professional Guide is an indispensable source of information on both conventional and complementary treatment regimens - including valuable data on uses, dosages, safety and efficacy of the most popular herbs and dietary supplements. The guide contains integrated monographs that allow quick answers to a wide range of questions. This monograph system is comprised of the following three categories: Condition Monographs - these allow the health professional to review a standard medical model of diagnoses and treatment protocols based on a known or suspected condition, with additional information on nutritional support and the use of complementary modalities. Herb Monographs - allow the health professional to consider the best evidence to support the use of herbs in maintaining health or in treating conditions. Supplement Monographs - provide substantive and well-referenced information on the use of dietary supplements in maintaining health or in support of condition management. A comprehensive Cross Reference Guide is also included which offers the user easy and targeted access to the required information.
"There are several excellent texts to search for information on alternative therapies and herbal preparations. Of course, the German Council books are the "bible", and I would generally default to the information gathered there. However, this text and the "Professional's Guide to Alternative Therapies" are both good, useful guides for someone with a solid grounding in pharmacological principals.
The latter text is somewhat more succinct. Both guides are more accessible to patients as well, and make for good in-house reference texts."
