Product Description

Alternative health practices have had a tradition of providing relief to people for hundreds—in some cases, thousands—of years, but doctors often suggest just one course of treatment, and you may not realize how many options are available. Here is the only all-in-one guide with professional medical advice from leading practitioners in five different fields—conventional medicine, homeopathy, traditional Chinese medicine, herbalism, and naturopathy—on everything from aches and pains, sexual dysfunction, and the common cold to mind and spirit, anxiety, and general first aid. Compare traditional medicine side by side with four alternative treatments to decide what type of therapy best suits you and your family. This essential home reference offers information in symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment goals for the two hundred most common conditions, then provides advice from the five experts in an easy-to-read comparative format, along with key tips for prevention.

Whether you choose an alternative or conventional treatment for your ailment, the information here will let you take control of your health care and decide what path you want to take, so that you don't have to rely solely on the advice of your general physician or the misleading suggestions found on the Internet. This is the medical reference that no home should be without.

Best book to have around the house or give as gift
This book is like a chain letter, I received it from someone, liked it so much I sent copies to many of my friends who have in turned given copies to their friends. This book is truly fascinating how it approaches illness from every different viewpoint, western medicine to homeopathic(with everything in between.) Being sick myself, this book is a wonderful tool when new symptoms emerge and I like having various methods available to attack it. For example, you take nausea. This book will give you the 7 different viewpoints of nausea, their different thoughts on what brought the nausea about and how they would cure it. It is so interesting to learn some of the home remedies available in this book while also learning why some of the famous home remedies came about or why they work. This book is just truly fascinating. I do not think there is anyone who could not benefit from having this manual around. In a day and age where people love diagnosing themselves on the internet, this book offers something more than the internet sites; it sums up the many different thoughts on medicine and organizes it so it is super easy to look up whatever you are interested in.

This book helped me and I am very thankfult to the authors
I borrowed this book from the library to address my ongoing medical issues, PNAR, PCOS, Diabetes,Anemia, and more. I followed the advice in the book concerning Naturopaty and supplements for my problems. I now feel better than I have in years. I have medical and prescription coverage, but the medicines the doctors gave somewhat helped with symptoms, just barely. After just one day of taking the suggested supplements for my conditions, I felt relief. No Joke. I thank god for this book, particularly it's naturopathic recommendations. I've been telling all my friends about this book.

Great book for everyone
