Review
Alternative Medicine Or Magical Healing gives a balanced picture of the "New Age" healing movement. Which treatments should be approached with caution or entirely avoided, which methods are backed by supportive studies and thus cautiously accepted as complementary additions to conventional treatment, Alternative Medicine Or Magical Healing discusses in great detail those methods which have a scientific basis and suggests how others might benefit from further carefully controlled studies. It also discusses blatant quackery and the methods used to sell pseudomedicine to an ever-gullible public eagerly searching for magical cures. Alternative Medicine Or Magical Healing traces the separate and interlacing paths of magic, religion and medicine through the centuries as they relate to healing. Alternative Medicine Or Magical Healing is a very useful reference work and guide, deserving its place on every hospital, medical clinic, health practitioner, and community library medical reference shelf. -- Midwest Book Review
