Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
Presenting the strengths and weaknesses of both regular and alternative medicine, Krohn and Taylor provide a reference work and a good basis for discussion groups. No single system of medicine can give patients all they need, they maintain, in terms of the best physician, most appropriate treatment program, and worthiest preventive measures for specific conditions. Krohn and Taylor offer practical advice for finding a physician or surgeon who will meet an individual's needs and lifestyle. They discuss advantages and disadvantages of several medical philosophies and their related treatments; in an especially helpful section, arranged by disease, they go more deeply into differences in practice. Prevention is a major theme throughout. The chapter on vaccination includes much helpful information and raises many thought-provoking questions; it should prove one of the most often consulted parts of the book. Krohn and Taylor conclude with brief but graphic descriptions of two groups of Pima Indians to point out how different lifestyles can have opposite results even for people who share the same background.

This review is from: Finding the Right Treatment: Modern and Alternative Medicine : A Comprehensive Guide to Getting the Best of Both Worlds (Paperback)
I'll use it as a reference book. I know Dr Krohn and highly respect her and her treatment suggestions. I like the book alot because it has a Table of Contents as well as an index. It is easy to understand and not only offers suggestions for treatment, but tells why one treatment is good or bad to use.
