Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
The age of health maintenance organizations has brought a new phenomenon that I call "speed medicine." The object seems to be to get you out of the doctor's office as quickly as possible, having given you as few services as they can get away with. So it's no wonder that alternative medicine is catching on. But how do you distinguish among the really good practitioners and the "healer" who last week was a personal trainer and the week before was waiting tables? This book defines "alternative treatments," how to match them to your needs, and how to find people who can administer them competently.
From Library Journal

A comprehensive overview of alternative medicine and the licensed professions coupled with extensive resource lists makes this practical, no-nonsense guide essential for all consumer collections.
