Editorial Reviews

Review

Alan provides a sensible approach ... empowering the reader of information and options about which he may not have been aware... (he) provides a roster of therapies and wide-ranging resource list from which we can begin our own course of healing and health betterment.Reviewed 3/6/11 on About.com's PATIENT EMPOWERMENT

... a fantastic resource for anyone looking to take more control of their health. Since Smith gives only a short synopsis of each method, he maintains a manageable-sized book for the non-professional.
          Reviewed by Vicki Landes for Reader Views - June 2010

There have been a number of changes and updates in this second edition ... this new edition will now be equally useful to those with little or no background in alternative therapies, those tentatively sticking a toe in the waters so to speak.
     Reviewed by Tami Brady for TCM Reviews  July 2010

This review is from: How to UnBreak Your Health: Your Map to the World of Complementary and Alternative Therapies, 2nd Edition (Paperback)

Length:: 1:28 Mins

As a cancer survivor, I appreciate the need for people to look into all modalities of healing to complement their allopathic treatments. Alan gives a fair and balanced overview of more than 300 of these therapeutic modes for mind, body, and spirit. Additionally, he ties them in with his ongoing series of podcast interviews with the founders and representatives of practitioner organizations. Emphasis on "How To" means that you are going to participate in the decision process to determine the best treatment for you, there are no blanket prescriptions here!

I would also recommend The Secrets of Medical Decision Making: How to Avoid Becoming a Victim of the Health Care Machine
