This review is from: UnBreak Your Health: The Complete Guide to Complementary & Alternative Therapies (Paperback)

This book is so full of wonderful and amazing solutions to every day and even traumatic health issues. I applaud the author for taking the time to explore so many different alternatives. I believe this book is not just for people who's health is broken, but also for people who want to stay healthy. The $19.95 is such a small price to pay for all the wisdom in this book. Two of my favorite solutions are the AIM Program of Energetic Balancing (also in Natural Cures) and the Emotional Freedom Technique. Very powerful stuff. I plan to buy many more books for Christmas gifts.

Alan Smith has created THE definitive guide to complementary and alternative health care (CAM) with this invaluable book. As chair of the Texas Health Freedom Coalition, the nation's numerically largest state level grass roots alternative health advocacy organization, I am recommending all our members not only purchase a copy for themselves, but also send one to their state senator and representative to allow our lawmakers to better acquaint themselves with CAM, now the fastest growing segment of our health care system. Kudos to Alan for a great job!

5.0 out of 5 stars Impressively organized and presented, December 2, 2007

By 

Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: UnBreak Your Health: The Complete Guide to Complementary & Alternative Therapies (Paperback)

As the babyboom generation ages (as well as generations X, Y & Z, for that matter), personal health and physical fitness have become more than just fashionable -- they are recognized as fundamental to being able to enjoy life, pursue goals, and live longer. The rise in the popularity of what is described as Alternative Medicine has also taken place because of the shortcomings of traditional medicine to insure continued good health and/or speedy recovery from illness or injury. In "Unbreak Your Health: The Complete Guide To Complementary & Alternative Therapies", Alan E. Smith has compiled more than 300 entries on more than 135 alternative health subjects, providing both students of alternative medicine and non-specialist general readers with an interest in supplements and alternatives to what traditional medicine has to offer them with respect to basic health concepts. Impressively organized and presented with an alphabetized roster of therapies for the body, a section devoted to therapies for the mind; and an entire chapter of therapies applicable to the human 'spirt' or 'energy', "Unbreak Your Health" is thoroughly 'reader friendly' and accessible. Of special note are the chapters on Insurance, Alan Smith's conclusions, his recommendations, the resources list, bibliography for further reading, and a comprehensive index. "Unbreak Your Health" is very strongly recommended and fundamentally useful reading for students of Alternative Medicine, and would proof a popular addition to community library Health & Medicine reference collections.
