5.0 out of 5 stars Wow! Clear, comprehensive and unbiased info, August 22, 1997

By A Customer

Sitting in your doctor's waiting room is usually not the most productive way to spend one's time. However, I had a good 45 minutes in my homeopath's office to peruse "The Complete Family Guide to Alternative Medicine," and found it to contain a wealth of answers to questions I had asked myself on numerous occasions. For example, I've felt that I could use some bodywork training -- this book's descriptions of Alexander, Feldenkrais, and all the others helped me see quickly that Alexander will best suit my needs. Homeopathic, aromatherapy, flower essences, all forms of meditation and psychotherapy, chiropractic -- virtually everything is there, with attractive photographs, beautiful layouts, and handy sidebars that clearly list the ailments for which any given alternative therapy could be expected to provide benefits. I was so impressed, I copied down the name of the book and came straight home to go online and see if Amazon had it. Highly recommended
