Here is a comprehensive sourcebook which provides a systematic, unbiased comparison of the predominant medical traditions: Allopathy (conventional Western medicine). Naturopathy, Ayurveda, Homeopathy, Oriental Medicine, Osteopathy, Chiropractic, Massage or "Body Therapies", and Behavioral Medicine. It presents, in an easy-to-understand format, everything a lay person needs to understand the differences, strengths, and limitations of each approach. "Solidly informative.... A balanced view and comprehensive scope distinguish this guide". -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "A very important reference that will assist consumers in their navigation of health options and in achieving results....I highly recommend it. -- Joseph Jacobs, M.D., first director of the Office of Alternative Medicine, National Health Institutes of Health A clear and concise guide to all areas of alternative medicine, by an experienced practitioner and one of the country's most authoritative sources of information.
