Summary:
"In the United States alone, more than 38 percent of people use
Alternative
Medicine
to treat and prevent medical issues and more than 50 percent of people have tried
Alternative
Medicine
at some point in their life. But because some people don'
t
feel their doctors see those methods as legitimate, patients often turn to unreliable sources such as the internet, celebrities, etc. for guidance. With so much misinformation out there, how does anyone know which advice to follow and
what
actually
works
? In this book, Dr. Mel Borins answers these questions using the latest scientific research and double-blind studies to educate patients and physicians alike on which
alternative
treatments work, which don'
t
, and
why
. And more importantly, it teaches them how to safely use these
alternative
treatments, as a reputable source of information to supplement their conventional
medicine
treatments. Written in clear, accessible language for the layperson while providing citations to full studies for the medical professional, the book covers traditional healing and herbal remedies, physical therapies, psychological therapies, and natural health products--making it perfect for
alternative
medicine
skeptics looking for hard evidence, doctors of conventional
medicine
seeking to understand
why
alternative
therapies work, and for those open to
alternative
medicine
but who want to understand the benefits and dangers; these include America'
s
78 million Baby Boomers who purchase 77 percent of all prescriptions drugs and are seeking ways to treat their health issues without causing more of them. "--From publisher.
"This book pairs common ailments with an
alternative
therapy treatment, clearly explaining their efficacy as well as the relevant scientific studies supporting or debunking their use"--From publisher.
