Review:

The Gold Standard

No Complaints- this is an awesome book, and best of all it is organized by disease. Thorough, unmatchable, and evidence based. Excellent foundation for CAM! Highly recommended for everyone who wants to practice holistic medicine.

Review:

Best resource of integrative medicine

As a fourth year medical student at the UofA and spending a month doing an integrative medicine elective here, I discovered this book on the bookshelf of the integrative medicine office.
I am interested in CAM and I wanted one book on my bookshelf that would help integrate different alternative modalities along with Western medicine. I wanted a book that was up to date, had references, was written by someone who is very knowledgable in the field, and to-the-point. This is exactly what this book is. For any given disease/condition, he goes through the modalities that have been tried and he summaries the research for those modalities and then gives his opinion as to how strong he thinks the evidence is to support those modalities. I highly recommend it.
