The Best Alternative Medicine

by Kenneth R. Pelletier

The Best Alternative Medicine is the only book available today that both evaluates the major areas of alternative medicine and addresses how they can be used to treat specific conditions. Dr. Kenneth R. Pelletier explains such popular therapies as mind/body medicine, herbal and homeopathic remedies, spiritual healing, and traditional Chinese systems, discussing their effectiveness, the ailments each is most appropriate for, and how they can help prevent illness. In the second part of the book, which is organized alphabetically, he draws on the latest National Institute of Health (NIH)-sponsored research to present clear recommendations for the prevention and treatment of health concerns ranging from acne to menopause to ulcers.
Combining valuable guidance about alternative treatments with definitive health advice, The Best Alternative Medicine will be the standard reference for the increasing number of people integrating alternative medicine into their personal and organizational heath-care programs.

So there's research and documented studies that prove holistic medicine is legit. Great! Now a little more detail would be appreciated. I guess for a real skeptic just to see the medical journals and studies backing up different ailments is a start. I was hoping for something more in depth. This book did help me look further into acupuncture on my own. Wo! Acupuncture is highly regarded in the this book for pretty much everything!! It's been around for thousands of years and is something I've never done, but want to try. Most insurance covers acupuncture! Who knew?
