Alternative Medicine Guide to Women's Health 2

Alternative Medicine Guide to Women's Health 2 is "about alternative approaches to women's health--approaches not generally understood and, at this time, not endorsed by the medical establishment." The authors, Burton Goldberg and the editors of Alternative Medicine, recommend that readers discuss all alternative treatments with their physicians. They say that many women "have found their physicians to be open to new ideas." Seven conditions are fully discussed: fibrocystic breast disease, breast cancer, osteoporosis, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, environmental illness, and depression. The causes of each are detailed, along with major symptoms and testing procedures. Alternative medicine therapies are provided for each condition. The authors also include explanations of why the alternatives may be better than conventional medicine. Addresses and phone numbers are provided for doctors, clinics, and laboratories that offer testing and other assistance. Twenty-two patient success stories attest to the effectiveness of alternative treatments. The writing is easy to understand, with "quick definitions" sprinkled throughout the text. Drawings and photographs clarify technical descriptions. The endnotes include the sources of information on which the book is based, and can be used by those wishing to do their own research. Goldberg says his book "is here to tell you that you don't have to live with your health problems" and "that alternative medicine has practical solutions for identifying and treating the underlying causes and thus can reverse the illness itself." Alternative Medicine Guide to Women's Health 2 emphasizes prevention of disease, and is a must-have for women of all ages.
