Within the traditional medical community, acceptance of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) varies widely. To whom does a doctor turn for reliable information on CAM? What therapy works well for what condition? Which therapies are evidence-based and which are not? And, what are these modalities anyway? "Clinician's Complete Reference to Complementary and Alternative Therapies" will answer these questions for doctors and any health care professional interested in learning more about Alternative Therapies. Each therapy includes a description/definition of treatment, its origins and history, biologic mechanism of action, and the therapy's practical application. When applicable, the text also lists drug-like information, including contraindications and adverse reactions, credentialing of practitioners, barriers and key issues, and where to find more information in either other readings or on the Internet. Each section has been written by an outstanding professional(s) in that field, who brings a unique knowledge and understanding to each topic. The third section of this book is an alphabetical cross-referencing of over 400common diagnoses, from allergies to whiplash, with the best therapy(s) that may be helpful in treating them. The author has created this section as an invaluable reference tool, for both physicians and patients alike, that will help the reader make an informed decision about which treatment(s) will be most beneficial to them, either in lieu of or in addition to traditional medicine.
