The Definitive Guide is known as the Bible of alternative medicine. You may very well want to use a dictionary stand for this hefty tome; it weighs in at more than 1,000 pages. Nearly 400 doctors (M.D.s, Ph.D.s, naturopaths, Doctors of Oriental Medicine, and osteopaths) contribute their cutting-edge knowledge, and the list of names is impressive. You'll find words of advice from Joseph Pizzorno, the president of Bastyr University in Seattle, Washington; C. Norman Shealy, the cofounder of the American Holistic Medical Association; Nobel laureate Linus Pauling; Deepak Chopra; and Joan Borysenko, author and director of the Mind-Body Health Sciences in Boulder, Colorado.
After an intriguing, optimistic look at "The Future of Medicine," the book is divided into two sections. The first profiles 43 alternative therapies--acupuncture, craniosacral therapy, qigong, hyperthermia, and yoga among them--including their development, how they work, proven uses, and controversial or yet-to-be-proven uses, along with contact information for organizations. The second section covers 105 topics such as headaches, mental health, and allergies, along with the alternative therapies that are most likely to help alleviate pain and encourage healing. This guide is easy enough to understand to make it perfect for home reference, while it would also make a fine resource for health care providers interesting in learning more about alternative medicine. --Erica Jorgensen
Book Description
Alternative medicine is enjoying more popularity with consumers and greater acceptance in traditional medical communities than ever before. Although alternative methods, such as acupuncture, massage therapy, chiropractic, and homeopathy, can offer patients less costly and more effective treatment options, it's hard to know how to choose a competent and reliable practitioner. In this revised edition of ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE, 400 of the world's leading alternative physicians have contributed safe, affordable, and effective remedies for more than 200 medical conditions ranging from common health problems like allergies, asthma, and obesity to serious illnesses like cancer, heart disease, and AIDS. With all the schools of alternative medicine combined into one encyclopedic volume, this updated edition of ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE is the bible of good health.

This book explains the difference between traditional and alternative med. as well as the different approaches to alternative medicine. It also directs you where to get more information on the subject you are look at.

I use this book and Perscription for Nutritional Healing as my two "bibles" for looking up alternative medicine info.
Indispensible Reference.......2006-08-22
Not only is this book a potential life- and money- saver for the layperson, it is also perfect for health care professionals as "alternative" medicine becomes more diverse and accepted. The entries are comprehensive and concise at the same time. It would be difficult to improve.

As an accomplished doctor of veterinary medicine, Martin Goldstein is well respected for his 25 years worth of experience in the field--experience he effectively utilizes in conjunction with his expertise in holistic medicine in his new book, The Nature of Animal Healing: The Path to Your Pet's Health, Happiness, and Longevity. Goldstein begins with a broad explanation of the origins of diseases in pets, then moves on to taking action against those diseases, not only offering thorough discussions of specific ailments--including cancer, allergies, and arthritis--and the holistic medicines available to help in the healing process, but also speaking to the "dubious legacy of vaccines" as well as the questionable quality of pet food. Finally, Goldstein turns his attention to the spiritual realm, addressing both the bonds that we have with our pets--and how those bonds aid in preventing and fighting our pets' health problems--as well as dealing with the death of a beloved pet. Goldstein's expert advice, inclusion of inspiring real-life cases, and thorough resource "compendium of holistic books, newsletters, Web sites, veterinarians, and associations" make this book a valuable addition to any pet owner's library. --Julia King

great book.......2007-10-11
I was very pleased with the quality, condition, and quick delivery of my books, thanks!
Excellant Book!!!!.......2007-10-01
This book truly makes alot of sense,and has opened a whole different perspective in pet health for me.I found it very hard to put this book down after I started reading it.I have to agree with other readers, that, you will never look at your pet's health and well being, the same again.Every pet owner should read this book!!!! I think it would make a really great gift for others as well.
A MUST READ!.......2007-09-16
This book is very informative,if just for reccommended feeding guidelines and vaccination awareness.Every cat and dog owner needs to read this and be aware of whats in our pets food.
Real Food for Pets!.......2007-08-23
From personal experience, I know Martin Goldstein is right on with feeding pets real food.
For years, my Pug struggled with crystals in her diet...both acidic and alkaline. She was put on different Hill's Prescriptive Diet foods.
She was also going blind.
Two years ago, I thought--enough of this crappy food--I want the rest of her days (at that time I thought very limited) to have more quality. I started to feed her free-range chicken and premium canned food (because I knew it was balanced.)
She's still eating it and is now a healthy, almost 14 year old Pug! (I have since added meatloaf from free-range buffalo, brown rice and grated carrots.)
Harmonious Environment: Beautify, Detoxify and Energize Your Life, Your Home and Your Planet
a must have for all pet owners!.......2007-07-09
Dr. Goldstein's book truly changed the way I care for my companion animals. It sheds light on a new approach to caring for your pets. I found it very readable and clear. I especially liked the information on diet, and made changes to my pets foods that have already caused positive changes in their health. I recommend it uncondtionally.

This is THE book to buy on heart disease.......2002-12-12
If you have high blood pressure or just want to stay alive, buy this book. This is by far the most informative book on the market about heart health.
I bought this book after my dad had a stroke and it helped me to understand why strokes happen and how to prevent them. Everything about heart health is covered. The book includes scientific studies about which supplements to take and which to avoid.
Included is info on oral chelation. Chelation will help to strip the plaque from your arteries. This can be done with a special diet and supplements.
Heart disease is the number one killer in America. You can drop your blood pressure with Co Q 10 and grape seed extract (Tru OPC's). This is all in the book.
Do you take drugs for your high blood pressure? You are increasing your risk for cancer if they are calcium channel blockers! Read the book for the research study info.
A Book Ahead of it's Time.......2000-06-09
If you or a loved one suffers from heart disease, you absolutely must read this book! It gives you the facts your doctor won't tell you (because it may keep them from making $ from performing danergous & unnecessary surgery on you). It also tells you how to use natural & far safer methods for taking control of your health.
If you or a loved one has heart disease, NOT reading this book may be a fatal mistake!
Must reading if you have heart disease..........1998-12-06
If you have heart disease, or are at high risk for getting it, then this book is must reading for you. I found it quite by accident in a book store in New England, but it has changed my whole outlook on heart disease and my hope of returning to a normal life following a quadruple bypass operation in January of this year. In chapter after chapter you learn of ways to control, or even reverse, the progression of the disease. The chapter of Vitamins tells of the vital role of antioxidants, a role that is only now being confirmed and used by the established medical community. The chapter on IV EDTA Chelation therapy will astound you with it's implications. I have read it from cover to cover and find it totally fascinating. I highly recommend it to anyone who has an interest in this subject.
Book Description
Based on the pioneering treatment plans of 37 alternative medicine cancer specialists, this book guides you through the safest and most effective treatment alternatives known today. Learn how leading practitioners use herbs, nutrition, supplements, diet, oxygen, enzymes, glandular extracts, homeopathic remedies, plus specialized new substances such as Ukrain, Essiac, Carnivora, Iscador, 714X, shark cartilage, and many other to prevent and reverse cancer.
Customer Reviews:
Would like to see an updated version.......2006-04-23
Sorry, meant to mark four stars.
I like that it has so much information all in one place, however much of the information in this book can be found on the internet (although with A LOT more work). This book gave me a much appreciated focus to my cancer research.
There are breakthoughs that the book does not cover (for example fungal infection) and it was written when the understanding of prions (the cause of mad cow disease for example)and their role in health risk was only beginning.
Would like to see a more updated version, almost 10 years old, a more recent version could only be better.
Invaluable wealth of info!.......2002-06-20
With a working diagnosis of advanced ovarian cancer, this book gave me HOPE and DIRECTION. Statistics say: One in two men and one in three women will face cancer. IF POSSIBLE, be prepared in advance to know what course you would take. BUT, if you or a loved one are diagnosed with cancer, have courage! There are MANY choices BESIDES surgery, radiation and chemo. Better choices! This enormous book will educate you.
Don't miss the AMAS test on pages 702-705: an accurate blood test that can detect ANY cancer up to 19 months BEFORE conventional medical tests for cancer can find it! This test gave me GREAT PEACE of MIND as it ruled OUT cancer for me before my surgery to remove a grapefruit-sized endometrioma (NON-malignant). Praise the LORD!
Knowledge IS Power.......2001-10-24
Im a 33 year old young woman, who was diagnosed with advance local breast cancer 5 months ago today (24 May 2001, date of diagnosis). I was fortunate enough to have a close friend in the US who know of this book, due to working with one of the doctors who are published.
This book has become my Bible and has literaly saved my life. Im sitting here tonight in the wee hours of the night to let you know that today I have no turmors and am living cancer free. Five months ago I have 4 tumors all at approx 4cm each, today they are all gone, by the grace of God and his direction led me to this book which in turn gave me the information, the wisdom and guaidence to get through this tragic disease that so many people, possibly thousands world wide die from.
God Bless the all those who contributed to the truth about cancer. I thank you.

How you can understand cancer and prevent or reverse it.......2001-02-22
This massive (1116 pages) book is published by the editor of the magazine 'Alternative Medicine.' The first section consists of richly detailed accounts of the successful cancer treatment plans of 23 respected alternative physicians from Robert C Atkins to Charles B Simone. Part 2 is a fundamental explanation of the nature, causes, politics and prevention of cancer. I have never read a better 225 pages on the subject. When you come closer to understanding the conditions that precede cancer you are empowered to change those conditions and assume control over your own body. The final section presents alternative therapies one by one from nutrition, botanicals, and metabolic factors to physical and energy support therapies ranging from ozone and thermal (infrared heat) to acupunture and magnetic. In all, a finely-written explanation of a life-and-death topic meant for those who have cancer, their friends and families who refuse to give up and, who knows?, maybe even your doctor! This is a book I run to every time an acquaintance is diagnosed. I learn about the specifics of their condition and the hope that exists beyond the conventional.
comprehensive,easy to understand book that offers hope.......1999-09-20
A large part of beginning to win the battle with cancer is reasearch and information, so that one can make informed decisions about ones own health care. This book provides a wealth of easy-to-understand information about the options to conventional treatments. Whether or not one chooses to prescribe to any treatment offered in this "encyclopedia" of different modalities, one is almost certain to come away from reading with one of the greatest cancer fighters of all - hope!

Weight Loss.......2003-01-11
Burton Goldberg emphasizes that his newest book, Weight Loss: 17 Smart Ways to Permanently Shed Unwanted Pounds, is not just another diet book. It's about improving your health by learning to eat in a balanced way. Well-known in the field of alternative medicine, Goldberg says that "unlike the countless fad diets, alternative medicine recognizes that one size does not fit all." Each person is different, with different biochemistry, and has gained weight for different reasons.
Goldberg starts with a general discussion of diets and why they don't work for most people. He describes some of the serious health problems associated with being overweight, and explains what causes weight gain in general terms.
He then gets into specific information about those causes. He discusses things like what is eaten and how often you eat, the role of exercise, psychology (eating as a response to stress or boredom, etc.), and chemical imbalances, such as those caused by an underactive thyroid, hormones, allergies, yeast infections, and parasites.
Goldberg explains how to customize a diet to fit your needs, including basic information on the components of food, like fats and carbohydrates, the role of nutritional supplements, and alternative medicine therapies for correcting chemical imbalances. He also includes information on detoxification.
The format of the book allows readers to easily turn to the pages that apply to their particular situations. Medical words and special terminology are clarified in "Quick Definition" boxes in the margins. Whenever a test or procedure is suggested, contact information in included in a box on that page.
Goldberg says his book "is less about dieting and more about regaining a state of health--good health is the key to weight loss." For all those who believe they have tried everything, but haven't been able to maintain a healthy weight, Weight Loss is a "guide to finding a personal plan that you can live with."
It really is THE GUIDE TO WEIGHT LOSS.......2002-12-12
This book is amazing. There are so many things that can cause you to gain weight or have a problem losing weight. They cover such things as: thyroid disorders, enzyme deficiencies, hormonal imbalances and nutritional deficiencies.
If you have a thyroid problem, this book is one of the best at explaining how your thyroid works, which supplements to take and why. Many people take too much iodine and actually suppress their thyroid function. There are many herbs that actually will support your thyroid and stimulate hormone release naturally.
The chapter on food allergies was enlightening. Many Americans are allergic to wheat and corn and bloat up when they eat them. Wheat is actually a very addictive substance, it affects the serotonin levels in your brain in the same way some drugs do.
Great Resource for Understanding Weight/Metabolism/Diet, etc.......2001-07-22
I've struggled most of my adult life with the same 30 pounds that I never quite seemed to lose until reading this book. This book gave me the tools to understand my weight problem at a level beyond counting calories or following the latest fad diet.
This book contains a wealth of information about how the body functions; contributing factors to weight loss/gain; an overview of all the popular weight loss programs; and valuable resources if you want to follow-up any of the ideas or programs.
I highly recommend this book.
A GOLD MINE!!!.......2001-06-23
EVERYONE should be forced to read this book concerning their health, regardless of their weight. It's about your health, and how what you don't know CAN hurt you. People need to know if their livers, kidneys, or colons are filled with toxins and are virtually breaking down their body systems day by day, for years, causing everything from cancer to depression and anxiety. This book is FULL of information, from MANY TOP ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE DOCTORS, all giving their opinions and experiences. I found it fascinating....and inspiring!
Interesting, but questionable.......2001-05-14
There are some interesting ideas in this book, but it is far too difficult to figure out which recommendations are safe and will work as promised. The book includes methods to diagnose (questionable) medical conditions that lead to weight gain along with advice on ways to deal with the condition. The diagnosis often requires ordering self-administered medical tests through various mail-order companies or having a test done by a doctor. I haven't tried, but I think my doctor would resist if I requested stool analysis for parasites, iridology (study of the iris of the eye), or electrodermal screening. I am concerned that someone might try to self-diagnose whether the cause of his/her weight problem is a yeast infection, toxic liver, toxic colon, or toxic lymph with normal or questionable medical tests, and then spend a fortune to fix it with potentially harmful supplements or regiments. For example, one program to detoxify the liver includes drinking "as much apple juice or cider as possible" for five days while following your usual diet, and then drinking 2 teaspoons Epson salt in water and 1/2 cup of olive oil (960 calories!) on day six and another 2 teaspoons Epson salt on day seven. It does not say to check with a doctor first and there are no warnings about hypertension.
Some of the suggestions are interesting and may even work, but many of them seem questionable and downright dangerous. The trouble is knowing which ones are worth trying, which ones are harmful, and which ones are a waste of money. Initially, I was intrigued because this book included information and advice beyond the standard "eat less and exercise more," but I become very concerned about the reliability of any of the information when so much of it was wacky.

I am a huge fan of DK reference books and this book did not disappoint - beautifully set out, utterly readable and throughly researched.

This book gives you an overview of all sorts of therapies and it's colourful pages inspire you to study them all - if only I had enough hours in the day!!

Longevity: An Alternative Medicine Definitive Guide.......2003-04-12
We don't have to develop diseases or lose our mental faculties as we age. Deterioration is not inevitable, according to W. Lee Cowden, M.D., Ferre Akbarpour, M.D., Russ DiCarlo, and Burton Goldberg. They explain why in Longevity: An Alternative Medicine Definitive Guide.
They maintain that many conditions connected with old age are the cumulative effects of lifestyle habits rather than a natural part of aging. Their emphasis is on the quality of later years and continuing good health, rather than in merely increasing the number of years lived. Their goal is to "show you how to `age well' using safe, noninvasive alternative therapies."
Aging well involves "improving nutrition, reducing stress, detoxifying the body, boosting immune function, balancing hormones, and rebuilding brain power." These are all practices that improve health regardless of age, but are of particular importance as the body grows older.
The authors begin by explaining the changes the body and mind undergo as the years pass. They then detail how readers can develop their own longevity program, customized to their individual body chemistry. Following that is an extensive discussion of the aging factors and how to modify lifestyle habits to minimize the effects of each.
Many pages have "quick definitions" in boxes, so that readers don't have to interrupt their reading to looking up the meanings of specialized terms. Whenever a particular test or medical procedure is mentioned, contact sources are provided in the margins. Cross references are also provided when a subject is discussed elsewhere in the book.
Longevity shows "you how to develop your own personalized longevity program, one which takes into account your biochemical uniqueness and goals [and] help you develop an `owner's manual' for your body, allowing you to slow the aging process, to increase your life expectancy, your health span, and your quality of life." Readers interested in avoiding deteriorating health in their golden years will find it an essential reference.
