The Best Alternative Medicine
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.

The Antidepressant Solution
With the FDA's warning that antidepressants may cause agitation, anxiety, hostility, and even violent or suicidal tendencies, these medications are at the forefront of national legal news. Harvard physician Joseph Glenmullen has led the charge to warn the public that antidepressants are over prescribed, under regulated, and, especially, misunderstood in their side and withdrawal effects. Now he offers a solution! More than twenty million Americans - including over one million teens and children - take one of today's popular antidepressants, such as Paxil, Zoloft, or Effexor. Dr. Glenmullen recognizes the many benefits of antidepressants and prescribes them to his patients, but he is also committed to warning the public of the dangers associated with over prescription. Dr. Glenmullen's last book, Prozac Backlash, sounded the alarm about possible dangers. The Antidepressant Solution provides the remedy. It is the first book to call attention to the drugs' catch-22: Although many people are ready to go off these drugs, they continue to take them because either the patient or the doctor mistakes antidepressant withdrawal for depressive relapse. The Antidepressant Solution offers an easy, step-by-step guide for patients and their doctors.

Literally translated, Ayurveda means 'life knowing' or 'science of life', and is one of the oldest known practices still used throughout the world. This accessible book explains Ayurveda as a complete holistic health system for mind, body and spirit. Rather than treating symptoms, it treats the whole patient, working as a preventative means of coping with the imbalance and disease. Whether you are actively looking for a complete holistic healing system or simply need to regain a sense of balance in your system, this invaluable guide is a key to understanding the powerful system of Ayurvedic medicine.

The New York Times Guide to Alternative
Health
Alternative health care has skyrocketed in popularity, yet we know very little about its efficacy. How can you avoid falling prey to false claims? In this timely and authoritative guide, Jane E. Brody, Denise Grady, and other writers for the health, science, style and business pages of The New York Times take a comprehensive look at the products, the current research - and the scams. By adhering to the same high standards of investigation used by mainstream medical science, they reveal the facts about unregulated dietary supplements, interactions between herbal and prescription medicines, and the many theories about the power of mind over physical ailments. They evaluate claims about popular remedies and review the increasing body of scientific data on alternative treatments. The New York Times Guide to Alternative Health provides balanced, practical and objective insight into the treatments playing an ever more important role in health care today.

Ease Chronic Pain (Sound Healing)
Modern medicine in America has finally embraced what alternative healers have known for centuries: Music and guided imagery have a profound healing power. The first volume of the groundbreaking series Sound Healing combines a guidebook with a CD of original musical compositions and guided imagery that people can use as a self-help tool to ease chronic pain. These two healing therapies are backed by so much positive medical research that they are now being used in hospitals and clinics across the country. The book explains step-by-step how these techniques work and how to use the CD to help relieve pain; it also features a journal where readers can record their pain level, their progress, and their feelings. The CD offers relaxing piano music designed to influence the biological responses that can trigger healing, followed by a soothing spoken guided imagery to bring listeners to a meditative, pain-free state.
