Over thirty of the most popular treatments—including acupuncture, homeopathy, aromatherapy, reflexology, chiropractic, and herbal medicines—are examined for their benefits and potential dangers. What works and what doesn’t? Who can you trust, and who is ripping you off? In its scrutiny of alternative and complementary cures, this book also strives to reassert the primacy of the scientific method as a means for determining public health practice and policy. 16 illustrations.]]> 1053863 4.00 77 28 10894 4.13 2463 356 2009 3874610 1845401182 9781845401184 1 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3874610.Healing_Hype_or_Harm_A_Critical_Analysis_of_Complementary_or_Alternative_Medicine 4.00 1 1053863 4.00 77 28 2008 6130836 0722537581 9780722537589 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6130836.Well_Being_Encyclopedia 0.0 0 1053863 4.00 77 28 1999 4600718 1903348099 9781903348093 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4600718.Understanding_Research_in_Complementary_and_Alternative_Medicine 0.0 0 1053863 4.00 77 28 2007 3874614 8434230062 9788434230064 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3874614.Insomnio_Salud_Natural 0.0 0 1053863 4.00 77 28 2000 3874612 0750645407 9780750645409 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3874612.Herbal_Medicine_A_Concise_Overview_for_Professionals 0.0 0 1053863 4.00 77 28 2000 3874611 072343400X 9780723434009 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3874611.Complementary_Therapies_for_Pain_Management_An_Evidence_Based_Approach 0.0 0
