    <![CDATA[Blended Medicine is the next wave in healthcare. It takes all healing arts available today- from mainstream medicine to yoga-and chooses the best healing strategy for any condition.

Now they have the ultimate authority on the new holistic healing frontier.<p> <em>Blended Medicine</em> profiles 21 mainstream and alternative therapies, including nutrition, naturopathy and biofeedback, explaining each in detail and describing what it most successfully treats. An A to Z reference of 106 health conditions describes and prioritizes each ailment's most effective therapies.  <em>Blended Medicine</em> introduces a new world of medicine where mainstream doctors and alternative practitioners provide effective and enlightened health care to every individual.</p>]]>

At the gala launch party for porn publisher Ted Calderone's new erotic magazine, sexy models serve delicious appetizers&#151;but a murderer has spiked one tray with poison mushrooms, death caps. A controversial investigative reporter eats them and dies.
