The authors comprehensively explain the background for each important alternative therapy, its rationale, the evidence supporting its use, its possible interaction with standard medicines, and, where possible, what is known about its safety and efficacy. The therapies for treating coronary heart disease (CHD) range from the more commonly encountered herbs, vitamins, supplements, and dietary fats and oils, to such less familiar techniques as acupuncture, homeopathy, massage, chelation therapy, meditation, aroma therapies, prayer, and energy therapies. Also included is a value-added CD-ROM that provides an eBook version of the work that can be viewed either on a personal computer or synchronized to a PDA. 121352 2004 Complementary and Alternative Cardiovascular Medicine: Clinical Handbook (Contemporary Cardiology Ser) (Contemporary Cardiology) 0 0 2 0 0 0 false false Sat Jan 17 09:15:28 -0800 2009 Sat Jan 17 09:15:28 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Tue Nov 18 21:40:42 -0800 2008 Tue Nov 18 21:40:47 -0800 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=125997
