What Works, What Doesn't - The Guide to Alternative Healthcare

This is an unusual and helpful book that strikes a balance between enthusiasm for CAM and caution about its shortcomings, based on an analysis of available research and information. The questions asked are the basic ones - does it work? Is it safe? Are there other options? The book is divided into chapters on the major therapies and each contains sections on how it is meant to work, what the research says, what it is for, cautions and what to expect. There is a good index and bibliography. Highly recommended.
