Product description

From Amazon

The Definitive Guide is known as the Bible of alternative medicine. You may very well want to use a dictionary stand for this hefty tome; it weighs in at more than 1,000 pages. Nearly 400 doctors (M.D.s, Ph.D.s, naturopaths, Doctors of Oriental Medicine, and osteopaths) contribute their cutting-edge knowledge, and the list of names is impressive. You'll find words of advice from Joseph Pizzorno, the president of Bastyr University in Seattle, Washington; C. Norman Shealy, the cofounder of the American Holistic Medical Association; Nobel laureate Linus Pauling; Deepak Chopra; and Joan Borysenko, author and director of the Mind-Body Health Sciences in Boulder, Colorado.

After an intriguing, optimistic look at "The Future of Medicine," the book is divided into two sections. The first profiles 43 alternative therapies--acupuncture, craniosacral therapy, qigong, hyperthermia, and yoga among them--including their development, how they work, proven uses, and controversial or yet-to-be-proven uses, along with contact information for organizations. The second section covers 105 topics such as headaches, mental health, and allergies, along with the alternative therapies that are most likely to help alleviate pain and encourage healing. This guide is easy enough to understand to make it perfect for home reference, while it would also make a fine resource for health care providers interesting in learning more about alternative medicine. --Erica Jorgensen

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book tells the hidden truth about medicines
Reviewed in Canada on June 19, 2019

I’m a pharmacist myself, throughout my whole life i didn’t believe in commercial medical schools and pharmacy schools , unfortunately the tide is so high and you can’t simply say that all pharmaceutical companies are playing the same monopoly game public won’t believe you as they don’t have the enough scientific background to compare what they’re receiving on daily basis as a medicine to truly real medicine , you can’t open a single modern medicine leaflet without having a stream of side effects that includes sudden death sometimes and we used to think that’s normal , if you dig deeper in history you will find that a medicine shouldn’t cause death , kidney or liver failure . So if you’re looking for alternative way to treat yourself without being a victim of pharmaceutical companies and medicine school graduates who call themselves doctors this is the path you should follow .

I am happy with the service and the item I received....The only thing is that I think it was a little bit late...It is important to deliver the items as soon as you guys receive the online order. We, the customers, expect to receive items by the stipulated time you specify in your shipping agreement(I know that there are obstacles and delays(may or may not be under your control);however and above all, the item was a little bit late and that could have beem avoided. that's all...!

5.0 out of 5 stars Alternative Medicine by the Burton Goldberg Group-Review
Reviewed in Canada on August 5, 2001
I purchased this volume hoping to supplement my existing knowledge of medicine with the alternative protocols. This work is complete as to its coverage of the various diseases and modalities to treat them. When a patient encounters a serious illness, the keyword is protocol. Very often, there are multiple protocols for the same illness and the patient/doctor must sort through this maze. The Burton Goldberg volume helps tremendously in this effort. As people get older, they no longer get diseases that go away overnight. People tend to have conditions that require ongoing maintenance. The combinatorial impact of many different medications taken at the same time can be detrimental to the kidneys. Therefore, the alternative medicine protocols provide a mechanism to address the medicinal issues with substances that the body recognizes organically. In addition, this volume cites the medical experts in the different areas. It describes the biology of the disease processes in a way that is understandable to a novice. This work is a worthy investment for any personal library. People spend money on many frivolous things very often ignoring the future of their health. This work helps to craft a personal health plan/outline for the future by presenting comparative protocols in understandable english.

5.0 out of 5 stars Correlation of Medical Knowledge
Reviewed in Canada on December 16, 1999
Just to show a small part of the accuracy of this book. If you go to page 716,under the title of " HEART DISEASE " third paragraph which starts off with " interest in Vitamin B6 deficiency.This was a study by Dr. Kilmer S. McCully, M.D. Professor of Pathology at Harvard Medical School in reference to Heart disease and lowering the HOMOCYSTEINE Levels, which are free radical generators capable of oxidixing cholesterol, one of the major contributing factors in heart disease.The (AMA) American Medical Association back then and until recently said he was wrong in his theory. But, most recently on the television show 20/20 with Barbara Walters, the AMA said they were wrong and that Dr. McCully was right back in 1969 with his studies. Which I believe shows just a fraction of the importance of reading from this invaluable book of Knowledge.I futher beleive that members of the AMA should be more receptive to the thoughts and studies done by Alternative Medicine Doctors , who are only trying to better Mankind. A little more open mindness would be a good begining !

5.0 out of 5 stars What a comprehensive book about medicine and healing
Reviewed in Canada on July 30, 2000
This has got to be one of the most comprenhensive books ever written about alternative medicine. It tells a lot of valuable information about various vitamins and minerals and how they work to keep our bodies in perfect form. It gives important detail about what doses of each supplement we need to take. I also tells us about how the supplements interact with each other.
This book goes into great detail to tell us about our various organs and other body parts and how they work. I tells about how to handle disease when we contract it. It reinsures us that we don't need to run to the doctor everytime we get sick.
I have learned an inmeasureable amount of information from this book. I really believe it has been a worth while investment.
I Would Strongly Recommend This Book

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Place To Start
Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2012

This is the first book that labels itself a definitive guide, that actually IS! Alternative Medicine pretty much covers it all. It's very well organized, explains the method well and provides references to the most reputable sources from each field of practice. I also like that book is even-handed in that it doesn't give significantly more attention to some methods while briefly grazing others. The descriptions are non judgmental and dignified and is not ideological or political, making no claims on long-term efficacy of a particular method.
