Alternative Medicine : The Christian Handbook
Americans now spend more money on alternative medicine therapy than for traditional therapy. Non-traditional therapies, vitamins, and herbal products are available everywhere. News about alternative medicine outweighs news about traditional care 4 to 1. But this rising interest in alternative therapies raises many questions for Christians, both medical and spiritual. Which of these alternative choices are valid healing remedies worth exploring? Which are false hopes propagated by false teachers? Are a number of alternative medicine practitioners also introducing New Age ideas? How can one sift through the many choices and discern what is trustworthy? Alternative Medicine: The Christian Handbook provides an in-depth guide to alternative practices and therapies available today and addresses both the concerns and benefits to be considered. It tells the reader what is known to work, what users believe, where there is a need for caution, and what evidence merits a closer look. This practical reference guide answers the following: * What popular alternative therapies are available today? * Should I consider herbal remedies, dietary supplements, and vitamins? * What are the claims, what is the evidence, and how do I choose wisely? * What are the spiritual implications in the field of alternative medicine? Comprehensive Reference Guide reviewed and endorsed by the Christian Medical Association
