The personal testimony of individuals engaged in healing practices and the opposing voices of orthodox and alternative medicines are the center of Healing Powers. Focusing on medical norms and practices and on competing philosophies of the mind, the body, reality, and rationality across radically different "belief systems", Fred Frohock clarifies the social and legal dilemmas represented by "scientific medicine" and "alternative care." "Frohock goes beyond the often irreconcilable differences between scientific biomedicine and alternative care by clarifying the social and legal dilemmas they present. . . . A noteworthy contribution forcing us to rethink what medical care is all about."—Jeffrey Michael Clare, Journal of the American Medical Association "The book does more and better than simply provide a social-scientific proposal. It also gives not only a hearing but a voice to those who follow alternative therapies. . . . Frohock's accounts of their stories—along with the stories of the medical professionals—are eloquent and fascinating."—Allen Verhey, Medical Humanities Review "Contains a storehouse of valuable information about the historical, philosophical, and psychological bases of alternative approaches to healing."—Marshall B. Kapp, New England Journal of Medicine "Frohock introduces us to the scientific naturopaths and to physicians who believe in the mind's power to heal, to charismatics who believe in but cannot explain their powers, to those who test God and those who merely accept. He writes so well that I felt I had met these people."—Arthur W. Frank, Christian Century

Over the centuries, the Western world has turned to conventional medicine to treat a host of illnesses. However, with more and more studies being conducted, it is becoming increasingly clear that conventional medicine, such as surgical or pharmaceutical treatment, may not be the ultimate treatment option currently available, not to mention it's certainly not the most affordable. Rather, there are numerous alternative therapy options that have been practiced in other parts of the world for centuries, and they promise the same - if not better - results at a fraction of the cost and often in a much less invasive way. These are often referred to as complementary and alternative medicine (CAM), integrative medicine (IM), or alternative medicine (AM). This book is designed to introduce you to 10 specific types of complementary and alternative techniques and healing methods, giving you information about how they theoretically work, what modern science has to say about their effectiveness, and the actual mechanics underneath. At the end of the day, we're all striving to maximize our health and well-being for the sake of ourselves and the people who love and care about us: So if conventional medicine hasn't been working for you, then perhaps it's time to give alternative therapy a shot. I believe you will be pleasantly surprised.

The popularity and practice of alternative medicine continues to expand at astonishing rates. In Healing Traditions, Bonnie Blair O'Connor considers the conflicts that arise between the values and assumptions of Western, scientific medicine and those of unconventional health systems. Providing in-depth examples of the importance and benefits of alternative health practices—including the extraordinarily extensive and sophisticated HIV/AIDS alternative therapies movement—O'Connor identifies ways to integrate alternative strategies with orthodox medical treatments in order to ensure the best possible care for patients. In spite of the long-standing prediction that, as science and medicine progressed—and education became more generally available—unconventional systems would die out, they have persisted with undiminished vitality. They have, in fact, experienced a reinvigoration and expansion during the last fifteen to twenty years. In the United States, this renewal is fueled by people representing a wide cross-section of American society, and most of them also use conventional medicine. This eclecticism can result in conflicts between the values and assumptions of Western, scientific medicine and those of unconventional health systems. O'Connor demonstrates the importance of understanding how various belief systems interact and how this interaction affects health care. She argues that through neutral observation and thorough description of health belief systems it is possible to gain an understanding of those systems, to identify likely points of conflict among systems—especially conflicts that may occur in conventional care settings—and to intervene in ways that ensure the best possible care for patients.

A comprehensive handbook on alternative treatments from the New York Times–bestselling author of Mind Over Meds. In Health and Healing, Harvard-trained physician Andrew Weil explores the full spectrum of alternative healing practices available today, including holistic medicine, homeopathy, osteopathy, naturopathy, chiropractic, Chinese medicine, Shamanism, mind cures, faith healing, psychic healing, and outright quackery. He investigates what works and what doesn’t, what these practices have in common, how they differ from conventional medicine, and how they can be integrated into a complete approach to healing for the twenty-first century. Health and Healing draws on Dr. Weil’s vast clinical and personal experience, as well as on case studies from around the world. “An amiable, open-minded guide to alternative systems of healing.” —The New York Times “Incisive and illuminating . . . There is something for everyone in this book.” —TheWashington Post “A sound theoretical exploration, personably set forth.” —Kirkus Reviews “A pioneer in the medicine of the future.” —Deepak Chopra “A warm and clear-cut spectrum of health and healing. I recommend this book to all who are involved in or interested in wellness.” —Dr. Bernie Siegel, author of Love, Medicine & Miracles “Read this book.” —Dean Ornish, MD
