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 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

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.

From grocery store to doctor's office, alternative medicine is everywhere. A recent survey found that more than two in five Americans uses some form of alternative medicine. The Politics of Healing brings together top scholars in the fields of American history, history of medicine, anthropology, sociology, and politics to counter the view that alternative medical therapies fell into disrepute in the decades after physicians established their institutional authority during the Progressive Era. From homeopathy to Navajo healing, this volume explores a variety of alternative therapies and political movements that have set the terms of debate over North American healing methods.
