Summary: Excellent overview of CAM systems
Comment: This is an excellent book for the health care professional who is interested in learning about different Complementary and Alternative systems. Each chapter is written by a leader in the reviewed field and is quite comprehensive. I am an Osteopathic Pediatrician, and I found the description of Osteopathic Medicine one of the best that I have ever read. If you are looking for a book that includes specific treatments, however, this is not the book for you. It includes excellent chapters on History of CAM, ethics, how to evaluate the safety/efficacy of particular types of CAM, and overviews many types of CAM including Native American Medicine< Traditional Chinese Medicine, Naturopathy, Massage Therapy, Qigong, Orthomolecular Medicine, Meditation, Ayurveda, etc. There is also an appendix which includes suggested readings, organizations, an indications and precautions chart with clinical trials, and a glossary (which might be the shortcoming of the book - apitherapy is not defined, even though it is mentioned several times throughout the book, for example). All in all, a very comprehensive overview, and recommended.

Summary: Great resource for Complementary and Alternative Medicine
Comment: This book is a good introduction to the field of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). I like that Dr. Jonas presents both the common features and differences between allopathic medicine and CAM. It's fascinating to see that healers have been effectively using CAM for thousands of years. The organization of the book is into three main parts is very good. The portion about safety is excellent. So many of our patients today use CAM, so it is important to know the affects. The chapter, "How to Practice Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine" addressed many of these ideas. The overview of 20 specific disciplines of CAM was very informative and will be a good resource for medical students and practicing health professionals. The chapters on Ayurvedic Medicine and Medicinal Acupuncture where especially enjoyable.
