From book: This is a book about alternative medical approaches to common diseases and health problems. It is primarily a listing of nutritional and natural remedies that may be overlooked by conventional pyhsicians. You might reasonably ask yourself, why? The simple answer is that there is little money to be made in the use of natural remedies, regardless of how beneficial they may be for the patient. Conventional modern medicine generates over a trillion dollars a year by prescribing patented drugs and costly, often dangerous, invasive diagnostic and surgical techniques. There is an obvious place for these approaches; I use them myself and recommend them when appropriate, but conventional medicine should not exclude the use of safer, often more effective and far less expensive therapies.
