Synopsis

Poll after poll makes it abundantly clear more and more Americans are turning to alternative medicine. Disillusioned with conventional medicine's answers, they are turning to more "unconventional" treatments. And while the origins and methods of these treatments vary, their philosophies have a common thread all attempt to eliminate the disease without killing the patient. In the past, much of the information on alternative therapies has been spotty and hard to come by. Now there is Options.
Options has been written for those seeking a clearer understanding of the alternative therapies used in the treatment of cancer. It covers the full spectrum of available alternative methods, from biologically based approaches to immune-enhancing treatments, dietary and nutritional regimens, herbal and plant-based remedies, bioelectric medicine, and adjunctive therapies. It also includes the latest experimental advances in cancer treatment.
Using plain and simple language, Options accurately and without bias-explains how each treatment works, presents the scientific rationale underlying each method, and provides clinical documentation of the results. The book further examines the myths and misconceptions surrounding alternative cancer therapies from both political and social perspectives. In addition, Options provides important guidelines for choosing an alternative treatment, as well as detailed information on referral services that can help you select the therapies best suited to your personal needs.
To make an informed decision, it is vital to have access to the right information. Options will help put that information in your hands when you need it.
