This handbook explains the strengths and weaknesses of conventional and alternative medicine. Dr Andrew Weil describes the principles and practice of conventional and alternative medicine and presents a philosophy of health, treatment and healing. The book covers the full spectrum of alternative healing practices, including holistic medicine, homeopathy, osteopathy, chiropractic and Chinese medicine, outlining the differences from conventional approaches. He draws on his vast clinical and personal experience, as well as on case studies from around the world, to explore how the body stays healthy. As Dr Weil explains, it is up to each of us to choose wisely among the forms of medicine currently available - to take control of our health and our health care.
