Alternative medicine rejects a good deal of self-destructive American mythology. Accordingly, it often seems "far out" to those who haven't explored the subject. Add to that the unregulated nature of alternative therapies and the ever-present quacks and charlatans eager to make a buck on the suffering of others, and you have a formidable task separating the wheat from the chaff.
Dr. Weil is an excellent guide for those who would -- out of curiosity or dire necessity -- explore what alternative therapies are available. A practicing physician, trained in mainstream western theapeutics, Weil calls his holistic approach integrative medicine. While it may not be for everyone, it is based on solid medical and scientific evidence.
