Castleman, a medical journalist and the author of nine previous books, here offers an integrative approach to healing. He describes over 20 therapeutic traditions and then outlines the most effective Western and alternative treatments for over 100 common health conditions. Although he is careful to encourage consultation with professionals, his emphasis throughout is on self-cure. Yet many of the therapies described demand extensive training and practice, if not precision. For example, he often recommends acupressure, but his description of pressure points is cursory, with no accompanying illustrations. Castleman also allots major diseases such as cancer, diabetes, heart disease, and hepatitis little more space and coverage than minor conditions such as heartburn and jet lag. Overall, he is striving to do too much in one book, and although the concept of integrating traditional and alternative therapies is an important one, the complexity of such a task--at least for the layperson--is far beyond the scope of one self-help manual. Not recommended.--Andy Wickens, Univ. of Washington Health Sciences Lib., Seattle Copyright 2000 Cahners Business Information.
