One of the wonderful aspects of modern medicine is that it can offer absoluteness when it comes to the mysteries of ailments; "Take two of these pills and you'll be right as rain." Humans are slowly understanding however, that along side conventional medicine, there is a lot of room for effective, alternative therapies. Give your readers a must-have collection on this issue. Across four chapters, readers will evaluate whether alternative medicine works, why it is becoming so popular, whether it can exist at peace with modern medicine, and whether the government should research and regulate it. Because readers are presented with a variety of viewpoints, this book is also a great resource for report-writing and research. Superb essays sources include the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine, The Office of Senator Dick Durbin, Donald Berwick, Dana Ullman, and Todd Runestad.
