Books on Alternative Medicine

One of the most informative and popular books on alternative medicine is titled Complementary and Alternative Veterinary Medicine Considered, and was written by David W. Ramey, Bernard E. Rollin and Franklin M. Loew. It is truly a unique book because although there are many books that offer information on alternative medicine for humans, there are few that offer it for animals.

This book examines a variety of CAVM therapies and informs the reader by asking questions regarding alternative treatments, such as whether or not acupuncture is effective in pain relief for animals.

In today’s modern workforce the most common complaint is back pain. Healing Back Pain: The Mind-Body Connection written by John E. Sarno is another great choice, and it promises permanent elimination of back pain through the use of alternative medicine and therapies. According to the author in this book, TMS is the most major cause of pain the back, neck and shoulders, and he believes that the battle going on in your mind from this results in a real physical disorder that affects your muscles and nerves.

What is considered to be the closest thing to an encyclopedia of alternative medicine is: Alternative Medicine: The Definitive Guide by the Burton Goldberg Group, which is truly considered and known as being the Bible of alternative medicine. It weighs in at more than 1,000 pages, with nearly 4,000 doctors’ contributions. The first section of the book profiles 43 specific alternative therapies including their development, how they work, their proven uses, and so on.

The second section of the book covers 105 various topics, such as headaches, mental health and allergies, and discusses the different alternative therapies that are considered as being best to help alleviate pain and encourage healing for these ailments.

We highly recommend this as one of the best and most well-recognized books on alternative medicine in the world, and it should definitely be in every collection of books on alternative medicine.
