Bitter Pills of Nature
Uses and Risks of Alternative Methods of Treatment and Diagnostic Procedures.

Alternative medicine is booming. However, assessing the correct form of treatment and therapy often proves taxing for the patient. The book takes this as its starting point and tries to provide an aid to orientation on a scientific basis. 80 different areas of illness and problems along with the corresponding diagnostic and therapeutic procedures are taken into consideration, clearly presented in tabular form and qualitatively assessed.
