Synopsis of The Encyclopedia of New Medicine: Conventional and Alternative Medicine for All...

Integrative medicine is a holistic, patient-centred approach to health care that is revolutionizing medicine for the 21st century. It is the future of medicine, and The Encyclopedia of New Medicine is the quintessential resource on integrated conventional, complementary and alternative ways of treating and preventing disease. Part 1 of this 640-page encyclopedia guides readers through Duke University's approach to state-of-the-art integrative treatment programmes for more than 200 diseases and conditions. Each is linked to the relevant alternative treatments - from acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine to Zen meditation and herbal treatments - that are described at length in Part II. With informative overviews of the current state of medicine, an in-depth explanation of integrative medicine, and Duke University's innovative philosophy, The Encyclopedia of New Medicine will equip readers with the tools to enable them to take charge of their own health.
