Third Opinion -4th Edition » (REV)

In an age of information, when there is a growing awareness and acceptance of the value of alternative and complementary medicine, it's surprising that basic facts about alternative cancer treatments are so hard to come by. If you don't know the right person, it may take days or even weeks to learn even the simplest of facts. Worse, sometimes information becomes available only as a matter of chance.

Here, in this fourth revised edition, is a comprehensive guide to the growing number of alternative treatment centers located throughout the world. Everything you need to know—from addresses, phone numbers, names, and prices, to philosophical approaches and methods of treatment—is provided in a clear, easy-to-use format. Also included are the educational centers, information services, and support programs that may be of interest to the person looking for alternative or adjunctive therapy. For each listing, the author has gathered all of the information necessary to make that all-important initial contact. To further help you, the author has included a glossary of terms, a regional breakdown of centers, and a list of informative readings.

Beyond any first and second opinions that may be offered, there are other options that you may wish to consider. Third Opinion offers you the opportunity to learn about these options so that you can make a truly informed decision.
