Although there is an abundance of material available on various aspects of alternative medicine, there is no one source to which a user can turn for information on publications, organizations, educational and treatment programs, and products. Information on these resources is scattered, incomplete, and often of questionable authority. With respect to books and journals, users face a vast number of materials on these subjects which vary widely in quality, appropriateness, authority, and readability. This book contains information on resources and publications in the general field of alternative medicine and thirty-two specific modalities. It is organized into two main sections: a resource guide provides reference information on the specific services and products available to both the lay and professional audience by organization and company. Appendixes include a directory of publishers and a general index. Includes a bibliography. An essential reference for public as well as medical libraries.

Reviews for Alternative Medicine Resource Guide
...provides information about, and referral to, sources of alternative medicine, which librarians are increasingly called upon to supply...all entries include an address and a phone number, which were checked for this work...an appendix of publishers and a good index complete the work...for librarians needing basic information or sources for referral on alternatice medicine, this book will serve very well. I recommend it highly, especially for public libraries, as well as health science libraries.
