At a time when conventional medicine is considered to offer a wide range of solutions to disease, alternative medicine has gained unprecedented popularity. This book focuses on the elements that seem to be lacking in conventional medicine and the features that attract so many people to homeopathy, chiropracty, acupuncture, herbalism, and many other forms of complementary medicine. The book proposes that both conventional and complementary medicine are incomplete, each in their own way, and that both have something to learn from the other.
