Integrative Medicine: Text with BONUS PocketConsult Handheld Software
As a fourth year medical student at the UofA and spending a month doing an integrative medicine elective here, I discovered this book on the bookshelf of the integrative medicine office.I am interested in CAM and I wanted one book on my bookshelf that would help integrate different alternative modalities along with Western medicine. I wanted a book that was up to date, had references, was written by someone who is very knowledgable in the field, and to-the-point. This is exactly what this book is. For any given disease/condition, he goes through the modalities that have been tried and he summaries the research for those modalities and then gives his opinion as to how strong he thinks the evidence is to support those modalities. I highly recommend it.

A must-read book for every physician. Integrative medicine does not deny allopatic medicine, nor points out every mistake of allopatic medicine just to support alternatives. It is a well balanced, evidence based book. Highly recomended

This is one of my favorite books. It is an evidence based textbook that provides useful and easy to acess information regarding both conventional and alternative medical treatments. There are also handouts that are great for patients to read.

No Complaints- this is an awesome book, and best of all it is organized by disease. Thorough, unmatchable, and evidence based. Excellent foundation for CAM! Highly recommended for everyone who wants to practice holistic medicine.

This book is the reference source in the field, but one finds that authors tend to stay in the conservative realm and only present/discuss the topics that are “safe.” I have patients on therapies that are not even mentioned in this book, although they may actually be helpful.
