For some of us around this office, the very word holistic is usually taken as sufficient cause for rejecting a book as airheaded. Fortunately, this Handbook gets right to work presenting a comprehensive overview of the alternatives to conventional medical practice. Homeopathy, Rolfing, healing with sound, biofeedback, herbs, yoga, acupuncture, and Native American methods are all here. So are a whole bunch of ideas you’ve probably never heard of even if you live in California. You’ll have heard of many of the presenters though; Ph.Ds and M.D.s abound
(including Tom Ferguson, M.D.). The information is solid and informative, enthusiastic but not annoyingly proselytizing. This is probably the best place to learn about alternative ways of healing.
