Customer Reviews: Read 2 more reviews... Hope the next edition discusses raspberry leaf for N/V in pregnancy May 26, 2008camestres (USA) 0 out of 2 found this review helpful I was eager to see a book on this topic. However, each of the sections that I have read -- admittedly only a couple sections, a small fraction of the book -- seemed to be lacking critical information. I hope that the book represents a wonderful start and future editions will be more comprehensive. Here is an example: I was disappointed that the section on nausea/vomiting during pregnancy seemed skimpy. The safety of medical treatments during pregnancy is obviously critical, and of great concern to patients. At the same time, hyperemesis takes a terrible toll on the quality of life. Many women consider the nausea of pregnancy to be far worse than the pain of childbirth. It would be nice to flesh this section out more, addressing folk remedies already in use. Red raspberry leaf has been heavily hyped and marketed for more than a decade, both for "morning sickness" and enhancing labor. However. literature searches don't turn up much data on its use for morning sickness. If data are absent, I wish the author would simply state that. It's hard to understand why the author would fail to acknowledge a frequently used, widely advertised product that is intended for use when a fetus is most vulnerable. I also wish there were more information on the safety of chamomile and peppermint, which some studies have questioned.  Best Textbook in Integrative Medicine and Complementary/Alternative Medicine April 2, 2008Patrick J. Barrett 2 out of 2 found this review helpful 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.  The best out there, but room to grow October 31, 2007P. Katiraei (CA) 3 out of 4 found this review helpful 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. Excellent!!! October 9, 2007Julia Roa Perez (Bogota, Colombia) 5 out of 5 found this review helpful 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 The Gold Standard February 23, 2006Moses Nasser (California) 5 out of 6 found this review helpful 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. --Dr.Nasser, california | |||||||||||
