What is alternative medicine?
Alternative medicine broadly describes methods and practices used in place of, or in addition to, conventional medical treatments. The precise scope of alternative medicine is a matter of some debate and depends to a great extent on the definition of "conventional medicine."
The debate on alternative medicine is complicated further by the diversity of treatments that are categorized as "alternative." These include practices that incorporate spiritual, metaphysical, or religious underpinnings; non-European medical traditions; newly developed approaches to healing; and a number of others. Proponents of one class of alternative medicine may reject others.
Detractors from alternative medicine may also define it as "diagnosis, treatment, or therapy which can be provided legally by persons who are not licensed to diagnose and treat illness", although some medical doctor find value using alternative therapies in the practice of "complementary medicine".
Many in the scientific community define alternative medicine as any treatment, the efficacy and safety of which has not been verified through peer-reviewed, controlled studies.
The boundaries of alternative medicine have changed over time as a number of techniques and therapies once considered to be "alternative" have been accepted by mainstream medicine.

O.K., so you say, tell me about someone you know that this book has helped? Well, I've been on the once-a-day org. high lignan flaxseed oil and org. cottage cheese meal for only a few weeks, and my energy has increased by 300% and those j*rxln!=grrrwvb?+@%^z BLESSED hot flashes completely disappeared!!! To top it off the horrid sciatica and firey nerve pain all the way down to the arch of my feet is 98% gone! This protocol seems to have been one big missing piece after 3 1/2 years of trying to heal naturally from serious Immune System damage and many serious levels of metal and chemical toxicities in my body.
If I ever got cancer, this is THE BOOK I would use, along with the wonderful Therapeutic Essential Oils from Young Living that saved my life last year. Both together have rescued me from very serious degenerative syndromes that are considered untreatable.
I do not intend to be without either Dr. Johanna's diet (and there are 20-30 pages of detaile menus for those with cancer) nor the Young Living Essential Oils for the rest of my (FINALLY!!!) healthy and happy life. :-) :-)
