The global market is expected to reach nearly US $ 200 billion by 2025, with most of these funds coming directly out of consumers’ pockets. Consumers are bombarded with misleading and false information on AM and therefore prone to making wrong, unwise, or dangerous therapeutic decisions, endangering their health and wasting their money. This book is a reference text aimed at guiding consumers through the maze of AM. This second edition includes over 50 additional treatments as well as updates on many others. .Copernicus Books, Sparking Curiosity and Explaining the World,2731-8990Medical sciencesAlternative medicineClinical health psychologyBioethicsMedical economicsHealth SciencesComplementary and Alternative MedicineHealth PsychologyBioethicsHealth EconomicsMedical sciences.Alternative medicine.Clinical health psychology.Bioethics.Medical economics.Health Sciences.Complementary and Alternative Medicine.Health Psychology.Bioethics.Health Economics.615.5615.5Ernst E(Edzard),423087MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQ9910632469003321Alternative medicine3084601UNINA
