Today, being a health consumer encompasses more than being knowledgeable about traditional medicine and health practices; it also necessitates being well-informed about the expanding field of complementary and alternative medicine. Consumer Health and Integrative Medicine: A Holistic View of Complementary and Alternative Medicine Practices, Second Edition, was specifically written to expand upon the many alternative modalities that numerous other consumer health texts often overlook.

This comprehensive resource includes chapters on major alternative medicine systems and healing modalities, such as Ayurvedic medicine, traditional Chinese medicine, naturopathy, homeopathic medicine, chiropractic medicine, massage, reflexology, and herbals or botanicals. The author’s mission is to enhance readers’ knowledge base, fostering informed choices related to personal healthcare practices by making them well-informed consumers.

Updates to the Second Edition include:

  • NEW! The title has been updated from Complementary and Alternative Medicine for Health Professionals to Consumer Health and Integrative Medicine, placing a greater emphasis on consumer health and integrative medicine aspects.
  • REVISED! Chapter 5, “Conventional Medicine and Health Care,” features brand new information on health insurance coverage and the cost of personal health in light of the Affordable Care Act, offering new considerations on how the ACA has impacted American healthcare.
  • REVISED! A new section in Chapter 14 addresses Mindfulness and its role in Mind-Body Intervention.
  • REVISED! A new section in Chapter 15 explores the human biofield, alongside a whole new section of classroom activities.
  • REVISED! Chapter 16 now addresses the Ephedra controversy of the early 2000s and delves into more specific types of quackery by topic area.
  • UPDATED! New research and statistics have been incorporated throughout the book regarding various complementary and alternative methodologies, strengthening information on evidence-based research into CAM and integrating more details related to how these fit into current Western medicine environments.
