From hypertension to hardening of the arteries, cancer to cataracts, Heimlich’s authoritative guide surveys the latest non-conventional medical treatments for today’s most prevalent diseases. What Your Doctor Won’t Tell You is an objective, up-to-the minute sourcebook on the most significant alternative approaches to health, including Antioxidants, Bach Flower Remedies, Biomagnetism, Colon Detoxification, Electrodiagnosis, Fish Oils, Homeopathy, Kinesiology, Live Cell Therapy, Macrobiotics, Orthomolecular Medicine, Ozone Therapy, Vitamin C Infusion and much more. What Your Doctor Wont Tell You introduces you to a new world of medical doctors trained in nutrition and preventive medicine. Heimlich offers objective appraisals of dozens of mainstream medical treatments, from chemotherapy to bypass surgery, and describes why the medical establishment continues to rely on toxic drugs and ineffective treatments owing to its ties with big business and government. The result is a melange of solid good sense (stop smoking to prevent heart disease), interesting potential (acupuncture as a treatment for sundry ailments; the mind-body connection) and much that is highly dubious and potentially dangerous, including discredited south-of-the-border cancer therapies, floral extracts, magnets and “psychic diagnosis.” Covering both time-honored and cutting-edge procedures, What Your Doctor Won’t Tell You is an in-depth overview of the best that alternative medicine has to offer.
