I've been in the alternative health world for a long time so was very interested in perusing this book. I was pleasantly surprised how thorough and concise Alan Smith's book is. Concise, yet, full of very valuable and researched material, this book gives the reader glimpse into a variety of therapies available to enhance health.
I can see this book being of great importance to those entering the field of alternative health, or those wanting to know what alternative/complementary therapies are available and what they consist of. The options are plentiful and it doesn't look like Alan missed any.
Great resource, a must-have in the library, and informative, Alan gives the reader options to healing. Highly recommend.

UnBreak you Health by Alan E. Smith will wow you at the number of alternative therapies in his book.
As a practitioner of TCM, I thought I heard of them all---boy, was I wrong.
I was delighted to see how many modalities I was not familiar with. He breaks the book into health concepts, working with the body, the mind, and spirit with a thorough overview of each along with "user comments." These comments are very useful.
His level of familiarity with the energy healing arts is astounding and is a great introduction for those who seek basic information and understanding.
He tells how these therapies are used and gives some solid, basic information about each. His chapter on insurance opens your eyes to being a proactive patient and not relying on what is paid for you. Each of us is in charge of our health and he offers non-traditional ways to resolve your health issues.
A lot of research went into this.
I enjoyed it and will use it as a referral source for my patients.
Well done.
This was a complimentary review copy.

During these trying economic times, more and more people are looking into complimentary and alternative medicine to help them deal with stress related and other ailments, diseases and medical conditions. Besides the use of Western, or traditional medicine, there is a growing interest in the use of alternative therapies. Many people are intimidated by the wide variety of alternative/complimentary medical processes and procedures that exist. There is a wealth of information available, not all of it is reliable, and people are unsure where to start researching, and question whether they should even try.
This book is probably the most useful reference I have seen in this large field of study. It's exhaustively researched, and contains information that ranges from A to Z on the spectrum of alternative medicine. It's written in an easy to understand style, and is set up in a very useful format. I especially appreciated the various comments garnered from people who have actually used these treatments, and their opinions and results. In addition to being a great overall reference, it's a great manual for people just beginning to look into these therapies. Additionally, there are available podcasts and interviews with leaders and researchers in this growing field of medicine.
If you have researched alternative and complimentary medicine at all, you know that the field is crowded with books and publications, and knowing where to begin your research is daunting, to say the least. Often, traditional medical providers are less than helpful in this area, and the patient is left floundering on their own in trying to understand what is available to them. I think this book has a place on the reference shelves of anyone interested in better understanding this field, and would be invaluable to any beginner in starting their study of the field. In fact, I think this book can easily replace 5 or 6 other books on my shelves, a testimony to it's comprehensive coverage of alternative and complimentary therapies. I discovered great information on age old practices, as well as information on brand new therapies that are not available elsewhere.
Any one interested in taking a more active role in the health and wellbeing of themselves and family members could greatly benefit from this comprehensive work. I applaud this author for a truly groundbreaking reference on an important subject for us all.
