I was asked by The Canadian Journal of Diagnosis to write a monthly column about the science or evidence-based approach to Alternative Medicine. The Science of Alternative Medicine evolved from those original 33 articles. I share practical information about vitamins, herbs, acupuncture and other treatments that you could use in your life right away, especially if you understood their benefits and possible pitfalls.
"This brilliant book contains information and guidance that could change the course of many lives and give healers and patients options for healing of which they were unaware. I stand in deep gratitude for Dr. Borins sharing his wealth of knowledge with those who can benefit most."
--Alan Cohen, bestselling author of A Deep Breath of Life
