This important book addresses the vast array of treatments and
philosophies that postulate supernatural phenomena as the key to
health and disease. Jack Raso combines his own personal experience
with "alternative" healthcare, in-depth research on the wide
variety of methodologies, and an educational background in health
science and nutrition to simplify the often confusing field of
"alternative" healing techniques. Raso begins with an account of
his own personal odyssey from believer to skeptic, demonstrating
how easily a person raised in a devoutly religious tradition
accepts supernatural explanations and mystical approaches to
physical ailments. Raso examines the philosophic underpinnings of
"alternative" medicine as well as such techniques as hands-on
healing, Qigong, and faith healing. He shows that, whatever the
specific philosophy, the common denominator is a rejection of the
scientific approach of modern medicine in favor of a belief in
paranormal forces that influence the well-being of mind and body.
The final section is a firsthand account of Raso's many revealing
visits to various "alternative" medical practitioners. The book
concludes with an encyclopedic glossary of "alternative" healthcare
terminology that explains to the uninitiated the formidable jargon
so often used by proponents of "alternative" treatments.
