Consumers look to health professionals for guidance on how to
integrate complementary and alternative (CAM) therapies into their
lifestyles, yet most health care professionals are trained only in
conventional practices. Integrating Therapeutic and Complementary
Nutrition provides the scientific foundation necessary to

integrated into conventional care. Working within a framework that
examines complementary and alternative therapies alongside
conventional nutrition practice, the authors examine controversial
issues surrounding CAM practice. Integrating Therapeutic and
Complementary Nutrition replaces popular myths with fact based and
verifiable information from nutritionists, professors, researchers,
and industry professionals. Each chapter describes in detail the
underlying process involved in both healthy function and

attention to determining which therapies might be appropriate for
which conditions, including which supplements, in what amounts and
from which manufacturers, this book uses scientific data,
considered opinions and case studies to weed out the beneficial
from the harmful. While aware that there unanswered questions
exist, the editors provide a much needed reference to the
information currently available, clearing the confusion between
what is known and what is not; what is proven and what is, though
well-intentioned, just wishful thinking.
