Book Reviews of Complementary and Alternative Medicine and Multiple Sclerosis

Book Review: Up-to-Date Essential Reference
Summary: 5 Stars

My doctor recommended this book and author. The doctor who wrote the book has researched everything from vitamins and herbs, to acupuncture, to the treatments about which we hear wonderful reports. Each potential therapy is explained. The author is honest about which therapies have been scientifically studied. He's forthright about some therapies that activate the immune system (causing possible problems in MS). He admits some therapies look promising, but need further study. He appears to be objective, yet will let the reader know of reports that sound promising, but have not been scientifically studied. As I read the book the first time I crossed out suggested treatments that are harmful and marked some to discuss with my doctor.
This book compiles a large amount of information into a ready reference source. Unlike many references, it is compact and easy to handle. It is organized alphabetically by therapy. The author explains each, tells what studies have been done in MS or reports that have been made. Dr. Bowling mentions the symptoms (if any)for which the therapy has proven effective. He explains potential side effects. Then he offers a conclusion based on that information.
This book is a "must have" for anyone with MS who wants to explore options outside of the traditional approved medical courses of action. It is not designed to take the place of traditional medicine, rather as a supplement. I highly recommend this book.

Summary of Complementary and Alternative Medicine and Multiple Sclerosis

The first edition of this authoritative book quickly became the single source for accurate and unbiased information on complementary and alternative medicine approaches for the management of MS symptoms. The second edition, completely updated throughout, reflects advances in the field since the book's initial publication in 2001. Therapies are organized alphabetically so that readers can easily pinpoint a specific treatment and learn about its origins, merits, and possible uses in MS. In-depth discussions cover Naltrexone, acupuncture, biofeedback, chiropractic medicine, cooling therapy, yoga, diets, the use of supplements, herbs, vitamins, and minerals, and many other topics. This invaluable guide alerts MS patients and their families to new options for relief when conventional therapies are limited; directs them to therapies that are effective, low-risk, and inexpensive; and helps them recognize those that are ineffective, dangerous, and costly.
