About the Book

Healing Choices was written, after 4 years of research, as a guide to inform the reader of the choices available for the use of Complementary and Alternative healthcare. The descriptions of the therapies, which are referred to as modalities, are clear and simple to better help make an informed decision in choosing a modality or treatment.

Describing over 100 modalities this easy to read and understand self-help book also includes what each modality will treat, what to expect from a treatment or session, books and internet sites to further the readers search for knowledge.

About the Author

In April of 2000, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. In addition to feeling devastated, I found myself frustrated and confused. I wanted more than conventional medicine could offer me, but I didn't know anything about complementary or alternative treatments. I did, however, have time to do some research prior to having surgery. I found information, but it was too complex for me to understand at the time I needed it so badly. As I stood beside other people looking for answers on the shelves of books in the bookstores or libraries, I felt overwhelmed by the volume of information. I soon realized that I was not alone. After many months of research I found my own answers, but soon I realized that there was nothing in one publication or one internet site that gave all the information I needed to make an informed decision about my healthcare. I needed a guide.

After four years of research I created this guide to help you avoid the confusion and frustration I felt and to provide you with the information that you need for your healthcare decisions.

The guide is not a book that you might read from cover to cover. It's a mini-encyclopedia of alternative healthcare modalities and information. It is also a work in progress.

These are the things I know today. Tomorrow I am going to learn more.
