“This solid reference book came as a result of alternative treatments that helped [Roanne] Weisman, a medical writer, recover after suffering a debilitating stroke.... For readers interested in pursuing alternative treatments, this is a first-rate guide.”

—Publishers Weekly

“I recommend this book to all people who want to know how to navigate the confusing world of alternative medicine and choose sensible therapies that work. Whether you intend to use alternative therapies on their own or to integrate them with conventional medicine, the information in Own Your Health can guide you to making the right decisions.”

—Andrew Weil, M.D., Author, 8 Weeks to Optimum Health

“Own Your Health is truly a landmark book in integrative medicine. It combines moving, personal stories with the latest scientific research in alternative medicine. Most importantly, Dr. Brian Berman is one of the few international authorities with the depth of both clinical and research experience to accomplish this task. With this practical guide, he and Ms. Weisman have elegantly articulated the potency of individual empowerment and informed choice as the cornerstone of health and healing.”

Pelletier, Ph.D., M.D., Clinical Professor of Medicine, University of Arizona and University of Maryland Schools of Medicine; Former Director, NIH Complementary and Alternative Medicine Program at Stanford School of Medicine; author, The Best Alternative Medicine: What Works, What Does Not

“Own Your Health is an impressive combination of the inspirational, the factual and the potential for integrative medicine. By telling the stories of patients who became ’medical pioneers,’ determined to discover how to choose the best medical treatments from both worlds of medicine, this book is a welcome breakthrough and valuable tool for all patients and their doctors.”
