Nearly half the American population has at some point consulted a practitioner of complementary medicine — a chiropractor or a specialist in acupuncture, homeopathy, massage therapy, or herbal or Chinese medicine. Contributors to this timely and authoritative guide include star writers of the health, science, and business pages of The New York Times, whose articles are prized by those seeking practical, reliable, well-researched reporting on vital health issues.
