Integrative medicine is increasingly part of mainstream practice in, for example, palliative care and management of cancer, pain, heart disease and mental illnesses. This book explores the ethos that underpins the Sheldon list - how self-help works, particularly in the realm of chronic conditions. It examines the evidence supporting complementary therapies and how to use them safely. Numerous studies attest to the therapeutic benefits offered by various approaches to augment conventional medicine. The book deals with these topics by focusing only on evidence in the scientific and medical literature.

Perhaps you’ve seen several doctors and not found a solution to your health challenges. Now, you’re ready to take greater responsibility for your health, and you’re looking for some answers. The trouble is, embracing a natural, and holistic lifestyle can be rewarding, and overwhelming at the same time. There’s plenty of information out there, but whom do you trust? Many experts claim to be “holistic.” However, when it comes to matters of the mind and the spirit, most resources come up short. Using Biblical truths, The Christian’s Guide to Holistic Health helps you navigate the complexities of whole-person health. A genuinely holistic health model addresses not only the physical but the mental/emotional and the spiritual aspects of the human condition. If we want to reach our full health potential, we must address the whole person—body, mind, and spirit effectively. David uses his gift for teaching and brings a balanced view of science and scripture. He avoids extremes in theology, tackles complicated subjects, and makes them easy to read and understand. Whether you have a serious condition and need a breakthrough, or simply want to maintain your health, you’ll find this information useful. This book puts you on the fast track to vibrant health, and vitality.
