Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I was looking for Scriptural guidelines to help my family in choosing and using alternative medicines. I was especially concerned of the spiritual implications from using various alternative treatments, such as magnetic healing, reiki, accupuncture and applied kinesiology. (Spiritual implications came to be a concern after a number of disturbing personal experiences and reading several books - including "The Bondage Breaker" also by Anderson.) The Biblical Guide gave me the answers I was looking for and much more! It is well written, well-researched well-documented. It presents a 5 sided grid thru which an individual can investigate any medical treatment or therapy. I especially appreciate the fact that science is only one of the 5 and not the focal point. As Anderson and Jacobson point out - Science is not always right, Science is growing in it's understanding, and Science cannot become our 'god'. I also appreciate that while the author gave their concerns, they ultimately leave the decision to the reader saying that while a treatment is appropriate for one person, it might not be for the next person. Another thing I found suprising and refreshing was their inclusion of allopathic medicine. While they tend to say allopathy is one of the better options available, they gave several criticisms and warnings for using allopathy. Greatly appreciated from my perspective!
I also bought Alternative Medicine by Walt Larimore M.D., Donal O'Mathuna at the same time as The Biblical Guide. I will be returning Alternative Medicine after a quick overview told me it was rather biased towards Allopathy and science and did not contain the answers I was looking for!
The Biblical Guide was excellent! I highly recommend it and have already shared it with several friends and my Chiropractor who is also Christian!

A friend swears to you that her new herbalist cured her migraines. After years of trying everything else, your brother's lower-back pain is relieved by acupuncture-though your family doctor doubts it will work for long. When it comes to holistic health and medicine, everyone has questions-and now, thanks to Dr. Neil T. Anderson and Dr. Michael Jacobson, Doctor of Osteopathy, we have authoritative, biblically based answers! The Biblical Guide to Alternative Medicine gives you a biblical grid for evaluating medical treatments and systems and alternative therapies-then having separated the fantasies from the hard facts, it shows you how to develop your own "recipe" for holistic health and apply it to your daily life. Do the authors have all the answers where theology and medicine are concerned? No-but God does!
