Descrizione

"Atkins, of low-carbohydrate-diet fame, promotes a "new medicine" that combines the benefits of traditional medicine with alternative treatments from nutrition to chelation therapy. The first chapter offers a caustic critique of American medicine by comparing the alternative system with mainstream medicine, while the subsequent two chapters discuss Atkins's success with disorders such as diabetes and arthritis. Case histories document his achievements. Although Atkins includes appendixes of diets and prescriptive formulas, he does not recommend self-diagnosis or self-treatment. Buy where his earlier books have been popular." Marilyn Rosenthal, Nassau Community Coll. Lib., Garden City, Copyright 1988 Reed Business Information, Inc.
