National Library of Medicine. The Merck Manual of Diagnosis and Therapy is considered a bible for physicians. Its sister book, The Merck Manual of Medical Information- Second Home Edition, is now considered the most comprehensive source of medical information for consumers.
The chapter on "Complementary and Alternative Medicine" should be skipped. It provides skimpy information of many practices and doesn't offer guidance on ones that may be helpful. This is a common weakness of medical web sites.
