"The book is designed to provide additional tools for physicians to use in their therapeutic intervention strategies in often complex pathological situations in cardiovascular disease. ... The book is well written, easy to read, and uses numerous color graphs, figures, and tables to supplement the text. This tool for practicing clinicians provides a complete source of information about the use of complementary therapies in treating the whole patient with cardiovascular disease." (Joseph A.
