Quality CAM Texts

Published

Specializes in ER; CCT.

Hi,

I'm a MSN-FNP student looking for a text book source of best evidence regarding CAM therapies, preferably from a disease entity approach. I'm specifically looking for texts that incorporate RCT's and meta analysis reviews documenting utility, safety and efficacy of treatements to incorporate into the family practice setting.

Any suggestions?
