"The most effective way to start making sense of the vast array
of information on the World Wide Web is to have someone sit beside you,
transmit their enthusiasms and their irritations, and guide you through.
This book provides that experience - it is a provocative companion to alternative
medicine information on the Internet, witty and wise, and eminently practical.
In this slim volume, Ralph Moss has captured the essence of surfing the
Web." --Jackie Wootton, M.Ed., managing editor, Journal of Alternative
and Complementary Medicine, January, 1998
" A pre-scrutinized, time-saving sampler of what's out there
that's good....Ralph Moss, Ph.D. has written another winner, his 9th,
this time on a passion close to his heart: alternative medicine online....What's
well worth the $12.95 price is Moss's running commentary, explicit at times,
implicit at others, about what makes a good site worth watching on the Internet...I
thoroughly enjoyed Moss's book and will count it among the few that I won't
even consider loaning out to (derelict, non-book-returning) friends....An
accurate, handy guide to some of the best offerings." --C. Barba in
Townsend Letter for Doctors and Patients, Jan. 1998.
"Alternative Medicine Online is an excellent guide for Internet
savvy practitioners and clients who seek to learn more about alternative
therapies. The witty, thoughtful descriptions of these 68 Internet
locations are full ov very useful information, even for the unfortunate
who cannot access them on a computer." --Lynn Keegan, RN, PhD, University
of Texas in Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine, March, 1998.

sense, which should be widely read." —Baltimore Evening
Sun (all emphases added)
