| Third Opinion, the fourth edition, dated 2005 is the most up-to-date and contains information like email and website contacts not included in previous edition like the 1997 and earlier. Any reviews that critique earlier versions as out of date are not relevant with this newer edition now available.
As the author of 3 mass market books on cancer and health, I can say that Fink's 1997 book was very useful up until about 3 years ago. However, the information contained in it is now very outdated, due in part, to the rapidly changing landscape of alternative cancer treatments and practitioners in the US and abroad. Also, a number of so called 'alternative health-practitioners' do operate at less-than scrupulous levels, and tend to pack up and leave town for greener pastures from time to time. [By the way, anyone considering an alternative therapy should always ask the therapist for records and clinical data in support of their therapy; the one's who don't provide such should be suspect, and often, it's these folks who don't seem to be in business for very long durations.] Overall, Fink's book is a fairly decent introduction to alternative therapies---however overly optimistic the tone is from time to time. However, don't blindly accept the information for its accuracy.
This book is extremely helpful, very informative, and a must-buy for anyone seeking information about alternative healing practices for cancer and a range of other degenerative diseases. The author is obviously a very intelligent and handsome man. His knowledge of the subject is extensive, and the book is very well-researched. John Fink should be given an award for his work on this book. |
