"Power Tools for Health is highly recommended for thoseseeking alternatives to traditional medical treatments.
 
William Pawluk and Caitlin Layne's Power Tools for Health isan exhaustively researched overview of pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF)therapy. It balances its ideological argument with a practical guide.
 
The book is intuitively structured and broken into fivesections. The first contains background on magnetic fields and an overview ofhow PEMFs work; the second looks at the ways PEMFs physically affect the body.
 
The next section applies that discussion to a list of healthconditions, including addiction, cancer, and wounds. The final two sections area helpful guide for researching, purchasing, and using a PEMF system. They aredesigned to fit any budget, lifestyle, and health concern.
 
The book is careful not to claim that PEMF therapy is amiracle cure; instead, it examines how the approach works with other therapies,reduces the risk of common side effects, and helps prevent or mitigate a rangeof health concerns.
 
The writing is endearingly grounded and personal. In theintroduction, Pawluk discusses how he faced ridicule and censure in the medicalcommunity for pursuing his research. While alternative therapies can oftencause initial skepticism, the book confidently dispels any lingering doubtsabout the effectiveness of PEMF by explaining each of its points in full, oftenwith clear illustrations.
 
Each example shows how the system works against a specifichealth concern, what it does physiologically, and how it can work inconjunction with other therapies. Specific PEMF devices are discussed to helpthe reader navigate the marketplace, but it never feels like a sales pitch, andcare is taken to provide both the benefits and drawbacks of each product. Theresult is balanced, objective, and helpful.
 
The book is professionally presented and surprisinglyapproachable for such a dense topic. Some sections, like a discussion of thetherapy's physiological effects, are understandably technical, but backgroundinformation is provided when needed and the introduction to the science of themachines is practical and clear. A massive list of over five hundred referencesources provides avenues for further research. The tone fits the topicthroughout, even if in some places the writing is bogged down by the level ofdetail and can be a little dry.
 
Power Tools for Health may not appeal to those married toWestern medicine, but for readers with an open mind, there is a great deal tolearn here. It is highly recommended for those seeking alternatives totraditional treatments or anyone looking to broaden their understanding of newtherapies." - Clarion Review
