Alternative & Complementary Medicine
Reviews “This book, featuring the unique methods and condition of India, introduces and estimates different approaches to the prevention, control, and treatment of infectious diseases. Major efforts are devoted to the holistic approach to AIDS, the deadly disease of human immune system, and HIV, the pathogen that causes AIDS. The book includes studies on the establishment of mathematical models on the transmission dynamic, the connection between mental and physical health in HIV-positive people, advanced understanding and therapeutic approaches for several specific conditions, as well as government efforts and achievements, all presented in a highly luminous and readable manner. Additionally, it brings new lines of thinking into this field by providing a refreshing view over alternative and complementary medicine practice aside from an insight into the treatment of nanoparticles combined with metal. Each chapter is thick with leading-edge and in-depth knowledge, producing precious experience for reference and further study while being especially valuable for scholars from developing countries because of its close attention to cases in India.“ —Wenguo Cui, Professor, Orthopedic Institute, Soochow University, China Now Available in Paperback CONTENTS: About the Authors / Editors: Editors: Anne George Associate Professor, Department of Anatomy, Government Medical College, Kottayam, India Anne George, MD, is an Associate Professor at the Government Medical College, Kottayam, Kerala, India.

AAP support has been truly important throughout the initial and final stages of the book. While the majority of the publishing work is done at the early stages, the final touches that include the last-minute corrections of the authors are extremely crucial to the quality the book tries to convey. The assistance of AAP during the last stages of corrections and communication with the authors was a very positive contributor to my state of mind during those stressful moments. I recommend the publishing experience with AAP to other editors of scientific material.” —Stavros Hatzopoulos, PhD, Hearing Science Laboratory, University Hospital of Ferrara, Ferrara, Italy AAP book title: Nanotechnologies: The Physics of Nanomaterials (2-volume set) “I was very pleased with the interaction and support of the team at Apple Academic Press.
