Are you sinking in the Quicksand of Pain, are you stranded in the Mountains of Misery or simply lost in a Forest of Symptoms?  After a disappointing trip to the Mayo Clinic, author Alan E. Smith admits, "I suddenly became very open-minded about complementary and alternative medicine (CAM)."  Like many people he turned to new options after he'd run out of treatments in mainstream medicine.Fortunately he found some therapies that have been very beneficial and have restored much of his health.  After his own success he wanted to share the hope that CAM can offer by writing his first book, UnBreak Your Health. Alan Smith talks with Joyce on the Powerful Patient August 24, 2011.
