Lots of Information in a Clear Concise Format

As someone who is searching for natural therapeutic remedies, I found this to be an excellent book that has now become a valuable reference for my naturopathic bookshelf. As soon as I started paging through this book at my favorite used bookstore, I could see the inherent information value immediately. Good common sense combined with modern and ancient therapies are presented in an orderly and logical sequence.It's all about feeling healthier, calmer and more confident --- without drugs. For example, my doctor recommended I start taking cholesterol drugs some 5 years ago. Once I started I would need to continue --- forever. I'm a believer that the human body is so well designed that it can overcome most ailments -- if given some support. I'm 59, and still drug free. Yet, I continue to search for information on how best to live. For me, nature's way is the only way. We've all heard the cliché's like `you are what you eat.' Well, that's what good health is all about ---- good food, clean water and a little exercise go a long way toward keeping us in tiptop shape. This book offers alternatives to the all too common tranquilizer --- and much more. Stress is a byproduct of unhealthy living patterns and is the basis of most doctor visits. Yet, unless you go to a naturopathic doctor, you'll most likely receive a bottle of pills to cover up the symptoms and calm the ailing patient.If you are willing to invest some time in your health, then this is a good guide. If you are looking for instant answers, then you need to look elsewhere.

The Bible on anxiety type ailments, clear, short easy readin

The book was better than I expected I liked it because it covered many ailments and gave short , clear approaches to treating them naturally. I especially liked the forward, intro and appendix. It explained a little about emotional problems and the appedix gave tips on how to get off meds. THe book is alphabetized for a great future reference according to ailments. What to do is listed immediately following. Great book!!
