Customer Reviews

Excellent aid for those taking responsibility for their own health.

This is a very helpful reference book for those who take responsibility for their own health. It is easy to read, easy to find various conditions. Suggestions for diet (what TO EAT and what NOT TO EAT) as well as suppliments helpful and a choice of modalities. VERY WELL DONE.!

Great book in both spanish & english

I have workers that love this book in spanish. I have the english version to figure out problems and then find the spanish equal to explain.

ABSOLUTELY WORTH EVERY PENNY!!!

This is a book you will use. this is a book you will want your doctor to read, preferably own. It will take the person who is not familiar w/ many alternative care methods and supplements and "baby step" you you through them w/out dumbing anything down or being tedious. it is a wealth of good , easily referenced information for those who are already well versed in alternative medicine..many chiropractor friends have this to refer to in order to best serve their patients... it is top notch and once again EASY to read and understand. I use it regularly and would not part w/ it !!!

Excellent Reference for a Family, Excellent Policy for a Nation

This is the more recent (2004 versus 2000) and the more comprehensive of two books that I have bought and use, but I do recommend that the other book, Bill Gottlieb's "Alternative Cures" be bought at well. This book distinguishes itself by routinely including, in addition to clearly laid out natural herbal prescriptions, what the options are that might be effective in Acupressure, Bodywork, Stress Reduction, Bach Flower Remedies, and Other Recommendations. All informatioon has to be taken with a grain of salt, but I have found that by combining the recommendations from this book with those of Bill Gottlieb, I get a better over-all sense of where there is consensus, and I get a clearer picture of what natural cures to select from the broad range that both books recommend in different ways. This is the better of the two books, but it is not sufficient to stand alone. The two together provide a superior meld of knowledge tailored to each individual reader's needs.
