Customer Reviews

The most thorough and accessible guide I've seen yet
This book not only tells you what various nutrients do and where to find them, it reviews recent scientific research into a whole range of nutritional therapies with a critical view. For anyone looking to improve their health naturally, I would highly recommend this easy-to-read book.

information packed and comprehensive
During this time of the natural healing explosion it is helpful to have a tool which keeps you from drowning in all the information. Another helpful aspect of the book is the reference section composed of an extensive bibliography, relevant phone numbers and addresses, as well as a painstakingly detailed index of conditions and pages which apply. Worth every penny you'll find youself referring to it when ever necessary and feeling empowered to make informed decisions about your health.

Comprehensive and Understandable
One of the few books I have found that did not make me feel as though I was do something wrong if I did not follow the author's regimen. Nor does the author dismiss physicians in the fashion that other non-traditional authors seem wont to do. Very comprehensive in its approach to treatment of symptoms and descriptions of vitamins, minerals, et al. And best of all, the author actually includes recommended dosages. A great resource.
