Summary: THE Alternative Medicine Book!
Review: Books about vitamins, minerals, herbs, and other supplements, such as those Mindell and others have written, are great. But I've got thus-and-so problem; what should I do about it? This book answers those questions. You've just been diagnosed with arthritis? Try the items mentioned in this book, plus the other suggestions (including the dreaded "eat less and exercise" :) ) Mindell proposes. EVERYONE interested in healing with fewer prescription drugs should read this book!

Summary: Buy it because it is worth it.
Review: I've gotten to the point that I just buy anything by Dr. Mindell. Everything he produces is packed with good information that is understandable and usable. He also doesn't fall into that trap of just repeating what he wrote in previous books. Each one shows thorough research and an understanding of how these nutritional supplements are an asset to our health. A site that I have found which dovetails nicely with Mindell's research is PapaNature. I have used Mindell's book to double check their documentation and between that and their good product choices I have been impressed. They must have Mindell's books in their own library. Everyone should.

Summary: an invaluable resource!
Review: This book reveals how many common ailments can be treated,cured or reversed with nutritional supplement therapy.Most drugs only treat symptoms,but nutrients treat the root cause of illness and enable the body to heal itself.When you examine how we live today verses 100 years ago,it becomes clear why many illnesses are so common.We often dont eat properly and when we do it makes little difference,because our soil has been sterilized and stripped of its fertility.This is why we cant get all the nutrition we need from food only,besides it would be impractical to try,because we would have to eat an extraordinary diversity of foods to get these nutrients.Supplements are the answer.They should not replace food,but they should be used to enhance the nutritional benefits of the foods we eat.I have seen remarkable results from nutritional therapy when applied to cancer,bowel disorders,heart disease,diabetes,etc.However,this book should NOT replace medical care from your doctor,but certainly there are options here that are worth trying if drug therapy or other conventional treatments fail.Supplements can also keep you from frequent unnecessary trips to your doctor.And dont underestimate the value of water! The human body is over 80% water.
