Summary: For your health's sake - buy this book!
Review: I can not say enough great things about this book! I have recommended it to several doctors and to many of my patients.

I only wish that it was one of the rec'd reading texts at school. Any new doctor would benefit from reading this info, and because it limits it's scope to the 20 things you most commonly see in practice, it is both pertinant and memorable. The info can easily be assimilated into practice, and does not require excessive patient compliance.

For the layman, this is worth having in your library. Many of your chief complaints are not treated well wih traditional medicine, and this book gives you the info you need to treat yourself.

Summary: Nutraceuticals- A Phenomenal Resource in Modern Medicine!
Review: If you think you will always have to suffer with PMS - read this book. If you have been unable to lose weight - read this book. If exhaustion has become part of your everyday life - read this book. If your family has a history of heart disease, eye disease, diabetes, cancer or osteoporosis (to name a few), and your worried that you will eventually be next - read this book. The amazing information in this book details how Dr. Richard Firshein applies nutraceuticals to the vast range of conditions that he encounters every day in his practice. He explains how the systems in the body work, and how by matching specific nutrients to the needs of the body, also impacting on the mind and the emotions, we can achieve new levels of health, regain our health and prevent disease. Many of these nutrients are available in the foods that we eat, but if we become sick, the nutriceutical (concentrated) form can be the best way to regain health, since the quantities of food required would be taxing on our digestive systems.(That's just one of the reasons.) In addition, there are herbs that are not part of our daily diet that have a wide range of healing properties for specific illnesses. This book is a great way to become truly informed and knowledgeable about the multi-faceted, powerful, healing world of nutraceuticals, and how they can help you and those you love achieve good, and even great, health.

Summary: SUPERB author!
Review: This is a highly readable book, chock full of the latest research on a large range of neutraceuticals, and includes numerous anecdotes of Dr. Firshein's patients' firsthand experiences with the curative aspects of these nutraceuticals. Read this book if you have any interest in herbs and/or vitamins and nutritional therapies. THE NUTRACEUTICAL REVOLUTION contains fascinating accounts of the healing and restorative impact of many substances -- glutamine, milk thistle, quercetin, lutein, flaxseed, ginko --- just to name a few!
