Summary: What a Find!
Review: I didn't know that there were so many health issues that could go wrong. I wasn't aware of what each of the vitamins did. Now I am prepared for the many little problems that may occur, and have a better understanding of my body.Just like you need a street directory in the car, you need this book available to you to map out a simple course for better health. Some of the treatments are so simple that I don't know why doctors don't prescribe them. Maybe doctors would be better to prescribe this book. It would save time (and money) and be a good basis for future health and self treatment. A hearty well done to Donald McDowall.

Summary: I wish I could give it less than 1 star. Not a Real Book
Review: This book is just a bunch of conditions in alphabetical order. It's not even worth $5. I have the ebook of this EXACT same book. Thank god I only paid $5 for it. I got this book thinking it would have some really cool natural stuff and because there is a testimonial by George Goodheart (founder of Applied Kinesiology) I'm studying for my AK Diplomate and figured that there would be some good nuggets in there. I was MISTAKEN. Whoever wrote the postitive reviews was working for the publisher. Here are some of the worthless things in there (I'm not making it up) Altitudes - High -increases blood count and helps asthma
Low - helps heart problems Alcohol - classified as a toxin Solar Plexus - is a sodium organ Spinach Substitute - chickweed Lots of 1/2 sentence blurbs EXACTLY like I wrote above. It's just a book of lists. I can't imagine this being remotely useful in my practice. Better to get a book of home remedies or a nice naturopathic book. At least you would have nice pictures, nice descriptions and easy to read formatting. Even if there were adequate info that wasn't common sense in here, you can't get to anything because it's hard to look stuff up. This guy didn't even take the time to write paragraphs, this is just one big list.

Summary: I wish I could give it less than 1 star. Not a Real Book
Review: This unusual review is designed as an introduction, for people unfamiliar with Donald McDowall. In the `60s his dad and I were fellow students at the USA Palmer College of Chiropractic. Donald is a second-generation chiropractor. When we next met, Donald was lecturing about Applied Kinesiology. I attended numerous lectures and found him to be a font of knowledge, obviously exceptionally well read with a remarkable recall. Some years later I visited his private practice. He had facilities dedicated to an extensive library and research. Journals and books are a central part of his life. Chiropractors thrive on information that is alive, that is the stuff of debate and validation or rejection. I have had the pleasure of his company at various seminars at which his colleagues challenged his mental database. He obviously enjoyed the discussions and was very open rather than closed and defensive. I hope that readers will see Clinical Pearls not as a repository of inert information but rather as a source of thought provoking concepts that may be used when considering some clinical decision-making. Like life itself, what you make of Clinical Pearls for Better Health is largely up to you.
