Doctor Yourself: Natural Healing That Works

Rating:
Summary: Dr. Saul is a genius! Just reading his book is therapeutic!
Review: .
Doctor Yourself: Natural Healing that Works is well-written. It is a comprehensive text, written by a biologist, teacher and experienced consulting specialist in natural healing.

Dr. Saul has provided common-sense healthy, natural alternatives to traditional medicine, including megadoses of niacinamide (vitamin B3), moderate exercise (both mental and physical)and transcendental meditation, for treating schizophrenia and psychosis, depression, insomnia, ADHA and alcoholism, as well as diabetes, arthritis and other ailments.

Saul's style is refreshing and humorous. He is courageous in standing up for what I believe to be common sense! He is courageous in taking a firm stand against the use of DANGEROUS neuroleptics and other psychotropic drugs in the treatment of schizophrenia, depression and other forms of mental illness.

Introduction is written by Abraham Hoffer, M.D., who pioneered the study of using niacinamide in the treatment of schizophrenia.

Just reading Andrew Saul's book is thereapeutic! His sense of humor is infectiously healing!

Summary: Lively, Humorous, Packed with Information
Review: DOCTOR YOURSELF is easy to read, lively, humorous and packed with practical, easy-to-follow suggestions for maintaining and improving ones health. I agree with the author's comment that folks need "education, not medication."

I highly recommend this book to others because it helps people to help themselves. In these times of rising medical costs, along with the fact that many lack health insurance, Dr. Saul's book gives hope and confidence, almost like a personal consultation with the author. It sets out dozens of well-documented nutritional protocols for treating ailments using supplements rather than prescription drugs, thereby avoiding drug expense and side effects. The book deals with with quite a few chronic and serious health conditions, as well as more common concerns. DOCTOR YOURSELF provides down to earth and well-researched information.

Summary: Promoting nutritional therapy as a preventative & treatment
Review: Expertly written by biologist and naturopathic teacher Andrew Saul (who has served as a consulting specialist in natural healing for more than twenty-five years), Doctor Yourself: Natural Healing That Works is a straightforward and "non-specialist reader friendly" guide to organizing one's diet to promote health and nutrition. Promoting nutritional therapy as a preventative and treatment for many diverse ailments, and offering solid advice for adjusting one's diet plan to better live with everything from Diabetes, to PMS, to Parkinson's Disease, Doctor Yourself is a very helpful guidebook which is filled from cover to cover with gems of information that aren't usually discussed in most other nutrition books. It should also be mentioned that Andrew Saul has also developed an impressive website at DoctorYourself.com with additional information on the scientific studies behind the protocols referenced in his book and offers any interested party more than additional 4,000 references.

Summary: Doctor Yourself by Dr. Andrew Saul
Review: Having worked in the natural health care business for many years, I've read many, many books on the subject. While many of the books that I've read were quite good, I've found that even the best of these seem to be merely facts tied together with words. Dr. Saul's work, Doctor Yourself stands out in a market that has long been saturated with books of varying degrees of quality. Doctor Yourself is not only the best of the best in the marketplace, it is book with a voice. Reading Dr. Saul's book, I can clearly hear the unique voice of the author in it's pages. Dr. Saul's vast knowledge of his subject is presented with clarity, logic and humor. If I was to have one health care book in my library, it would clearly be Doctor Yourself.
