This book is very well laid out and very complete. If I could buy only one book of this type then this would be the book. It is an excellent reference book. If you or anyone you know has serious health problems then check out what this book has to say about the problem!

Well-written, well-documented reference guide, May 15, 1997
Reviewer: pmyers6@aol.com
This is a well-written, well-documented reference guide for non-drug methods of healing and prevention. A complete A to Z resource of medical problems and the vitamins, minerals, and herbs known to remedy or prevent them. The book is written in a straightforward, low-key style. Interestingly, while it is meant to be a reference book, it is hard to put it down once you start reading it.

Good Guide to Nutrition and Irritable Bowel Disorder, July 4, 1997
Reviewer: A reader
Recently revised and written by a husband-and-wife team, a medical doctor and a certified nutritionist, this book is useful guide to dealing with more than 250 health disorders, including Crohn's and UC, through dietary, herbal, and supplemental therapies. I was given this book as a gift in its first edition. I have found a lot of practical advice here and I think the author's recommendations are given with necessary caution.

My most dog-eared, well-used "medical" reference book!, July 14, 1997
Reviewer: cshackelford@galileocorp.com
If you can only have one book to guide you about living a healthy lifestyle and treating conditions using herbs, vitamins and natural supplements, THIS is the book to have. It is well-organized, thorough, and easy to read and understand. The book first covers the basics about the vitamins, herbs, minerals, other supplements and healthy eating. A large portion of the text is devoted to detailed information about common conditions and illnesses. The book concludes by going over different therapies; how they are done, what they correct, and the authors are careful to caution the reader where appropriate. I use this book very often, and with good results

I WAS DIAGNOISED IN 1993 WITH HEPATITIS C AND WAS TOLD THER WAS NO CURE FOR THIS. i TOOK INTERFERON INJECTIONS TWICE WITH THE LAST TIME BEING 3 INJECTIONS A WEEK FOR A YEAR. SO I HAD NOTHING TO LOSE WHEN I TRIED THESE HERBS FOR HEPATITIS. I STARTED THE HERBS IN MARCH OF 1997 AND WHEN I HAD MY USUAL MONTHLY BLOOD WORK DONE IN JUNE THERE WAS NO SIGN OF HEPATITIS FOUND. IN A FEW HOURS IT WILL BE NOVEMBER 5TH, 1997 (MY BIRTHDAY) AND THANK GOD I HAD ANOTHER BLOOD TEST DONE A FEW WEEKS AGO AND THERE IS STILL NO HEPATITIS TO BE FOUND!!! THIS BOOK MAY NOT HAVE SAVED MY LIFE BUT IT CERTAINLY HAS PROLONGED IT. ANYONE WITH ANYTHING WRONG WITH THEM SHOULD JUST LOOK UP THEIR PROBLEM IN THIS BOOK AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THEY FOLLOW WHAT IT SAYS. WHAT HAVE YOU GOT TO LOSE? DARLENE HOLT ckherbs@netease.net

Reviewer: kcemross@tss.net from Olympia, Washington (USA)
Absolutely the greatest book! It has all of the information which your doctor does not give you. (The doctors are not lobbied by vitamin and herbal sellers as they are by the drug companies.) Lists cautions to watch for, combinations of herbs/vitamins that may be helpful or hurtful, recommended therapies such as exercise, etc.. I give it absolutely the highest recommendation, and I have alot of vitamin, mineral, herbal, naturopathic and medical refence books!
