Description
The evidence is in: Herbal and nutritional supplements have the therapeutic power to help treat and prevent disease. But how does someone know which ones to take and in what amounts? The answers can be found in this authoritative reference, which presents the best supplements to prevent or heal more than 100 common health problems.
Every recommendation in this book has undergone thorough medical review by two respected physicians who specialize in complementary and alternative therapies. In addition to precise dosage instructions, the authors provide vital information on contraindications and potential interactions with medications, foods, and other supplements; examine the science and skepticism behind controversial supplements such as bee pollen, creatine, DHEA, and vitamin E; and warn about conditions for which readers should seek professional medical care before self-treating.

If something doesn’t have a good layout and appealing graphs and charts, I can’t read it. This book not only has fantastic information on everything that needs to be known, but it is also set up in such a way that anyone can follow it. It remains easy to use and a great go-to-book for information.
I would recommend this to anyone looking to know what kinds of vitamins they should be taking, how much, and what foods they could also get them from.

I first saw this book in the back ground during an interview with a doctor on CNN. I ordered the book and was delightfully surprised at how indepth it was. If you are thinking about more natural ways to good health I recommend you get a copy.

Supplements can be a great way to relieve many health issues. This book explains the symptom and what supplement can be helpful. I found it very informative.

Slowly, over the course of many years, the collection of vitamins on my shelf which I consumed, grew larger and larger.
One day, when, unusually, I did not wake up in a good mood, I critically surveyed my shelf of vitamins with a singularly jaundiced eye, like a crow, side to side. Hmmm, the better part of 200 bucks here. Also, regularly refreshed ie, money spent constantly like a little river flowing.
I am not rich, I have my AARP membership card and the curious phrase I found on the internet “expensive urine” caught my attention.
A got a good book here, IMHO, delivered for less than 9 dollars, written by real doctors rather than some pompous, charlatan PHD’s or worse.
After 2 months of casual perusal of this book, I don’t feel the worse for wear taking its advice as so written.
In fact, I feel better, even if only now, as when I urinate, I appreciate not frittering away my modest little life savings.
The price of the book has clearly already paid for itself in both health and mental advantage and savings to boot, in my humble estimation.
My two cents.
Enjoy, use or ignore my advice as you see fit.
Well done, Amazon

I think we have to use common sense about supplements.

It has the supplements, including herbs commonly used, in the front with the ailments in the back. It caters to how you want to look things up and works nicely in explaining the way it works, the best way to take, and other information that is needed like drug interactions. It is not 100% fullproof, no one book is, but it is an absolute necessity in a natural medicine fan’s library.

Wife wanted this book as she thought it may have good information. After getting it she tells me that its value is way more than what she expected. Lots of great info in it.

The only thing is that it was not as inclusive as I would have preferred. Good referrence book, nonetheless.
