Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

Balch, who coauthored the bestselling Prescription for Nutritional Healing, and Stengler, a naturopathic doctor, present this hefty reference book with detailed entries for about 200 ailments, from "abscess" to "warts." Each entry offers a definition of the condition and an explanation of associated symptoms, causes and testing techniques. The authors provide treatment options for each problem, including homeopathy, hydrotherapy and "Super Seven Prescriptions" (specific remedies mostly involving dietary supplements). Although some readers may wonder why almost as many pages are devoted to "dizziness" as "cancer," the entries do provide a helpful overview of common therapeutic approaches and include journal references, though it appears only some of the recommendations are supported by published studies. Balch and Stengler review basic alternative therapies, too, such as diet and nutrition, nutritional supplements and traditional Chinese medicine. While they acknowledge that some people will require both conventional and natural treatment, their tendency to equate "natural" with "nontoxic" seems overly simplistic. Many dietary supplements, for example, can be as potent as prescription drugs and cause side effects or interact with other medications. Still, readers navigating the sprawling world of alternative medicine will find this comprehensive resource to be a helpful starting place.

5.0 out of 5 stars Broaden your horizons, Sep 8 2006
This review is from: Prescription for Natural Cures: A Self-Care Guide for Treating Health Problems with Natural Remedies Including Diet and Nutrition, Nutritional Supplements, Bodywork, and More (Paperback)
It might not be your health bible but it is certainly a good resource guide of holistic medicine. A book well worth considering for anyone serious about his or her wellbeing. The authors present an overview of basic alternative therapies, including nutrition (healing foods) and supplements, as well as traditional Chinese medicine. I think it is a good book for any open-minded person. Another, great book of similar subject matter is "Cure the Incurable" by Tombak. In fact these two books should be sold together as they support and complement each other.

This review is from: Prescription for Natural Cures: A Self-Care Guide for Treating Health Problems with Natural Remedies Including Diet and Nutrition, Nutritional Supplements, Bodywork, and More (Paperback)
It's a wonderful book - informative, comprehensive and logical. I couldn't put it down until I had read it right through! Just one concern - it does seem to be written for people with some measure of knowledge of natural medicine and remedies. If you're looking for a "natural remedies for dummies", it's not for you.

Over 200 reviewed illness, diseases and conditions that you can find natural helping roots and natural products to better deal with them and or treat as effective as modern medicine? Great information to take with you on your next physcial to ask your doctor about. Helps you take charge of your own health in your own home.Another book not to miss is by Dr.Adam Weiss- The Backsmart Fitness Plan- a very wholistic workout that teaches you to train correctly. Both books are wonderful.
