Prescription for Nutritional Healing, Fifth Edition: A Practical A-to-Z Reference to Drug-Free Remedies Using Vitamins, Minerals, Herbs & Food Supplements Paperback – 30 Jun. 2011

Great informative book. Crammed full of valuable information.I refer to this a lot.

This is a little old, but the info is still relevant and it is still useful for reference whilst studying. It help give a good picture of basic prescription medicine, supplements, diet, herbs and alternative methods together.

I have been using these books for years and have helped myself, family, friends, strangers and even given away as gifts. This is a great first point of reference book. You can find most illnesses and conditions. There is usually a brief introductions with useful categorization of Very Important, Important, Good etc. and a list of potential vitamin/mineral deficiencies to supplement - as well as what herbs maybe useful - followed by anything else that could be useful, like dietary exclusions/inclusions and other external things that might also be beneficial. This has acted as a first point of call and then I look into things further through the internet, further books/journals for reading and understanding.

I bought this book after I saw one that was given to a friend for her birthday. However, Amazon were not selling at such a competitive price and I ordered from a Supplier in Canada with a little anxiety. I needn't have worried the book was with me within a week. I think Amazon is now selling direct so even better if you want quicker. Lots of tips on the types of herbs and things that you should use for natural healing.

Bought for my son, who likes to mend himself wherever possible. All herbal or food based remedies, much of it like granny used to say, so pretty good.

I fully recommend this book if your looking into natural treatments. It as a write up on most conditions and which herb or vitamin will help you. Its quite a big book with around 828 pages but it is very good value for money, would not be without it.

I would reccommend this to everyone it has changed my life and health.2 things to note it does not cover how birth control or prescription drugs lower certain vitamins in the body and neither does it cover very basic herbs such as mint etc.However the book is huge, the largest book i own! It really helps you to find what your defficent in, it also covers really simple sicknesses such as leg cramps or heartburn etc.

Boy is this a big book and filled with lots of information on vitamins , minerals, herbs, natural food supplements, drug interactions and more. Table of contents is very clear and easy to work with. Each disorder/issue/dis-ease is clearly defined with numerous ways to address it , including "essential" vs "helpful" supplements. I'm very happy to have this in my library.
