The Pill Book Guide to Natural Medicines: Vitamins, Minerals, Nutritional Supplements, Herbs, and Other Natural Products

That about sums this book up. I've referred to it so many times when myself or someone in my family is suffering from a slight case of something or other, but we don't feel like blasting ourselves with over-the-counter medications designed for a slew of other symptoms.It provides a helpful grading system on how effective and how safe a product is when dealing with a specific illness/symptom. It's just a great book for someone who is interested in supplements & natural remedies but aren't sure where to start. A major upgrade from the kid working at the vitamin store in the mall!

Very informative.

Interesting book for anyone who wants to learn about natural medicines. I use in in parallel with The Complete Guide to Health and Nutrition. Well organized and detailed.What I like about this book is the last part that discusses common conditions: definition, causes, dietary factors, conventional and natural medicines for each condition.

I buy this every year, since new medicines come out almost every year. I check whatever any doctor prescribes for me: the contraindications, not just to other medications but to foods as well.I highly recommend this book and believe that everyone should own this.

I am an avid natural healer and this book has taught ME things! I like the format for the most part. It lists all kinds of different minerals, vitamins, natural substances, and herbals and their stats...efficacy, safety, etc. I just wish there was a section on some of the major diseases and how they are affected by each substance rather than having to read each and every substance and take notes. For example, heart disease is spread throughout the book in the various areas, rather than being in one convenient area. Otherwise, a very good book.

This book is a great guide and reference book, however before you dump the pills and go to the natural choices, you need to understand the there are differences in how pills work, compared to the natural way and also you need to discuss and changes you mightlike to try with your doctor before doing them.

Another fabulous book from Dr. Murray. I have gifted this book to a friend for their health reference library.

This book is full of information & many page to read about issues that may have you worrying about your health. I found that some natural treatments for a headache & am going to keep on using them.

a great buy, there so many books about pills, and it a worth a purchased, I recommend a book not ebook because searching on kindle is a bit difficult and I returned the kindle ebook as ithas no index and got a book instead , much easier to searching what you re looking for.

Gostei, mas não houve mudanças (acréscimos de suplementos) da edição de 2002 para esta, que creio, é de 2008. E de 2008 para 2020 há algumas novidades na área.

good reference book if one is onto naturopathy. Being a researcher on medicinal plants, I find it very useful and ineteresting
