Simon & Schuster The Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine Third Edition by Michael T. Murray and Joseph Pizzorno - Paperback

I wish they listed the potential side effects and potential fatal overdoses that could be caused by their suggestions. I was hoping to have a book to replace the need for internet research, but I still have to look everything up online to verify if it is safe to take and dosage recommendations. Unfortunately I had to do a bunch of comments and writing in the book because there was not enough important information listed. And some of their recommendations could cause severe complications. However, with my own work and research included, it is a good book to start off with.

This was a recommended book in one of my classes, and I do love the content (anything by Pizzorno is great!) However, there must have been a printing mistake in the Amazon allotment of this book because the first 20 pages are missing. I returned the first and bought it again, only to discover the same thing. Literally the first page starts mid sentence on page 21!

This is one of those truly great references every household should have. I have used many of the solutions proposed in this reference with great results. I have also verified the ones I have used prior to using them with best medical institutions on the planet such as NIH. Johns Hopkins, etc. and they all check out. There is no voodoo or conjectures in this volume. These are time-tested and backed by scientific research/papers; solid evidence based science here.

What a surprise! I bought this book because an article mentioned that it had a lot of information about RA. This is true. However, every other condition I've looked up has been explored as comprehensively. This is not a book written at 5th grade level. The authors explore and explain the research on whatever topic they are discussing. I do not agree with all of their conclusions, but the fact that their conclusions are evidence-based, thoroughly researched, and well explained is indisputable. Written with holistic, balanced approach. An extraordinary purchase.
