Smart Medicine for Healthier Living : Practical A-Z Reference to Natural and Conventional Treatments for Adults

It describes various diseases, provides allopathic or today's conventional treatments and then addresses: "Dietary Guidelines,""Nutritional Supplements,""Herbal Treatments,""Homeopathy,"Bach Flower Remedies,""Acupressure,""Aromatherapy," and General Recommendations" for each disease. This is my 2nd book as I loaned the well worn first to a family member who needed it more than me. This is one of my goto reference book.

My dog found my Amazon box and decided to open it and rip the cover off and rip a few pages about Alzheimer’s 🤣 but other than my dog trying to eat the book, it’s in perfect condition and a great resource.

Love this book! It has helped me already to find holistic herbs to heal. Great book. This is how medications first started..they all came from herbs. This is such a wonderful healthy alternative to medications. I would rather get to "the root" of my ilness and heal it..than cover it up for a little bit and have it come back. This book is easy to understand and to apply.

Fantastic information & thorough. I love how it reviews every condition with multiple types of treatment modalities. Every single person needs this book on their shelf! No joke.

I hate to even say how helpful this book is! Since I am an RN people call me for suggestions with cold sores, insect bites, stomach virus, sinus congestion, etc. I just pull out "Smart Medicine" and have a variety of suggestions on things that work well. A family member was having prostate problems and the doctor prescribed medication that caused heart palpatations as a side effect. The second type of medicine prescribed also caused irregular heart beat. "Smart Medicine" suggested Sal Palmetto which is a natural herb and has worked well without the side effects. Also the information on warts has been very effective. I keep an extra copy or two on hand to give to friends and relatives because "Smart Medicine" is like having a friend with just the right advice close by.

I am currently on my second copy of this book. My first one literally fell apart from so much use! This is a great resource for looking at different treatment options for a wide range of health issues. Among the different treatment methods are: conventional medicine, homeopathy, herbal remedies, acupressure, nutritional suggestions, and general recommendations. I have used this book time and again to put together successful treatment plans for my family and myself, using a combination of the methods provided. I have gifted this book to friends, and I also highly recommend this author's companion book, "Smart Medicine for a Healthier Child". It is similarly structured as this book, but the information is tailored for little ones where necessary, like dosage amount.

If you are going to buy only one book on health, it has to be this one. This book is very complete and easy to use. This book explains conventional and natural treatments and has a wide list of common problems or illnesses. First they describe the problem thoroughly and then describe the treatments for it, it allows you to compare the conventional and natural treatments and decide what's best for you. I am very interested in health issues and disease prevention and I read a lot about it, I have bought various books on the subject and this one is by far my favorite!!!

I am a nurse (RN) and I just love this book (also the one for Healthier Children)It gives you the traditional (allopathic) treatment that you can expect if you go to the dr.and alternatives - including diet and supplements to treat your ailments.It even includes things such as aromatherapy and body work.Just a great resource to have on hand.

A fantastic book filled with lots of information. Great for families

Having looked and used some of the material in the book. Clearly is a well thought out and planned book. Great as it gives different options for healing.

Hello.I have not had time than to browse the book, and it is what I expected.Now I'll tell you more when I read more slowly.

Great.

A very informative medical book that gives you multiple alternatives to treat a medical situation either through conventional or natural/ holistic methods.The book itself is well written - very clear and concise and down to the facts. Additionally, it is organized and well put-together.The reason for the lacking fifth star in the review is only because it doesn't contain every single medical illness you can think of, but it contains a good majority of them. It's not a big deal, though.Overall, I'm a happy camper with my purchase and would recommend this book in anyone's library!
