I found this book very helpful, i'm very happy with it because for the price i paid it is been very helpful in finding answers for a couple of health issues i had. I really recommend this book and i will buying more from you.
This is one of my favorite books for health and nutrition. So, I ordered another one from Amazon.com. I tend to lend mine out over and over. The last time, I did not get it back. It arrived quickly and in perfect shape. Thanks Amazon.
This is an excellent source of health information. It also provides non-recommended fixes such as pharmaceutical drugs that most doctors would recommend. I have used it many times to look up natural remedies for illnesses rather than run to the doctor. The book provides a complete explanation of the illness and the natural remedies, nutritional needs or supplements that can be taken for the cure. I have found this book very informative and helpful. I would recommend it for anyone who wants to avoid going to the doctor.
In the short term, drugs are not the enemy but are your friend in reducing the amount of permanent damage the high blood pressure is causing. While doctors are certainly well trained and dedicated to helping you when ill, I need to be comfortable with any treatment being recommended for me. I do recommend this book wholeheartedly. PHARMACEUTICALS: I find many people want to be healthy AFTER the doctor wants to prescrbe medicine.
I have a BA in business. I am not a medical professional. I would never take info from this book and run out and start implementing it without additional input. In that situation, we would go to the doc for the children only.
After your acute situation has been treated perhaps some information from this book can be substituted for prescriptions. This book gives me additoinal non prescription INSIGHT. HOW I THINK THIS BOOK CAN BE USED SAFELY AND SUCCESSFULLY.NO INSURANCE: In a time where many do not have healthcare insurance, I feel you can use this as a jumping off point for additional research. Go to the library and do some additional internet browsing to support or refute what the book is saying. I just purchased the 4th edition of the book.
To that end, I would NEVER use information straight from this book on my kids. BETTER DOCTOR VISITS: When you do get a chance to visit the doctor you can come armed with your info from the book and other sources to get better care from your doctor. But you still have to be willing to exercise and eat better. This book is not the natural version of a cure all. Example: chest pain, BROKEN anything, fevers (adults and children), dizziness etc need immediate treatment.If you don't have insurance and can only see a doctor occassionally, use this book to bring up alternatives to medicines perhaps you can't afford. I plan to use this book as a jumping off point for more research on how to stay healthy using as few prescription pharmaceutical products as possible.Having been in the pharma industry for the last 18 years I have a birdseye view into the front and back office of medical care. Example: When your blood pressure is 150/110, beets are not going to lower it fast enough and you need prescription drugs.
This book is not to be used in a critical care or acute illness situations. I have been without insurance and we have children. Now, once the blood pressure is down you can then talk with your doctor about alternative ways to keep your blood pressure low.
The condition was o.k. not like new, I wish it would have been in a little better condition, kind of dirty looking.
