Summary: Nutritional Health Bible
Comment: We are only telling you of the excellent results we obtained after using a suggested treatment from this book. I have been using this book since the first edtion was published. The book was suggested reading by an amish man that was introduced to me at a country auction. I told the gentleman that my doctor's had tried everything over 4 plus years to lower my blood LDL cholesterol levels, lower my blood total cholesterol levels, and to raise my good blood cholesterol levels in the way of diet, exercise, and prescriptions. We are restricted in exercising by injuries received from an automobile accident. My cholesterol levels went from 600 to 210 in just under 3 months per my medical doctor, after using only 800 mcg of a mineral that this book suggested to take for high cholesterol. My medical doctor was shocked at the results of only just under 3 months of using this mineral had lowered my blood LDL cholesterol levels, lowered my blood total cholesterol levels, and raised my good blood cholesterol levels from 0 to within normal levels. We told my medical doctor that I wanted to stopping all prescriptions for cholesterol for 2 weeks before I started the 800 mcg daily doseage of the mineral suggesteed by the book. We found out later the amish gentleman was a self taught medical doctor. He is limited by state law to only doctor within their faith in the amish community. I did run into the amish gentleman again at another auction. We told him how much I enjoyed reading and using the suggested treatments in the book that he told me to read.

Summary: Great Book!
Comment: Absolutely Great Book for anyone! Even if you never buy an herb, this is a great book to have on hand to reference in the middle of the night when you're wondering about some problem you or a loved one are experiencing. It gives great recommendations of diet, herbs, vitamins, what not to do or eat, etc. It helps you help yourself be more healthy & conscious of what will benefit you naturally...not saying "don't go to your MD"... just "take responsibility for your own health & here is a guidebook."

Summary: Prescription for Nutritional Healing - 4th Edition
Comment: This is a very large book with great information. I like how it is laid out and for each issue (in Part Two of the book) the author separates some supplements you may want to take into groups in order of their importance/effectiveness. There is also a lot of information in the first part of the book.

Because this is such a comprehensive book, I don't think the author is able to be a specialist in each of the areas discussed, which can cause a problem. In specific, I was looking at the lupus section and the author recommends taking alfalfa herbs. Alfalfa is a big no-no for lupus patients in all forms (this is addressed in a wonderful book written specifically about lupus called "The Lupus Book - 4th Edition by Daniel Wallace). Under "recommendations", the author does recommend avoid eating alfalfa sprouts, but still recommends it as an herb. Any form of alfalfa is potentially harmful and may cause serious flares in a lupus patient. This is just an example of how the author can give some misleading advice.

So, although it is a great overall resource, I would highly recommend researching any specific problems/diseases you may be dealing with in addition to using the information in this book - just to be sure that you are getting the specialized information that the author may not be able to provide.
