Prescription for Nutritional Healing, Fifth Edition: A Practical A-to-Z Reference to Drug-Free Remedies Using Vitamins, Minerals, Herbs & Food Supplements Paperback – October 5, 2010

Very informative and helpful

Comprehensive book that covers a MULTITUDE of topics, this book should be in every home. You never know when you may need to "call" on it! Just over a year ago, a good friend of ours stopped by saying that his wife was very sick having been diagnosed with cirrhosis of the liver. (She was nor is a drinker.) He was not expecting her to be on this earth for much longer. At that time someone had lent us an older version of this book for another situation. After our friend left we immediately looked up what this book had to say and got the information to our dying friend. That information literally SAVED her life! As she began to follow the directions of what not to eat etc. we began to see her health improve. She had got that she could not walk, was extremely thin and yes, looked like death was on her doorstep. Today, she is not 100% cured and unlikely to ever be so BUT she is walking, she has put on weight and more importantly is still very much alive.When asked about helping someone else with a different diagnosis we figured it was time to purchase this book for ourselves. For the money this book is PRICELESS! Pages and pages of information and helpful advice to set you back on your feet towards a healthy life. We purchased this book used. We were not required to write a review but chose to do so. Thanks, Liz

It is exactly what I ordered. Love the information it provides. My old book served me well!

I’ve been using these books since childhood. I haven’t purchased every updated version, but probably close to it. Some I end up giving away, because even after years they are still very informative and I don’t need more than one version for just myself. These have all the nutritional information you will ever need. Are you anemic? Then try eating more of these foods. Do you have anxiety? Try this. It’s so helpful whether you are looking to treat a certain condition, or just develop better nutrition habits. It has something for everyone. You really can’t go wrong buying these books. If you need one and can’t afford the newest version, you can always get a slightly older version. The only downside to an older one is that it might not have the most recent information, but I still find them all very informative and helpful. Of course you may still need to visit the doctor and take medication from time to time, but here you will find a lot of holistic/natural remedies that can help everyone either instead of or in addition to medication. But like I said, it’s even useful to someone who just wants to eat healthier and live a healthier lifestyle.

This book arrived without any page numbers, and the cover is misaligned.What a DISGRACE!I rated it 5 stars so that people can actually see my review and proof.

I bought my first copy in the mid '90's after browsing through the book at my retired mom's house. It begins with a helpful intro to the wonderful world of nutrition: vitamins, supplements, produce...what they are and why we need them. Next are the A-Z's of various disorders and conditions and nutritional ways to heal them (herbs, foods & supplements). The "foods" part is much easier to adhere to; some of the others can be hard to find. Thankfully, aside from a lil back pain, I am disease and ailment free...so healing for common things like mosquito bites and sprains was a plus for me. I bought the later edition a few years ago; I really appreciate the expanded section on Cancer because it runs in my family. Prevention includes consuming cruciferous veggies, avoiding peanut products and avoiding smoked meats among other things. What I didn't like was the overall grandure of the book...it's intimidating. I was in my 20's and impatient when I bought the first copy. My intentions were good but the book was seemed intense and overwhelming...a year passed before I really began to read it. The recent edition is even bigger. I strongly recommend purchasing the book, referring the book or giving it as a gift (of life) to someone. The mindset is - use it for what it is, a REFERENCE GUIDE - it's not a book that's read cover to cover. My approach to it was the same as to my bible...afterall it is my nutrional bible

I bought this book after multiple doctors appointments and medications gave no improvement for my chronic post nasal drip and inflamed tonsils and lymph nodes.I tried prescription medication for candida overgrowth, but nothing worked. I finally decided to try natural remedies at the suggestion of my mom, and I am happy I did!This book allowed me to look up my specific symptoms and diagnosis, and gave me alternative (and natural!) treatment options...and IT WORKED!I suffered for 8 months before I found natural supplements that have helped me manage my symptoms.This book offers so much more than alternative medicine, it also gives in depth information about enzymes, minerals, herbs, and they're functions.I recommend this book to people all the time now!
