I got this for my 200 lb. wife who complained of gout and incessant digestive issues, and pain around her lower ribs the Drs. couldn't diagnose. They kept wanting to remove her gall bladder, but tests didn't technically support that.After several days spent reading this book, she changed her eating habits. 8 months later she was down to 160 lbs, free of most of her gut issues, and rarely has the rib area pain. She lowered her Uric acid levels by following guidelines in the book, and affirmed that her gut issues weren't gall bladder, but rather gluten sensitivity. She's not totally gluten intolerant like some people, but the book helped her identify enough gluten-loaded foods that the gluten she does take in doesn't cause any problems.She did get a little prescription help for the gout/uric acid situation, but her more careful diet helps a lot in that department, I'm sure. And the most obvious result is the 40 lbs. she dropped in the process! She also went back to using Benecol spread and Benecol Chews, which provide plant stanols in the gut that ties up cholesterol in food, so it can't be absorbed. Her lipid panel blood tests confirm that Benecol helps enough that her doctors have cut her back on cholesterol prescriptions from 3 to 1. I'm not sure she needs even that, except it controls liver-produced cholesterol that the gut stanols don't.Like any great book though, it won't do any good to buy this one if you don't have the wherewithall to step up like my wife did and follow its guidelines, without fail. If you aren't up to that, then don't waste your money. If however, you are determined to rid yourself of a lot of your pain, physically and emotionally, and are willing to keep your nose to the grindstone for several months at least, and preferably for life, then order the book. The food choice routine gets easier as you get used to it, and may have a side benefit for your family too.

Das Buch das nun schon in der 5ten Überarbeitung auf dem Markt ist ist für mich ein Muss.Es enthält für ca. 300 Krankheitsbilder. Alles was ein Mensch der in den USA auf dem Land ohne Krankenversicherungsschutz weit ab vom nächsten Arzt so alles braucht.Das Buch enthält für jede Krankheit eine Berschreibung, eine Selbstdiagnose, Empfehlung für Nahrungsergänzungen - Verhalten - Kräutern, Empfehlungen sowie Hinweise die für mich sehr ausführlich und neutral ausgeführt sind.Damit ist das Buch für jeden der sich mit dem englischen Text auseinandersetzt eine umfassende Ergänzung zu den Informationen vom Arzt.In Deutschland ist diese Art der Aufarbeitung von Krankheiten in Büchern den Medizinern vorbehalten. Anderst ausgedrückt gesetzlich verboten.Es gibt noch weitere Literatur aus der Schweiz, den USA und England. Hier möchte ich exemplarisch "Burgerstein' Handbook of Nutrition" (nur in englisch) und Patrick Holford's Buch "The Optimum Nutrition Bible" erwähnen.

This is a little old, but the info is still relevant and it is still useful for reference whilst studying. It help give a good picture of basic prescription medicine, supplements, diet, herbs and alternative methods together.

**"Nutritional Healing" by Phyllis A. Balch** is a comprehensive guide to using nutrition and dietary supplements for improving health and combating illness. The book is well-organized, covering a wide range of conditions and the nutrients that can help address them. It's a valuable resource for anyone interested in the therapeutic power of food and supplements, offering practical advice and extensive references. While it can be dense, its thorough approach makes it an essential reference for both beginners and seasoned health enthusiasts.

This version boasts that it is “totally revised and updated” and they’re not kidding. It is no longer a natural book, but full of pharmaceuticals advice. Do not buy!
