Book Description

March 6, 2003
The essential guide to nutritional healing based on the latest medical research. This is "the skeptics guide" to alternative health care.

For over fifty years, Betty Kamen's specialty has been her ability to extract the most promising developments from the huge body of published medical and nutritional research. She presents these findings in a common-sense format that helps resolve many of the controversies in alternative health care, with hard data from published sicentific reports.

One of Betty's favorite mediums for imparting information is the Internet. Her daily Table Talk Nutrition Hint email provides readers with a short, user-fiendly health tip based on the most current research. Now, by popular demand, the best 1,001 of these health secrets are collected in one volume and organized according ot the medical condition they address.

Use this book to sort out the conflicting claims and counter-claims found in the complicated world of alternative health and nutrition - not with anecdotes, conjecture or hype, but with peer-reviewed reports of controlled experiments published in repspected medical hournals. If necessary, you can even use this book to help open your physician's eyes.

Conventional medicine tends to lag behind the latest research, especially when new conclusions challenge the orthodoxy of mainstream medical practices. Armed with the scientific sutdies that Betty has collected here, you can play a more active and informed role in the course of your own health care.

5.0 out of 5 stars So much information!, May 29, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Betty Kamen's 1,001 Health Secrets (Paperback)
This is the only health advice book I'll ever need. The material is well-organized and easy to find, and it's comforting to know that all the recommendations, even the most alternative therapies, are based on documented scientific research. A winner all the way around.

5.0 out of 5 stars University Professor, April 20, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Betty Kamen's 1,001 Health Secrets (Paperback)
It is my pleasure to review "1001 Health Secrets." I find the book to be well wriiten, pleasant to read, and most importantly full of useful and timely information. In a world where there is as much nutritional misinformation as reliable information circulating I am delighted that Dr. Kamen has pulled togther a referenced resource to help anyone sort fact from fiction. Many people have shared with me that they have given up believing that the nutritional information they hear is right as the tidbits of nutritioional wisdom broadcast by the news media seem to change and are often contradictory. However, there is a stable and growing body of knowledge that is data-based (backed by research). When examined as a whole the credible research studies actually do support each other. Betty Kamen is masterful at sharing results of valid research and helps create the big picture of what is healthful. This book does an excellent job at pulling together many aspects of what is known about best nutritional practice with clear explanations, all referenced to mainstream medical and nutritional literature.
