I already owned 2 great books: "Prescription for Nutritional Healing ..." by James F., Md. Balch, Phyllis A. Balch and Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine, by Michael T. Murray et al. I Found the translation of Gottlieb's book in Farsi for my mom in Westwood California. I was amazed by the variety of different info/techniques offered. From Herbs to Aromatherapy, from water therapy to cognitive therapy, from Yoga to Accupressure with pressure point charts. It sold for $18 and I thought it was well worth it. The 800 pages still can not delve too deeply into every thing. For example, 20 or 30 pictures in Yoga poses can only be a quick review of the most important moves, but it is a very nice intro for people who need to take the first step into better nutrition and healthy thinking. I am still amazed that this book has not gotten the attention it deserves in this country when books by John Gray sell like hot cookies. My mom who had blood pressures and did not yet believe too much in alternative medicine (with a triple-board physician son) is hooked on this book. I have not found any wrong info imo in this book yet, whereas I find half of the best selling "natural healing" worthless and inaccurate. hope this helps.

very fine reading .would certainly recommend this highly for all interested readers.it has brought great joy and help to me and relatives

Book was in great condition. THNAK YOU. Only a little disappointed on the ease of its reading/finding the remedy locations.

in choosing to take less drugs, this offers what I am looking for in alternatives

Rather a disappointment as none of the ads for this book hinted at the strong new age slant of the healing techniques. For each health topic the remedies cover areas like Acupressure, Aromatherapy, Ayurveda, Flower Remedy/Essence Therapy, Food Therapy, Homeopathy, Hyrotherapy, Imagery, Juice Therapy, Massage, Reflexology, Relaxation & Meditation, Vitamin & Mineral Therapy and Yoga. Most of these would seem to appeal to the esoteric new age mindset. In my opinion, about 30 percent of the 700+ page book are based upon useful scientific data. Overall, it was disappointing. I am glad I bought the paperback version and not the $20+ hardback copy.

The book is fantastic however, I would loved to have found it in hard cover and bigger print (which hard cover would have been). If there is one out there please send me an e-mail.
Thank you,
Sue
