Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Health care gets another draught of do-it-yourself spirit in the updated version of this 1990 bestseller (some 16 million copies were sold, and it was translated into more than 20 languages). Employing advice culled from hundreds of doctors, the editors present an A-to-Z of common ailments from asthma to menopause to warts, and multiple suggestions about what to do about them. Included within are "8 Tips to Stop the Cough," "14 Soothing Ideas" for lactose intolerance, "12 Comforting Steps" for vaginal infections and "35 Hints for a High-Energy Life." The advice isn't always assured-e.g., witch hazel for cold sores is something patients "claim...really helps"; and "theoretically, it is possible" that phenol could kill the herpes simplex 1 virus-but there's more than enough solid ideas to make this volume worthwhile. It's not a medical manual, warn the editors, but a reference "designed to help you make informed decisions about your heath"-and perhaps to help you refrain from calling your doctor at 10 p.m. on a Sunday owing to a particularly violent case of the hiccups.

This review is from: Doctor's Book of Home Remedies: Simple, Doctor-Approved Self-Care Solutions for 146 Common Health Conditions (Hardcover)
This book is interesting. It gives you an array of suggestions broken down by topic. It covers your entire family and pets. There are notes from doctors covering the suggestions on the topics and I thought it got out of hand a bit there. But it gives you something to think about and go from there.

4.0 out of 5 stars Try a few of these helpful suggestions., December 24, 2002
This review is from: Doctor's Book of Home Remedies: Simple, Doctor-Approved Self-Care Solutions for 146 Common Health Conditions (Hardcover)
We have all heard of various wives tales, and home remedies, and most likely tried one or two when we have had an ailment. This book is compiled by Prevention magazines. Compiling approximately 140 various ailments that we all have. Each topic is given several pages of suggestions. Since its Prevention magazine they do seem to be plausible, and not harmful in anyway. Often the text is accompanied by text doctors have written on their suggestions. Book covers topics for men, women, children, and even your pets. I found the book education, and the suggestions very helpful.

This book has been instrumental in bringing relief to several personal aches and pains over the years. Whether instantly calming two Colicky crying babies, by simply following this book's advice of turning on a vacuum cleaner, I suggest handheld, or extremely helpful information about relieving Gout. These remedies have been right-on-the-mark. For sufferers of all ailments, what have you got to lose?
