I guess since its the DOCTORS version of HOME remedies they are going to send you to the drug store first for most everything. I was really hopeing for more at home remedies. Im all into natural cures that most docs dont even know about. No where did it reccomend the plant plantain for bug bite itch. It did have the bananna peel remedy for warts but it was in a small side box after it reccomended you get compound W from the store. Im not hapy with it at all. I was looking for HOME remedies. Most of the book is common sense, like for bug bites it tells you not to get bit in the first place. DUHHH. I guess I was looking more for homeopathy not what the doctor will tell you. You know the stuff you gr grandmother would have done. This book is going in the yardsale!
Namaste

I checked out several home remedy books from the library and this one was by far the most informative, most thorough and most interesting. It describes the illness/injury in detail and gives multiple suggestions for at home remedies to keep you out of the doctor's office. But it also tells you when to go to the doctor. The book is full of common sense advice and remedies that include items that most people would have at home or could easily get from the drug store. If you're looking for a book of natural remedies that strictly uses herbs, essential oils or pressure points - you might want to keep looking.

My wife uses this book almost every day. I have not been able to get it away from her. That gives it 5 stars in my opion.

I truelly love this book. Saves on unnecessory medicines. A great reference book; .

This book is ok... I have an older book that is made by a different company that offered better advice and gave better options. This book is ok but have read better!

I have an older copy a friend gave to me. My parents no longer have health coverage and I bought this for them.

Boy this book covers just about everything. I love the fact that I already have all the "cures" in my cabinets. I've already tried some of them with great success. I know I will be checking back through this book many, many times. I like to try home remedies first. This book is very thorough. I would highly recommend it to everyone. You need to have it handy on your shelf. It will save you a lot of money.

I wish I didn't spend the money. This book doesn't give me any more information than you could find on the internet. I was hoping I could get recipes for home remedies but basically it just tells you the causes of different things and to go to you doctor. What a waste of money...

This is the kind of book I like to leave around. Every once in awhile I will pick it up and read something in it. Each ailment is listed in alphabetical order, which makes it very easy to navigate. Not only do they give you ideas, but they offer other help-- bruises for example--they tell you how to cover them up, and cellulite--it tells you 18 ways to fight it. Wrinkles?--24 ways to avoid aging. Since this book is by the editors of Prevention magazine, I imagine this is why they have so much on prevention. It is fun to pick up and read anywhere,

I didn't like the book. All the advice is old, the information would come up with the most exterior google search. Not worth it to my opinion
