This is the most informative and interesting book on healthcare that I have ever read. The common sense approach to wellness and the blatant use of prescription drugs that make one ill are both addressed with plenty of references. Too bad more medical doctors don't or won't read Dr. Tanton's book. Perhaps there would be fewer people in nursing homes with debilitating diseases.

My son meet Dr.Tanton while doing a job at his home.My son was due for surgery the next week to have his galbladder removed. He has suffered for years with sever attacks. Dr.Tanton suggested he get a food allergy test first, and to read this book. He cancaled his surgery took a food alergy test and started following the information in this book. Yes he was allergic to several things(soy products was a big one). He watches what he eats follows what he has learned in this book. He has only had 1 small attack in four months. I bought the book and I have learned so much to help me stay healthy. Recommend to Everyone

I feel that Dr. Tanton did a great public service with this book. It was almost textbook in its presentation. The only complaint that I have was that the index was a little taxing because multi-use items meant that you really have to hunt through to get to what you want. For those who feel led to disagree, so be it. I do not think that anyone can put in a book a diagnosis suitable for everyone unless it was for a history of someone that was studied. We fail to think that we should be more responsible and able to make good assumptions based on the information that is given. I took a lot of what I read in the doctor's book and used it to make further inquiries and because I had more of an idea of what was needed, I felt a lot less nervous about things that mattered to me. I appreciate that this book aims to inform the reader rather than showcase the writer. One last point: we, on the hold need to take advantage of opportunities to find out what medicines and remedies are available in light of the shortages, recalls and quackery in todays health environment.

There are some good hints and others I am not sure I agree with.

Read the book and decide for yourself what has value for you.
