3.0 out of 5 stars
Mostly advertising,
By Trish (Springfield, MA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Health Benefits of Medicinal Mushrooms (Paperback)
Good for some basics and traditional treatment uses. But the stress on his preferred hot-water extract methods are so frequent that it seems much more like a PR piece than something you'd buy.
