About the Author

Long before natural foods and herbal formulas became a "chic" widely accepted method for healing, Linda Page was sharing her extensive knowledge with those who dared to listen. Through what some would call an accident of fate, but she calls a blessing, she was compelled to research alternative avenues of healing. Sequestered in a hospital with a life-threatening illness, watching her 5-foot frame wither to 69 pounds, her hair drop out, and her skin peel off, doctors told her thay had no cure. With only a cursory knowledge of herbs, she began a frantic research process of testing herbal formulas and healing food combinations on herself.She read voraciously about herbal healing. Good friends shopped for herbs and she began to formulate the many compounds which would eventually save her life, revitalize her health and restore beautiful new hair and skin. It was that incident that led her to seek her degrees in Naturopathy and Nutrition at Clayton College of Natural Health in Birmingham, Alabama.

A prolific author and educator, Dr. Page has sold over a million books including "Healthy Healing", "Cooking For Healthy Healing", "How To Be Your Own Herbal Pharmacist", "Party Lights", "Detoxification" and a popular series of library books which address specific healing therapies for topics like menopause, male and female energy, stress and energy, colds and flu and cancer.

Dr. Page is an Adjunct Professor at Clayton College of Natural Health. She has appeared weekly on a CBS television station with a natural healing report; she is a principle speaker at national health symposiums and conventions; she is featured regularly in national magazines; she appears on hundreds of radio and television programs. She has just released a television program to PBS stations called "The World of Healthy Healing - Unleashing The Healing Power Of Herbs" a one-hour educational program that is entertaining and full of useful information about herbal healing.

Dr. Page delights in having come full circle: "I feel I am living my dream. I am so grateful that knowledge of healing through herbal formulas and good foods is becoming so widespread. I see it as an opportunity for people to seize the power to heal themselves. Knowledge is power. Whether one chooses conventional medicine, alternative healing avenues, or combines them both in a complementary process, the real prescription for healing is knowledge."

5.0 out of 5 stars No Home Should Be Without a Copy, July 28, 2000

Rebecca R. Hadley "Rebecca R. Hadley" (Houston, TX) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Healthy Healing: A Guide to Self Healing for Everyone (Eleventh Edition) (Paperback)

After first encountering this book in my local Whole Foods a couple of years ago, I got my own copy for reference. I can honestly say, it is the most helpful health book I own (and I own a lot).

Linda's wise advice has seen me through asthma attacks, ear infections and a nasty bout of depression. She's even helped my husband with his notorious tummy aches.

The ailments are listed alphabetically, so they're easy to find even when you're not thinking straight (like when you have the flu). Her treatment suggestions are incredibly thorough and include, herbs, vitamins and lifestyle suggestions.

Though it centers on treating specific ailments, "Healthy Healing" isn't just for when you're under the weather. It's filled with great information (including supplement and dietary protocol) to make sure you stay in top form.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well Done, January 2, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Healthy Healing: A Guide to Self Healing for Everyone (Eleventh Edition) (Paperback)

I just read a review that called Healthy Healty baloney - and am wondering what the motive for doing so is. This book does not insist that all suggestions are proven to cure a person - it only gives advice. The whole philosophy of holistic health is that we are not treating the symptoms, but the person. If this reviewer had actually read and understood the book they would have had a real idea of what this book was about. I use this book for reference frequently and trust the advice. Because I've actually read the book I know that not all advice will work for every person and it is not the intention of the author to insist that all suggestions will work for everyone. The responsibility lies with the reader to care for themselves.

5.0 out of 5 stars ESSENTIAL!!!!, July 27, 2003

By 

Blessed Sister "Blessed Sister" (Claremont, CA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Healthy Healing: A Guide to Self Healing for Everyone (Eleventh Edition) (Paperback)

I am ordering Linda's 11th ed. because I have owned her previous book for about 8 or 10 years and worn it out! I have recommended this book over and over for the wealth of info, the in-depth description of the benefits of fresh foods, vitamins, etc., not to mention the page by page of ailments/recommendations.

Poor fella that rated this book 1 star...you must be a medical doc or else you just haven't seen the "proof" that the Journal of American Medical Association didn't go out of its way to provide on itself (JAMA Vol. 284 No. 4 July 28, 2000).

Accidental deaths, 250,000; unnecessary surgeries, 12,000; medication errors in hosp, 7,000; other in hosp errors, 20,000; nosocomial infections in hosp, 80,000; adverse effects of meds, 106,000. These numbers they indicated were probably LOW!!

Now, that makes me thankful I have taken responsibility for my health and not handed it over to the medical community as we know it today! I haven't taken an antibiotic in about 15 years, and I get more strength each year as I learn more about wellness and maintaining a healthy immune response system.

Looking forward to your 12th edition, Linda! I'll be waiting and watching, and I thank you for introducing me to a much more healthful lifestyle!
