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.

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.

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!

I concur with all the positive reviews I've read. This book is a life reference manual for anyone who wants to live healthfully.

You will not be able to keep your nose out of it and will adjust your life accordingly. It is very insightful and informative.

I have the 10th edition plan on passing it along. I will get the 11th and wear it out, too. I recently lent my copy to a dear friend and couldn't get it back. Every day our conversations surrounded something to do with this book. It was wonderful.

You'll love it too.

This book is a good reference for "what to do for ..." situations, such as "I have a migraine; what do I do?" The author is very diligent about providing solutions from different schools of thought, including naturopathy, homeopathy, reflexology, aromatherapy, etc. Also included are ways to alter one's diet to promote healing. My only criticism of the book is the relatively small amount of information regarding disease prevention.

This book is absolutely indispensable in anyone's library. I've owned it for over 10 years and refer to it regularly for myself and my clients...

We wore out the edition we bought years ago and so went out and purchased the eleventh edition.

This book is WELL worth the price. It's the only "medical" reference you will need in your home. Linda Page explains the causes of ills and provides you with natural remedies. She gives you options from a wide array of approaches including herbal, body work, and nutrition. You have several options so you can pick one that fits YOU best, as opposed to a one size fits all approach.

There are also sections on detoxing and rejuvenation. As well as reference for overall usefulness of various herbs and natural products in everyday use. I knew a lot about natural remedies before, but have learned so much more from this book.

You'll see that we have all we need to heal ourselves.

I just read the boloney review, and if anything is boloney, that review is. Educated and intelligent people recognize this. It may be that "boloney reveiwer" could benefit from one of the wonderful cleanses that Linda Page presents.

Anyway, Linda Page certainly has respectable credentials, and her work is highly respected by professionals and people around the world.

I love this book and use it as a reference for work and home. I am gifting it to my neice. These kinda books are empowering and helpful for people who like to be in charge of their own health & healing. It is educational and gives you several options on what to do. I have made copies for people I work with to give them some anchor and ideas about what they can do to help themselveswhen they were suffering from a particular ailment that is not serious.
Thanks for the opportunity to review this.

I ordered this for a friend, and she said this was the book she had read about and needed. She also said it was in like new condition, she was amazed that it was used. Iwill continue to shop at amazon.com
