3.0 out of 5 stars Herpes A Nutritional Approach, July 27, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Herpes: A Nutritional Approach (Today's Health Series, No 7) (Paperback)

Herpes A Nutritional Approach gives a good but short overview of the subject. In just 31 pages the reader receives a lot of summarized information. The reader looking for facts and definitions should be satisfied. However, the reader looking for more in-depth information would probably not be satisfied with this book alone.

The first part of the book briefly covers what herpes is, the types, the causes and how it develops. The section on herbs is more extensive and gives a good overview on which herbs, vitamins and minerals are recommended to boost the immune system and soothe the condition. This is the part of the book i found the most interesting.

The last section gives a very short case history and recipes. I was surprised however to read recipes using ingredients i had previously read should be avoided. In other books nuts, peas and brussels sprouts were said to be avoided or consumed with moderation. These contradictions were therefore rather confusing.

All by all, considering the price, the book does give a quick overview and covers the main aspects of a nutritional approach. I preferred Controlling Herpes Naturally by Michele Picozzi which covers the same subjects more fully and with a lot more detail.
