Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

In recent years, some evangelical Christians have abandoned their traditional suspicions of "alternative medicine" and begun to cautiously embrace the natural arts of holistic medicine, vitamin therapy and even yoga. This A to Z guide urges readers to "take advantage of all that God has provided" in the way of natural remedies such as herbs, vitamins, minerals and water. (Water is definitely the hero of this book. One section even recommends drinking an ounce for every pound of body weight a day during "detox" periods.) Unlike such books as "Alternative Medicine: The Christian Handbook" or "What Would Jesus Eat?" this one does not weave a Christian perspective throughout, but mentions it very briefly at the beginning and tacks on a Scripture verse. The how-to advice is similar to those other books, however, particularly regarding the need for a high-fiber, low-sugar diet. One especially helpful feature of the book is its quick-reference guide to ailments ranging from acne to zoonosis. (Yeah, we didn't know that one either. Basically, it means you got a disease from an animal.)

5.0 out of 5 stars Natural Health Personified!, November 6, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Natural Health Remedies: An A-Z Family Guide (Paperback)

After hearing Dr. Janet Maccaro on a talk show, I couldn't wait to get her book Natural Health Remedies. It has been my belief for years, if it can be done the natural way,that's the way to go first. This "user-friendly" book encourages the reader to get their bodies back on track the natural way. The author is a Christian and believes we should look to God as the source of all healing and He has supplied every "herb of the field" as a support for the health of our bodies. One category most important to me, considering the times we are all in, is how our mind and spirit effects our health. Flower Power for Emotional Health is a miracle for those suffering from fears, worries,irrational thoughts, lack of self-confidence, despondency, etc. No other book does this like this one! Also extensively covered: Building Your Immmune System and Function; Top Ten Life Enhancing Supplements; Natural Healing Protocols; Anti-aging and Losing Weight. It truly is an A to Z book! A week after reading this book and using some of the suggested remedies, I have truly been astonished at the difference. My health food store is now recommending this book. It is a book everyone should read!

This review is from: Natural Health Remedies: An A-Z Family Guide (Paperback)

I saw Dr. Maccaro on a talk show on the TV and found here to be very personable. Her book is a great resource for information and redmedies. I have been looking for an natural healing book but so many of them have so much New Age spirituality I could not bring myself to buy them. This book will give you down to earth remedies and uplifiting Christian veiwpoints. I found it very refreshing and informative.

This review is from: Natural Health Remedies: An A-Z Family Guide (Paperback)

I think this is an excellent resource to have in the home for continual review of different health conditions and natural(herbs and vitamins)ways
of treatment. As a Christian, I appreciated the references to prayer and
the Bible.
