A Wonderful Book !,
By Stephen Scheinberg, Ph.D., M.D. (Newport Beach, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Natural Medicine Handbook for People Over 50 (Paperback)
Natural Medicine Handbook for People Over 50 is a marvelous volume. Well researched, it documents important adjunctive and alternative approaches to common serious medical problems, especially for those of us who are (or some day may be) over 50. Logically organized and easy to read and digest, it is written for all who are interested in promoting and maintaining good health and longevity, both for themselves and for their friends and families. Physicians and nurses will find it invaluable for education and improved well-being of their patients.

Natural Medicine remedies for People under and over 50!,
By Robert Brehm, M.A. (Kent, WA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Natural Medicine Handbook for People Over 50 (Paperback)
Natural Medicine for those under or over 50!Rarely does a handbook meet the rigors of academic scrutiny, satisfy the practicing professional and still appeal to the lay reader. This easy to read compendium of alternatives for treatment of health problems for people under or over fifty presents a brief compilation of selected natural medical remedies. I was so impressed that I use it as an adjunct in my college Stress Management course. I think it is an essential resource for anyone who is serious in understanding keys to improving health and for anyone who wishes to pursue research in the natural medicine remedies for health problems.
