I have looked at a lot of references on natural medicines, and this one is by far the best. This book is laid out like a huge chart. It's over 1000 pages. For all the different herbals, and vitamins, and supplements this database shows all sorts of other names, uses, side effects, cautions, interactions. A lot of herbs can interact with drugs and this information is in here. It has brand names and ingredients. It covers all the herbs and vitamins and minerals and supplements. Everything I've looked for has been in it. The book is put together by a large group of pharmacists and physicians. They are very scientific, and they list thousands of medical references where the information comes from. I like the fact that the various products are rated. The book tells what's effective and what is safe, and gives ratings for these. It shows which prescription drugs cause the body to become deficient in certian nutrients. It also says what's safe to use during preganancy. My doctor says this is the best source of scientific information available on this subject. If you want a good scientific reference this is the one to get. Inside the book there's the address of the book's private website that is terrific. There are also charts of interactions and charts showing which supplements work for certain conditions.

The Journal of the American Medical Association says this Book, Natural Medicines Comprehensive Database is SUPERB and HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. See the whole article from the July 14, 2000 issue: ..............
