Book Description

The Natural Pharmacist November 30, 2000
Discover Which Herbs and Supplements Are Best for You
Do you know that safe and effective natural treatments exist for many of today's common health conditions? The most recent scientific research suggests that in addition to promoting better health, many herbs, vitamins, and supplements may be powerful weapons in the battle against specific diseases.

Inside, you'll learn how the therapeutic wonders of natural medicine can benefit you. This revised and expanded second edition includes 100 new chapters covering the latest scientific evidence on the effectiveness of the most popular herbs, vitamins, and supplements. Every statement has been rigorously reviewed for accuracy by a medical doctor and a professor of pharmacology. You'll learn what works for you—and what doesn't.

Cross-referenced between conditions and treatments, this book includes:
·An A-Z guide to health conditions

· An A-Z guide to herbs, vitamins, and supplements

· Important dosage and safety information

· And much, much more!
Research in the field of natural medicine is growing exponentially. For this revised second edition of our best-selling The Natural Pharmacist: Natural Health Bible, we've added thousands of new studies. We've also translated over 100 non-English studies to report them accurately and scoured the research databases of the world to find older but meaningful studies that had been forgotten. This book is now based on a research database that includes over 3,500 full-text studies. We've added 50 new chapters to Part 1, Conditions, 49 new chapters to Part 2, Herbs and Supplements, and expanded and updated existing chapters. The Natural Health Bible, Revised 2nd Edition is truly the most comprehensive and up-to-date book on the science-based use of herbs and supplements.

Responsible and accurate, The Natural Pharmacist: Natural Health Bible is the source for information you and your loved ones can trust.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful!!!!, February 28, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: The Natural Pharmacist : Natural Health Bible from the Most Trusted Alternative Health Site in the World : Your A-Z Guide to Over 300 Conditions, Herbs, Vitamins, and Supplements (Paperback)
This book takes the mystery and mysticism out of herbs and nutritional supplements. The authors are objective in their description and count on the use of double-blind studies to determine if a particular substance has an effect on a particular condition. The book has a clever format - there is a section for conditions and a separate section for supplements, making it very easy to quickly find what you want. The book is fully cross-referenced and also lists all scientific publications. The writing style is most engaging, so the book makes a good read as well as a good reference.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dated but Authoratative and Relevant, August 7, 2006
This review is from: The Natural Pharmacist : Natural Health Bible from the Most Trusted Alternative Health Site in the World : Your A-Z Guide to Over 300 Conditions, Herbs, Vitamins, and Supplements (Paperback)
This is an excellent reference, written by a competent and unbiased MD. Though the source material is going on 6 years old in a field of daily change, this is an excellent (and inexpensive) starting point. For what it's worth, all of the material (now updated) with extra entries is now online via a link on the principal author's website [...].

Personally I enjoy holding and folding real books more than gazing into CRTs for the kind of study this material requires. For what it's worth all of the References for the older book and updated material are included in the online version. (Some earlier reviewers were quite affected by the omission of References in the print edition.)

What I liked about this text was its level of granularity. By this I mean, it wasn't too fine as you might find in a medical text, nor was it too coarse as you find in so many second hand texts these days. By second hand texts I mean books that are restatements of other books (rarely including the rigorous primary source material searches/reviews as the author did in this case). Thumbs way up!!!
