Based on Stengler's extensive experience practicing and studying natural therapies, this book offers sound advice to help readers protect their health and fight illness with natural therapies. For each of the 100 therapies featured in the book, Dr. Stengler tells exactly what doses or treatments are effective; how often they should be used; and which conditions can be treated. The "Quick Cure Finder" gives fingertip access to the cure for a specific ailment or symptom. A comprehensive list of resources includes sources for herbs and supplements, practitioners of homeopathic medicine, and sources of exercise and natural therapy equipment. Newly discovered supplements are listed such as Calcium D-Glucarate for sweeping toxins out of the body, Ipriflavone for fighting osteoporosis, and Lomatium Root for enhancing the immune system.

This easy-to-use guide provides reliable, authoritative information about the natural solutions that ensure better health.

5.0 out of 5 stars EASY TO USE, September 6, 2001
By A Customer
Dr. Stengler's book is an easy to use, fact-filled book. I have used alternative medicine extensively for the past 7 years, yet I found so much new information in this book. It is comprehensive, all the topics are explained well and easy to understand and implement, so that even a "beginner" would benefit greatly from it.
This book deserves at least a 5 Star review.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of my new favorites!, January 29, 2005
This review is from: Natural Physician's Healing Therapies: Proven Remedies that Medical Doctors Don't Know (Mass Market Paperback)
I have to say this book has quickly become one of my most used reference books on natural medicine. Dr. Stengler did a truly superb job in consolidating the information in an understandable and practical way. I count his book as a reliable resource for herbal/nutritional/homeopathic information. And, that says a lot because nowadays anybody with some credentials can write up a book, but is it information you can trust? Another thing about this book, that I truly liked was it opened the world of homeopathy to me - the uses of Sepia and Pulsatilla for women!

This book shuld be on every interested person's bookshelf. You won't regret buying it!! I know, I don't.

5.0 out of 5 stars very practical, May 12, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Natural Physician's Healing Therapies: Proven Remedies that Medical Doctors Don't Know (Mass Market Paperback)
A very clearly written guide for "alternative medicine" [which is in fact part of medicine which every doctor should use, as the only purpose in medicine is to try to heal or to bring relief]

A lot of information,written in a modest style, nothing "blown up".

Highly recommended.
