For anyone who is tired of having medical information doled out by a resistant medical hierarchy, here is some straightforward information to get you on the path to wellness. To reduce this book to a commentary about "grass clippings" (wheat barley grass), as a previous reviewer did, is a real injustice. Dr. Balch mentions the truly cutting edge information about numerous therapies unknown to most of us,including oxygen healing therapies like ozone treatments as one of the "10 Natural Remedies That Can Save Your Life."

Very quietly, even conventional MD's are using hyperbaric oxygen chambers and other oxygen-related treatments to treat patients with the so-called "flesh eating bacteria." Why? Because ozone and many other oxygen therapies are the ONLY treatments known to "kill the bugs, not the body." In other words, where antibiotics fail to destroy these "killer bugs," and severely damage the immune system, ozone re-invigorates the body by giving oxygen on the cellular level. Don't take my word for it; do a search some time on PubMed or some other medical search engine and see what you come up with!

Medical quackery? HA! Within the next decade, the Mayo Clinic and the rest of the shrines we have built to the bloated medical bureacracy will ALL be using innovative natural cures like the ones Dr. Balch recommends in this very readable book.

His first book, "Prescription for Nutritional Healing" has sold in excess of 4 million copies. "10 Natural Remedies That Can Save Your Life," especially at the amazingly low Amazon.com price is a steal.

This is a great book, especially for those not familiar with the world of natural remedies.

This book does the job of explaining WHAT our bodies need and WHY these Ten are the most important. Balch has helped us by picking the Ten Natural Remedies that are the most important ones. That way we can keep our focus a little better. Taking too many supplements throughout the day can get a little overwhelming. There are also combinations aimed at covering these areas of need. A site where my family has had great satisfaction in both service and product choices/quality is PapaNature. I feel the same way about praising them as I do about praising the work of the Balches. They also have additional documentation that exactly parallels Balch's topics in this great book.

I couldn't put this book down once I started it. It is really wonderful, and I have already started taking a few of the supplements the author suggests. I say "a few" because I found that the author could have done a much better job expressing/analyzing his ideas (that's why the four stars). For example, I am under 25, and there are a few things which left me in question as to whether I should start using them or not. If you are not sure of something, like me, you should see the book with your doctor and then proceed. If the author could expand a little bit more on his ideas, it would make the perfect book.

I don't usually write reviews for anything, unless I'm REALLY impressed with it. As for this book, I truly enjoyed reading it. It was an easy read, without a lot of technical detail. He explained the importance of each remedy and why they should be apart of your every day life. This is a basic guide for all adults to follow, especially for those who get bogged down with the many vitamins, supplements and natural remedies out there. The author seems sincere and compassionate towards his cause of educating people about the most proven and needed remedies out there.

I have spent the last two years of my life changing from a drugs/medicine/surgery patient, to a take-hold-of-my-own-life "doctor", arming myself with more information than I learned in all my years of schooling. Dr. Balch is right on - need I say more?

This book is rather indept concerning just one of the remedies,
and I know that it would be a valuable asset to others as well
as myself.

Thank You.

If you are like me, your health needs improvement. Well, this is the book for you. Starting with Dr. Balch's home remedy of ground lawn clippings to his pine mulch enemas, you'll find what you need here to get your body back on nature's track. Dr. Balch does touch upon the mind-body relationship, but a more detailed treatment is found elsewhere, like Thomas Nagel's The View From Nowhere (Nagel discusses a natural pasta salad that fully clarifies the mind-body link). Still, Dr. Balch's assertion that subjective, conscious beings living in an impersonal, objective universe can improve the mind-body connection by rejecting computer functionalism and eating toasted acorns seems rather controversial. But he hits the nail on the head when he talks about natural hormone therapy, particularly his thoughts on "running hormones" (a concept first raised by Macgruder in 1976 but ignored until Martha Stewart resurrected the idea in her new handbook of hors d'oeuvres). Does all this amount to medical quackery? Plainly, yes. But I wouldn't dismiss it offhand. We are living in a vibrant economy in the U. S. these days so there is money to burn. Why not waste it on this? At least you'll finally have the answer to a question that has plagued modern Americans: do I leave lawn clippings on the lawn after mowing or do I bag them and eat them as a salad?

Recommended for the health conscious individual.
