I am a soldier in the US Army. I put a lot of stress daily on my body both physically and mentally. I constantly have health related questions. This book answers most of them and helps me get better insight on general health issues so I can ask my doctor the right questions. This book is easy to use and the index has every lookup word that you can think of for health insight.

We refer to this book regularly. It is a wonderful reference for general, health-related issues and gives good, sound advice based on the most recent medical research which is chronicled in the University of California Wellness letter. Another reviewer sited that it did not have many natural remedies...it does make mention of homeopathic remedies, when research supports it, but not otherwise. Save trips/phone calls to the doctor and get this book.

The book serves as an excellent reference for anyone concerned with improving their health and well being. The book includes very up-to-date information on nutrition and many common sense health issues such as, home safety issues, safe food preparation, child car safety seats, water intake etc.

There is so mush more to wellnness than this book intimates. At times its closemindedness to new ideas is astounding. Save yourself the cost of the book, there are may better ones available, like Pizzorno and Murray's 'Encyclopeida of Natural Medicine.' This one is just too flawed.
