Great Alternative to Dangerous Drugs with Side Effects,
By
This review is from: Prescription Alternatives, Third Edition : Hundreds of Safe, Natural Prescription-Free Remedies to Restore and Maintain Your Health (Paperback)
This is a terrific book with excellent alternatives to overly prescribed drugs. Let's face it. If you go to your doctor with high cholesterol, high blood pressure, high blood sugar, fatigue, insomnia, anxiety, etc., you are going to leave the office with a drug that has multiple side effects. Not only that, taking several different drugs each day can lead to numerous dangerous interactions that your doctor can't possibly calculate. This book offers safe alternatives with impressive results similar to taking a drug, but without the liver and kidney damage, headaches, nausea, etc.

Helpful,
By basket lover (Tennessee) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Prescription Alternatives, Third Edition : Hundreds of Safe, Natural Prescription-Free Remedies to Restore and Maintain Your Health (Paperback)
I was looking for an alternative to the prescriptions I had been taking because of the side effects. This book gave me guidance as to what direction to take. Dr. Mindell is a wonderful writer and I have taken his vitamins and am now relying on his knowledge to replace prescriptions with natural remedies.

Good advice,
This review is from: Prescription Alternatives, Third Edition : Hundreds of Safe, Natural Prescription-Free Remedies to Restore and Maintain Your Health (Paperback)
If you buy into the idea that naturally occurring compounds have been around long enough for us to be tolerant of them, or created with DNA similar to our own and also well tolerated, this will be of great interest.
