I owned a copy of Prescription for Nutritional Healing book years ago and used it with great success in encapsulating herbs.
When I purchased this book I selected a new copy but instead received a used copy. However the book is in great shape
and for the price it's worth the error. Overall I'm satisfied with the delivery and the book.

I got this book back in the 1990's. It is superb.

Part One tells you how to use the book. Introduction - Elements of Health - Vitamins and their uses - Antioxidants and their uses - Natural Food Supplements and their uses.

Part Two has The Disorders (illnesses) which explains causes and remedies which includes herb teas.

Part Three has Remedies and Therapies (Blood Purification, Fasting, Juicing etc.).

In my opinion newer books, are nothing like this one and not as good.

The nutritional healing book, has been so full of information. I have already used some of the info and did the job. I do know there are other books from the author. So far this has pleased us and very educational. It is written in such a simple way. I will be keeping this for years to come. Debra..NC

I found this book very helpful, i'm very happy with it because for the price i paid it is been very helpful in finding answers for a couple of health issues i had. I really recommend this book and i will buying more from you.

Reviewing a product of this nature, I first check the credentials of the author(s). No problem here. He is a medical doctor, and his co-author wife is a certified nutritionist. Appropriate credentials for the subject in question. As an overview, the book details the treatment of ailments from A-Z by the use of herbs and such. It is well written, well organized, and thorough. The first part explains the concept of nutrients, enzymes, amino acids, proteins, among others, and is tutorial in nature. The mid section covers a myriad of alphabatized ailments explained along with the recommended herbs for treatment and is primarily a look up reference when needed. The final section covers remedies, presumably originating from folk lore. I am aware that many medicines originate from plants (including herbs); however, I also realize that many of the healing herbs are medicines in their own right, can have unpredictable and dangerous side effects, and their purity, potency, and prescribed use are not regulated like pharmaceuticals. The phrase "The layman who is his own doctor, has a fool for a patient" comes to mind, and for that reason I gave this title 4 stars in fear that a less critical reader may blindly follow the recommendations without due consideration of the possible consequences. I do believe that at least one of these herbs can cause severe and irreversible liver damage if used improperly. Far from a physician, I may be tempted to try such recommendations if a situation arose, but even then I would proceed with CAUTION. I still recommend the book for the tutorial on nutrition, the explanations of how the organs function, their various ailments and possible causes and it will remain on my book shelf. Hope this has been helpful and not over-reviewed.
