This book is an absolute "must have" for anyone interested in natural medicines. It is comprehensive and the studies have been presented in a fair, unbiased way. I believe anyone who reads this book and carefully reviews each study will one day have the opportunity to save lives with this information. I am Native American, we have used this medicine forever, it works.

The pricky pear cactus may become a herbal superstar if Ran Kniskinsky, a professional health researcher, has anything to say about it: his Prickly Pear Cactus Medicine: Treatments For Diabetes, Cholesterol, And The Immune System points out this plant has long been a stable in diets and has been used as a remedy for many common ailments for a long time. Chapters document its use in the treatment of diabetes, its importance in treating obesity, and its applications as an immune system enhancer. Prickly Pear Cactus Medicine is a unique and invaluable contribution to alternative medicine reference collections.

This book was very helpful. I have diabetes and am always looking for something for something to help. Thanks so much! G. Wright

I had a friend recommend this book to me, and I was amazed at the author's recommendations. I grew up in Arizona where we hated the prickly pear cactus (or Nopal cactus). I always thought it was a nuisance and something to watch out for when hiking through the desert. Of course my attitude about the plant being "something to watch out for" is still valid, but as for the value of this plant, well my attitude has changed. I've been taking Nopal -- both in juice form and powder form -- and I'm finding I feel better with greater energy. It could be a placebo -- but whether it is or not doesn't matter because I feel a difference when I take it regularly. With all the scientific evidence supporting the consumption of Nopal, however, I tend to think it's a legitimate nutritional support. Thanks Ran Knishinsky for producing this book. I'd much rather spend my money on products that will help us naturally rather than on expensive pharmaceuticals with all their side effects.

This book clarified what I'd heard about the Prickly Pear Cactus, which has been mentioned in a lot of advertisements.
