Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Supplement solutions to a wide variety of health problems make this comprehensive, easy-to-use reference an indispensable addition to every home self-care library

The evidence is in: Herbal and nutritional supplements have the therapeutic power to help treat and prevent disease. But how does someone know which ones to take and in what amounts? The answers can be found in this authoritative reference, which presents the best supplements to prevent or heal more than 100 common health problems.

Every recommendation in this book has undergone thorough medical review by two respected physicians who specialize in complementary and alternative therapies. In addition to precise dosage instructions, the authors provide vital information on contraindications and potential interactions with medications, foods, and other supplements; examine the science and skepticism behind controversial supplements such as bee pollen, creatine, DHEA, and vitamin E; and warn about conditions for which readers should seek professional medical care before self-treating.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cut through the BS and get some help, January 28, 2007
This book is so helpful in cutting through the BS around supplements and giving you the information you need to find just the right thing. I get so sick of the fake vitamins, the ridiculous claims, the marketing hype. "Solve it..." gives me the information I wanted to easily find the right supplement.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fair, Balanced, and Fun!, January 2, 2007
Herbs and other dietary supplements are widely used throughout the United States as complementary or alternative therapies. Almost half of patients use alternative therapies for chronic medical conditions in conjunction with over-the-counter and prescription medication. However, only 50% patients discuss the use of alternative therapies with their physicians. Thus, this work serves (in my opinion) a purpose beyond the obvious; that is, to narrow the knowledge gap that exists between physicians and patients by providing accurate, scientifically verifiable content that's both reader-friendly and useful.

Dr. Schulman inspires patients (throughout his book) to learn about the interaction between mind and body while utilizing a scientific approach to educate the public on the use of alternative/complementary therapies in the healing process. "Solve It With Supplements" provides a thorough review of not only the use of phytonutrient products in practice but also the basic science behind them (without being overly technical). He even throws in a little trivia to spice it up!
