This review is from: Textbook of Nutritional Medicine (Textbook Binding)

This is a very good, literature based assessment of the use of vitamins, minerals, herbs, etc. for the treatment of disease. All of the recommendations are based on an extensive review of the technical journals. Dr. Werbach has arranged his literature based recommendations for common pathological conditions. He recommends and categorizes various nutrients if the literature definitely supports its use, probably supports its use or there is not enough empirical evidence supporting its use. If you're an alternative health care provider, this book is a must buy!
