There is only one thing that makes this book worthwhile; Buying it used on Amazon.com. Some of the information contained in this volume is usable some is not. The great thing about buying it used on Amazon. com is that you can read the reviews from people who actually bought this book and then if you still want it you can get it for a fraction of the original price and often without paying for shipping. Thanks Amazon.

This book is a list of items that is a complete waste of time and money. The guys on TV sound good, but this is really a complilation of stupid tid-bits of information. Save your money.

I am very disapointed by this book. I bought it because the advertisement guaranteed a secret way to lower high blood pressure in two weeks. Surprise, the book said to exercise, eat better and go to the doctor for medication if it is more than a little bit high. No secrets in this book, just what you have already heard on television and from every other source.

I have received Bottom Line's mailed brochures (who hasn't?) and once received their newsletter (an eye opener). I have reviewed, on Amazon, one of Bottom Line's recent other "books" of sensational cures.

When a publication advertises "secret" fixes and that the establishment is purposely hiding from us cures for ailments, you can be pretty sure such a publication is skating on very thin ice.

I am shocked that the former, famous 20/20 host, Hugh Downs, endorses this type of approach.

Is this approach flim-flam? Read my review of their similar publication, BOTTOM LINE'S HEALING REMEDIES, on Amazon (why should I say the same thing twice?) and draw your own conclusion. Apparently, a lot of people disagree with me--not most of the reviewers, though--and buy (literally) into Bottom Line's approach.

in the 5 star review, the write states this and the preceeding book...if so why are all the raitings for the previous book only 2 stars or less...all stating a rehash of information that has been around for years and is available anywhere? I have purchased bottomline products in the past and I agree, waste of money! Beware of infomercial!

Health Secrets? I think not. I agree with most of the other reviews. It is a fair guide for answering questions you have in laymens terms. But it does "re-hash" most information you can easily obtain anywhere. But as far as giving you "cures or secrets" it hasn't helped me with anything I've looked up. I'm glad I have it - it works as a reference. I've had my copy for about 3 years, and refered to it a couple of times, but I'd rather get online and find my answers. For the price I paid, I felt it wasn't worth it.

'Same old, same old' says it all. There's nothing here that you haven't already heard from a hundred health reports on television. Save your money. You'll learn more looking up the problem on the Internet.

This a an informative book, but not exactly what I was expecting. I wanted a more detailed book and this just gives an overall view and the information is basic and mostly what you already know. I purchased a used book and didn't pay much at all for it and it was in excellent condition, so all in all I was pleased with the purchase, but a little disappointed in the contents.

Like folk tales and myths? Buy this book. I was so disappointed when I got it that words escape me. There is little in this book that Grandma can't tell you and there is little that corresponds to the infomercial. Alternative medicine may have it's place but this book does not. Save your money.

There are a plethora of naturally-based vitamins and herbs on the market

aimed at enhancing health. This book explains the rationale for reducing

risk areas for heart disease, stroke, diabetic neuropathy,

Alzheimer's disease and many others too numerous to list here. The volume

explains the ineffectiveness of some vitamin calcium supplements because

they simply cannot be absorbed efficiently into the body. Other vitamin

supplements have plastic encasements which are problematic. A strength

of this work is that the authors sort out the helpful products from

ineffective or harmful ones. Whole foods and components of whole foods; such as, celery, broccoli, yucca, tumeric and cinnamon contain specific benefits for persons suffering from the inflammatory aspects of musculoskeletal ailments.

This book and its predecessor versions contain invaluable insights into

alternative medicine and complementary medicines. A copy should be

in every household. The work is important for senior citizens because

they are most vulnerable to clogged arteries, dementia, Alzheimer's,

arthritis/rheumatism, gastro-intestinal tract problems and a host of

other diseases of middle/old age. This acquisition contains many

practical and cost-effective alternatives to deal with these diseases

effectively . In some cases, classic diseases can be avoided by

phasing in lifestyle and dietary changes decades before old age.
