4.0 out of 5 stars Shows how nutritional healing plans can help certain illness, August 23, 1999

By A Customer

I needed a book to explain how nutritional deficiency affects my illness and what I can do to help this. The traditional doctors do not normally include this kind of treatment plan. Traditional doctors typically just prescribe medications, and sometimes gives you the material published by the pharmaceutical companies. I found Dr. Werbach's book very helpful. It is easy to follow and author used clinical cases to show his point. Caution should be taken in blindly following the case studies. As the author points out, the plan is a personal one. I don't know why this book is out of print. I found it in the libary and it was a donated copy. I hope the publisher will consider printing it again so I can get a copy of my own. I hope the author will consider writing an update to this book and perhaps add more clinical cases, an update to the field of nutritional medicine, some difinitions( we have so many different kinds now it is confusing), how do I find myself a good nutritional doctors, what does these doctors do to determine what nutritional deficiency I have relative to my illness, how do they monitor this, etc.
