About the Author

Deborah Mitchell is a medical writer and journalist specializing in complementary medicine and nutrition topics. Her articles have appeared in professional journals, as well as national consumer magazines. She has authored and co-authored eleven books about various health topics, including Natural Healing for Back Pain, The Natural Guide to Headache Relief, The Dictionary of Nutritional Healing, Natural Aphrodisiacs, Natural Medicine for PMS and MSm: The Natural Pain Relief Remedy. I don't believe I mentioned my all-time favorite book, however: Walden, by Henry David Thoreau, which I think is a must read for everyone. "Simplicity, simplicity, simplicity" is the motto I live by, and I personally think the world would be in much better shape—spiritually and environmentally—if we lived by the Walden credo. I also think everyone should read "The Velveteen Rabbit," by Margery Williams. Although it's a child's story, it's for the child in everyone. Ms. Mitchell lives and works in Tucson, AZ.

5.0 out of 5 stars Clear, understandable explanation of SAM-e, July 4, 2000

By	TJ Schaefer (Arizona) - See all my reviews

This book answered my questions about SAM-e in an easy-to-read format. I like the fact that there are references at the end of each chapter...I like to know I can check on the research studies mentioned. Nicely done

3.0 out of 5 stars Side-effects?, July 12, 2007

By	Pohonui (Olympia WA) - See all my reviews

I'm not sure if this book covered the extreme side-effects attributed to Sam-E...it is an semi-informative book on alternatives, but do your research elsewhere before you take Sam-E.

This review is from: Sam E Solution (Hardcover)

This book is overly exuberant. Just like many books in this genre, one is left with the message that SAMe is the panacea the world has been waiting for. However this book fails to mention some basic information about SAMe that is CRITCAL (i.e.- SAMe has been known to cause electrolyte disturbances (especially involving calcium and potassium), can lead to elevated blood pressure as well as cause anxiety/panic attacks in SOME individuals). Do not take without the guidance of a qualified NATUROPATHIC PHYSICIAN!
