2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, January 17, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Healing Digestive Disorders: Natural Treatments for Gastrointestinal Conditions (Paperback)

An awful lot of advice....but nothing exacting. Don't think you are going to read this and be able to cure yourself. A lot of medical info is wishy-washy and often contradicted from one chapter to the next. With the level of chinese medicine he is recommending...you still need a professional.

This review is from: Healing Digestive Disorders: Natural Treatments for Gastrointestinal Conditions (Paperback)

This was full of good information but I was disappointed it didn't cover GERD in more detail and explain more about how to treat it at home WITHOUT antacid medications. I was so hoping I would find out more about this topic having dealt with GERD for the past 5 years.
