Bowden, Jonny. The Most Effective Natural Cures on Earth: The Surprising, Unbiased Truth About What Treatments Work and Why. Fair Winds: Quayside. Jan. 2008. c.360p. photogs. index. ISBN 978-1-59233-291-5. pap. $24.99. HEALTH Verdict: In this fast-paced world of pill poppers and pill pushers, fitness expert Bowden (Living the Low-Carb Life) provides a welcome, vetted holistic approach encompassing the mind-body connection and natural treatments. Although the book's organization could be improved by listing each condition alphabetically, the content is useful, and readers can locate topics using the index. Recommended for medium to large public and academic libraries.

Background: In six chapters, Bowden reviews more than 75 specific health concerns and alternative treatments for a variety of topics including cancer, skin disorders, PMS, stress, diabetes, menopause, and depression. Readers learn about alternative and cutting-edge natural remedies, including supplements, herbs, foods, and healthy lifestyle choices, complete with research, a glossary, recommended reading and resources, and indexes. More than 75 attractive full-color photos lend the book a coffee-table tome browsability  - Library Journal's Xpress Reviews

Product Description

A comprehensive look at natural treatments and healing methods that work.

Jonny Bowden takes his practical, knowledgeable, and open-minded approach -- the same approach that made his previous book, The 150 Healthiest Foods on Earth, so successful -- and focuses it on natural cures, revealing the best of alternative medicine for a mainstream audience. Through his personal use, extensive research, and wide-ranging expertise in nutrition and health, Jonny sorts through the myriad home remedies from every discipline and tradition to show which work and how best to use these proven healing techniques. He also explains through approachable and articulate descriptions why they work and on what basis he selected these cures -- whether it is patient testimonials or the latest scientific studies to give you peace of mind and the information you need about each treatment.

The book explores more than 75 common conditions, including allergies, cancer, high cholesterol, depression, diabetes, hypertension, menopause, and stress.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews 60 of 60 people found the following review helpful: 5.0 out of 5 stars This is the "REAL" Natural Cures book, January 6, 2008 By  Max (orlando FLA) - See all my reviews I've looked at a lot of these books including the "famous" best seller which is a complete con job. This book, however, is the real deal. I've read Dr. Bowden before and he doesn't disappoint. The book is witty, easy to read, fascinating, not too technical, but at the same time loaded with real scientific references explaining exactly what works, why, how and what to expect. It's not the kind of junky book that claims to cure cancer with a pill. Rather, it takes a reasoned approach to how to use natural medicine and everyday remedies to improve health, symptoms, and in some cases even get rid of the problem. It doesn't over promise but it definitely over-delivers. I was blown away by the endorsements and raves by other medical and nutritional professionals in "integrative" medicine- everyone from Dr. Oz (the guy on Oprah) to Christiane Northrup to even Mark Victor Hansen! After reading this book I know why they said what they said. By the way- highly recommended- if you read nothing else, at least read his brilliant INTRO which is a great essay on the state of American medicine, why your doctor doesn't know about this stuff, and how to take care of your health 39 of 40 people found the following review helpful: 5.0 out of 5 stars Very useful information, December 22, 2007 By  Angie Lynn - See all my reviews This is a wonderful book that presents a vast amount of useful information in an accessible way. The author supports the material he presents in the book by citing credible sources. He also doesn't shy away from addressing negative as well as positive elements about the "cures" he presents and he gives the reader sources for additional reading on a myriad of topics. The information in the book is very practical and can easily be incorporated into one's day to day life. 27 of 27 people found the following review helpful: 5.0 out of 5 stars The Genius Of Jonny Bowden Is In Making The Complex Digestible, April 1, 2008 By  Livin' La Vida Low-Carb Man "Jimmy Moore" (Spartanburg, SC) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)       Who doesn't have a "natural cures" book out these days? With diet and health books coming out of our ears these days, it seems everybody and their momma has their own take on what it takes to get and stay healthy in modern society. Sadly, many of these "experts" are nothing more than fly-by-night shysters who are simply in it to bilk you out of your hard-earned dollars by making you buy some obscure products that can (SURPRISE SURPRISE!) only be purchased from the author's web site. AVOID THESE "natural cures" books! That's what makes Dr. Jonny Bowden's THE MOST EFFECTIVE NATURAL CURES ON EARTH so special. He presents well-researched and commonly-found cures to many of life's ailments that completely run the gamut. From obesity to diabetes to joint pain and everything in between, Dr. Bowden has got you covered. You may be surprised to learn a particular dietary approach that is often erroneously labeled as a "fad" by much of the medical community and the media is one of the primary "cures" that is shared for a cross-section of ailments. Unlike most books of this genre, Dr. Bowden makes this stuff sound cool, too. His engaging writing style is what fans of his have been loving since he wrote LIVING THE LOW-CARB LIFE and THE 150 HEALTHIEST FOODS ON EARTH. You get more of the same with all the very latest studies to back up every claim made in this book. This is DEFINITELY one book you won't want to be without if you care about your health.
