A very accessible, well-organized, and easy to understand book on natural healing. I took an immediate liking to it. Even if you have none of the ailments addressed in this book, you will still learn something of interest. Dr. Saul favors vitamin megadosing - especially with Vitamin C. My own experience with Vitamin C has made me a believer long before this book. I'm glad to see it mentioned here.
A couple of things I found particularly helpful: One was the information on Vitamin C IVs. If this is something that interests you, you might want to take Dr. Saul's advice and make arrangements way ahead of time. You will probably meet with obstruction at every step. Secondly, Dr. Saul brings home the necessity of staying with our loved ones while they are in the hospital to make sure their needs are met.
The Table of Contents lists 52 health issues, from acid reflux to vaccinations. Each issue is only a few pages long, but packed with useful advice on which nutrients (vitamins, diet, etc) might help with healing. Each chapter also is followed by a reading list for further study. As with any health book, one-size-does-not-fit-all. But overall, this is a good natured, positive, and often humorous look at natural healing - healing that YOU can do on your own. A keeper.

I have read only part of the book, but I will gladly get thru it all. He is right in that natural compounds are great at keeping us healthy. My interest is primarily cancer therapy. His book and my book "Vitamins Can Kill Cancer" both have an omission: few doctors recommend vitamin C as a cancer therapy. The state medical boards can fine or decertify doctors who use unapproved therapies. Fortunately, patients are not restricted by their state medical boards. My aggressive prostate cancer has been in remission for 14 years with vitamins and some early hormone therapy, all with no radiation, no surgery, no chemotherapy, no pain, no worry, and no lost body parts.

Answer: The decision whether to go to a doctor or whether you should "doctor yourself". I can't tell you whether you should go to a doctor or not, because I don't know you. Certainly if you break a bone, whole wheat flour won't help (actually, you can make glue from white flour in an emergency). Make your decision cautiously, because you may be stepping into a vortex. First, there's the yellow pill; then the green one to counter the side-effects of the yellow; then the blue... You get the idea.
Doctoring yourself begins at the table, and Andrew Saul tells you how to eat to stay healthy. If you do develop a health problem, you may be able to treat yourself, and Dr. Saul helps you with that also. This book is written in a very entertaining style, which has helped Dr. Saul to become one of the most recognized figures in nutritional medicine. His website, [...], is, in my opinion, the best health site on the web, and a major source for information about the orthomolecular approach to healing. This book is jam-packed with information and helpful in gaining a new perspective about life, medicine and the health of your family.

I would like to recommend this book highly! My wife and I both work in the "healthcare" system. She in hospice, myself in sleep and respiratory care. The current system is a nightmare. I don't know how else to put it! It is going to get much worse, unless the majority of folks take some responsibility for their own health. The value of nutritional therapy has been demonstrated for decades; however, unless the medical system can make a ton of money off of it, they will fight it forever.
The current attitude of living self-destructively, then saying to the docs, "now make me well", is a total trainwreck.

Dr. Saul put together a great book here. It's a fairly large book, 8" x 11", but it has lots of useful information. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in natural healing methods. He doesn't push his views on the reader and I think it will be a very useful book to me in the future.
