Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine weighs three pounds and nine ounces, has 946 pages, and is as informative as it is hefty. The authors are naturopathic doctors--they focus on promoting health and treating disease with nontoxic, natural therapies. Naturopathic medicine follows these seven principles:

Do no harm: use safe, effective, natural therapies.
Nature has healing powers: the physician's job is to enhance the body's natural power to heal itself.
Identify and treat the cause: find the cause, rather than just suppress the symptoms.
Treat the whole person: administer to the patient's physical, mental/emotional, spiritual, and social sides.
The physician is a teacher: educate and motivate patients to take more responsibility for their health.
Prevention is the best cure: health-supporting life habits prevent disease.
Establish health and wellness: increase the patient's positive physical and mental state.

This book shows you how to improve your health through a positive mental attitude, healthy lifestyle, health-promoting diet, and supplements, with plenty of practical tips. Learn disease prevention through enhancing key body systems. The bulk of the book details natural remedies for treating more than 70 ailments. Each includes symptoms, description, therapeutic considerations (with discussion of studies), and a treatment summary, including nutritional supplements and botanical (herbal) medicines. If you have a disease, this book will give you a valuable perspective on natural treatments. If you're well, it will give you many pointers for maintaining and enhancing your health. --Joan Price

From Library Journal

Revised, updated, and expanded, this classic naturopathic reference by two naturopathic physicians is still one of the best books on natural medicine for consumers. Comprehensive and easy to use, it discusses some 70 health problems. What truly sets it apart from other similar titles are the scientific articles (82 pages in total!) that support the encyclopedia's content. Highly recommended. (LJ 5/1/91)

A great overview of natural medicine by two authors who are long respected in the field. In addition to an explanation of what natural medicine is, there are detailed descriptions of how to enhance health, immunity, and longevity through improving cardiovascular and digestive health. In addition it addresses specific health problems which make it a great supplement for those who want to dip into non-pharmaceutical treatment and can't find any professional medical support for doing so.

If you know a doctor who wants to encourage your efforts to take more responsibility for your state of health but who doesn't have the time to take courses, this is a great gift. There are plenty of references to research yet the text material is clear and easy enough for the layman to read. The doctor can give patients some relevant reading material while waiting for the doctor's return to the examination room.

Each of the specific conditions is followed by a review and treatment summary plus suggested lifestyle changes, supplements, and botanical medicines. There are often guidelines within each condition write-up that help the patient decide which treatments are more likely relevant to that person's needs. An example within "Insomnia" is the explanation that melatonin will not have a sedative effect unless the person is actually low on melatonin.

This is a great introduction to natural medicine as well as an ongoing companion throughout one's ups and downs of personal health care.

I've read several books on this topic as they've become popular. This book is one of, if not the best, on this subject. Thorough, comprehensive, informative, and reader friendly. By listing the benefits of natural substances as well as the most common ailments we face, 'EoNM' is also a great source for cross-referencing, and reinforcing the qualities and inter-relatedness of: vitamins, minerals, and herbs, to not only the physical, but mental. A well made point in this book is that the physical and psychological are strongly related.

With the plethora of nutrient information provided in this book, a critical feature to our health is also focused on and explained in the beginning of the Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine.

Attitude:

Our attitudes affect not only our mental health, subconscious, and ability to achieve small and large goals in daily life, but our attitude is directly related to our physical health.

Of all of the many books about Maslow, the best description I've ever read of Maslow's heirarchy of needs and concept Self-Actualization, is in this book. A questionnaire test follows, that measures our degrees of optimism vs. pessimism. There is also a recommended reading list of books on positive thinking and optimism.

This is a nutrient based book and numerous entries and lists inform the reader what natural remedies can prevent, reduce, and/or eliminate many of the common ailments we face. The bibliography given by the authors can be very helpful for those who want to explore further.

Great Resource

As a former skeptic of naturopathic medicine, I would like to tell people that are considering purchasing this book that it is a balanced, well-written resource.

I appreciate the fact that it cites what we know from mainstream medicine and then illustrates how alternative natural therapies can be applied to various conditions. I also pleased that for each condition, multiple therapies are recommended instead of just one. This allows the reader the ability to tailor their treatment plan to their needs and available materials.

Very educational and well written. Would highly recommend.

I've owned the earlier edition of this book for over 10 years and have used it exclusively for all ailments. It has always provided the most sensible advice. My father frequently called me for medical advice from my book so I bought him this latest edition. He says it has helped him in talking to his doctor by providing good information on the disease, cause, treatment options. It takes the naturopathic approach to treating illness, avoiding pharmaceuticals, and focusing on natural remedies. I would not be without it.

This book, is extremely informative and gives you the scientific standpoint which is great for the person who is acutally some kind of an herbal alchemist, but useless or less informative or interesting for someone thats wants more of a how to, the Kitchen Witch, which is considered alternative religeon deals on the why's and how much of kitchen wizardry/medicine. Or Rosemary Gladstar's is a better book for the Mom, Or Dad or Layperson. This book is for a person who is dealing with the chemical components/chemistry of plant medicine..

The Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine is an excellent source of information about using natural remedies for common and not so common health problems. It clearly explains the various medical
disorders and diseases and why natural medicines might be good alternative remedies. The book also talks about many of the recommendations Dr. Oz discusses on his show but be aware Dr. Oz did not write or endorse this book. I definitely think this would be a good choice for anyone interested in seeking other ways of copng with health problems. Also I would purchase from this vendor again, using Amazon.com of course!

Incredible book of info that doctors won't tell you. So helpful and gives great illustrations, explanations and breakdown of how the body works. Then, it's an entire second half of natural remedies so you can understand how simple nutrients, vitamins, or other treatments can work better than big pharmaceutical drugs!
