There's a lot of useful information in the book for someone interested in making & using herbal medicine but there's also some errors as well. For example: She says on page 77 that "elder is not effective on rhinovirus" & then "elderberry is not an effective remedy for the common cold, & both those statements are just plain WRONG. Regardless of how Elder works, it is still VERY effective on Rhinovirus (common cold).
I've been using Elderberry syrup for several years & have successfully treated DOZENS of upper respiratory tract infections (common colds) that I've had, as have my Pastor & Choir Director & others I've shared it with, oft times we've felt relief in MINUTES.
Another example is on page 169, where she bashes whole grains, & claims that "there really isn't much difference between a slice of white bread--and a slice of whole wheat bread".
REALLY? No room here to go into detail, but if you don't know how much better whole grains are for you than processed white grains, I suggest that you go to the Mayo Clinic web site and/or Harvard Health Publications, put out by Harvard Medical School & ask if whole grains are healthier than white processed grains.
There are also multitudes of other information sources that report similar findings, but these are a couple of (i.m.o.) the more notable ones.
