A number of years ago I had read this book for continuing education credits for nursing. It is relatively easily to read and understand. The author is not only a MD but also a Naturalpath. Her message is well-sited and makes perfect sense. She has basic recipes (so to speak) for many major illnesses. I had lent this book out to a colleague and never got it back. It is so important that I ordered another for myself and one for my Aunt. I have tried her suggestions or suggested these for other people and it has been positive.
