i bought this book a few weeks ago, but am yet to try any of the natural remedies in it. not for lack of interest, but for lack of anything wrong with me that needs any medicinal treatment. the book is in great ( almost new ) condition. it has a wide range of herbal medicines for most ailments i have heard of, and many i haven't. i just wanted to get away from the chemicals and big pharmacies for any treatments i may need. i don't trust them at all, and there are far to many medicines placed on the market and then a few years later recalled or removed because of lack of results, or for side effects which are worse than the ailment they are prescribed for. not to mention the astronomical cost( the big drug companies have such a huge profit margin in the united states compared to other countries for the same drugs. ) also, we have been creating a lot of strains of drug resistant viruses and diseases for the past 60 years or so, just by the over use of antibiotics and other medicines. we need to stop putting these substances in our water tables and soil, because they create a much greater problem with the passage of time.Read full review
I absolutely LOVE this book. There is a ton of information on a vast amount of topics for anyone interested in natural remedies. There are cautions(which I appreciate)about when it is necessary to seek medical attention. Drugs are a blight on our society and should ONLY be taken when absolutely necessary. Some of the information I have read in other places backing up what the author is saying. It is very well researched. I have bought several copies to give to others that may benefit. Europeans seek natural remedies(many more European doctors prescribe "natural" before using drugs), thus not suffering what may be the devastating side effects of drugs. ALL drugs have side effects, some of which are very serious. Drugs also play havoc with the immune system. So, if you haven't read it I heartily suggest that you do. Americans are sicker now than ever before, and drugs try to "fix" you. But they don't "prevent" what's wrong in the first place. I am also going to look for a doctor that will use natural remedies along with a prescription drugs if that is necessary. Americans have become a drug dependant society, to our shame. The next generation will be walking zombies if we don't wise up. Give the book a try-you'll be glad you did!Read full review

I like the book because it offers exactly what it says, alternatives cures that you can remedy yourself at home before seeking medical advice. Many times I have found things you can do as a home remedy work better and far cheaper than running to the doctor. Now there are situations where medical help may be necessary and I am not against that at all, this is just a nice guide for things to consider that many times can be taken careof yourself ot as preventative measures to avoid medical intervention.
From what I've read so far it has many helpful advice and remedies.
