not bs

i know what people think of this book but i had ordered it then i read that it sucks. but when i got it and went through it, i got a lot of information that i didn't know about. almost none of my alternative books mention celery seed for pain. this book did and i bought the celery seed and guess what, it was one of the best natural pain killers that i have tried. its one of the first books i reach for when researching a problem. it also gives you links to websites where you can find a natural medicine doctor in your area . i am glad i got this book.

"Every" Imaginable Health-Related Topic Covered

This may not be exactly the world's biggest treasury, but it sure is comprehensive! It discusses not only intuitively-obvious topics related to health, but also such things as emotional health, light therapy, antibacterial soap, giving advice to others, snoring, the onset of puberty, lactose intolerance, longevity, insomnia, health-wise computer use, various alternative therapies, etc. There is varied discussion of conventional treatments. For instance, Luvox (Fluvoxamine) usually helps compulsive gamblers (p. 459). The Water Pik is said to be the best adjunct to regular and prolonged tooth brushing (p. 371). Every topic in this book has its own author. Dr. Kenneth Cooper, who wrote AEROBICS in 1968, now advocates non-strenuous exercise, although he himself maintains a running regimen (reminiscent of his earlier "Cooper's Poopers"). He says that a 30-minute brisk walk, done 5 times a week, constitutes sufficient exercise for the adult (pp. 375-376). Excessive exercise risks injuries. To test the ability of vitamins to dissolve in the intestine, one should do the vinegar-dissolution test (pp. 536--537). If a vitamin pill doesn't dissolve in vinegar heated to 100 F within 45 minutes, it won't dissolve inside you. However, proof of dissolution may not necessarily be proof of absorption in the intestine, nor of bioavailability at the cellular level.

one of the best

This is one of the best books on health related information I've ever read. It's a compilation of articles written by world renowed physicians, educators, therapists and health/fitness experts. The beginning of each article cites books written by each person which makes it an excellent reference. Much of the information in this book is well-known, but very few apparently follow the advice given, otherwise heart disease and obesity would not be so prevalent.
