Summary: A Good Place To Start
Comment: My Uncle loaned me his copy of this book and I soon discovered that I had to have one of my own. Reader's Digest picked the best layout. There are about 38 pages to get you started on what and why vitamins and minerals are good for us. Then, 2 large sections that are remarkably helpful. The first, a list of ailments, symptoms and recommended supplements. The second section, a list of supplements and their properties. There is also a section I found most helpful on supplement interaction with other medications one may already be taking. This book is so very thorough. It has totally motivated me to go through with my new year's resolution of beginning a regime. As with anything new, the book always reminds us to check with a doctor before starting any supplements.

Summary: Enlightening and Informative
Comment: "Today, conventional medicine has fewer quarrels with alternative medicine than in the past....This openness to exploring new methods of healing is especially relevant to what I see as the most significant trend in alternative medicine: the dramatic increase in the use of vitamins, minerals, herbs, and other nutritional supplements. For many people, these supplements have come to play an important role in medical self-care, either as preventative medicine or as therapy for a variety of ailments." -David Edelberg, M.D., the chief consultant for this book

"The Healing Power of Vitamins, Minerals, and Herbs" is an A-Z guide and so much more. This book will encourage a deeper understanding of how various supplements can enhance your health.

These supplement may not always work miracles, but they do have proven benefits. A combination of supplements with a healthy diet and lifestyle changes (regular exercise, weight control, stress reduction) can help you avoid many trips to the doctor and help you avoid the "standard" medication or "prescription" refills we are all so used to.

Contents:

Comprehensive list of over 90 ailments discussed. The supplements and dosages to treat conditions is very helpful. This is the first section in the book and each ailment is given it's own two pages. It is easy to find your ailment in alphabetical order.

For each ailment, you will find these items discussed:

Symptoms
When to Call a Doctor
What it is
What causes it
How supplements can help
Supplement Recommendations
What else you can do
Facts & Tips
Latest Findings

Under Fatigue, you will not only find out that Hippocrates and Shakespeare wrote about it, but that there are many things you can do that do not include supplementation. Simple ideas like not skipping breakfast of avoiding caffeinated beverages. Could it be a vitamin B12 deficiency? Is it a result of stress? Too much exercise? The list goes on. Anyway, it is all very interesting to see the options.
