Sure enough the results came back positive for Celiac's. This book has a thorough description of symptoms related to various diseases and then offers helpful suggestions on what one can do to treat a specific disease. Using this guide I was able to suspect I had Celiac's disease and so I ordered the blood work on my own.
Thanks Amazon. If you have a cold sore, strep throat, pink eye, any of the common aliments that affect us this is the go to book to have for natural remedies. I ordered this book Thursday morning and it came Friday afternoon, super fast and convenient.
While there are some products that will need to be ordered online or directly from the company, her suggestions are rich and varied and one is bound to find what one needs. I found this book, Prescription for Nutritional Healing, very useful and complete. Her organization and presentation of the material is so easy to read. Buy it.
Nevertheless, this is a great book to have, whether one is just learning or is an informed reader about natural and alternative remedies. I highly recommend it. I'd like to see an even stronger glossary, and for the index to be updated. She has a nice glossary at the back, plus generous listings of product mfg and distributors, medical and health organizations, and a strong index.I'd like to see her ad more illnesses and disorders and go into greater depth on some of the ones that she lists that are currently somewhat abbreviated.
In the second part of her book, she lists a fairly complete listing of the disorders with descriptions of each and the remedies and therapies, and in the last part of her book she summarizes various other alternative therapies (like aryuvedic medicine, the use of music and sound, blood purification, color therapy, the use of crystals, the use of magnets, exercise, yoga, and hormonal treatments, and she also includes a nice listing of pain management alternatives. Although, I'd like to see this section much expanded to include more of the listed herbs' uses, but also to include many more herbs listed as well, along with any 'warnings' on all the herbs too. It's a great resource guide to nutritional healing. There's also a nice quick reference section towards the front of the book around/approximately page 70-110 that list various herbs and their uses.
She also indicates her favorite, good quality products that one can purchase at most quality health food stores. In part one she offers the basic building blocks of health, (nutrition, vitamins, minerals, amino acids, engymes, herbs, natural foods, etc). I love the no-nonsense, quick reference organizational quality and especially how informative it is for a lay person and how she sometimes offers not just one or two modalities of remedies or therapies, but several.
I view the book as a 'starter' for many conditions, rather than one that has definitive and detailed advice or recommendations. If you look this up online, however, there is a HUGE split between the traditional and non-traditional health/medical communities as to whether this is safe to use.
If you have a certain condition and have looked into common causes and treatments, this book probably won't tell you more than you already know. Granted, this isn't uncommon, but it's particularly prounonced with this supplement.Anyhow, the book is well-organized and covers a lot of topics.
Anymore, it's hard knowing how to treat or prevent physical or medical problems, be it the common cold or chronic conditions such as diabetes and cancer. As an example, the author frequently suggests Colloidal Silver (for everything from ear infections to rattlesnake bites).
But if you're looking for a good overview of how to treat a whole variety of conditions, this is a great book. I stumbled by accident upon this book and have slowly been making my way through it (It's 869 pages).
That's not a bad thing, but it means the reader will need to do a bit more research on some of the supplements/herbs/treatments that are recommended.
So, I decided to buy this latest edition and it has all the necessary updates that I needed. This book has saved me many times and not only did it teach me about nutritional healing, it also has excellent recommendations for vitamins, supplements and herbs that helped me to nurture myself back to health. It truly is a good buy and a must have. I have an older edition of the Prescription for Nutritional Healing Book for years and it is such a life saver for me. Prescription drugs never work for me due to the dangerous side effects.
