Written by a medical doctor and a certified nutritional consultant (James F. Balch, M.D., and Phyllis A. Balch, C.N.C.), this revised and expanded edition of Prescription for Nutritional Healing is one of the most complete, up-to-date guides to nutritional, herbal, and complementary therapies available. Prescription for Nutritional Healing starts with the premise: "Good nutrition is the foundation of good health." In the 600 pages that follow, the authors expand on this concept, explaining how to heal the body, achieve optimum health, strengthen the immune system, and increase energy levels using vitamins, minerals, herbs, and dietary food supplements. The book contains three sections. "Understanding the Elements of Health" provides a thorough introduction to nutrition, diet, and wellness; offers guidelines for selecting and preparing food; and discusses hot topics such as aspartame (Is it safe?) and phytochemicals. "The Disorders" gives an A-Z reference to handling more than 300...

Nutritional Health Bible:

Mom of eight!!:

I have used that Priscription for Nutritional Healing for several years now and it has saved me many trips to the Doctor by showing me how to take care of my self and my family.
I am mother of 8 children--and 10 grandchildren and so this year I ordered this book for them for Christmas. I wanted them to have a good reference book of their own as they raise their families!!!
I call this book My health bible!!!

Great Book!:

Absolutely Great Book for anyone! Even if you never buy an herb, this is a great book to have on hand to reference in the middle of the night when you're wondering about some problem you or a loved one are experiencing. It gives great recommendations of diet, herbs, vitamins, what not to do or eat, etc. It helps you help yourself be more healthy & conscious of what will benefit you naturally...not saying "don't go to your MD"... just "take responsibility for your own health & here is a guidebook."

Prescription for Nutritional Healing - 4th Edition:

This is a very large book with great information. I like how it is laid out and for each issue (in Part Two of the book) the author separates some supplements you may want to take into groups in order of their importance/effectiveness.
