Synopsis
The coauthor of the perennial bestseller PRESCRIPTION FOR NUTRITIONAL HEALING, James F. Balch, M.D., teams with naturopathic practitioner Mark Stengler, N.D., to present a very thorough guide to the often-confusing world of natural medicine. The first and largest section of this handbook offers descriptions, causes, and suggested cures for virtually every human illness and ailment, from the smallest (acne, warts) to the most severe (cancer, Alzheimer's disease). Each problem's treatment system includes "seven super prescriptions," directing readers to the best available treatment options, from herbal and Chinese medicine to bodywork and other systems. A far cry from Western medicine's emphasis on treatment of symptoms, this volume contains root causes and ways to avoid the ailments as well as efficient treatment. The second and third sections contain full discussions of the different kinds of natural medicine, as well as a resource guide.
