The content was interesting but perhaps a little dated. I found the section on vitamins and supplements especially useful.

This is a great resource, not only for curing specific ailments using natural medicine, but also for achieving ongoing optimal health to prevent illness.

The copy I read was published in 1995. The material, which can be read straight through or dipped into like a dictionary, is still relevant.

Dr. Weil is straightforward and clear in his writing. I find him very helpful.

There were a few good nuggets of info in here, but it seemed a bit unrealistic. “Remove all stimulants from your life” — that is not going to happen.

Very Informative book filled with practical advice on diet, nutrition and leading a healthy life. I found the following chapters particularly valuable -
Breathing techniques and Stress
(2-4-7 breathing which I now use daily)

and Fats:
Polysaturated Fats (Seed oils, Very Inflammatory = Bad) vs Monosaturated (Olive oil, Avocado oil, heart healthy = Good).

As Michael Pollen says. "Eat mostly Plants" Andrew Endorses this ethos. My book was printed in the 1990's so I think some of his claims have been been disproved and are a little outdated- I will have to get a revised edition.

Ultimately a great book that cuts through the noise to provide simple, clear advice on healthy living.

Excellent book on naturopathic medicine and human wellbeing, though its info/research may have been outdated since the book was written.
