Absoulutely helpful. After I had my recent surgery, I began to pay more attention to my health. This book is a good guide to natural cure and self-care for optimum health.
This book was recommended by an Herbalist friend, and he was so right to do so. I was in need of a weight loss, and natural remedies where doctors were just making money with synthetic meds. Thanks to my friend getting me to be more vegetarian, I am achieving that weight loss, and referring to Dr. Weil's book is saving me dollars on expensive meds. Wonderful, practical, reference book.
If you are interested in finding out how to take a more natural approach to your healthcare this is a great book took keep on your bookshelf. I've always enjoyed Dr. Weil's books but I found this one especially helpful because it covers just about every health issue you or your loved ones might have to deal with including safe, effective, and realistic alternatives to the overwhelming amount of dangerous pharmaceuticals that other doctors often recommend. Dr. Weil includes well balanced and healthy information that can be used with traditional medicine. In a world of constantly changing medications and medical advice this book is basic and timeless and one the you might find yourself referencing often to find safe alternatives that you can discuss with you own physician.
Excellent reference book. However it's showing its age and some of the information is outdated (particularly on supplements). So only 4 starts instead of 5. Still worth reading, and checking Dr. Weil's website for current information (on availability of new supplements and current thinking).
This is an excellent Go-To reference from Dr. Weil. I have consulted this manual so many times.I am always in awe at the Wealth of Knowledge that Andrew Weil possesses. You owe it to yourself to get this book and refer to it regularly. He is the Master on Health and Well Being.He was a Good friend of Timothy Leary`s as well.
this and everybody's guide to homeopathic medicines were the standard health resources my mother used when i was growing up. living away from her and her bookshelf i really missed it and recently purchased my own copy. weil offers clear, wise advice on dealing with every type of health problem in a holistic way.
This book will make you scared to consume anything. Even water. In fact, after reading this book I lost weight simply from avoiding each and every type of food known to man, instead living purely off of vitamins and Dr. Weil bars. Honestly, the guy knows his stuff, and it did make me change some of my eating habits for the better.
