Alternative Health Options & Forty Years of MS Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book is one man's story of multiple sclerosis. It is a candid, straightforward account of where he has been and where he is today. It has many informative references which allow this book to be used as a comprehensive reference for those suffering from MS, their caregivers, and their physicians. He describes his disease process and how he reached his improved condition today. Charles is not one to sit back and accept things. He must find out, explore, try, and challenge existing pardigms to find out for himself what works and what does not. The book is easy to read, in a logical format. He describes his overall condition as better, with a sense of well-being, with such symptoms as numbness noticeably better then one year ago. This is a must read for those with MS. I respect Charles for his wonderful attitude, for not giving up, and for showing us that drugs are not the only way to work with this disease. Congratulations!
Nedra Downing, D.O.,M.S.

Kids, Herbs & Health: A Practical Guide to Natural Remedies Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am writing to highly recommend this book, Kids, Herbs, and Health, to parents and health practitioners alike. It is absolutely unique- the first of its kind to address herbal remedies for children in a complete and scientifically sound manner. My perspective is unique because I am a scientist (I hold a Ph.D. degree in Biochemistry), a new Mom, and because I am intensely interested in herbs.
Mavor and White have done an outstanding job of explaining complex health/biochemical issues so that parents can make informed healthcare choices for their children. These topics include, but are not limited to, the pros and cons of antiobiotic use, the advantages and disadvantages of over-the-counter cold medicines, the safety of using herbs for kids, etc. I am impressed by the comprehensive nature of the book. Topics range from herbal treatments for common ailments such as colds, ear infections, sore throats, and colic, to treatments for less frequent problems such as attention deficit disorder, sleep and psychological problems. The herbal remedies the authors' suggest are supported by results from numerous clinical studies. Among herbal medicine guides, the science in this book is outstanding.
As a new Mom, I have found this book incredibly practical and useful. In every chapter there are recommendations for appropriate herbal remedies, as well as symptoms that indicate the child should see a doctor, and a wealth of other helpful information (for example, elevating the head of your child's bed during ear infections). The authors include the soundest advice on nutrition I've seen in books of this nature. I love the recipe for the "immune-building" soup! For the people who would like to be self-sufficient and save money, there are many recipes and instructions for home preparation of the herbal glycerites recommended for various medical conditions (i.e. the "runny-nose glycerite"). I have begun to make many of these glycerites during my son's well-times, so that they'll be ready when the need arises.
The book is easy to read, and, surprisingly for a book packed with so much information, I can sit and read it much like a novel. I appreciate the authors preparing this book. I'm certain it's going to positively impact the health of my child
