• What the product is for, and how it works • Safety and effectiveness rating • Possible side effects • Drug and food interactions • Usual dosage • Cautions and warnings • Special concerns for seniors, children, and pregnant women
Up-to-date and authoritative, The Pill Book Guide to Natural Medicines also contains Dr. Murray's recommendations for the prevention and treatment of over 70 common conditions, from acne and atherosclerosis to ulcers and varicose veins. Remember, just because a product is “natural” does not mean it is safe. This important reference can help you make wise choices–or even save your health.
Helpful, Helpful, Helpful! That about sums this book up. I've referred to it so many times when myself or someone in my family is suffering from a slight case of something or other, but we don't feel like blasting ourselves with over-the-counter medications designed for a slew of other symptoms.
It provides a helpful grading system on how effective and how safe a product is when dealing with a specific illness/symptom. It's just a great book for someone who is interested in supplements & natural remedies but aren't sure where to start. A major upgrade from the kid working at the vitamin store in the mall!
The Pill Book - Natural Medicines This is a very good book. It tells you a lot more than the pharmacy papers that you receive with your drugs.
Natural Medicines--Pill Book, you've done it again! What started as a guide to the prescription medications we take has transformed into a catch-all series of books educating health conscious readers about the benefits of vitamins, herbs, minerals, and other natural medicines. The Pill Book Guide To Natural Medicines, while the information contained therein is not intended to diagnose, treat, prevent, or cure any known diseases, the guide cites the results of double blind scientifically conducted studies (if any) and gives a letter grade to both the efficacy and safety of known vitamins, minerals, nutritional supplements, herbs, and other natural products. As with other Pill Book Guides, the Natural Medicines book is a must-have weapon in the health conscious person's arsenal.
This is the Pill Book I've been looking for! It answers all the questions I have about the supplements I take or think about taking ... in one book.
The Pill Book Guide to Natural Medicines The book was informative. The set up is a bit busy. It would be easier to find specific information if there were the use of bold type or all captial letters and boxes.
