The Best Thus Far
This is the best book of it's kind I have ever seen. It is so to the point in it's descriptions of symptoms, treatments, and dosages for many common disorders and illnesses. It has an A-Z guide of disorders and an A-Z guide of all the vitamins, minerals, and herbs I have ever wanted to know about. The large, easy-to-read, colorful, glossy pages are great. Everything is easy to find. I own another book in this same category that has almost double the pages and it still does not come close to the information presented in this book. I recommend this book to any and everyone who is looking for the perfect book on natural healing.

Great for the beginner!
I am by no means an expert when it comes to vitamins, at least not until I got this book. It offers a great base knowledge of vitamins, minerals, herbs, and nutritional supplements, while explaining how to take them daily as well as using them to aid in treating common ailments. There are helpful sections that explain how suppliments can benefit you, how to buy suppliments, and how to use them safely and effectively. The chapters involving ailments give detailed information regarding symptoms, what causes the ailment, what supplements may help, and most importantly, when to call a doctor. While the book promotes the useage of supplements to aid in healing, it by no means discourages seeing a doctor. One thing I really liked about this book is that they give a listing of drug interactions. This is very crucial when you take supplements as you don't want them to counteract any prescription or over-the-counter drugs that you may be taking. Overall, this book is well written and easy for the novice to understand. It's a great starting point for all you beginners out there!
