 A Great Resource October 30, 2009
apoem (Bosque Farms, NM USA)
This book is an excellent resource for families.
The book covers an array of problems from stomach ailments to acne to depression - it describes the problem very clearly in laymen terms and then it provides an array of natural cures. It might have a list of food that will help the problem (Such as yams for menopause) and it might have a list of herbs and vitamins. Most often it covers all three diet, herbs and vitamins.
This is the first thing I turn to when my family gets sick. Often times I save myself a visit to the dr's office just be using the natural cures suggested in this book.
Enjoy.

About a decade ago, I suffered from acute back pain and foot pain, and a friend recommended a homeopathic doctor. Since then, my back pain has diminished to the point where it no longer interferes with my daily activities. This book is a great resource on natural remedies for those who are tired of the traditional methods of treatment using prescription drugs or who would like a broader perspective on the available alternative treatments.
The book is divided into two main parts:
Part One details a list of conditions and provides description of the conditions, symptoms, root causes, testing techniques, & treatment.
Part Two details the essentials of natural medicine, which includes:
Diet and Nutrition
Fasting
Nutritional Supplements
Herbal Medicine
Homeopathy
Bach Flower Remedies
Aromatherapy
Traditional Chinese Medicine [Acupuncture & Acupressure]
Hyhrotherapy
Natural Hormones
Bodywork
Exercise and Stress Reduction
Part Three is the Apppendix
There is a detailed index at the back of the book.
Conclusion - great resource on natural cures which is comprehensive and informative.

This book is very comprehensive. The reader is given information regarding several health conditions and a wide range of alternative treatment options that they themselves can implement to improve their quality of life. Furthermore, there is supporting research for several of the treatments suggested and the possible risk factors. There is also detailed nutritional information and a look at the whole person in relation to achieving good health. In addition the format and layout is reader friendly. Its an excellent book.
 Not trustworthy information May 1, 2009

I bought this book based on multiple positive reviews on Amazon. I am not sure what motivated people who wrote them. Most likely it is ignorance and inability to distinguish real science from quackery. This book does have some useful general information about common health conditions. But this type of information is available for free on multiple health related websites: Mayo clinic website, WebMD and others. A lot of proposed treatments are the same for most conditions: don't eat a lot of sugar and take vitamins A, B, C, E. Some of the proposed treatments are out rite quackery: chelation therapy for example. I would not recommend buying this book.
Good reference book for common ailments January 9, 2009

I bought this book for my father for a Christmas gift and was pleasantly surprised by the content. My mom opened and wrapped the book and later told me that she read the book that night for over an hour. I got to read it Christmas day and spent at least an hour with it!
For me, the highlight of Prescription for Natural Cures is that it not only offers several types of alternative and home remedies, but it also has a great homeopathic section for each and every ailment. This is not just any info, it seems to be based on the official Materia Medica guide -- only this book is much easier to look up specific ailments! I believe it's easy enough to understand that even a person in the early stages of learning about homeopathy could use it as a basic guide for self treatment. (I would still recommend the novice learn about homeopathy from a more comprehensive source.)
I definitely plan to order one for myself as it seems like a VERY handy book to add to my collection. It will be an especially good reference to cross check with my other homeopathic books.
