I have depended on an earlier edition for its excellent nutritional advice. This copy was purchased as a gift for my daughter.

I began my relationship with the first edition [1990] and have continued with Editions #2, #3 and now #4... You don't have to be medically trained to recognize your symptoms of a headache and to take an aspirin for relief. The same for the ailments that you experience in your journey through life. Not only will this book help you possibly pinpoint your issues, but will also give you information that will help you have a better understanding as to what is happening to your body, suggestions of how to safely combat those issues and, if necessary, to have an intelligent conversation with your doctor. I can assure you that your doctor will NOT be a fountain of information; only to diagnose and prescribe pharmaceuticals to treat.....notice, I didn't say 'cure'.... [IMHO]pharmaceuticals don't cure, they just make you a dependant junkie for life; pharmaceuticals disguise your discomfort for time, then it's time to administer the pharmaceutical once again, then again, then again.... If ever, or whatever, reactions you may experience with Vitamins/Minerals/Herbs, they won't be as catastrophic as the Pharmaceuticals.....

I love Prescription for Nutritional Healing and mine is used so much it's falling apart. I thought I should get the latest and Edition 4 is what came up. I noticed many reviews were from 2008, so thought there must be another edition. Sure enough, edition 5 is available for preorder NOW, coming out in October. I'm hoping this edition will make sense out of some of the inconsistencies and reflect new info we have now on many of the old products, besides the new discoveries. Can't wait to receive mine!

PMO (OK)
Reviewing a product of this nature, I first check the credentials of the author(s). No problem here. He is a medical doctor, and his co-author wife is a certified nutritionist. Appropriate credentials for the subject in question. As an overview, the book details the treatment of ailments from A-Z by the use of herbs and such. It is well written, well organized, and thorough. The first part explains the concept of nutrients, enzymes, amino acids, proteins, among others, and is tutorial in nature. The mid section covers a myriad of alphabatized ailments explained along with the recommended herbs for treatment and is primarily a look up reference when needed. The final section covers remedies, presumably originating from folk lore. I am aware that many medicines originate from plants (including herbs); however, I also realize that many of the healing herbs are medicines in their own right, can have unpredictable and dangerous side effects, and their purity, potency, and prescribed use are not regulated like pharmaceuticals. The phrase "The layman who is his own doctor, has a fool for a patient" comes to mind, and for that reason I gave this title 4 stars in fear that a less critical reader may blindly follow the recommendations without due consideration of the possible consequences. I do believe that at least one of these herbs can cause severe and irreversible liver damage if used improperly. Far from a physician, I may be tempted to try such recommendations if a situation arose, but even then I would proceed with CAUTION. I still recommend the book for the tutorial on nutrition, the explanations of how the organs function, their various ailments and possible causes and it will remain on my book shelf. Hope this has been helpful and not over-reviewed.
