Smart Medicine for Healthier Living : Practical A-Z Reference to Natural and Conventional Treatments for Adults Paperback – June 1, 1999

Love this book! It has helped me already to find holistic herbs to heal. Great book. This is how medications first started..they all came from herbs. This is such a wonderful healthy alternative to medications. I would rather get to "the root" of my ilness and heal it..than cover it up for a little bit and have it come back. This book is easy to understand and to apply.

I hate to even say how helpful this book is!Since I am an RN people call me for suggestions with cold sores, insect bites, stomach virus, sinus congestion, etc. I just pull out "Smart Medicine" and have a variety of suggestions on things that work well. A family member was having prostate problems and the doctor prescribed medication that caused heart palpatations as a side effect. The second type of medicine prescribed also caused irregular heart beat. "Smart Medicine" suggested Sal Palmetto which is a natural herb and has worked well without the side effects. Also the information on warts has been very effective. I keep an extra copy or two on hand to give to friends and relatives because "Smart Medicine" is like having a friend with just the right advice close by.

I am currently on my second copy of this book. My first one literally fell apart from so much use! This is a great resource for looking at different treatment options for a wide range of health issues. Among the different treatment methods are: conventional medicine, homeopathy, herbal remedies, acupressure, nutritional suggestions, and general recommendations. I have used this book time and again to put together successful treatment plans for my family and myself, using a combination of the methods provided. I have gifted this book to friends, and I also highly recommend this author's companion book, "Smart Medicine for a Healthier Child". It is similarly structured as this book, but the information is tailored for little ones where necessary, like dosage amount.

My dog found my Amazon box and decided to open it and rip the cover off and rip a few pages about Alzheimer’s 🤣 but other than my dog trying to eat the book, it’s in perfect condition and a great resource.

Great reference to have around. Not completely comprehensive, but has lots in it.

Fantastic information & thorough. I love how it reviews every condition with multiple types of treatment modalities. Every single person needs this book on their shelf! No joke.

If you are going to buy only one book on health, it has to be this one. This book is very complete and easy to use. This book explains conventional and natural treatments and has a wide list of common problems or illnesses. First they describe the problem thoroughly and then describe the treatments for it, it allows you to compare the conventional and natural treatments and decide what's best for you. I am very interested in health issues and disease prevention and I read a lot about it, I have bought various books on the subject and this one is by far my favorite!!!

Every single family should own this book. Take control of your health and do your own research rather than just believing what other people/doctors tell you to do. This book gives you advice from ALL perspectives....so you can make an educated decision on how to handle your issues. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
