Decent but needs updating
A good book on overall health issues, this books serves as a guide to health-related issues specific to women.It needs however updating, as some of the material is outdated or lacking recent findings, particularly relating to menopause and hormonal replacement therapy and heart disease.

Easy To Understand!
I'm glad I have this book.I like to know myself what I need to do if something goes wrong.This book is easy to understand.They put everything in terms you can understand.Every woman needs this book.Only you know what's really wrong with you.Doctor's can't fix everything.

EASY READING
Lots of information that the average person can understand, without the confusion of medical terminology. Easy to read the entire book or just pick out areas of interest. ... Read more

Four Seasons Cookbook
Healthy cooking is not easy.This book really helped in choosing the right combination in different seasons, for different people.There are 240 recipes and each of them includes breakfast, lunch dinner and snack. Helpful notes were listed at the side column of each page like NutritionNotes, Kitchen Hints, Nutreient Bonus and Healthy tip of the day.Inparticular, the menus were separated into 3 parts for different caloriesrequired: 1500calories, 2000calories and 2500calories.Fat per gram werecalculated as well.Seasonal foods and vegetables were used in ingredientsand recipes were easy to make and follow...I do recommend this book indaily food planning. ...

Sue's review
The book is fantastic however, I would loved to have found it in hard cover and bigger print (which hard cover would have been). If there is one out there please send me an e-mail.
Many great approaches!
I already owned 2 great books: "Prescription for Nutritional Healing ..." by James F., Md. Balch, Phyllis A. Balch and Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine, by Michael T. Murray et al. I Found the translation ofGottlieb's book in Farsi for my mom in Westwood California.I was amazedby the variety of different info/techniques offered.From Herbs toAromatherapy, from water therapy to cognitive therapy, from Yoga toAccupressure with pressure point charts.It sold for $18 and I thought itwas well worth it.The 800 pages still can not delve too deeply into everything.For example, 20 or 30 pictures in Yoga poses can only be a quickreview of the most important moves, but it is a very nice intro for peoplewho need to take the first step into better nutrition and healthy thinking. I am still amazed that this book has not gotten the attention it deservesin this country when books by John Gray sell like hot cookies.My mom iswho had blood pressures and did not yet believe too much in alternativemedicine ( with a triple-board son) is hooked on this book.

good overall intro: Covers many areas with helpful sketches

Good for reference but not bible....
This book discusses each herb by what ailment it can help. From aches and pains, insomnia, and yeast infections; this book lists remedies to over 100 problems. Each herb summary is easy to read and lists the type, dosage, other healing effects, how long it takes etc. It even gives you recipes and information on making your own remedies. There is also a neat section on pet herbal remedies. The only thing that concerned me is that there wasn't alot mention of how the herbs might interact with other herbs or prescriptions you maybe taking. Myself taking an anti-depressant, I know that it is not reccommended taking St. John's Wort. All it says is to check with your doctor as you would any drug. Overall it was a good reference book, but as I have said before never get all your information from one book. ... Read more
