Pharm review
There are several excellent texts to search for information on alternativetherapies and herbal preparations.Of course, the German Council books arethe "bible", and I would generally default to the informationgathered there.However, this text and the "Professional's Guide toAlternative Therapies" are both good, useful guides for someone with asolid grounding in pharmacological principals.Read more

Informative, yet easy for the non-science person to grasp.
This book provides a very good over-view of the benefits of Chlorella as a nutritional supplement.The authors, a pharmacist and a doctor, have written a well documented summary on the health and healing effects of Chlorella that is both informative yet easy enough for us non-sciencemajors and minors to read and understand.On the downside, the book waswritten in 1987.I'm sure that further research is now available.I'dlove to see un update. ...

Concise information
Mr. Mindell continues to provide the reader with concise, accurate information regarding the usage of vitamins for health reasons. Lots of good information, though hard to find
Since my wife & I found this book, it has been THE reference source for vitamins and minerals. The organization isn't the greatest at times; it's not easy, for example, to look up "potassium" and findeverything you want to know in one spot. However, the comprehensive indexwill make up for that. I've already ordered the "21st Century"update edition.

Sweet Sleep now
I am grateful for Dr. Mindell and his great Vitamin Bible.I would find myself sleeping less and less and becoming more and more fatigued.I twas Dr Mindell" suggestion in this book that showed me the light inthe darkness (pun not intended).By following his sugggestions I am now asweet sleeper. I am delightfully suprised to learn that Dr. Mindell is nowpersonally formulating a vitamins supplements line exclusively for onecompany.

Evidence not clear-cut as Cooper makes it out to be
This book discusses ways to reduce the free radical damage that is thought to lead cancer and heart disease. Cooper presents ways to do so through exercise, diet, and supplements. And it the supplements part that is the most controversial of this book. New Recommendations Supplant the Info in this Book
This book is good in its underlying theme -- take antioxidants b-carotene, vit C, vit E to counter free radical damage -- but, evidently, its specific recommendations are outdated.Two sets of antioxidant dosages arerecommended, a small dose for "health and longevity" exercisers,and a large dose for "athletic" exercisers, where the dividingline between types of exercisers is 50 aerobics points per week.DrCooper's latest recommendations, which can be found at cooperwellness.com,change the small and large dosages, and the dividing line has been changedto 150 aerobics points per week.

A Word to the Wise . . .
For years, I've been a big fan and follower of Dr. Cooper'saerobic exercise program. Nevertheless, I'll advise caution beforeundertaking Dr.Cooper's prescription for anti-oxidantsupplements. Dr. Cooper's recommendations for Vitamins C and E and beta-carotene are remarkably similar to those criticized as being without scientific foundation by a recent (April, 2000) Institute of Medicine Report.Read more
