The Bible for Supplements
This book is the best "bible" of supplements for the layman who wants to make informed choices. An excellent introduction to vitamins, minerals, and health.
Recently the American Medical Association has reversed its previous position and publicly acknowledged that Americans do not get enough vitamins and minerals from our food and need supplementation. Dr. Michael Janson has been well ahead of the AMA and has known and advocated this position for years. In this excellent book Dr. Janson discusses the role of vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients in human health and discusses each important nutrient in detail -- including valuable and detailed information about both food sources and nutrient supplements. If you read this book and follow Dr. Janson's advice you will almost certainly become healthier and may well also live longer and in good health. As a research chemist who is well acquainted with Dr. Janson and his understandable, common-sense approach to nutrition and health, I highly recommend this book.

Excellent summary and presentation of alternatives.
I haven't read the latest edition, but the one written in the 70's I still use to this day.I like how she recommends alternatives to supplementation not necessarily in pill form. ... Read more

A Good Resource Book
This book does a great job of describing vitamins and minerals the body requires in a simple and straightforward manner.The author provides information such as what each vitamin/mineral does, how much is good/bad, what kind of foods you can find it in, and what you should know about each type of supplement. The author also offers a few simple, nutritious recipes. The author, who is also a pharmacist, provides insightful information on the types of drugs mothers-to-be should avoid or not use excessively, a list of drugs that pass through a nursing mother's milk, and medicines that can deplete vitamins.My only concern is on how uptodate this information is....its copyrighted 1992 and the fourth printing was May 1997. ...

Read this book carefully
I rate this book even higher than Eyal because I have followed Dr. Newbold's precepts since I read an earlier book he wrote about vitamin C against cancer and I have not required the services of a dr. since then (ten years). His Type A/B Diet book really works! People I know have lost 100's of pounds of ugly fat while eating as much (of the right food) as they want. I urge anyone who eats to insist that the quality of their food be improved immediately! That way all beef will be organically grown and no bovine vegetarian (cow) will ever be fed meat again. Cows should eat grass and seeds, not animal by-products. Eyal raises a good point: be sure to take your calcium supplements. Most people are deficient. Our ancestors ate the bones of animals, something we no longer do, so we need to take powders or pills. Acids are neutralized by calcium creating salts that are useful in the human system. No calcium leads to unreacted acids, a bad thing. Read Dr. Newbold's books at the library as most of them are out of print. Bon sante! Dr. Pangloss [a fictional character, q.v.]

a very good book
the book is showing the allergy causing (thypicaly american diet) and what are the dangers of it and an anti allergy diet, sow you could know whatcause you, brain-allergy that comes in many forms such as hypoglicemia,agressivness anger tuntrums and much more.the section on food allergies isjust extraordinary, although the author is using and recommands a lot ofmeat,(wich includes a lot of archaedonic acid) wich in excess could causehormonal disbalance and calcium deprevation even if the meat is organicalygrown. in general it is a recommanded book for everyone. ...

A poorly edited book makes for a difficult read.
While the information in this book may be valuable, the poor arrangement of information and almost non-existent editing make it a difficult read.This undermines the potential validity of the information the author is trying to get across.I am left wondering if I can trust the message,given the poor quality of its packaging. Absolutely the best book on hypertension for the layperson
Braverman has done a real service to the millions of Americans being hurt by blood pressure drugs. He correctly points out that, while they do lower blood pressure, the side effects end up INCREASING mortality. Braverman gives good practical alternatives including nutrition, vitamins, and life style changes. He tries to be fair to the heart drugs and points out that the calcium channel blockers are the safest drugs and probably OK. Well, since he published in 1996, studies have shown that some of these drugs double your risk of cancer and increase the rate of heart attacks.Mark Kroll, PhD, FACC ... Read more
