What Your Doctor Doesn't Know About Nutritional Medicine May Be Killing You
$14.99
This book is phenomenal. We need more MDs reading this book and hopefully changing their view on supplements. The doc who wrote the book was anti supplements until his wife had fibromyalgia so bad that her disease stopped making his life fun. He gave her his blessings to try some supplements. Funny thing is they worked brilliantly. After this, he even went so far and called back some of his sickest patients (with a variety of horrible diseases), put them on supplements. These other people are also doing a lot better too -- some totally better, some very much improved.

I'm a holistic nutrition student and totally believe in a whole food diet (with very limited processed foods) and whole food, preferably from organic foods, supplements. I say if your doc doesn't know about nutrition and doesn't believe in supplements and eating healthy, find a new doc or find a great holistic nutritionist.

Prescription for Nutritional Healing: The A-to-Z Guide to Supplements
$12.95
Since the beginning there were vitamins and minerals. They are natural and they are what your body and brain are made up of. It only makes sense to eat certain types of foods to feel better.

Natural is way better for you than the man made medications that harm your brain and body. Being exposed to harmful chemicals is bad and it seems people don't realize that they are exposing these chemicals to their bodies through medications, water, air, and other methods. People are eating and drinking foods without knowing what's in it and it could be causing them illnesses.

This book is a guide to natural supplements. It goes in detail about each vitamin and mineral. It explains about air and water exposures. This is a book I believe everyone should own. It's time to go back to the natural ways of healing.

Prescription for Nutritional Healing, 4th Edition

The daily intake she recommends for many vitamins/minerals are a little high for my comfort; some easily exceed the Upper Intake Limit by the FDA and other sources I've researched. I started taking Zinc to boost my immune system, and after looking at recommended daily allowances of ZInc in other sources, I've decided to decrease my intake of it to every other day.

That being said, she recommends a lot of great vitamin/herbal supplements that I had never heard of, which I love. The "Conditions" section is huge and is a great reference for almost any disorder. I do, however, find it impractical for someone to take the 30 different pills she recommends for any given ailment every day...

In sum, I dont regret buying the book (herbal/nutritional healing is underestimated/ignored in our modern society) and will use it as a reference, but not a nutritional bible.
