As a student preparing to enter into the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine, the Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine provides a wonderfully interesting, informative and easy-to-reference guide to natural medicines. What I enjoyed most was the fact that this book avoids giving a simple "run-down"... more info

After months of doctor appointments, I was finally diagnosed with Candida. I knew nothing about candidiasis and so I started searching the web for information. I found so much varying information and most of it I didn't trust. When I found this book (...), I knew it was right. This book contains the... more info

(See my review on the PDR for Nutritional Supplements.) This has much of the same information as "The New Encyclopedia of Vitamins, Minerals, Supplements, and Herbs" by Nicola Reavley (1998 - a newer book). I used these books to look up a list of herbal remedies for a weight loss program, and sadly... more info

I have read the critical reviews of this textbook and I disagree with them. As a naturopathic physician and educator, I have found this textbook to be an indispensible learning tool for anyone serious about understanding natural medicine. A work of this magnitude is bound to have imprefections. The... more info

I am a student interested in becoming an EMT. I know the people at the local fire station so I asked them for a resource book and they gave me a 6th edition of this manual and it is proving to be an excellent resource. It has many pictures and at the beginning of each chapter, it gives a real life... more info

This is an excellent juicing and nutritional resource. I have learned so much about the value of certain foods that I didn't know before. I have been juicing for four weeks now and I feel so much better, have more energy, lost weight,and my appetite is reduced so I wouldn't miss a day of... more info

The author provides very detailed protocols for treating cancer
with natural substances. For instance, he recommends 100 mg. of polyerga for treating colon, breast and certain carcinomas.
Citrus pectin is cited for metastasis of breast, lung and melanomas. Protective fibers may be emulated by... more info
Customer Review:
The view of orthodox medicine is that one is well if one is not overtly sick. However, in truth, most Americans who are not overtly sick are not really healthy -- they're just not overtly sick for the time being. Over the past few decades a new paradigm has developed whose goal is the prevention of... more info
Customer Review:
I am so happy with this book. The information in it is well organized. The reccommended treatments include the scientific data/studies that support the modality. This is the best written handbook of natural health that I have found.
Customer Review:
In general, I avoid the "diet and supplement" solutions to all health problems. Not that I don't believe that diet and dietary supplements don't work - rather, that I don't have the tools to tell the crackpots from the serious researchers. This book caught my attention for several reasons:

I am a Natural Products Chemist and Cancer Researcher. I wanted a book on Herbal Remedies to share with my friends and family containing a synopsis based on the facts without the media-babble. This is an excellent book. It is not an exhaustive work but contains many entry point references to the... more info
Customer Review:
Dr. Murray really has written a "whole body" book. By coming from the naturopathic viewpoint, he has made achieving and maintaining optimum health an obtainable goal without a lot of side-effect inducing prescriptions. He does not just list a series of steps to follow, but makes the reader a... more info

This is the worst book about Chronic Fatigue Syndrome that I have ever read! His suggestions to exercise show clearly that he NO understanding of CFS/CFIDS! Yes, exercise will help many people with fatigue, even chronic fatigue; but not Chronic Fatigue SYNDROME. For someone with true CFS (also known... more info

I am 40 and suffer from ankylosing sponditis (a form of rheumatoid arthritis) and before I found Dr Murray my back pain was intolerable to the degree I seriously wondered if I would ever have a pain free life again. Dark thoughts entered my head and I grew despondent. Then I found this book in a... more info

As a hypoglycemic, I am trying to find out what I can do to keep my blood sugar level. Dr. Murray provides the reader with more suggestions than just eating right and exercising. The addition of supplements is very helpful. He also educates on the connection between hypoglycemia and diabetes. This... more info
Customer Review:
Dr. Murray "strongly recommends" seeing a chiropractor for migraines. I am a 41 year old otherwise healthy woman who saw a chiropractor for a migraine and ended up with a stroke (caused by a dissection of the vertebral artery). Do some research on this on the internet, and you will see that this is... more info
Customer Review:
This book is loaded with tons of useful, easy to understand information. It will really help you understand the workings of your body-mind on a much deeper level. Murray is very adept at explaining how nutrition, herbs and vitamins can change the way we feel and think.
Customer Review:
This book changes from old days style around botanicals to a new century scientific point of view. No pink words. Just science. I hope they will grow it into two volumes for the next year edition. ?Congratulations Mr. Werbach and Mr. Murray!
