 BOOK-THE PILLBOOK GUIDE TONATURAL MEDICINE March 5, 2010
Joyce M. Preston (FORT ATKINSON, WI, US)
This book is the most exellent source of health information I have ever come across--- WITHOUT PRESCRIPTION DRUG USE WHICH ARE SO FREQUENTLY DANGEROUS!!!
A Terrific Reference Book August 26, 2009
TomP (Canton Mi.)
This book is the best I've ever found for the reference of natural medicines. It covers ailments, the conventional medicines prescribed most often, and the herbal or natural equivalent and its effectiveness and safety rating. I've bought several of these books for friends, and have steered many other people towards it. It should be a must for every bookshelf.

J. Anspach (Tacoma, WA USA)
That about sums this book up. I've referred to it so many times when myself or someone in my family is suffering from a slight case of something or other, but we don't feel like blasting ourselves with over-the-counter medications designed for a slew of other symptoms.
It provides a helpful grading system on how effective and how safe a product is when dealing with a specific illness/symptom. It's just a great book for someone who is interested in supplements & natural remedies but aren't sure where to start. A major upgrade from the kid working at the vitamin store in the mall!

This is a very good book. It tells you a lot more than the pharmacy papers that you receive with your drugs.
Natural Medicines--Pill Book, you've done it again! February 14, 2007

What started as a guide to the prescription medications we take has transformed into a catch-all series of books educating health conscious readers about the benefits of vitamins, herbs, minerals, and other natural medicines. The Pill Book Guide To Natural Medicines, while the information contained therein is not intended to diagnose, treat, prevent, or cure any known diseases, the guide cites the results of double blind scientifically conducted studies (if any) and gives a letter grade to both the efficacy and safety of known vitamins, minerals, nutritional supplements, herbs, and other natural products. As with other Pill Book Guides, the Natural Medicines book is a must-have weapon in the health conscious person's arsenal.
