Keep this on your book shelf!

When one of my books on medicine and herbal remedies doesn't have the answer I'm looking for, I turn to another. Dr. Giller's great, informational book is just one of the many I turn to, and I find it an invaluable resource for my health. He favors vitamin supplements to herbs, although he does prescribe herbs in many cases. Did you know a zinc lozenge can help cure a cold aore and prevent future ones? That Acidophilis can prevent most fungal infections, like dandruff, vaginitis and cold sores? Giller also has a plan that has helped arthritis sufferers have greater mobility and relief from pain without taking aspirin or stronger drugs. A must-read!

This is a great book, mine is quite dog-eared.

I got this book years ago and it was probably one of the first natural remedy-type books I purchased during a time when I was having many sinus, allergy and overall immunity problems due to too many antibiotics. I wanted natural remedies and direction in healthy healing and prevention. I had no idea what to expect and did not know where to start but I was not dissapointed and still refer to this book regularly to this day, even though I have many other books like this and herbal ones too. This book is great for beginners and those who find strictly herbal remedies and prevention a bit overwhelming or confusing at first. Everyone knows about and is familiar with vitamins and this book really lays out which ones help what ailments, along with some herbal and other natural remedies to get you started. I found a wealth of information in "Natural Prescriptions," herbal, vitamin, nutrition and more, such as changing eating habits and other preventive ways to improve one's health and cure many common health complaints. There are remedies and vitamin/herb supplement plans for each ailment in the book, and there are probabably 100 or more, just like the cover says, on just about anything you could want, e.g., IBS, sinuses, allergies, arthritis, yeast infections, migranes, digestive troubles, and so much more I can't even think of them all. This book is so good I recommended it to a couple friends who borrowed my copy to try and they kept it so long I barely got it back! (Then they ran out to get their own.) The authors are easy to understand with no medical jargon or new-agey speak, and there are some short case examples of Dr. Giller's patients throughout the book to give you real-life examples. Try it, it works!

EVERY FAMILY SHOULD KEEP A COPY AT HOME

Best advices and honest opinions are given here. Well written in clear simple language - easy read. Eventhough it was published in 1994, it is still the best book I've seen so far for the treatments and preventions of general diseases. I wish I had it earlier.
