Customer Reviews

A real compilation of information

This is the first really good book on the subject that I have seen which supplies both a disease based guide and a supplement by supplement guide as well. The author has made it easy to use for patients as well as heath care providers. We keep a cpoy in our physician office waiting room for patient reference. A true must for anyone interested in alternative health care options.

Best Reader friendly book on the use of supplements

This is a wonderful comprehensive book with sensible information based on medical research , presented in a reader friendly format..

Cut through the BS and get some help

This book is so helpful in cutting through the BS around supplements and giving you the information you need to find just the right thing. I get so sick of the fake vitamins, the ridiculous claims, the marketing hype. "Solve it..." gives me the information I wanted to easily find the right supplement.

Fair, Balanced, and Fun!

Herbs and other dietary supplements are widely used throughout the United States as complementary or alternative therapies. Almost half of patients use alternative therapies for chronic medical conditions in conjunction with over-the-counter and prescription medication. However, only 50% patients discuss the use of alternative therapies with their physicians. Thus, this work serves (in my opinion) a purpose beyond the obvious; that is, to narrow the knowledge gap that exists between physicians and patients by providing accurate, scientifically verifiable content that's both reader-friendly and useful. Dr. Schulman inspires patients (throughout his book) to learn about the interaction between mind and body while utilizing a scientific approach to educate the public on the use of alternative/complementary therapies in the healing process. "Solve It With Supplements" provides a thorough review of not only the use of phytonutrient products in practice but also the basic science behind them (without being overly technical). He even throws in a little trivia to spice it up!

Wonderful reference book

This is a wonderful reference book for anyone interested in knowing what herbs and supplements to have in the house, and how to use them on both a daily basis and for specific ailments. The book is thorough, but not too techinical or complicated. The information presented appears up to date, and I hope that the authors will continue to update the material.
