[.ca] Prescription For Nutritional Healing The A To Z Guide To ... (ISBN 1583331433)

Change your lifestyle:
This book is a good starting point for living an organic, non-toxic lifestyle. It can be the start of a healthy journey for the rest of your life. You'll get advice on designing and living a life that minimizes the onset of some illnesses that seemingly require only pharmaceuticals. Even if you already have an illness, some simple lifestyle changes may be all it takes to reverse the condition; that's how powerful healthy habits are. Prevention and healthy maintenance is the cure of all cures. Another great book that I highly recommend is Natural cures, also by Balch. Or if you want to add to the bundle another author's point of view the best option would be "Cure the Incurable" by Mikhail T.

Prescription for Nutritional Healing by Joseph S. Maresca:
This work is a superior rendition on specific modalities which relates vitamins and nutrients to specific disease processes. The beauty of the work is that specific dosages are quoted in daily milligrams or international units. Nutrients are ranked from essential to important to helpful. There is good coverage of the various antioxidants i.e. the ACES-Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin E and Selenium The book provides detailed recommendations and helpful considerations on virtually every disease process. The author provides a list of Health and Medical Organizations throughout the USA, as well as a list of important manufacturers and distributors of vitamins, minerals and other supplements. This book is a good supplement to your existing vitamin and nutrient regimen. In addition, it's a good literature source to provide background information so that you can interface intelligently with your own physicians and local medical providers.The book is valuable in handling common health problems; such as, osteoporosis, allergies, infectious diseases and the more elusive cancers. The work is a worthy investment for any personal library.

Thorough reference work:
This useful guide provides basic information on a wide range of nutritional supplements, incorporating cutting edge findings in the fields of nutrition and supplementation. This updated edition includes information on newer supplements and herbal remedies like MSM, IP6, colostrum, olive leaf extract and saw palmetto. In Chapter One: Nutrition, Diet and Wellness, the author provides the basics of nutrition, from the 4 basic nutrients to the micronutrients plus guidelines for selecting and preparing foods. This section includes an interesting article on phytochemicals (biologically active substances in plants that give them their color and flavour). The chapters that follow provides an overview of vitamins, minerals, amino acids and water, explaining their functions in the body and then providing a detailed discussion of the individual vitamins, minerals and amino acids. The chapter on water discusses various types like tap, artesian, bottled, sparkling, distilled and natural spring water. The chapter on anti-oxidants looks at a wide spectrum of substances, from Alpha-Lipoic Acid to Zinc. The next chapter deals with enzymes, their role in the body and how they interact with foods. This includes a list of commercially available digestive enzymes. Natural Food Supplements are discussed in detail, from Acidophilus to Yeast; this section includes entries on SAMe, Phosphatidylserine, MSM, Melatonin, Glucosamine, DHEA, CoQ10, Colloidal Silver, Creatine and Pregnenolone, providing the latest information. The last chapter is devoted to herbs, including essential oils, extracts, teas, tinctures and wines. Here one can find information on anything from Acerola to Yucca, divided into the parts of the plant that is used, its phytochemical and nutrient content, its actions and uses and further comments on the plant. The valuable and handy guide concludes with a thorough index. Another excellent guide to supplements is Earl Mindell's Supplement Bible. For a more thorough treatment of nutritional healing, I recommend James and Phyllis Balch's extensive work Prescription For Nutritional Healing.
