Product Description
Natural health's number-one bestseller for more than twenty years, completely revised and updated. With more than five million copies sold, Prescription for Nutritional Healing is the most trusted, comprehensive source on dietary supplements, vitamins, minerals, and herbs. A pioneer in the field of nutritional healing, Phyllis Balch passionately and meticulously researched and compiled this groundbreaking book. Now, a generation later, her message has more relevance than ever: consume fresh foods, avoid processed foods and those high in saturated fat, and optimize your intake of essential nutrients with the right supplements. Today's well-stocked vitamin and natural-health stores can be confusing, and people need Balch's clear, concise, landmark guide. To help them make sense of the mind-numbing array of choices that are available, readers of Prescription for Nutritional Healing will: - learn the basics of good nutrition; - find out how to balance vitamins and minerals so that the body can properly absorb both; - determine how best to treat 250 problems-from abscesses to wrinkles-using herbs, nutrition, and supplements; and - get the facts on other complementary therapies, like ayurveda, biofeedback, chiropractic care, and more. Prescription for Nutritional Healing is an essential resource for every health-minded consumer.

Her daily recommendations are a little scary... by Andrea Alabastro (Palo Alto, Ca) 3 Stars
November 04, 2009
The daily intake she recommends for many vitamins/minerals are a little high for my comfort; some easily exceed the Upper Intake Limit by the FDA and other sources I've researched. I started taking Zinc to boost my immune system, and after looking at recommended daily allowances of ZInc in other sources, I've decided to decrease my intake of it to every other day. That being said, she recommends a lot of great vitamin/herbal supplements that I had never heard of, which I love. The "Conditions" section is huge and is a great reference for almost any disorder. I do, however, find it impractical for someone to take the 30 different pills she recommends for any given ailment every day... In sum, I dont regret buying the book (herbal/nutritional healing is underestimated/ignored in our modern society) and will use it as a reference, but not a nutritional bible.

the book was listed as new, it was not what i expected. It should have been listed as fair.

Whew, what a Book! by Trosh (Salem, OR) 4 Stars
October 10, 2009
Not much I can add to the good qualities others have given. It is a huge, exhausive and definitive book. No, every detail can't be accurate. I don't know any nutritional book that is. Accuracy, current research and distorted research are all hard to keep track of. However, this has done a very good job of it! If it is too much, the Natural Health Bible is a very good,easier alternative to use. Thumbs up.

Fantastic Reference by A. Engel (NY) 5 Stars

I have just updated my version of the "Prescriptions for Nutrituional Healing" to this 4th addition and I am so happy with it! This series has been my 'health bible' for years! And since my children have grown up they each have a copy also......great reference for so many health questions!!
