Synopsis

The evidence is in: Herbal and nutritional supplements have the therapeutic power to help treat and prevent disease. But how does someone know which ones to take and in which amounts? The answers can be found in this authoritative reference, which present the best supplements to prevent or heal more than 100 common health problems. Every recommendation in this book has undergone thorough medical review by two respected physicians who specialise in complementary and alternative therapies. In addition to precise dosage instructions, the authors provide vital information on contraindications and potential interactions with medications, foods, and other supplements; examine the science and scepticism behind controversial supplements which as bee pollen, creatine, DHEA, and vitamin E; and warn about conditions for which readers should seek professional medical care before self-treating.
