Customer Review: Prescription for Nutritional Healing 4th Edition
A great book with a wealth of information in it. Every household should have one. I refer to it as the "fat book" because it has 868 pages in it, almost 300 pages more than the 2nd Edition. I highly recommend this book! Buy it!
Customer Review: Invaluable reference book!
I love this book so much that I always try to keep up with the new editions. I've owned about 5 copies of this, and whenever I find someone in a health crisis I end up giving my copy away. It's critical to have in your library. Extremely useful for health issues and has nice info on cleansing and general wellness towards the back of the book. 2 thumbs up!!!
