Customer Review: Helpful, Helpful, Helpful!
That about sums this book up. I've referred to it so many times when myself or someone in my family is suffering from a slight case of something or other, but we don't feel like blasting ourselves with over-the-counter medications designed for a slew of other symptoms.
It provides a helpful grading system on how effective and how safe a product is when dealing with a specific illness/symptom. It's just a great book for someone who is interested in supplements & natural remedies but aren't sure where to start. A major upgrade from the kid working at the vitamin store in the mall!
Customer Review: The Pill Book - Natural Medicines
This is a very good book. It tells you a lot more than the pharmacy papers that you receive with your drugs.
