A wonderful guide. Not preachy. Gives you a sense of how effective and/or risky the
recommended remedies are. Lots of footnotes to scholarly articles, if you want to read
more about a particular condition or remedy. Covers vitamins, herbs & homeopathy. If
you don't know your lysine from your licorice, or you have a medical condition that isn't
responding to anything, this is a great place to look.
