- Reviewed in the United States on April 17, 2022I really like this book and can see myself referring to it for a long time to come. Some drugs that we use just don't really do much and there are natural remedies that are so much better for us. This book helps us to understand the why's about how drugs or remedies work or don't work.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 30, 2017I appreciate and enjoy all of Dr. Brownstein's books. All are helpful. This book covers only a few disease processes, and does so very well, but it is limited to just those ones for the most part. Discussed are cholesterol issues, osteoporosis, antacids, depression, anti-inflammation and HRT. Disease process and what Big Pharma drugs usually prescribed for these diseases are explained in what they do to your body. Other, less damaging interventions are given. If you are taking any drugs for these disorders, this book is well worth your time to read.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 14, 2024The book was recommended by someone in the health profession. It contains a great deal of helpful information.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 24, 2013This book is an very good intro to Big Pharma's recommendations, why and synthetic vs natural medications. Sounds heavy but actually very easy to read and understand.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2024Great alternative remedies.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2016Excellent information that anyone taking a statin drug needs to know and evaluate. The mortality statistics of statin users as opposed to people who didn't take them are less than a 1% difference! This doctor cites the statistics with references to studies. Bet your primary care doctor has never mentioned that one! Heck, I bet they don't know that themselves. Considering the side effects of statin drugs it's sure not worth it to me. My doctor looked me straight in the eye and told me that there was no way to reverse the plaque buildup in our arteries! People used to take niacin, it's cheap and effective but you can't use the "no flush" or slow release type, has to be the kind that will give you the famous niacin flush. Also, research the use of nattokinase and serrapeptase also. Read the reviews for them right here on Amazon, doesn't matter what brand. The only drawback is that your insurance won't cover them--for me it's worth it to pay outright and avoid the pharmaceuticals. It blows my mind how few people bother to investigate the pharmaceuticals that they're taking. This book covers a broad base of common medical conditions but I primarily was interested in avoiding statins. Since reading it, my husband has stopped taking the one he's been on for several years and has joined me in taking the natural supplements suggested by Dr. Brownstein.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 5, 2010This book clearly explains the primary difference between the medical and alternative approaches to certain physical ailments. It identifies the dangers of the medical approach and the benefits of the alternative way of managing certain conditions. It is most striking that this information is presented by an M.D.. I highly recommend this book to anyone who has been struggling to attain better health and not having much success while taking prescription medication.
I purchased a used copy of this book from rsovmo and want to say I highly recommend their services. The condition of this book was as described and it was delivered in a timely manner. The packaging was impeccable and the sender included a personal note thanking me for my business.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2015I personally think we are a people who have forgotten how to have a good life without pills. Since I started taking a real interest in what food can offer and not take medicine that food can replace, I feel great! Lost 38 pounds in just under two months and was shocked! I wasn't even trying to lose, just feel better and get blood pressure and such to a normal level. Both things happened. I enjoy the food I eat now, much more than what my diet was all my life. I sleep better and take pride in myself for following through in studying what is good for me and making the decision to do better. I lecture my friends now and they have made changes too. Their health problems are drastically reduced, and they now want me to teach them more as I read and learn.
