Alternative Cures: More than 1,000 of the Most Effective Natural Home Remedies

With all the side effects of chemical based orthodox medicines, i have opted out to using natural organic medicines. This book focuses on natural cure or natural medicine and gives specific guides on remedies to use to handle/cure some ailments. Great book to have at home.

Alternative Cures is the answer to most heath related problems you will every come across. I have owned this book for over two years and will go to it for almost anything from an ear ache to muscle cramps, infections, stomach aches, the flu, head colds, you name it and this book with have the natural cure for it. I have ordered this book for a number of family members with small children because it is safe and gets away from medications that have secondary effects on the body. This is a fantastic book with great results.

Excellent, alas a bit small print for seniors A larger hard-bound edition would be welcome

My husband and I started reading this at our daughters house and enjoyed it so much, had to get one for ourselves.. It's one of the easiest alternative cure books we've read. It's full of great advice that's easy to understand and supplements that are easy to find.. We've tried a few of the alternatives and found them to be very helpful.

I purchased this book as I have so many allergies to both foods and medicines and I prefer to find alternative treatments for health issues. Last year when I needed an antibiotic, I had another reaction to the drugs they gave me so I looked for an alternative treatment and I found one in my own kitchen and it worked very well.

I have tried many alternatives that have worked over the years. Thought this would be a good book to add to my collection. Right now I am trying to work around my gp’s prescription for elevated cholesterol...vitamin E, vitamin C and glutathione! Cholesterol does not cause heart attacks, oxidized cholesterol does...pg 386

This is real information unlike the ads one gets about things. Unlike some who scoff at history and other nations who in some cases have used thee items discussed for centuries without high cost or bad side effects.My doctors often want to learn what I have researched.

a good book for those who want to get rid of some of those various lingering med problems. i gave it 4 stars and not 5 just because of the jargons in the book (e.g. vitamin E for this, vitamin D for that). if you have no idea what foods or home remedies serve these vitamins then you're gonna be annoyed. Good book to have but the not so savvy like myself might want to buy another book to complement, which explains the food groups and their health contents/uses.

Looks a really good book - I think I will be referring to it regularly as I have a number of food intolerances and other problems so hoping this will help.

I am just finishing reading this book. I bought it because I was looking for answers to some health problems me and my husband have but also because I am interested in natural medicine. In this book the author goes around the US and talks to all kinds of alternative health professionals. What you get is a lot of very valuable information and advice. I only didn't give it 5 stars because I wanted to find here alternatives using the spices and herbs you can easily find everywhere, like cayenne pepper, cider vinegar and such. This book is more about supplements but very interesting nevertheless and very much worth reading. As they say on the cover it contains information about more than 1.000 of the most effective natural home remedies. Still, the problem is that many of the supplements discussed in this book are rather expensive, at least here in Europe so if you take a few for a longer period of time it does cost you a lot of money. But you get to understand health problems better and although you don't go and buy everything they talk about you can make an informed choice. At the end there is also a very interesting explanation about what many of the alternative therapies are all about, a guideline for the safe use of the remedies they purpose, where you can go to get the products they talk about (very useful because sometimes you read about something you would like to try but you have no idea where to find it) and a couple of pages which show you the acupressure points in case you want to try the therapies. Even if you don't suffer from anything it is always good to be informed so that you can avoid those ailments. And they do discuss a lot of ailments.... even wrinkles! Other ones which might interest a lot of people are heart and blood pressure problems, Cataracts, Allergies, Menopausal problems, warts, Diabetes... you name it, if you suffer from something the chance is that they discuss it in this book. Another point of interest is the fact that they also point out to you when you should go to the doctor and what to look for when you find yourself a therapist. I liked the fact that they have a preference for natural cures, of course, but that they don't think that they will cure all. There are always problems which require a regular doctor. I will keep at hand as a reference book but now I will also look for one which uses simple home remedies!

It's really a wonderful Book . Full of Information . Every Family should have one book and use it in curing day to day problems .

Without taking merits from this book, I was very disappointed. I was looking for books with real alternative cures found in house hold items and not commercialized drugs or vitamins. This is very thorough in explaining what vitamins and minerals would aid you your healing, but instead of pointing you towards the real nature source, it reccomends store bought vitamin pills for the most part. It is a very good book, just not what I wanted.

okay
