Prescription for Nutritional Healing by nutritionist Phyllis A. Balch and James F. Balch, M.D., has long been considered one of the most trusted, comprehensive sources on the mind-boggling array of vitamins, minerals, herbs, and other dietary supplements now available. Working from the premise that a good diet promotes good health, this third edition of PNH still starts with the basics: consume fresh produce, grains, and lean meats, avoid foods that are processed or high in saturated fat, cook using glass, stainless steel, or iron--never aluminum, and drink filtered water. The authors also stand by their claim that the government-prescribed recommended daily allowances are ridiculously low, and that the book s optimal daily intake for nutrients should be followed instead. So what s new in the third edition? Along with now-accepted remedies, like zinc and echinacea for the common cold, the Balches also explore many of the newer supplements to hit the market: SAMe (recommended for depre...

#Comprehensive (2008-11-07) With over five million copies sold, this book is one of the most read texts on nutritional health. I say text because it measures in at a good inch and three-quarters thick. Written by a certified nutritionist and a bona-fide MD, it is neatly divided up into three parts. Part I, a quarter-inch thick discusses the basic principles of health and nutrition. This section lists and explains the various kinds of nutrients and food supplements. Part II, by far the biggest section of the book measuring in at an inch and a quarter, provides the reader with an A-Z...

You will also learn a lot about your body from this book as it is written in an easy to understand format.

#The only book you ll really need (2004-05-21) If you buy only one reference book this should be it. Practical information on vitamins and minerals, recommended dosage, and deficiencies. As well as valuable information on nutrition and the role it plays in our overall well-being. I just recently purchased the third edition, and my 75 year old Mom was happy to take my tattered second edition off my hands. It s a must have reference item for everyone on your gift list.

Hands of Light: A Guide to Healing Through the Human Energy Field, by Barbara Ann Brennan, is a scientist s look at the field of bioenergetic healing--offering specific techniques towards expanding perceptual tools of healing, seeing auras, understanding psychodynamics and the human energy field, and spiritual healing.
