I WAS SO DISAPPOINTED IN THIS BOOK AND HER OTHER ONE
Rating: 
i was very bummed out with her views. i ended up ordering both of her books. very complicated to find the info. that you need. i feel that she's more into 'hawking' organic solutions and alot of expensive supplementa. and it's almost like a puzzle with owning both of their books. they'll refer you to pgs. in the other book. i take alot of prescriptions and had to make sure that what she was telling us to take, was #1. ok to mix together. and #2.) the vitamins and supplement that she suggests are a sm. fortune to purchase. and her DOCTOR hubby is a chiropractor. my brother is a trauma surgeon and has been for many yrs. in tx. HIS JOB IS STRESSFUL BUT HE LOVES IT. i hardly think that they're too stressed out except selling their books and their theories. BAA HUMM BUGG
Drugs are not always necessary
Rating:
This book is very interesting and also educational,written by a pharmacist,she tells about some alternative things you can do for a medical problem that are not drugs.Also just tips you can do to keep yourself healthy,and the drug muggers-drugs that cause problems in your body. My daughter liked it so much, that I got one for her.She covers subjects from menopause to insomnia to osteoporosis to snoring and others.Obviously I love this book!! Joy B.
"Think outside the pill . . . "
Rating:
Anybody ever have a side effect from taking meds? For years I took theophyllin for asthma, until I self-diagnosed that this medicine was the cause of my rising blood pressure. My doctor at the time told me I would have to take it for the rest of my life, which probably would have been pretty short if I'd listened only to him. Instead, I researched the side effects of the drug, and sought out the opinion of another doctor. Today I am totally off it, and doin' just fine . . . no wheezing or other breathing difficulties, and my blood pressure, while still higher than what I want it to be, is 40 points lower without taking medication to lower it.
Suzy is a pharmacist who tells us to "think outside the pill," and gives us the knowledge needed to accomplish that goal. She tells us about plant extracts, vitamins, herbs, aromatherapy, and supplements. Her expose on osteoporosis (another of my hereditary risks) is the best I've seen. I didn't really care for Kevin Trudeau's book on natural cures, which totally bashed traditional medicine. However, through my career as a healthcare recruiter, I have seen the pharmaceutical reps toting in food and other treats to physician practices and ancillary hospital departments. They are not doing this to be nice, but to encourage the staff to pedal the drugs they sell. So Kevin's right about that. Suzy's book, however, give us the best of both worlds . . . natural cures and traditional medicine, and any holistic physician will tell you there's a time for both. Suzy shares her vast knowledge of natural cures and medicine, backing it up with well-reputed studies. If you're looking for solutions in a pill, this isn't the book for you. But if you like to manage your own health, with the help of well-educated professionals, this is a resource you shouldn't be without. Buy it, read it, and age well!
Health away from RX
Rating:
This book is a plus for anyone seeking to live a healthy lifestyle, minus the onslaught by the Rx industry pushing drugs. It has many helpful tips from a Professional Pharmacist who seeks other means to bring about health and healing.
A Wonderful Reference Book for every home
Rating:
This book answers so many of the questions you would like to ask about maintaining your health. These are questions about managing your daily aches and pains, sniffles and coughs and other ailments that drag you down. If you ever wished you could have possible solutions to these problems, -literally at your fingertips, - then this book is for you.
And if you are taking prescription medications,- there is a whole section in the book about how some prescription drugs may deplete important vitamins and other necessary substances in your body. The author not only warns you about these possible drug side effects, she also takes it one step further - and suggests ways you can counteract these effects by using 'over the counter' herbs and vitamins from your local drug or health food store. I wish I had this book years ago.
