Book Reviews of Natural Health, Natural Medicine: The Complete Guide to Wellness and Self-Care for Optimum Health
Book Review: thank heavens I read this book
Summary: 5 Stars
I was on a very popular diet suggested to me by my doctor. I was in the first (low carb) part of the diet and I was becoming very weak and tired and sick. I went on the second part of the diet and I still felt bad. I read this book and I realized that I was still eating far too much protein. I immmediately switched to Dr. Weil's suggestion that most of the diet should be low to medium glycemic carbs and 4 oz. of protein per day(among other foods)and I perked up and actually ate less food and enjoyed it so much more. This Dr. is so loving and moderate. He may have prevented a bad outcome with me.Please be careful with low carb diets people-I was so sick.This book is a treasure and I want to eventually get more of this wonderful man's books.

Summary of Natural Health, Natural Medicine: The Complete Guide to Wellness and Self-Care for Optimum Health
The bible of natural medicine--(Larry Dossey, M.D.), Natural Health, Natural Medicine is a comprehensive resource for everything you need to know to maintain optimum health and treat common ailments. This landmark book incorporates Dr. Weil's theories of preventive health maintenance and alternative healing into one extremely useful and readable reference, featuring general diet and nutrition information as well as simple recipes, answers to readers' most pressing questions, a catalogue of home remedies, invaluable resources, and hundreds of practical tips. This new edition includes up-to-the-minute scientific findings and has been expanded to provide trustworthy advice about low-carb diets, hormone replacement therapy, Alzheimer's, attention deficit disorder, reflux disease, autism, type 2 diabetes, erectile dysfunction, the flu, and much more.Health can be defined in any number of ways, from the simple fact that you're not lying on a hospital bed to an overall sense of well-being and connectedness. One person may not feel healthy unless he's carrying around mounds of gym-built muscle, while another doesn't feel healthy unless she's eating an intestine-scrubbing macrobiotic diet and practicing an hour of yoga each day.
Dr. Andrew Weil looks at every aspect of health in Natural Health, Natural Medicine. He's quite cynical about bodybuilding and the emphasis on protein in our diets, while making a strong case for paying more attention to the way we breathe and the degree to which we interact with family, community, and nature. An interesting--but, unfortunately, short--section on loving says that most people have no idea what to do when they fall out of romantic love with a partner, which helps explain the high divorce rate.
Other sections of the book focus on healthy self-care practices ("nasal douching" is recommended for sinus sufferers), supplements (he believes most benefits that seem to come from these are placebo responses), and natural home remedies for an A-to-Z list of problems (the section on depression states that people experience low mood because they constantly seek highs; eliminate the quest for highs, and you eliminate the rebound experience of lows).
Many regard this book as the bible of natural healing; but even those who are on the fence about alternative medicine should find it to be an entertaining, informative, and highly opinionated beginner's guide to achieving better health without conventional medicine. --Lou Schuler
