THE BEST BOOK ON HERBS/VITAMINS/CURES I HAVE EVER READ.  Jul 30, 2003 By John Hopkins "chosen 1"
THIS IS A JEWEL PEOPLE. I OWN ABOUT 25 BOOKS ON HERBS, VITAMINS, AND NATURAL HEALING. THIS BOOK IS BY FAR THE MOST USEFUL OUT OF MY ENTIRE LIBRARY. WHEN I NEED TO KNOW SOMETHING, I GRAB THIS BOOK FIRST, AND RARELY DO I NEED TO GO FURTHER TO ANOTHER BOOK.

THE AUTHOR WROTE THIS COMPENDIUM WITH "INFORMATION" IN MIND. IT ISN'T WELL WRITTEN. IT'S MORE LIKE A BRAIN DRAIN OF DATA ON JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING YOU CAN EVER WANT TO LOOK UP. THE GOOD THING IS THAT YOU'LL LEARN AMAZING THINGS THAT YOU WON'T FIND IN ANY OTHER BOOK IN EXISTENCE. THE BAD THING IS THAT SOMETIMES YOU MAY GET ANNOYED WITH THE SEARCH FOR SOMETHING. IT IS CLUTTERED AND AT TIMES LABORIOUS WHEN TRYING TO LOCATE SOMETHING.

I HOPE THE AUTHOR WILL INCLUDE BETTER HEADINGS AND BETTER ORGANIZATION OF MATERIAL UNDER EACH HEADING IN A NEWER EDITION...

BUY THIS BOOK.

The most valuable book you will ever own!  Feb 12, 2005 By Jennifer Lanier
I have 3 words for you: BUY THIS BOOK!!

THis is the most informative, thorough, interesting book on natural health I have ever read!

If you hate to read, this book is probably not for you. It's also not for people who have trouble comprehending what they read. People who love to read, who have a intense interest in nutrition, natural health, science, or healing will absolutely adore this book. I guard mine with my life! Especially now that I see it is out of print. If I had the cash, I would buy another copy while I still can. The book is truly incredible! It contains a phenomenol amount of information. Very in-depth details, everything you need to know about specific vitamins, herbs, minerals, amino acids, etc. And also enlightening information regarding some unorthodox healing methods. In depth information about energy, electricity, auras, and so forth. It is absolutely amazing how much information this book contains. The format and organization is unique, and in some ways difficult to follow at first. BUt that's because it contains SO MUCH information! And the quality of the information it contains is worth taking the time to re-read it. The author did an incredible job with this book, and you can tell he put a great deal of time, effort, and research into it! It's worth it's weight in gold!! (And this is one heavy book! :)

Everything you wanted to know about Natural Medicine + More  Nov 24, 1998
This book is the definitive guide about natural medicine. Very comprehensive, yet, for the most part, extremely easy to understand. This is a must for individuals with cancer and immune disorders, as well as anyone wanting to stave off the effects of environmental health hazards. With this manual, I also recommend the book Alternative Medicine - The Definitive Guide by the Burton Goldberg Group. The two books go hand-in-hand.

Huge resource!  Oct 23, 2010 By John J. Wright
This huge encyclopedia has everything! Its so large its index is 500 pages!!!!! Really that would be the only negative IMO. Tying to navigate that huge index can become super frustrating. And sometimes things do-not match up index to herb ect. That being said. This man Joseph Marion has spent a lifetime in alternate health. He breaks down all the fruits,veggies and every other weird sea weed ect. Great book to did through. I learned so much from it and have tried some of his natrual healing remedies and a few have worked. Really if you buy this book you wont have to buy another natrual food book again as this contains EVERYTHING!!
