August 20, 2000: I have learned more from this book about the subject of Osteoporous than any other book or article I have purchased. I was surprised to find out that not all calcium is 'user friendly'; much of it contains lead as a result of the milling process. And not all calcium is easily absorbed. This book gives information about an assortment of health problems with possible solutions. I purchased the first copy from an health food store, and the book was worn when I bought it (most likely from people using it as a reference). One thing is for sure, you will not be disappointed, Encyclopedia of Natural Medician is a wealth of information.
