Prescription for Nutritional Healing has long been the most trusted guide to holistic health. The new and improved third edition includes expanded listings of drug-free cures for everything from allergies to arteriosclerosis, heartburn to hemophilia. But this classic reference for alternative medicine offers more than just a quick fix -- it also provides an in-depth look at the basic elements of health and covers new supplements like SAMe and little-known herbal remedies such as cat's claw.
