Hi fairly enjoyed this book。 I think my main issue with it is that I was expecting more recipes and less wording。 Where I do understand the chemistry behind the medicinal quality makes sense， I felt like this should be more of a handbook type format where you can either take notes or jot down recipes that you find interesting。 I left a little to be desired for me。

A thorough and easy-to-understand approach guides readers through the noise and nonsense of some of the trendiest natural medicine topics and ingredients using solid evidence-based evaluation and medically reliable advice。

"The Natural Medicine Handbook" talked about the dangers of dietary supplements and how to find safe and effective ones。 The author has more confidence in pharmaceuticals than dietary supplements and herbs。 He'd prefer that supplements undergo similar testing for safety and effectiveness as prescription drugs and doesn't recommend any that lack testing like this。 Which isn't really fair for herbs that have been used safely for centuries， but， hey， he doesn't talk about very many herbs。 However， "The Natural Medicine Handbook" talked about the dangers of dietary supplements and how to find safe and effective ones。 The author has more confidence in pharmaceuticals than dietary supplements and herbs。 He'd prefer that supplements undergo similar testing for safety and effectiveness as prescription drugs and doesn't recommend any that lack testing like this。 Which isn't really fair for herbs that have been used safely for centuries， but， hey， he doesn't talk about very many herbs。 However， I do agree that supplements should contain what they say they contain and in the amounts claimed and not contain contaminants or undeclared additives。 I already knew about services like Consumerlab。com and Labdoor。com and have used them。 I also approve of his emphasis on changes of lifestyle， like eating more fruits and vegetables， exercising more， quitting smoking， etc。The first part of the book covered information like this， but the rest looked at different categories of supplements， like multivitamins， supplements for brain health， hearth health， losing weight， immune boosters， energy boosters， high cholesterol， digestive problems， hair and nail problems， etc。 He named certain products that are approved of by Consumerlab and talked about some supplements that he doesn't recommend， explaining the problems with them。 I'd recommend this book to those who aren't aware of the potential problems with dietary supplements。I received an ebook review copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley。 。。。more
