PENGUIN Prescription for Nutritional Healing, Fifth Edition: A Practical A-to-Z Reference to Drug-Free Remedies Using Vitamins, Minerals, Herbs & Food Supplements

**"Nutritional Healing" by Phyllis A. Balch** is a comprehensive guide to using nutrition and dietary supplements for improving health and combating illness. The book is well-organized, covering a wide range of conditions and the nutrients that can help address them. It's a valuable resource for anyone interested in the therapeutic power of food and supplements, offering practical advice and extensive references. While it can be dense, its thorough approach makes it an essential reference for both beginners and seasoned health enthusiasts.

The 2010 5th edition is excellent with pretty complete coverage of diseases/symptoms. The 2016 Prescription for Natural Cures is also excellent and more up-to-date, though a little lower quality info and a less comprehensive list of diseases.Stacey Bell has sold out to the harmaceutical industry in the 2023 6th edition. I looked at coverage of covid in the reference copy at Natural Grocers and low vitamin D and covid bad outcomes is only barely mentioned and there is no mention of zinc, which is as basic as it gets. It is neutral at best on benefit/risk of covid vaccination. My local Natural Grocers has a copy of the previous 5th edition nearby for anyone who no longer trusts the new version. The publishing/paper quality drop in the new edition is important, but the quality of the information is far more important. Needless to say, I didn't buy the new edition. Stick with the 5th edition.

Muy buena literatura para saber como utilizar complementos alimenticios, algunos remedios de herbolaria (Yo distribuyo USANA actualmente y me ha sido de mucho utilidad para coadyuvar en tratamientos). Tiene una pequeña revisión bastante elemental y entendible para el publico en general, te ayuda a establecer dosis útiles en padecimientos (muchos estudios medicos científicos, respaldan varias de las dosis comentadas). Buena referencia para tener un panorama mas amplio en tratamiento y prevención de enfermedades.

The author has a great mastery over the subject. The book is in detail. I am glad that I made this purchase. Every household should have this.

This version boasts that it is “totally revised and updated” and they’re not kidding. It is no longer a natural book, but full of pharmaceuticals advice. Do not buy!
