Earl Mindell's New Vitamin Bible

There is no way to be 'finished' with a reference book. That said, I have a deep appreciation for the comprehensiveness of the book. It lists the vitamin or mineral form that is most usable by the body--as well as its food sources. Why not take iron with calcium? Why should thiamin (B1), riboflavin (B2) and B6 be taken in equal quantities? This is stuff your doctors just don't have time to tell you. It isn't their expertise. The cautions and cross reference with interactions bring to my attention what prescribers might need to be involved in my choices, which is really all of my team of physicians. I have eczema and have always been told it is related to stress. It is. I've observed that first hand. There are 11 references to eczema and underlying causes, other than stress. Cravings? Covered to a degree. Vegetarian or vegan, got you covered. There is a symptom checker portion, a glossary and an index. I'm keeping this book forever--or until the next version comes out. And no, it's not in my lending library. *grin* While this is not the Physician's Desk Reference, it certainly doesn't need to be and is more portable! (The price is right, too.)

I loved my book so much I ordered my Mother one. All vitamin books are informative. This one is informative up to date gives advice and has a wealth of information. It gives everything you need to know about most vitamins and supplements. SOme amazing facts and well thought out and written well and broken down for basic and advanced information. Its just a great book! It also has suggestions for hair skin and nails and pretty much every body part inside and out. It has alot of Q&A and alot of myth busters. Just a really great reference book. You really have to read many vitamin books and research many studies and plan your vitamins and supplements according to your diet weight and age and lifestyle. Never just listen to one Doctor or one book. Take the time to research it all and come up with a plan that works for you. Alot of supplements mentioned in this book for weight loss I have tried and lost 25lbs, by doing nothing!

I first seen "Earl Mindell" interviewed on "Dina Petty Show from Toronto, Ontario" bouncing across the Great Lakes into N.Y. state. Earl Mindell started his w/ Degree in Pharmacy. As a Pharmacist he could not believe the side effects customers were having. then Dr.s medicating side effects...Started studying the Research on Nutrients, as well as Drug induced nutrient depletion when Drug is Detoxified & went on to get a PhD in Nutrition I believe ..Forgive my typos & etc. please. What You Will Find May Change Quality Life of Loved One, or Yourself Research Based Information that's ahead of National Health Org. Guidelines > EGGS ARE GREAT FOR HIGH HDL as well as excellent balanced protein source !!!!! "Not saying any-all Drugs are not helpful" But your Blood Test can be used as Guide to create healthier longer life w/ alert mind ! " In this recently Man Made Chemical World > Pet's & People do not have "Drug Deficiency's" w/ need for side effects. Take a Statin drug Chronically and end up with Chromium mcg. (micro gram) deficiency > Chromium help nutrients across blood brain barreior & works to control blood sugar levels...... As you cross reference SYMPTOMS it leads back to cause's and one sees simple changes in diet, and need for supplements, herbs extracts, brisk walking > Example " Chronic Unending Stress" = High Blood Pressure, High HDL, Type II Diabetic > many of the same Necessary Nutrients will cross over between conditions, He list Foods w/ highest concentration & Best Forms of Supplements to assimilate into body to address Chronic conditions, or Acute Events like a Stroke to Regain & Maximise Health in spite of the Hyper Fast Pace & Stresses of Modern Life ! I feel I lack the words to reveal impact of Knowledge in Book to return Energy & Feeling Great Again to Modern Fatigued, Stressed, Workaholic Society, and even more to a person who has a body has been wacked out of Balanced Function ! If you are of the latter, and for Cross Reference I would also suggest a 2nd book based on Nutritional Approach To Heal One's Self "Treating And Beating Fibromyalgia & Chronic Fatigue Syndrome" by Dr Roger H. Murphree The second book takes different approach to examine how ones various Systems w/ Essential Nutrients can come up short. NOTE: one does not have to have condition on the cover to benefit from this read Esp. Check 'Appendix A' that has been moved to back of book for SYMPTOM PROFILES, and 'Appendix B' can help you understand your blood test results you get from Dr./ Hospital - in some ways I liked his index from earlier edition, but finding the " 5th Edition " index format is good tool, but different & perhaps better as ended up creating Index to my own conditions in previous on inside back paper cover. Which leads to - Creating Your Own Health"3 Ring Binder" - that one can pop pages into with updated info as you age as a Resource .

This is far and away the handiest, easiest, most user friendly guide to finding everything you wanted to know about vitamin supplements. Alphabetized and categorized, look up any vitamin or mineral and find facts, benefits, natural sources, deficiencies, cautions, drug interactions and, often, personal advise presented in concise, easy to understand language. Some herbs included, too, along with a chapter of commonly asked questions and answers. I have every edition of this book that has been published and each newly revised edition was responsibly and thoroughly updated. Truly a 5-star book, I am deducting 1-star because this 2011 edition is long overdue to be updated/revised and when it is I will absolutely buy it.

Dr. Mindell knows his stuff...from his pharmacy days and their ignorance of the benefits of vitamin therapy, to his study of how and why vitamins work. This comprehensive book is the place to go for information about any health issue that may be helped by vitamin, mineral, herbal, etc. therapy. It includes warnings about medication interactions that benefit anyone taking RX drugs. Includes valuable info for types of persons; shift workers, office workers, bodybuilders, laborers, etc. Situations of special nutritional needs is perhaps the best part of this book. When you are stung by a bee, what to do? If you suffer from allergies, what will help? Never mind all the TV propaganda, this book should be yours to help with the ever-changing health of all people who are willing to use vitamins and herbs to improve their lives.

Conteúdo muito atualizado e abrangente. Recomendo

自分としては、ラズベリーケトンやクロロゲン酸類の説明が欲しくて購入したが、 それは無かった。全体的に情報は新しくなったり、追加はあるが、 最新情報、ことに日本語版からの発展があまり見られないのが残念でした。

The book is a nice size. It explains different kinds of pills (e.g. synthetic, organic, etc.) in a way that's easy to understand. The information in the book helps you to locate a nutritionally oriented doctor. It's a great self-help aid that doesn't leave you confused. The fast facts, tips, and "did you know" tidbits are very helpful. Earl Mindell's books are very information and are a good read for both the novice and advanced. They're written in an easy to understand manner. Progressive knowledge is included in his books. The Vitamin Bible and Herb Bible should really be purchased together.

This book is indispensable in every household. It describes what illnesses various food supplements are good for and highlights any contraindications. It does not deal solely with vitamins, but also covers different diets, fibre, carbohydrates, enzymes, etc. in fact it answers any question you may have!

Haven put it down
