Herbal Drugstore Review

I really LOVE this book, and I have a lot of books on herbal medicine. What I like about the herbal drugstore is how it gives both the typical prescription drugs for common ailments, and the herbal alternatives. It also describes how the herbs are supposed to work (if it is known.) That alone sets this book apart from most other herbal references. This would be a terrific first book on the subject for anyone's home library and I think it adds a lot to my shelf on herbs.
There are good drawings of the herbs, sections on vitamins, excercises, nutrition, combining herbs with prescription medicines (some can interfere; tell your physician) and much more. Yet the book has a very well-designed format, clear print, good organization and is chatty and readable. What more could you ask for? If I could give this book 10 stars, I would. It is THAT good,

Get the Sugar Out: 501 Simple Ways to Cut the Sugar Out of Any Diet Review

Get the Sugar Out: 501 Simple Ways to Cut the Sugar Out of Any Diet
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I felt that this was an excellently written and was easy to read. I had read "Sugar Blues" immediately before this and "Get the Sugar Out" was most definitely a far superb book. It seemed to stick to the subject and appeared to stay more with facts. "Sugar Blues" seemed to be more opinionated and outdated. All in all "Get the Sugar Out" was very helpful and useful to me. After reading it I can certainly never look at sugar the same or eat it without feeling guilty. The book brings up points about sugar that I have never thought of before. I have began to eliminate sugar from my diet and I am amazed at where sugar is hidden in every day food that I never dreamed would have sugar. I have already began to notice a tremendous difference in my energy level and have lost a couple of pounds. I would highly recommend reading this book to anyone who is interested in bettering their physical and mental well being.

Zone Food Blocks: The Quick and Easy, Mix-and-Match Counter for Staying in the Zone Review

Zone Food Blocks: The Quick and Easy, Mix-and-Match Counter for Staying in the Zone
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This book should get the prize for completely BAD representation of information. I am a total zone convert, it has changed my life, but if I had this book to start with, it would have hindered, NOT helped me in my path. Most of the measurements are not helpful, they are not consistent. Some are in cups, some are in ozs, some in slices, all in decimal amounts (where is my .1 cup measure?). They are in block amounts rather than serving amounts. (Is it useful to know that .8 of a 3/4 oz slice is 1 block? or is it useful to know how much 1 slice is???). Some items are in the wrong group. Ice Cream is a *protien* rather than a carb as it belongs. The foods have a decidedly east coast bent as many of the foods listed are either not available on the west coast, or common west coast brands are missing.
I was really looking forward to this book to help out friends and family members that want to start the zone. I was very disappointed. Mastering the Zone still represents the best effort by Dr. Sears, though I would hope that before he is allowed to write again, that he gets an qualified editor that can help in the presentation of ideas.

Kiss Your Dentist Goodbye: A Do-It-Yourself Mouth Care System for Healthy, Clean Gums and Teeth Review

Kiss Your Dentist Goodbye: A Do-It-Yourself Mouth Care System for Healthy, Clean Gums and Teeth
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Ellie Phillips, DDS has written a book detailing the dental care regimen she recommends for her patients. Contrary to the eye catching title, she is not suggesting people stop seeing their dentist, but rather proposes a more preventative approach to keep dental problems to a minimum.
Her focus is on a series of rinses that adjust the mouth's chemistry, creating a healthier environment to facilitate the destruction of bad bacteria that cause plaque on teeth and contribute to gum disease, and encourage the growth of good bacteria that help bolster the natural rebuilding capabilities of our teeth.
Dr. Phillips explains why, although faithfully brushing and flossing, individuals may still have serious dental problems, but what is particularly helpful is her clear and non-technical explanations regarding why our current methods aren't working and why this system has good results. The book is actually interesting to read. There is a wealth of information for both adults and children along with some revealing material on the effect bleaching has on tooth health.
Trying the Dr. Phillips' system is not difficult or time consuming. The products are all available over the counter and on the internet with most being moderately priced. I am a cautious person and do not try every new fad that comes along, particularly when it comes to medical matters. I was interested in this book because I want to keep my teeth, not harm them. Dr. Phillips has been using this system for many years in her practice with success. What I read in her book makes sense to me, so I have started the program. It has been two weeks and entirely too soon to be reporting on my progress, but I can say my mouth has never felt cleaner.
I am not a dental professional or a chemist, and I haven't been using the system long enough to provide definitive proof of results, so this review isn't an endorsement of the Dr. Phillips process. That said, I am impressed enough to encourage anyone else interested in the subject matter, to read the book. I read it in one sitting and learned a great deal about teeth and gums. That information alone is valuable to me and made the book worth my time.

Cooking for David: A Culinary Dialysis Cookbook Review

Cooking for David: A Culinary Dialysis Cookbook
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I was diagnosed with stage 3 CKD back in June. So I thought this book would be helpful to me. And it was. On the dissappointing side, there are a few too many recipes with canned fruits and cool whip for my taste. I also have multiple food allergies (what a nightmare, food allergies AND CKD!!! )including a shrimp allergy and many of the main course and appetizer recipes use shrimp. Although I'm not on dialysis I have pretty much the same restrictions. This book was a good starting point for recipe ideas. Also, she gives a great deal of information about why CKD management is so important, that was very helpful and educational.
However, I found getting a good gram/ounce food scale and a copy of the USDA food nutrition data base more helpful for me [...] buy a hard copy here on Amazon). I prefer a whole food diet and am now just converting my old recipes. Although this is a pain in the butt, I find spending a bit of time doing this more helpful for me. Also, write on freezer bags and masking tape are god sends for labeling frozen food and cupboard kept ingredients. For those who don't want to spend the time doing this, get this book.
Now matter what book we buy, we still have to spend a lot of time attending to our diet. And even though I rated this book 3 stars, I'm grateful to the women who wrote it. Like many of you who are dealing with this new life style, it can seem overwhelming at first. (Who knew guacamole could be so deadly?)Hang in there!
8/25/06 Recently I found software is available that will track all this for you. I purchased Diet Pro, which was easy to customize to my needs. It uses the same nutrition tables the dieticians use (USDA)and has made my life much easier! It will take food amounts by weight or volume amounts and show you your daily nutrition intake. I can also put in recipes and get a nutrional breakdown per serving, and save the recipes in a file. I no longer spend hours calculating my daily nutrition. There are other programs out there too. Diet Pro was the least expensive.

This is by far the best product available for Urinary Tract Infection that is over the counter. It works fast at numbing the discomfort, and as long as the UTI is in it's early stages, will knock it out of your system. I have avoided the need for a Dr's appointment with this stuff. Highly recommended.
