Book Reviews of Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine, Revised Second Edition
Book Review: One of best natural medicine books, written for both laymen and practitioners
Summary: 5 Stars
When patients ask me to recommend the book, most likely improve their health, Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine, Revised Second Edition, is one I recommend, unless they suffer from diabetes, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue or cancer. I recommend Michael Murray's How to Prevent and Treat Diabetes with Natural Medicine and How to Prevent and Treat Cancer with Natural Medicine, when they are more specific, to patient problems. From Fatigued to Fantastic, by Jacob Teitelbaum, MD is a better fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue book.
The information on liver detoxification, diabetes, alcoholism, attention deficits, depression, migraines, osteoarthritis, restless leg syndrome, obesity, high blood pressure, hepatitis, rheumatism, inflammatory bowel disease and prostatitis has improved our patient outcomes.
We have succeeded in totally eliminating restless leg syndromes, in 2 days, using research contained in this book. The prostatitis protocols have produced 75 % reductions in nocturia. The migraine protocols can totally eliminate histamine headaches and reduce migraine pain, at least 50 %. We were able to lower an insulin diabetic's blood sugar 50 points using Gymnema, an herbal, recommended by this book.
The book is thoroughly and exhaustively researched and documented. This book is readable, unlike much of the original research, published in journals. This book would be especially helpful for skeptics who ask where the published research for natural treatments is.
I do not understand the relationship between fingerprint patterns and Alzheimers disease, discussed in this book. I did not have the Alzheimers pattern, but am taking antioxidants and anti-inflammatory herbals, in addition to oral chelation, to decrease my risk for Alzheimers.
The main addition, which would make the book more complete, would be additional information about bioidentical hormone replacement. Disease Prevention and Treatment, Expanded Fourth Edition, by Life Extension Media, is a better book, since it integrates hormonal and pharmaceutical treatments, in addition to herbal, neutraceutical and nutritional treatment.
I have heard Michael Murray lecture and he is brilliant and knowledgeable. His interest in reducing suffering is obvious.
Dr. Murray continues to research more effective herbal and nutritional formulas and we have found formulas he developed to be highly potent and effective. Pharma GABA and Celery Factor are especially effective.

Summary of Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine, Revised Second Edition
The perfect balance between the latest research and age-old wisdomThis completely revised and expanded second edition of the classic reference work arms you with the latest information on the extraordinary healing powers of natural medicine. Michael Murray and Joseph Pizzorno, two of the most trusted naturopathic doctors in the world, have teamed up once again to bring you cutting-edge natural remedies for the most common ailments.
Easy to understand, a pleasure to read, yet scientifically well researched and documented, this is your complete health adviser to the natural approach to over 70 diseases, from arthritis to varicose veins. In addition, this life-long reference offers important information on:
·The four cornerstones of good health and how to achieve them
·How to enhance your body's key systems
·How to promote good health and increase longevity
Authoritative and up to date, the Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine is the essential medical reference no home should be without.
Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine weighs three pounds and nine ounces, has 946 pages, and is as informative as it is hefty. The authors are naturopathic doctors--they focus on promoting health and treating disease with nontoxic, natural therapies. Naturopathic medicine follows these seven principles:
- Do no harm: use safe, effective, natural therapies.
- Nature has healing powers: the physician's job is to enhance the body's natural power to heal itself.
- Identify and treat the cause: find the cause, rather than just suppress the symptoms.
- Treat the whole person: administer to the patient's physical, mental/emotional, spiritual, and social sides.
- The physician is a teacher: educate and motivate patients to take more responsibility for their health.
- Prevention is the best cure: health-supporting life habits prevent disease.
- Establish health and wellness: increase the patient's positive physical and mental state.
This book shows you how to improve your health through a positive mental attitude, healthy lifestyle, health-promoting diet, and supplements, with plenty of practical tips. Learn disease prevention through enhancing key body systems. The bulk of the book details natural remedies for treating more than 70 ailments. Each includes symptoms, description, therapeutic considerations (with discussion of studies), and a treatment summary, including nutritional supplements and botanical (herbal) medicines. If you have a disease, this book will give you a valuable perspective on natural treatments. If you're well, it will give you many pointers for maintaining and enhancing your health. --Joan Price
