Prescription Alternatives: Hundreds of
Safe, Natural, Prescription-Free Remedies to Restore and Maintain Your Health by Virginia
Hopkins, MS, Earl L. Mindell, RPh, PhD
Earl L. Mindell writes, "What do you want when you go to an M.D? Most of
us, if we're being honest, would say we want the doctor to give us a name for our disease
and a pill to make it go away. We call this the pill-popping mindset and it has become a
deadly habit." In this new edition of his authoritative guide, Dr. Minell shows that
you can solve your health problems without using drugs and teaches you how to monitor your
body as you switch from drugs to natural health. Mindell draws on his encyclopedic
knowledge of pharmacology, nutrition, and natural healing to present a comprehensive
survey of more than 1,000 simple, safe, nature-based remedies.

The Super Anti-Oxidants Why
they will change the face of healthcare in the 21st century by James F.
Balch, MD
Although medicine has been practiced using the germ theory (body will operate properly
unless a foreign substance is introduced) since the time of Louis Pasteur, Dr. Balch and
many other medical professionals and scientists believe being whole is the key to better
health. When lifestyle choices have caused problems for the individual, restoration
of the body's health (wholeness) must take into account the whole person. With this
in mind, Dr. Balch writes the complete resource on oxidative damage, its harmful effect on
your health and your long life, and how to overcome premature aging and disease. He even
addresses how you can control the effect of oxidative damage on your health and reverse
damage already done!
