Prescription for Nutritional Healing Review

We live in a world of super-processed foods and highly polluted air, so having and maintaining good health is more and more difficult. “Prescription for Nutritional Healing”, written by Phyllis A. Balch, C.N.C., is a guide written by a medical doctor and a certified nutritional consultant, in the shape of a great aid in these troubled times for people who need some guidelines concerning nutrition, herbal and complementary therapies.

The book covers up to 300 health conditions and illnesses and proposes natural healing programs for each of them. The guide is easy to follow, as all the diseases are written down in alphabetical order, thus it is quite easy to find a certain condition and its prescribed healing therapy. One of the highlights of this book that has reached its sixth edition is the part that covers the latest research on drug-free remedies in nutrition. All kinds of herbal tinctures and diets are all greatly assessed and reviewed in this book, making its reading a highly interesting one, especially for those who are already on their own towards a healthier and more natural way.

Many people try to stop using allopathic treatments and pill-remedies, as they become more and more aware of the fact that most of the pills only treat the effects of a certain condition, but not its causes. Plus, the majority of pills are prone to cause more health issues later on, if taken on a regular basis, they destroy the stomach and liver, thus it is easy to understand why natural treatments are gaining so many followers lately.

”Prescription for Nutritional Healing” is specially intended for these people, but it is also an excellent guide for those who are just being initiated in this drug-free world. It covers a wide range of conditions, from high blood pressure to infections, and the most exciting part of the writing is the fact that it provides practical advice for each of these conditions. The book could be compared to having your family doctor sitting in the middle of your living room and you being able to ask for his advice whenever you need to. Having this amazing guide on your bookshelf is a real asset, especially because of the types of herbal treatments it recommends.

The book has been continuously revised and improved over time, and it has a unique format that enables easy access to all the information one needs. It incorporates three parts: the first one is mainly an explained list regarding the many different types of nutrients, natural food supplements and herbs you can find in health-food and drugstores. The second part of the book refers to the actual common diseases people might be facing, and recommends the herbal remedy to cure each of them. The third part has been written in the form of a guide to alternative remedies and therapies that are mostly intended to be used in conjunction with a nutritional program.
