Dated but Authoratative and Relevant

This is an excellent reference, written by a competent and unbiased MD. Though the source material is going on 6 years old in a field of daily change, this is an excellent (and inexpensive) starting point. For what it's worth, all of the material (now updated) with extra entries is now online via a link on the principal author's website [...]. Personally I enjoy holding and folding real books more than gazing into CRTs for the kind of study this material requires. For what it's worth all of the References for the older book and updated material are included in the online version. (Some earlier reviewers were quite affected by the omission of References in the print edition.) What I liked about this text was its level of granularity. By this I mean, it wasn't too fine as you might find in a medical text, nor was it too coarse as you find in so many second hand texts these days. By second hand texts I mean books that are restatements of other books (rarely including the rigorous primary source material searches/reviews as the author did in this case). Thumbs way up!!!

Worth every cent. Missing a few of the herbs that have appeared on the market lately, but it is well organized and covers most common prescription drugs. I repeat: worth every cent.
Wonderful!!!!

This book takes the mystery and mysticism out of herbs and nutritional supplements. The authors are objective in their description and count on the use of double-blind studies to determine if a particular substance has an effect on a particular condition. The book has a clever format - there is a section for conditions and a separate section for supplements, making it very easy to quickly find what you want. The book is fully cross-referenced and also lists all scientific publications. The writing style is most engaging, so the book makes a good read as well as a good reference.
