Useful, but... - By: Michael Sherman, 04 Oct 2004 
This is a good book to have as part of a collection, but I certainly don't recommend it on its own, as it tends to suggest that fairly low dosages are as high as should be looked into. I do think it's a useful guide for understanding a lot of nutritional supplements, but would recommend it in companionship with the superb "Health Defence" by Paul Clayton & "Digestive Wellness" by Elizabeth Lipski. A useful reference tool.
The most thorough and accessible guide I've seen yet - By: , 11 Oct 2000 
This book not only tells you what various nutrients do & where to find them, it reviews recent scientific research into a whole range of nutritional therapies with a critical view. For anyone looking to improve their health naturallly, I would highly recommend this easy-to-read book.
information packed and comprehensive - By: , 01 Feb 1999 During this time of the natural healing explosion it is helpful to have a tool which keeps you from drowning in alll the information. Another helpful aspect of the book is the reference section composed of an extensive bibliography, relevant phone numbers & addresses, as well as a painstakingly detailed index of conditions & pages which apply. Worth every penny you'll find youself referring to it when ever necessary & feeling empowered to make informed decisions about your health.
Comprehensive and Understandable - By: , 16 Oct 1997 One of the few books I have found that did not make me feel as though I was do something wrong if I did not follow the author's regimen. Nor does the author dismiss physicians in the fashion that other non-traditional authors seem wont to do. Very comprehensive in its approach to treatment of symptoms & descriptions of vitamins, minerals, et al. And best of alll, the author actuallly includes recommended dosages. A great resource.
This is essential for those interesting in improving health - By: , 21 Jun 1997 This is an excellent reference book on vitamins & other nutritional supplements & a "must have" for those interested in learning more about improving their health naturallly. It is very well laid out & chock-a-block full of useful information on the dosage, available forms & reasons why each supplement is beneficial. It makes me more confident when I'm shopping for supplements & I'm able to avoid making mistakes buying "snake oil" or empty supplements that have little nutritional value. Thank you Dr. Murray.
