Best Choices from the People's Pharmacy : What You Need to Know Before Your Next Visit to the Doctor or Drugstore

It is nice to have but an updated one would be much better.

very good book

I've had this for a few yrs. It's one of my "go to" books. I lent it to a friend that needed help with her health. She kept it for awhile longer than intended as she was always looking up things for herself and her husband. So..... I decided to buy one for her to get mine back! That should say enough about this book. I like it mainly because the Graedon's give you not just info about drugs from the pharmacy, (with side effects too) but also natural ways to address health issues for those who want to try that before the Dr. decides you need to take a drug. There are also notes from people giving their solutions and what worked for them. Everything, including drugs, do not work for everyone the same way. I'm more for finding natural solutions vs. drugs, mainly because of side effects, which can cause other problems. I'm also aware that most Dr.'s have no idea of the side effects of the drugs they're prescribing. Scary! I do not want to be their "guinea pig".This is a great addition to your collection that will give you an edge on taking control of your health.

Very good, but much of the data is dated from the 90's.It goes over the benefits and the side effects of pharmaceuticals as well as homeopathic and naturapathic treatments. I read a lot about innovations in the medical industry and many of those are not included. But it is a very good reference to have at home.

I heard this book advertised some time ago and did not purchase then. However, it had the remedies I had heard about on TV. Well pleased with my purchase.

Purchased as a gift a couple of years ago. My friend still uses the book regularly.

This is the best health and nutrition book I have had in a very long time. I already know a lot of what it teaches but there is a lot that I am learning. I have tried the Fruit Pectin (Certo) and grape juice...IT WORKS!! Great price! I recommend it.

This book answers some of the questions you have about health problems and medicines that you want answers quickly. Then you follow up with a pharmacist or your doctor.

This out of print book still has useful information. People's Pharmacy also has an online site.

I found the book very interesting and informative - great ideas

This is a gem of a book - the authors say that for over 30 years they have been evaluating prescription drugs, over the counter medications, dietary supplements and home remedies. Their book contains a range of options for treating a variety of common problems and I have found it to be very helpful. They have a website and receive feedback about medical, OTC and home remedies from thousands of people. It has an interesting mix of solid information and quirky tips. E. g. My husband and I keep a bar of soap in the bed for cramp as they recommend, and it works a treat for us .... but why is a mystery.

some useful information

This book is full of handy tips and a great buy.
