Editorial Review: James Balch and Mark Stengler, coauthors of the hugely successful Prescription for Natural Cures, and Robin Young Balch have teamed up to create the most comprehensive and up-to-date book available on natural alternatives to prescription medications. The book provides natural, safe, and effective ways to treat a wide range of common ailments, including ADHD, allergies, diabetes, depression, erectile dysfunction, eczema, heart disease, headaches, and PMS. You’ll read in-depth information, not found in any other popular book, about the pros and cons of prescription and over-the-counter drugs compared with natural treatment alternatives ranging from diet and lifestyle changes to supplements and herbal medicines.

Doesn't Follow His OWN Advice!, 2008-09-27
Dr. Balch, the main author, missed a great opportunity to write an exceptional book that could help tens, if not hundreds of thousands of people live a healthier, happier and more rewarding life.
The fact that he often leaves out his own advice given to readers of his newsletter is proof of this.
The best example is the section regarding cholesterol reduction / cardiovascular health.
He offers limited information on natural alternatives to prescription cholesterol-lowering drugs.
He COMPLETELY left out perhaps the best natural alternative of all - Pantethine (a special form of vitamin B5 known as Pantothenic Acid).
A while back, he talked about Pantethine in his newsletter, and how great and safe it is for lowering cholesterol / triglycerides.
Yet in his book, this information is NOWHERE to be found!!
I also found much information about newer, scientifically-advanced supplements was completely missing as well.
As someone who has been involved in the nutritional supplement industry for 15 years, I am greatly disturbed by how incomplete this "up-to-date" book is.
There are books published 10 years ago that are better than this "latest" work by Dr. Balch.
Instead of wasting your $$$ on this book, I highly recommend "Dr. Atkins' Vita-Nutrient Solution" (Nature's Answer to Drugs) by Dr. Robert C. Atkins (available here on Amazon, and in Barnes & Noble stores)
