The Complete Home Healer: Your Guide to Every Treatment Available for 300 of the Most Common Health Problems

"Not a bad book for just general purposes, but I find it to be lacking in any depth. While it includes many different forms of treatment for some common health problems, it doesn't give enough information on the illness, such as cause or symptons. Those things are just touched on briefly. And some of the treatments described, I find are highly questionable...though of course I am no doctor. But in the case of a Breech Baby I really can't see how taking 1 tablet a day of Pulsatilla 200c, for 3 days, can make a baby turn the right way up. The book is full of way out, unusual treatments that most people would never use. Sure there is practical advice, but that is mostly just common sense. The orthodox advice given just tells you what pills or treatment a doctor would give you...painkillers etc. Ok as a simple reference, but don't expect to find out from it what your symptoms may be of. Because you won't get much help here."
