Scientific Validation of Herbal Medicine

"This book presents a list of medical ailments, from Arthritis to Weight Loss, and the specific plants, herbs, and minerals that can be used for treatment on these problems. From the book's back cover by Clifford Zadok, Director of Research at Health Data Development Corporation:

"The Scientific Validation of Herbal Medicine by Daniel B. Mowrey, Ph.D., is a remarkable book that has been long awaited by herbalists and health professionals who are seriously interested in herbal medicine.

Dr Mowrey has presenter to us in his first book, destined to be classic work, documented research from predominantly peer reviewed medical journals and texts from around the world.

In this book, Dr. Mowrey provides the answers why herbal medicine is effective, possibly more effective in treatment than pharmaceutical drugs and medications. His documentation is researched from the very journals that the pharmaceutical industry relies upon!

For years Dr. Mowrey has written extensively in well known magazines such as "The Herbalist", and has produced research studies and essays that have been published in prestigious medical journals such as the British "Lancet".

Dr. Mowrey's background [circa 1986]includes a Ph.D. in psychology and psychopharmacology from Brigham Young University, with related studies in biochemistry and biology. He has served with the faculty at Brigham Young University, and was the Director of Research and Development at Amtec Industries; Director of the Nebo Institute on Herbal research; and is currently the Director of the Mountainwest Institute of Herbal Science. He is also a contributing consultant to Health Data Development Corporation. In all these positions, Dr. Mowrey has been directly involved with toxicology tests and efficacy studies on numerous herbs and herbal formulations. Over the years much of Dr. Mowrey's research on herbal blends has been incorporated into the lines of leading herbal product manufacturers.

Get set for a grand experience...""

"I have studied and used herbs since 1984. I own over 100 books,of all kinds, on herbs yet this is the main book I continue to go to when researching an herbal remedy. I personally use several of the herbal combinations or a modified version of them myself on a daily basis with great success."

I would recommend it to any one who is interested in healthy alternatives in addition to medications."

"This book is FANTASTIC!!! Go look in the pages and check out how they have their index. Most books' indexes you go to look up a word like *asthma* and you get page numbers that you go to and hope it's what you were looking for. In this book you look up asthma in the index and it shows you which herbs and the page numbers! That was worth the price of the book to me! Same with herb listings... you look up the herb and it tells you which ailment it will help and the page number to find it on.

Within the book you will find DETAILED explanations on which herbs to use, how much and how to apply them (i.e. gargling, teas, capsules, etc.)

This book will be my main herbal medicine book for years to come! Out of all my herbal books this one *by far* is the BEST book on herbal medicine that I have in my library! I HIGHLY recommend it to anyone seeking natural alternatives to health!!"

"I've studied herbs for years, and have collected many books on the subject, but of them all, Mowreys' book The Scientific Validation of Herbal Medicine holds a pre-eminent place. Well written,intelligently and solidly researched, this book stands head over shoulders above the plethora of herbal books that derive their information mostly from folklore and anecdotal reports. Mowrey's book seperates the "wheat from the chaff". Highly recommended."
