Nice review of what's new...
Just finished reading Natural Medicine 101. I'm a retired doc who is interested in natural meds. This book gives a good overview about a lot of subjects in natural meds. I recommend it for anyone interested. However parts are very dry. On the other hand, it's WORK to stay healthy and one must persist. One real asset of this book is that it is scientifically referenced. And I checked a few references for further info. Nice to have backup.

Naturall Medicine 101
Dr. Dach's intense experience as a conventional medical doctor enhances his thorough research and information about conventional FDA approved medications and alternative therapies. His explanations of what has caused a disease and why conventional meds or treatment might or might not be effective, and what alternative therapy might be considered are very helpful and his candid evaluations are backed up with references to related studies.

A great book
I have just read Jeffrey Dach's book "Natural Medicine 101" with the undertitle "How to Win the Medical Information War and Take Control of Your Health.

And if you are willing to do that - this book will help tremendously...You will learn so much about natural medicine and also learn a lot about the Medical Information War goin and growing on...

He has a wonderful homepage as well...

So-So But Informative
This book contains a lot of information, conveniently located in one book. As such it is very educational. However, it does have problems with the writing. First of all, there is a lot of information that is repeated over and over again. That combined with the fact that the book is type-set with double-spacing, makes me believe that that author and publisher were just looking to fill up pages to make it printable as a "book" instead of a "booklet." The repetition got a little annoying after a while.

The writing is also very simplistic - in other words, you can tell the author is not a writer. If you can get around those issues, you will find valauable information contained within. Was it worth the price of the book (I think I paid nearly $40 for it)? Probably, if you are struggling with thyroid issues and need to educate yourself and your care providers. ... Read more

Product Description
While a hypothyroid or hyperthyroid patient may see their thyroid dysfunction resolved over time, they may potentially experience secondary complications of their thyroid diseases that will require special attention and/or additional treatments. In this book, I will be addressing a number of these type issues, many being common thyroid disease complications with others being less common or rare. It is important that thyroid patients be made aware of both the common and rare types of complications because some of these have better treatment outcomes, the earlier they can be diagnosed and treated. ...

Product Description
Patients with thyroid diseases can experience complications despite being treated for their thyroid disorders. Some complications may be related to inadequate treatment that is in need of being better-optimized while other complications arise due to the disease itself and must be treated as a seperate health disorder.

In this e-book I have endeavored to address the more common complications seen in thyroid patients and the treatments that are commonly recommended for them. I also relate my personal experience with some of these thyroid disease related complications and the treatments I undertook to resolve them.

Included in the chapters are discussions on hair loss, diminished sex drive, adrenal fatigue, weight gain, diabetes risk and prevention and much more.
