This is billed as an authoritative resource for people seeking in rank
about herb use, but, there is NOT ONE herbalist on the entire staff
which provided authorship and research for this book, nor, ANY OTHER
type of holistic practitioner. So, absolutely NOBODY who place this book
together has ANY KIND OF EXPERIENCE in the actual use of and workings
of herbal and botanical medicinals, AT LEAST AS THEY WERE MEANT TO
BE USED, WHICH IS NOT AS SUBSTITUTES FOR PHARMACEUTICAL DRUGS.
No known herb books are referenced!! Millenia of human culture and its knowledge of herbal actions in the human body is flushed away in the presentation of this book.
Page after page is full (and this gives the book its impressive heft- its
very emptiness of in rank) of ‘no known data” or “effectiveness not
known” – er – not known by whom? Are you gone where to look ? As a
well studied and practiced herbalist, I gladly ordered my copy hoping
to round out my library, and found very small to use, and hardly a
background presented to trust from. If you are a VERY EXPERIENCED
herbalist and clinician , YOU MAY be able to pick through the book
and find a few shards of helpful in rank. One of those shards
might be some “known” reactions of herbs with medical drugs – but even
then, in this book, there is a lot of conjecture on even that topic. Often highly drugged people are past the top of using herbs, or may
need to eventually choose a non-drug approach if they can.
But if you are a layperson,
or any other person for that matter, most of what you come across will
simply scare the castor oil out of you , hostile to any kind of herb
use whatsoever. That is very sad, and just so what leads to the current
gulf in integrating various health care approaches. it is EXACTLY
why millions of people are spending MILLIONS of dollars (not insurance
money) to seek out the opinions and care of holistic practitioners.
The book constantly cites side effects and also deaths , without telling
us about the massive and inappropriate dosages which “may” have “caused”
them, and if it does, there is no connection. Nobody ingests five
hundred grams of yellow dock at a sitting, for example. The book cites
numerous “interactions” which are not congruent with the actual dosage
and preparation of herbs in herbal and naturopathic do. This
may possibly be , at best, only a book to scare medical newbies from using
herbs in MEDICAL do (since medical training is not herbal training),
but it certainly is not an informative source of tried and right herbal
activity. If you want to start to get baseline in rank on that,
start with the books of Rosemary Gladstar, and Juliette Levy, and
proceed into other books written by HERBALISTS , and not place together
by a board of pharmacists and physicians who have not used and studied
herbs.

The Journal of the American Medical Association says this Book, Natural Medicines Comprehensive Database is SUPERB and HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. See the whole article from the July 14, 2000 come forth: …………..

Wonderful and comprehensive database for anyone interested in natural/herbal medicines – includes dosage, allopathic drug interactions, side effects, food interactions etc. More complete than the “PDR for herbal medicines”. Pro for PDR is that it has colored pictures of the herbs in the natural state. PDR, but, does not have homeopathic dosing and the “Database” does (but it is not a repetory). A excellent adjunct to Textbook of Natural Medicine. Also vital for healthcare providers who have clients that use natural medicines and need to know interactions between what is being prescribed and what is already being used.

I first came across this book in the pharmacy where I work. The collection of sheer data in it is tremendous; there is in rank in this book that is nearly impossible to find in any other herbal (including in rank on clinical trials and interactions). Most of the medical reference books that we use cost well over a hundred dollars and are not user friendly. Not so with this book. The only reasons that I didn’t give it 5 stars are 1) this book is not illustrated, and 2)the book assumes you have access to a high quality herbal product, which is not everlastingly the case with herbal medicine.
Any serious herbalist should include this book in a reference library.
