Kind of an early alternative health book that throws out large amounts of unsourced and questionable information written by a guy with zero background in health, alternative therapies, or science. OTOH, Paul Twitchell was such a rampant plagiarist that maybe he copied from sources that did do their homework. Who knows? Still wouldn't bet my health on it. Kind of a fun read just for novelty sake, though.

One of the greatest revelations this book brought to me was the necessity of learning about ourselves and what we can and cannot eat. I continue to be amazed at how individual my needs are for different types of foods, the type of exercise I do, and of course, many other things specific to me as an individual. I highly recommend this book. It will teach you at least one new things regarding your individual health.

Bought this long ago but no longer have it. Must buy again! Recommend highly. Finished in '90 but have reread snippets over the years.

I got several things to follow up on from this book. It says on the cover, A complete guide... however specific instructions for using the herbs and minerals are not included.
Interesting...

I was expecting an actual herbal, but got more of an abbreviated encyclopedia listing with some annoying repetition and a lot of Eckankar promotion. If work problems hadn't distracted me, I would have finished it in a day.
