Reviews

[Katie · Rating 4 out of 5]

This medical book covers some of the most common issues women face that doctors like to "cure" with a prescription drug. Cohen reviews some of the major medications used to treat these issues along with their individual strengths and possible issues. She also provides a broad view of the condition and some natural remedies to try that may resolve the problem before needing medication. Well written and easy to read. Recommended for a starting place to find some natural remedies to common medical problems.

Great read for anyone who self diagnoses all the time like me, but esp. women (there are a couple chapters dedicated solely to women). This recommended different vitamins or supplements to try based on how what you are already taking or how you feel day-to-day.

DNF @ Chapter 3.

Too much pseudoscience (talking about using crystals charged with prayer magic) and outdated/unsafe recommendations (replacing life-saving medication like statins with B vitamins, suggesting use of unreliable desiccated thyroid over levothyroxine, and horrifyingly long lists of untested, unregulated, overpriced wacky herbal supplements).

This book is chock full of old wive's tales that are not backed up by any reputable scientific studies and goes against basically everything a modern pharmacist should stand for.

It reads like a catalogue with the author serving as the annoying, borderline-senile Avon lady swearing up and down that the products in it will CHANGE YOUR LIFE. (Pharmacist's Note: They won't.)

Some things are legit, some things are questionable.

[Adrienna · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great resource for remedies, which some I knew and some I will try in the future to see if they really work. She is more about natural remedies or other things besides what the major companies offer via pharmaceuticals which seems odd if she is a pharmacist. I liked "drug muggers" book better.
