This book is basically an encyclopedia of vitamins and minerals. If you have some kind of disease or want to know more about a vitamin, just go to the index and flip to the page where it starts talking about it.
The book was very informational and covered so many medical diseases that I didn't even know about. You can really tell that the author put a lot of time and effort compiling and putting the information all together. When reading the A-Z diseases section, I noticed a common pattern in which Eades recommended in most of her cures for the diseases, to eat a healthy and nutritious diet as a way to avoid contracting the disease. I also noticed for a lot of diseases that she prescribed the reader vitamin c as a way to be cured. I found this interesting and told my friends and family about this. It seemed to me that the people all around me where constantly eating junk foods and whatnot. Eades gave a proper description and instructions on what a proper diet should consist of as well.
I gave this book 3 stars due to me reading it in the year of 2020. This book was written in 1994. Of course, with time, medicines and treatments have changed and evolved. I recommend that if you are looking to read more about current medical discoveries, to go read something written more recently. However, most of the contents of the book still stand strong in the medical world. I would recommend this to anyone who just wants to learn most about vitamins especially. I myself, after reading this book, have noticed that when I read the nutrition contents on the back of a product I use I understand way more about what it is saying.
