God s medicine is not a new concept of healing and is very difficult to argue with. There are many contrasting views to obtaining wellness through natural means. Some are very controversial, while others just make good sense. It would be difficult to find a society anywhere in the world that does not use some form of natural medicine.

Consumer demand for answers regarding natural medicine is at an all time high. In today s culture you can venture into the malls, drugstores and even grocery stores and see a multitude of vitamins, herbals and supplements. Do you really understand what all of these products do? Possible questions you may ask yourself could include some of the following:

What is dangerous and what is not?
Can my children benefit from this or will it harm them?
Can I take herbal medicine with my prescriptions?

Is herbal medicine dangerous?

If this situation is familiar to you, then you know the solutions to each of these questions will require a great deal of time and investigation to find the answer.

Botanical Medicine - A Reference Guide to Wellness will offer you information at a glance. The knowledge you will gain from this book is a compilation of years spent reading hundreds of books, researching, personal and family conditions, feedback from lectures, patients, colleagues, and friends. This book was written specifically because of a sincere dedication to wellness, the natural way!

The word FAT has obtained such a bad name; we all fear the word or simply would rather not discuss it. However, the body does need fat. Fat is necessary for normal brain development during childhood, to provide energy and support the growth process. Fat is thought of as energy in a concentrated form. As the American diet continues to consist of fast foods and excessive fat intake, the trend toward obesity, heart disease, cancer, and hypertension will continue to kill us. There are many diseases that can be traced back to excessive fat in the diet. So with that, how do you know which fats are good for you and which ones are not?
