PEOPLE'S PHARMACY GUIDE TO HOME AND HERBAL REMEDIES
Graedon, Joe
2001 51768 The People's Pharmacy Guide to Home and Herbal Remedies is a volume of remedies for a thorough inventory of common ailments -- from allergies to warts. The focus of the book is on home and herbal remedies, an important domain of health care where physicians and pharmacists are frequently unwilling or unable to provide consumers with counsel. The centerpiece and cornerstone of The People's Pharmacy Guide to Home and Herbal Remedies is a section that alphabetically lists ailments and suggests remedies. Included is a comprehensive guide to 50 common herbal therapies, with a brief description of each -- including dosage, special precautions and potential adverse effects, potential interactions with other substances, and the active ingredients and mechanisms by which they affect the body. There is also a separate section that specifically lists and describes dangerous herb-drug interactions. This latter section is potentially lifesaving -- it warns, for instance, that too much licorice may cause arrhythmia in those taking the heart drug Lanoxin. Through their previous work, Joe and Teresa Graedon have built a substantial network of contacts, including their readers, listeners, and fans, as well as physicians, and other medical professionals. The reader is treated to deftly edited highlights and extracts from these resources. To back up anecdotal claims of effectiveness, the authors frequently cite the clinical literature or other trusted sources of information such as Consumer Reports. The text is generously sprinkled with set-off boxes that provide recipes, questions that readers or radio listeners have asked (with the authors' answers), helpful remedies and tips, and many direct quotes from people who have tried the various suggested remedies, some with -- and some most emphatically without -- success. A reader who looks up "constipation" will find an exhaustive list of potential causative agents, lists of high-fiber foods and psyllium-containing products, and a recipe for a special bran concoction, in addition to an explanation of the causes and some easy-to-prepare cures for this malady. This reader will find a question about prunes from one of the authors' fans and another regarding a specific herbal tea, with the Graedons' educated responses. And as if that weren't sufficient, the following personal account from one of the Graedons' many contacts is included: "Constipation has been my problem for more years than I want to count. Psyllium seed is yucky and just barely works. My solution is flaxseeds ground in my coffee grinder. I keep it in small batches in the refrigerator and take ½ teaspoon with a glass of juice or water daily. Sometimes I sprinkle it on my cereal or put it in a fruit smoothie. I like the nutty taste, and it has been like a miracle for me." The Graedons write from the first-person-plural point of view in an informal, accessible, and wittily engaging prose style. And while The People's Pharmacy Guide to Home and Herbal Remedies should be comprehensible to a wide demographic, the Graedons never patronize the reader. Explanations of complex medical conditions are friendly, but at the same time, vivid and complete enough to provide the reader with a sophisticated level of understanding. For example, in an introduction to a section of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), the Graedons write: "The prostate isn't really a bad gland; it's a good gland in a bad place. Think of a doughnut around a water hose and you'll have a good model for the prostate (doughnut) and the male urethra (the hose), through which urine must flow to exit the body.. Imagine closing down the nozzle on your garden hose so that there is a trickle instead of a gush. It will take a lot longer to wash the car with such a small stream. Same thing is true when emptying your bladder if there is a substantial constriction at the doughnut hole." St. Martin's Press 0312267649 / 9780312267643
