 Desperately in need of references. Nov 17, 2009
I like Jonny Bowden a lot. He demonstrates a very reasonable attitude towards nutritional and lifestyle interventions for health issues, and never comes off as alarmist. Yet after reading this book, he also strikes me as somewhat hypocritical. In the introduction, he talks about how the mainstream media and medical establishment have selectively interpreted research studies on nutritional therapies to make them seem less effective, and done the same to studies on pharmaceutical interventions to make them seem more effective. The problem is that Bowden may be doing the same thing, albeit in the opposite direction. We have no way to know, because there is not a single footnote in this book, despite the fact that Bowden references research studies quite often. This was also an issue with his 150 healthiest food book, although it was not nearly as problematic there because the book was not explicitly a book on medical treatments. This book also suffers from a lack of organization, and is not as comprehensive as books such as Alan Gaby's Natural Pharmacy, although perhaps that was not its intention. Again, Bowden is a stand up guy. He is to be praised for refusing to promote conspiracy theories about modern medicine, and his conversational tone makes his book a pleasure to read. Next time he writes a book however, he should make more of an effort to incorporate sound scientific practices into its formulation, so that it can truly challenge some of the troubling biases in our healthcare system.
 The Most Effective Natural cures on Earth Jul 14, 2009
The Most Effective Natural cures on Earth. This book is very useful. It is just an explanation of herbs, and the natural way of healing without push someones personal basis. It tell you the best combines and natural treatment without you have to go to someone's website.

 LIve a healthy life Sep 08, 2008
Jonny Bowden has a wonderful style of dispensing information, whether on radio, podcast,website, or in a book. He always manages to educate in an easy to read, and understand, way. He has done it again here. Instead of reaching for another pharmaceutical that may or may not work, and may be fraught with unknown side affects, reach for this book. It is loaded with numerous suggestions of well researched remedies for many ailments. Nature has created a fantastic medicine cabinet that seems to have gotten lost in the shuffle of big pharma ads and claims. Authors like Jonny have given us the opportunity to take back control of our health through natural methods. This should be in everyone's health library.
