Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I recently received a copy of >Your Inner Pharmacy< and read it in two sittings, which is unusual for me. I was intrigued by the statistics he offers--that nearly a third of the U.S. population suffers from chronic illness, most of which are "lifestyle" illnesses that we could easily cure or prevent with our own lifestyle changes. Also, that the #1 health threat in the U.S. is smoking. I loved the author's clear distinction between "medicine" and "healthcare:" "The field of medicine works to prevent and treat disease. It differs from true healthcare, which promotes health an optimal function of the body." Dr. Blaich's prescriptions for health include massage, chiropractic, acupuncture and other so called alternative practices. He does a great job of explaining--scientifically, but in easy to read layperson's terms--how these health systems work, why they work, and when to use them instead of standard medicine. This book is beautifully written. The greatest thing about it is that it lays out all the information we need to take charge of our own health. This is a book which will be spotlighted on my own health reference shelf for the rest of my life; it is already dogeared and underlined at places I want to remember. I can sincerely recommend it to anyone who wants to map out a healthcare plan for their own life. Many years ago, I co-authored The Well Body Book, with Dr. Mike Samuels. It was a national bestseller and certainly shared Dr. Blaich's approach to health. Your Inner Pharmacy, I must say, is a far better book than my own, giving a very grounded and practical prescription for taking responsibility for our health. I applaud this book enthusiastically and know it will serve thousands of people who want to live healthy lives.
