Overview

THE HEALING POWER OF NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENTS

Long a champion of complementary medicine and nutritional therapy, Dr. Robert Atkins, author of the #1 best-seller Dr. Atkins' New Diet Revolution, presents the scientific basis for the use of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, herbs, and hormones in the treatment and prevention of many of the chronic illnesses that plague us today. These vita-nutrients harness the body's ability to heal itself, rather than resorting to conventional drugs and invasive procedures, and address the true causes of disease instead of temporarily alleviating symptoms, promoting longer-lasting and more effective healing.

In this comprehensive guide, Dr. Atkins shares vital information on more than 120 supplements, including:

  • The specific restorative powers of each nutrient
  • How to determine the optimal dosage schedule
  • How to obtain supplements that are new to the market or are available only in limited supply
  • The formula for a basic foundation of vita-nutrients that almost everyone needs every day

Best of all, Dr. Atkins shows you how to create a personalized program to help improve or regain your health by using combinations of nutritional supplements specifically designed to help cure or prevent more than fifty common medical conditions, including arthritis, cancer, diabetes, heart disease, or infections. Backed by cutting-edge scientific research, his recommendations are both safe and effective.

"A champion of nutritional therapy since the 1970s, Dr. Atkins has culled information from his personal databank of more than 3,000 nutritional studies, explaining how vita-nutrients work as health treatments."

Synopsis

"This book presents the scientific basis for the function of nutrients as the body's first line of defense against disease, firmly launching nutritional therapy into the mainstream of medical legitimacy." "With his trademark gift for making complex ideas accessible, Dr. Atkins shows how vita-nutrients, which include vitamins, minerals, amino acids, herbs, and hormones, are the treatment of choice for most of the chronic illnesses that plague us today. In some cases, he asserts, they can even supersede the drugs and invasive procedures that are so commonly and casually prescribed. In this book, Dr. Atkins presents a comprehensive guide to more than a hundred supplements that, because they address the true causes of disease instead of temporarily alleviating symptoms, promote longer-lasting, more effective healing. You'll learn the specific restorative powers of each nutrient; how to determine the optimal dosage schedule; how to obtain nutrients that are new to the market or in limited supply; and how to determine which supplements are of the best quality and which manufacturers are reputable." "Dr. Atkins encourages you to use this vital information by creating a personalized program to help you regain or improve your health."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
