The World's Greatest Treasury Of Health Secrets

A fine collection of many little known facts. Each topic is short and to the point. I keep the book on my night stand and read something from the book every night. Great book. L

Find grandma's solutions to most illnesses and pain remedies. Health Secrets Explained and Cures Found will be addressed throughout this great book.A great buy for the money!

I bought this book out of pure curiosity to see whether how much was quackery and how much of the book was clinical pearls. I thought it might be good point of departure for debunking medical myths. And no, this is definitely NOT a medical textbook per se, but I think it deserves more credit than many reviewers gave it. Sure, some of the information should be fairly common knowledge by well informed, and some information may lean towards the 'alternative' branch of medicine (which I consider to be quackery until & unless clinical studies show efficacy at which time it becomes orthodox), and some of the data may be self contradictory, but that is the nature of a 'Reader's Digest' type book which is compiled from writings of many different clinicians.I have not read the entire book, but there were quite a few things I didn't know in this book and plan to read more as I have time. I just scanned sections here and there, so I cannot vouch for the credentials of the authors. But most of what I read seemed fairly reasonable and in line with what I knew from elsewhere. In other words, there were few to none of the wild claims usually offered by some less-than-reputable purveyors of medical cure alls.It is a bit dated of course. And if you have multiple health magazine subscriptions that you have been reading faithfully for years, you probably won't pick up much earthshaking in this book, but I would bet that the majority of people could do worse than to read this as an introductory owner's manual to their bodies.

The World's Greatest Treasury of Health Secrets has much good information and it seemed best for someone who is just starting to do self care in regards to their health. I have been at it for 30 years with great results. The Journey to Health is worth the time and effort. I highly recommend if you are just starting, use this book. There is a lot to learn about healthy habits, simple steps to care for yourself and information about all kinds of illness and how-to information. You have to start somewhere. Start here!!

Purchased book slightly used and it looks great. I look forward to reading through it.

I bought this book used for $7.00, including shipping. That was about $6.95 too much! Almost all of the book is just stuff you can 'find' on the internet and just as useless, IMHO. Most things are 'solved' by; eat right, exercise, and see a doctor. I have yet to read anything that explicitly says to perform specific tasks to accomplish any goal, that doesn't sound like the tasks were listed by a voodoo witch from Haiti (LOL).Apparently, the previous owner felt the same way, as the book was in like-new condition. Maybe it was new, but the jacket was removed to make it look used.All in all, for me, the poorest choice of something to spend money on in over 10 years. I get more utility out of a stick of chewing gum than I do this useless book!

This book came to me highly recommended by a friend. I agree with my friend a great book of knowledge.

Terrific book! Easy to read and understand with lots and lots of great information on a variety of health and medical issues. Presents both sides of arguments on controversial subjects.
