The drug-free guide to better family health.
'Nutritional Medicine' is based on the assumption that many illnesses, mild and chronic, are caused by nutritional imbalance and can be cured or alleviated by correcting the patient's biochemistry. Drs Davies and Stewart reveal why these imbalances occur - addiction to caffeine, tobacco and alcohol, use of the Pill and other drugs, eating over-refined foods, exposure to chemicals and pollution - and how nutritional medicine can effectively treat a wide variety of conditions, from arthritis to hyperactivity or even schizophrenia.
They explain how we can all become healthier by taking certain measures, dietary ones included, to make us more resistant to the stresses of modern life - especially important in pregnancy, childhood and old age - and how a doctor who practises nutritional medicine will assess how a patient functions best, adjusting their needs carefully, scientifically and without the use of drugs.
