This was my introduction to Gary Null, and I must say it was quite an intro!
When he says this is a "Complete Guide" he is not kidding. Everything from fingernail care to Cancer is covered in this massive tome. For the person looking for alternatives to traditional medical care, medical care that the rest of the world outside the USA uses, and the legacy of knowledge passed down from old generations, this is a vital resource. Null did his homework for this book, and gives reference after reference for each of the types of care that a person needs, as well as different alternatives for almost every problem. Bring a pen and take notes!
There is some outdated information in this book, especially related to longevity and free radicals/antioxidants. For example, the discovery of Trans-Resveratrol and NMN were not around when this book went to publication, but the idea of consuming wine grapes is inside this book, which is related. Overall, the science is there, so there is no need to worry if you are being sold snake-oil.
What a tremendous resource, highly recommended.

This is quite an exhaustive book covering about every topic on health issues imaginable. How much is actually useful is another story. Traditional medicine certainly has gaps that a holistic or preventive approach can fill and that is pretty much the gist of the book. Natural foods and sources along with heavy emphasis on vitamins in various quantities is often the solution presented. In fact following any number of these approaches would involve ingesting quite a lot of these vitamin pills. How effective the cures and remedies might be is up to the individual to experiment with and decide. And with limitations in traditional medicine for some these answers may be what is needed.
