I have wanted this book for a long time. I don’t like to take medications including over-the-counter ones, so I’m going to enjoy having quick natural remedies on my book shelf. I haven’t had time to read it yet as I just got it. I bought one for my daughter, too, since she has 4 children & a husband. Something is always going on at their house.
I read your column online & find it very helpful!

I’m so glad I purchased this book. I have high blood pressure and high cholesterol and was looking for natural remedies. I immediately changed my eating habits and am now feeling much better. This book is very informative about the impact of your food choices on your overall health.

I’ve been meaning to buy this book for quite some time. I’m glad I finally did. It is an excellent resource and anyone who is aware of the side effects of numerous drugs on the market should check this book’s contents first. You may still need a prescription drug but you may not. It is definitely worth a look.
Excellent -- common sense -- easy to read -- thank you Joe and Terry Graedon.

I originally, bought this book 13 years ago.
I have been waiting for the updated and revised version. So much of the current research — over the past 12 years — may not be covered in this 2006 publication version.
Is there a date set for a revised edition?
THE PEOPLES PHARMACY - QUICK AND EASY HOME REMEDIES
Dennis
Delavan, WI
Your “easy to remember each part” book entitled “Quick and Handy Home Remedies” recently saved my life.
I had made a habit of reading from it at bedtime and easily memorized a part each night. I feel I can now quickly react to urgencies and emergencies as they arise from day to day.
Updated information from my old book?

I own and love your book, Best Choices from The People’s Pharmacy. It has been a help to both to me and my husband over the years. However, it was published in 2006, so I’m wondering if this current book has updated information?
I’m sure the good old folk remedies remain the same and are effective for many of us. Does this new book have new information and new things learned? Thanks for your unique contribution to everyone’s health! – Linda Collins Thomas

So far, I have tried 6 of the remedies in this book. You have not let me down. A win every time. Every family should own this book.
Forget scientific.
Noreen

It is great to rely on treatments that do not include pharmaceuticals. The fewer meds, the better. If an RN is seeking scientific backing for these remedies that work, he or she needs to get a clue by the name of this site. It is not The Doctor’s Pharmacy. Scientific, indeed!
A must have!

I am still exploring all the information in the book but so far have found it to be a good source of useful information. I do wish there were more detailed information on what are the scientific basis for some of the information as well as how helpful some people have found the suggestions. As a Registered Nurse, the why & how are important to me.

I love the book. I use the mustard for leg cramps often and it always works, also the cough (vicks on the feet) which also works. I also tried the raisins before bedtime and only had to get up once. Thank you so much.

And as soon as I was done with it I ordered a copy for a friend. And now I’m thinking Christmas presents for some neighbors.
Keep up the good work.

Just curious
Bob

Curiosity prompted the purchase. Glad I bought it. As a kid (seven decades ago) I was exposed to some pretty off-beat cures from healers in the Georgia swamps. Most worked. Your book is an entertaining read, as is your column. The hint to put a bar of soap under the bottom bed sheet actually worked! My wife hasn’t had leg cramps since we tried it. Psychological? Beats me. But it worked.

Very Interesting
Susan D

I am enjoying the book, which I bought because I enjoy your informative weekly column. I asked my podiatrist about the various OTC and home remedies for a stubborn toenail fungus, and he said, “Can’t hurt to try”. I have used the amber Listerine soak with some success and plan to try the Vapo-rub. I had used Lamisil in the past but I dislike taking more pills, with all their side effects. And the fungus came back when I quit the pills! So I am very interested in proven remedies from “The People”! Keep up the good work!
Wonderful

great book – I’m 77 years old and in fairly good health – am only taking a few meds – though i have a long history with lymphoma which I have survived for 13 years – I will refer to this before I run to the drugstore when I have a ache or pain – think this would be a great christmas gift – not only for seniors but for the young people, great find.

After reading the Graedon’s column in the newspaper and finding so many things of interest I bought the book and have used it for myself or given information to others many, many times. If one is interested in trying something besides another pill, this is a great resource. We worry about our health, what we eat, what we breathe but yet forget to use the ways to wellness our ancestors used for hundreds of years before the pharmaceutical industry took over.
Your book is an excellent resource for home remedies

I purchased this book for my Mom. She reads and saves all of your columns.and has done so for years. I thought this would be great for her, because all of your advice would be in one place. It is great, it is easy to reference and the print is great. She still clips and saves… Your book is an excellent resource for home remedies. I myself read your column.

This is my second copy, I gave the first one to a friend. So, of course, I think highly of it.
On the other hand, I have a complaint about the website. The text is too light and strains my eyes. Please use a bolder text.
Totally Awesome

I like reading about natural remedies to medical problems. I eat organic and I don’t take any kind of medication over the counter or prescription unless absolutely necessary. I found some new information in the book that I will try. I recommend the book to anyone who is interested in using natural products to cure problems. The book is reasonably priced as well.

Very Interesting Read. I have already adopted several of the methods mentioned in it, time will tell how effective they will be but it’s worth a shot. Short articles are perfect for people like me who may have a touch of attention deficit disorder….no cure for that in the book though! I have read excerpts from the book in the newspaper and am happy to have now bought the book.

There are books and then there are very useful books. The latest issue of The People’s Pharmacy Quick and Handy Home Remedies is just loaded with useful remedies on hundreds of items. It is easy to read using simple words on a huge number of subjects. Now we need to give one to our doctors and pharmacists. They could benefit themselves and their customers! Drug companies beware.

I have used a lot of these same helpful hints for so many in my family. Now even the younger kids come and ask “GG,” what would help their problems, and I go right to your book and find the answer. Great book should be on everyone’s table. So much better to be able to heal or help something with using natural ingredients instead of chemicals.

It’s very interesting and helpful. My husband is taking cinnamon capsules to lower blood sugar, and is eating almonds after meals and cutting back on Prilosec for acid reflux. We are also eating walnuts as a good source of omega 3. It is helpful to have several options given, since different people are helped by different things.

The book is practical and effective. We made the Thyme tea for our coughs and it was better than any over the counter cough suppressant! We read wisdom and common sense on every page. The Certo-tart cherry juice seems to help our arthritis as well. Keep open minds and the good work Terry and Joe. Roslyn S.

Very well written, and full of the natural remedies that I was hoping to find. I’m always willing to try whatever Peoples Pharmacy readers are talking about if it’s related to a problem I have. I’m definitely into the soap in the bed, golden raisins soaked in juniper berry gin, and others. Natural is always better. Good book. I highly recommend it.

Well written helpful information, easily accessible. Lays out the findings from research studies, but is not afraid to include anecdotal information supplied by readers – along with usual caveats to consults with one’s physician. I find it very refreshing to have a resource to consult for natural remedies. It never hurts to try those first.

This is an excellent guide for anyone who wants to dispel old wives’ tales…and haven’t we all heard and feared them.
The book is more a “discussion” than telling. It’s a great book and will remain on my book shelf for easy reference. I like the questions people have sent you both and you have included them in the book. That’s what I mean about “discussion”.
Thank you, Joe and Terry.
