The philosophy of a nutrition practitioner, who believes that nutrition (i.e., nutrients) can treat specific ailments more efficiently and effectively than conventional medical treatment, is presented. The author states that his recommendations may not be medically acceptable (based on today's standards) because most of the data is "based largely on the anecdotal." The author's goal is to close the gap between the nutritional research (buried in journals) and the public's awareness of the benefits that can be derived from nutritional therapy and treatments. The book is designed for anyone who has suffered from any of the myriad of disorders that are responsive to treatment with diet and nutrients.
