Preface
Health is a subject that rightly pre-occupies many of us and which presently receives vast media attention, from newspapers, radio and television. There is little doubt that most people are generally confused as to what exactly alternative medicine stands for, about which foods form a healthy diet, which supplements or medicines one ought to use, whether to visit the doctor, homeopath, chemist or health shop. It is hardly surprising that confusion reigns supreme when the media presents often erroneous information on natural medicine and appears to understand so little about the subject. Further more, there is no end to the number of health product companies exhorting the public to buy the answer to all their problems with promises of health, beauty, vitality and long-life. Just what is the public to do when confronted by teeming shelves of invitingly packaged and forcefully advertisied health and beauty aids? It isn't surprising that people are somewhat bemused by it all.
This book is a simple effort to clarify some of the issues involved and to help bring the individual to a greater understanding of the philosophy of 'natural' or 'alternative' medicine and the role of diet and lifestyle in health and disease.
