The People's Pharmacy Quick & Handy Home Remedies

Very useful.

Have read The People's Pharmacy column in the Sunday newspaper for years. Very nice to have this book, and it is organized in an easy-to-read fashion. I have used several of their home remedies and have been pleased. An example? placing a bar of soap under the bed sheet at the bottom to prevent leg cramps. No one knows WHY it works, but it seems to (at least for some people and I am one of them). Sometimes, this knowledge can be very helpful, costs little, and 'does no harm.'

I heard an radio interview about this book and was very intrigued. I ordered for myself and my sisters. It is full of wonderful suggestions and ideas of how people have used baking soda, tenderizer, vinegar, etc. Fortunately I haven't had to try out too many of the suggestions, but the book is now on my kitchen book shelf, handy for reference before I go to my medicine cabinet or the drug store store for specialized products, etc.As always, my order was delivered very quickly and in good shape. I am very pleased that Amazon had it available.

I just recently discovered the book could be ordered on my Kindle. I have bad eyesight and cannot read small print books. I had wanted this book for a long time and didn't know it was available on my Kindle. The Graedon's have an article in our local newspaper each week and I get their newsletter in my e-mail. I am so happy to have it. I refer to it about every day. Love the home remedies.

This book is an excellent source of practical and useful information. Rather than get on the assembly line conveyor belt of modern medicine, which leads through your wallet, look for solutions before you become drug addicted and have traded symptoms that were worse than your original complaint. Love the intention of these author - to make people more self-reliant and confident about their bodies.

Bought this book used, glad I didn't pay full price. Nothing new, not even a mention of athletes foot. It is like a collection of internet cures compiled into a bo9k for profit.

Good tips from readers and natural home remedies to try. Very well laid out with outlines and indexes to go right to the ailment you need to research. JUST WISH THEY COVERED MORE. Hopefully, they will come out with an update or Volume 2 to cover other conditions. Great reference.

This book is full of helpful information. I have tried several of their remedies and found them helpful. I trust the Graedon's. I purchased a copy of this book for myself and then later one for my sister-in-law. I keep my book handy for reference.

This is a marvelous book that describes home remedies that are very practical. I have other books that Joe and Terry Graedon have written - all are excellent! I have been helped, for example, by the suggestion that a dilute solution of vinegar with water is a cure for foot fungus.

If you are a person who likes the 'natural' approach' tobe a viable part of your lifestyle, but are concernedabout the 'source' of the information and the reliabilityand credentials or backgrounds of the 'dispensers ofknowledge'; well all those concerns are laid to rest withthis book and these seasoned authors.The book is full to brimming with many useful tried &true home remedies, some familiar and some not sofamiliar.Always an exciting investigation for me, as I am welleducated in this arena & I respect grounded informationpresented honestly without wild & exaggerated claims.It does not presume to replace the medical field, butworks within its own venue, offering 'alternatives'.A good book to have on the shelf, worth every penny.I recommend confidently.

Helpful tried and tested remedies without making any false medical claims. A useful book to have on your bookshelf for unexpected emergencies or long standing ailments not responding to prescribed medicine.

Very good book

Very interesting and informative book - useful as a reference. Will be referring to it quite a lot for home remedies instead of rushing down to the chemist to buy some expensive medication.
