Product Description
As a pharmacist for almost two decades, Suzy Cohen knows that medication can often be invaluable. But she has also learned to "think outside the pill" and recommend natural options that are often just as good or better at promoting health without the risk of dangerous, drug-induced side effects. In this comprehensive, one-of-a-kind resource, she answers such questions as: - How can I stop my husband/wife from snoring?
- Are vitamin pills worth it or worthless?
- Are there alternatives to antidepressants?
- What kind of surge protection is there for hot flashes?
- How can I train my body to lose fat?

this is the book I took with me on vacation March 16, 2010
Frauke Rosenthal (MA)
there is a lot of information here.
The style is a little cutesy but there is a lot of meat there.
A lot to learn and impossible to remember it all. So it is a companion.

For the profressional or the lay person, an enjoyable and easy read as well as a great reference. It makes about as much sense for the doctor to have total responsiblity for our overall health as the dentist does for our teeth! This book is an absolute must to help gain control of your health from every angle.

 I WAS SO DISAPPOINTED IN THIS BOOK AND HER OTHER ONE September 19, 2009

i was very bummed out with her views. i ended up ordering both of her books. very complicated to find the info. that you need. i feel that she's more into 'hawking' organic solutions and alot of expensive supplementa. and it's almost like a puzzle with owning both of their books. they'll refer you to pgs. in the other book. i take alot of prescriptions and had to make sure that what she was telling us to take, was #1. ok to mix together. and #2.) the vitamins and supplement that she suggests are a sm. fortune to purchase. and her DOCTOR hubby is a chiropractor. my brother is a trauma surgeon and has been for many yrs. in tx. HIS JOB IS STRESSFUL BUT HE LOVES IT. i hardly think that they're too stressed out except selling their books and their theories. BAA HUMM BUGG

This book is very interesting and also educational,written by a pharmacist,she tells about some alternative things you can do for a medical problem that are not drugs.Also just tips you can do to keep yourself healthy,and the drug muggers-drugs that cause problems in your body. My daughter liked it so much, that I got one for her.She covers subjects from menopause to insomnia to osteoporosis to snoring and others.Obviously I love this book!! Joy B.
"Think outside the pill . . . " May 26, 2009

Anybody ever have a side effect from taking meds? For years I took theophyllin for asthma, until I self-diagnosed that this medicine was the cause of my rising blood pressure. My doctor at the time told me I would have to take it for the rest of my life, which probably would have been pretty short if I'd listened only to him. Instead, I researched the side effects of the drug, and sought out the opinion of another doctor. Today I am totally off it, and doin' just fine . . . no wheezing or other breathing difficulties, and my blood pressure, while still higher than what I want it to be, is 40 points lower without taking medication to lower it.
Suzy is a pharmacist who tells us to "think outside the pill," and gives us the knowledge needed to accomplish that goal. She tells us about plant extracts, vitamins, herbs, aromatherapy, and supplements. Her expose on osteoporosis (another of my hereditary risks) is the best I've seen. I didn't really care for Kevin Trudeau's book on natural cures, which totally bashed traditional medicine. However, through my career as a healthcare recruiter, I have seen the pharmaceutical reps toting in food and other treats to physician practices and ancillary hospital departments. They are not doing this to be nice, but to encourage the staff to pedal the drugs they sell. So Kevin's right about that. Suzy's book, however, give us the best of both worlds . . . natural cures and traditional medicine, and any holistic physician will tell you there's a time for both. Suzy shares her vast knowledge of natural cures and medicine, backing it up with well-reputed studies. If you're looking for solutions in a pill, this isn't the book for you. But if you like to manage your own health, with the help of well-educated professionals, this is a resource you shouldn't be without. Buy it, read it, and age well!
