The Vitamin Prescription (for life)

About the Book

Today, front-page news about medical triumphs not only cover advanced medical breakthroughs but also puts emphasis on the power of nutrition. Discover miracles and stories of natural healing that will surprise and inspire you in The Vitamin Prescription (for life).

For over twenty years of his medical practice, Dr. Firshein often relied on a versatile, hardy, and relatively small army of researched nutrients to do much of the healing work. Nutraceuticals are nutrients that have the capacity to act like medicines. They are “natural” pharmaceuticals.

This miracle—nature’s power to heal—has always been available to us. But it is only now that science has given us the tools to understand the mystery of healing foods and nutrients. Soy, for example, can boost and balance hormones and help prevent cancer. Fish oils and gingko are just some of these “supernutrients” that work wonders for your health.

An excellent resource that’s easy to read and informative, The Vitamin Prescription (for life) offers you a healthy way of eating and living, along with the most powerful nutrients known to medicine. These nutrients are not magic bullets that can work on their own. They need to be accompanied by healthy lifestyle changes, exercise, and stress-reducing activities like meditation and yoga.

If one eats well, lives well, and adds one or more of the necessary “super” supplements, 80% of chronic illnesses can be reversed or prevented entirely. Embrace the nutraceutical revolution and achieve maximum health!
