Para que esta obra pueda ser una guía práctica, el autor ha limitado deliberadamente el contenido a aquellos remedios más comúnmente utilizados para permitir un fácil y ágil manejo y así encontrar rápidamente la descripción de un determinado remedio o lo que hacer en un determinado caso. El libro, ordenado alfabéticamente, contiene dos partes bien diferenciadas. La primera, la materia médica, trata el estudio simplificado de las principales propiedades terapéuticas de los remedios homeopáticos más empleados. La segunda, léxico terapéutico, presenta dónde podrán encontrarse los diferentes remedios indicados en el tratamiento de cada tipo de dolencia.

Al final de la obra hay una serie de consejos razonables y prácticos ofrecidos por dos farmacéuticos homeópatas.

Simple steps for getting well, staying well and gaining vitality for a long and healthy life based on the teachings of legendary holistic healer and pioneering nutritionist Hazel Parcells.

Dr. Hazel Parcells, the revered “grand dame of alternative medicine,” who healed herself of “terminal” tuberculosis when she was 42 years old, inspired several generations of nutritionists, and lived to the age of 106 by following a dramatically effective set of straightforward nutritional practices.

In this practical and motivating guide, Dr. Parcells’s longtime student Joseph Dispenza distills more than sixty-five years of her groundbreaking research on natural health and the chemistry of foods into seven practices that are remarkably easy to integrate into daily routines.

How do you explain individualized, tailored, and customized nutrition in plain language to parents, children, and food retailers and to your own healthcare practitioner?

Is it a scientific fact, metabolic reality, common sense, or cultural practice that reports of eating a lot of meat by a metabolic-typed carbohydrate type person might turn to fat, whereas eating mostly vegetables and fruits by a protein-type person might turn to fat because the carbohydrate-type person may be a slow oxidizer of sugar but the protein-type person may be a fast oxider of sugar? (Sugar perhaps would hit the bloodstream faster, causing spikes in insulin due to possible insulin resistance.) Tests can determine how you metabolize foods.

Would a nutrigenomics-oriented genetic test of specific markers give clues? Or would measuring the insulin response after eating sweets reveal sugar spikes that a fasting glucose blood test might not show on paper?

What's out there to learn about dangerous eating, food misinformation, and healing foods? Is it true that one person's dangerous foods are another person's healing foods based on metabolic and genetic body types? Is it true that specific foods turn into fuel for one person but become fat for another individual?
