Download or read book Carlton Fredericks' Nutrition Guide for the Prevention and Cure of Common Ailments and Diseases written by Carlton Fredericks and published by Touchstone. This book was released on 1982 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: The philosophy of a nutrition practitioner, who believes that nutrition (i.e., nutrients) can treat specific ailments more efficiently and effectively than conventional medical treatment, is presented. The author states that his recommendations may not be medically acceptable (based on today's standards) because most of the data is "based largely on the anecdotal." The author's goal is to close the gap between the nutritional research (buried in journals) and the public's awareness of the benefits that can be derived from nutritional therapy and treatments. The book is designed for anyone who has suffered from any of the myriad of disorders that are responsive to treatment with diet and nutrients. It is not a book on self-medication but a guide to help those who want to apply nutrition to their treatment and to help correct irrational nutritional choices of the past. A doctor should be consulted prior to implementing the suggestions offered in this book. (kbc).
