Health and wellness is an issue that touches us all. For this reason, I recommend that every believing community, and if possible, every person and family own Prescription for Nutritional Healing, Fifth Edition: A Practical A-to-Z Reference to Drug-Free Remedies Using Vitamins, Minerals, Herbs & Food Supplements
It’s the best work that I know of on the subject of preventative alternative medicines as well as specific prescriptions for healing and wellness. Virtually every sickness, illness, and disease is covered with the best research available on how to prevent and treat it with natural remedies.
I’ve seen some infomercials touting similar books. But they are snake oil.
This one is the real deal. Don’t be without it. It’s a life-saver as far as I’m concerned.
If you’re looking for a gift for friends and loved ones (or for yourself), this book is a great choice.

Christian Post Interview: The Magnum Opus
Awesome recommendation! As a professional “natural healer” (God does the healing, we are just instruments to that end), I highly recommend it. And for those who want to touch people where they are I highly recommend it as a profession! Broken people come into the store all the time and it’s such a joy and privilege to end up sharing the One who can heal the root of their issues. Most physical manifestations of disease have a spiritual root, ( anger, bitterness, woundedness stored in the tissue memory from past abuse, etc) and it is awesome to watch Jesus heal as the spirit heals. Thanks Frank for promoting the things God put on this earth for healing!
A good companion book would be Nourishing Traditions by Fallon. It’s a cookbook with tons of solid information in the sidebars and introductions. This also is the ‘real deal’ with most other diets/cookbooks being snake oil– whether from the nutritional establishment or the alternative community. It was co-written by Mary Enig, one of the foremost experts in the U.S. on fats, and the lady who devoted 30 years of her life to educating people on the dangers of trans-fats.
It will help you get your nutrition from real traditional super-foods, not pills.
Thanks, brother, for sharing this link. I did not know there was a book like that, and I would have probably not bought it not trusting the ads. But based on your recommendation and the many positive reviews on Amazon, I decided to get it. Thanks again!
Thanks! I’ve been using this book for probably 15 years — it’s very helpful to know different ways of handling a health issue.
Also am enjoying Body Reflexology (my son’s stubborn cough got a little better but would NOT go away for 3 weeks with other remedies and then we did the reflexology for ‘coughs.’ Within an hour he turned and said, “Mom! I’m not coughing.)
I love these natural treatments. The Amish are brilliant resources as well.
Thanks, Frank. I’m right there with you!

Frank thanks for sharing this book! Alternative medicines have been shunned and avoided because many think that the ideas and research is just a bunch of quackery: “This is the stuff of hippies!” For the past two years I started working a health food chain in Orange County, CA. I worked for many years as a store manager working at a traditional grocery store selling traditional groceries and health care aids. My vitamin section at this traditional store was maybe 12 feet. The store I am at now is expansive and the vitamins and supplement section runs for multiple aisles. I am still learning all the ins and outs of alternative supplements. But what I am seeing is many people living healthy lives because they know how to care for their needs. These people eat well. Rarely do I have someone shop my store that is obese.
What I am learning is that this alternative culture is teaching me how to be healthy. And in turn I get to be a part of a store that helps others find the supplements found in this book.
Finally, as a side note, as a pastor I have been given a unique opportunity to minister to this culture. There is a bit of hippie in our stores with an openness to anything spiritual. I am learning to listen and when appropriate, I am getting opportunities to share my spiritual journey with others.
Frank,
Thanks for sharing this. I think a book like this will be helpful this winter with all the illnesses going around.

Frank,
I too have had this book for over a decade and found it to be very helpful. Similar to your recent post about the Church needing to share in one another’s material difficulties during these challenging economic times, I believe the Church should also share in growing one another’s understanding of health and wellness. In my experience, God’s people are often sidelined because of health issues that are largely preventable and correctable. I think seeing a healthier body of Christ will require some critical thinking on the subject (with the aid of the H.S. of course) and a willingness to be counter-cultural at times as well.
Thanks for bringing up this subject. I’d be interested to see more posts on the topic.
Thanks for the recommendation Frank, I’ve been looking for a book like this for a while now. I will definitely look into it.
