Select Reviews
This book is densely filled with great information for the person who wants to know more about how prescription, OTC and alternative medicines work and how it effects the human body. It is written for a massage therapist, but I think the everyone who takes medication or has family members who take medication should invest in a similar book (for example, The PDR, or The PDR Family Guide). I spent a lot of serious, quiet time reading this book, taking breaks, and highlighting, so I could appreciate all the info. Definitely worth the brain space. 🙂
