The 24-Hour Pharmacist

From the unique perspective of a credentialed pharmacist who is equally comfortable offering advice on pharmaceutical drugs and natural remedies, THE 24HOUR PHARMACIST is an entertaining guide to the prevention and treatment of common and unusual health conditions. Addressing each area of the body, the book provides insight into and detailed solutions for primary health concerns. Cohen culls the most relevant info from her encyclopedic store of knowledge of both traditional medicine and alternative treatments. Priding herself as a pharmacist who "thinks outside the pill," Cohen believes that medication should be the last resort, taken only after more natural options have been used. While she is not against drugs, she argues that they are often misused. As a result, a section of the book is devoted to providing detailed information on drugs and drug interactions with a particular emphasis on side effects and how they can be ameliorated by supplements or avoided by alternative therapy. With a smart, funny, authoritative voice, THE 24HOUR PHARMACIST provides effective solutions to the most frequently asked health questions and sheds light on the most urgent of health concerns, making it a book that not only satisfies curiosity but also a health manual that offers essential, lifesaving information.
