Read an Excerpt

Chapter 1: The Treatment of Choice
Have you ever read or received advertisements proclaiming 'Breakthrough!!! Natural treatments your doctor won't tell you about! Safer revolutionary treatment for heart disease, cancer, fatigue or what-have-you'?

Chapter 1: The Treatment of Choice, Part 2
By contrast, mainstream medicine's treatment of choice for fluid retention is the diuretic, a drug that also encourages excretion - not by allowing our cells to function more healthfully, but by impairing the kidneys' ability to reabsorb and hold on



Book Description

The Healing Power of Nutritional Supplements

Long a champion of complementary medicine and nutritional therapy, Dr. Robert Atkins, author of the #1 best-seller Dr. Atkins' New Diet Revolution, presents the scientific basis for the use of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, herbs, and hormones in the treatment and prevention of many of the chronic illnesses that plague us today. These vita-nutrients harness the body's ability to heal itself, rather than resorting to conventional drugs and invasive procedures, and address the true causes of disease instead of temporarily alleviating symptoms, promoting longer-lasting and more effective healing.

In this comprehensive guide, Dr. Atkins shares vital information on more than 120 supplements, including:

  • The specific restorative powers of each nutrient

  • How to determine the optimal dosage schedule

  • How to obtain supplements that are new to the market or are available only in limited supply

  • The formula for a basic foundation of vita-nutrients that almost everyone needs every day

Best of all, Dr. Atkins shows you how to create a personalized program to help improve or regain your health by using combinations of nutritional supplements specifically designed to help cure or prevent more than fifty common medical conditions, including arthritis, cancer, diabetes, heart disease, or infections. Backed by cutting-edge scientific research, his recommendations are both safe and effective.

About the Author

Robert C. Atkins, M.D.Robert C. Atkins, M.D.

Dr. Robert Coleman Atkins, M.D. (October 17, 1930 - April 17, 2003) was an American doctor and cardiologist, best known for the Atkins Nutritional Approach (or "Atkins Diet"), a popular but controversial way of dieting that entails eating low-carbohydrate, high-fat and high-protein foods.

Atkins graduated from the University of Michigan in 1951 and received a medical degree from Cornell Medical College in 1955, after which he specialized in cardiology and herbal remedies in place of (or before) pharmaceutical drugs, but not limited to acne, cancer, carpal tunnel syndrome, and depression.
