The authors state that their goal is primarily preventative, although their research and advice suggest that it is also applicable to those with existing medical conditions. Genetic predispositions tend to make many people highly resistant to prescription medications and, indeed, those medications may actually make the symptoms worse in many people with allergies and intolerance to common prescription medications.

The book is well researched and that should be a comfort for readers looking for reasonable, alternative treatments to common maladies, such as arthritis and various inflammatory conditions. The author's own experience with alternative homeopathic treatments is not "proof" that the treatments work; rather, it is intended as a first-person testimonial that one is wise to take charge of one's own physical condition and to research all methods of treatment.

The reader is urged to look up various studies and to work in conjunction with physicians to reach a reasonable and workable treatment plan in order to minimize symptoms and, in some cases, remediate the underlying conditions which produce the symptoms. It is a book intended for anyone wanting to be fully involved in treatment of their own medical condition.
