"Exceptionally well written, organized and presented for the
benefit of the non-specialist general reader with an interest in
weight control . . . an extraordinary and unreservedly recommended
addition to personal, professional, community, college, and
university library Health/Medicine collections and Weight Control
supplemental studies curriculums."--Susan Bethany "Midwest Book
Review (MBR)"
"In a sophisticated yet very accessible manner, Dr. Taylor provides
all the information about the little fern avenca that has the
unique ability to block calories - fats, sugars, and starches -
from absorption from the gut, thereby reducing weight. In addition
to this benefit, avenca's other benefits include anti-aging action,
treatments of nephrolithiasis, UTIs, diabetes, hair loss, asthma,
hypertension and heart disease, wound healing problems,
antibacterial actions, hypothyroidism - quite an impressive list of
benefits. This is a solid little book that brings attention to yet
another excellent herbal remedy about which we should all be aware.
Dr Taylor's discussion is lucid, thorough, and illuminating."--
"Grady Harp, top book reviewer"
