Healthy Digestion the Natural Way: Preventing and Healing Heartburn, Constipation, Gas, Diarrhea, Inflammatory Bowel and Gallbladder Diseases, Ulcers, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, and More
A complete guide to healing your digestive problems, once and for all--safely, inexpensively, naturally Good digestion is fundamental to good health, and even such common problems as chronic heartburn and gas can have harmful effects on virtually every cell in your body. Quick fixes such as over-the-counter and prescription medications don't address the real causes of the problems: they only mask symptoms. Nature, on the other hand, offers a variety of gentle, readily available remedies that not only treat underlying digestive problems but also help to promote overall well-being. Learn about natural solutions and how to put them to work for you in Healthy Digestion the Natural Way. Dr. D. Lindsey Berkson clearly and simply explains the normal digestive processes and what can happen to interfere with them. Then, drawing upon her decades of research and clinical experience successfully treating thousands of sufferers of digestive problems--many of whom had exhausted all the standard medical solutions--she provides: * Easy-to-follow programs for correcting digestive problems without drugs * Specific treatments for gas, heartburn, constipation, inflammatory bowel disease, ulcers, gallbladder disease, food allergies, and more * Natural remedies, including diet, exercise, mind-body and breathing techniques, and reflexology * Guidelines on how to design a naturally healthy diet tailored to your unique physical makeup, problems, and tastes
Finally a helpful book anyone can understand. Lots of informative sections on everything from gallbladder attachs, IBS, to ulcers. I often refer to this book whenever I am not feeling well. I have owned it for a year now and will never part with it. I also recommend NO MORE HEARTBURN, by Sherry Rogers, M.D. Why don't doctors spend more time educating their patients about healthy digestion and bowel function? If we all understood more, maybe we'd eat better. Everytime I'd gone to the doctor with pains, they'd shoved Prilosec, Nexium, or some other "P" antacid on me. I only got worse. Once I began following the advice in this book by Berkson, the whole world improved.

This book clearly explained and identified sooo many misconceptions I had about the digestive system. I was thrilled with the information I gained and have already put into practice new ways to deal with my personal digestive problems. The results of this change to a natural way (no drugs) has improved my well being a 100 fold. Thanks to the author for writing this book and for the recommendation of this book in a local paper.
Nurse's recommendation

Dr. Lindsey Berkson's digestion book has given me inspiration and motivation to travel the road to sound health for not only the body, but for body, mind, soul and spirit. As a registered nurse, I found Dr. Berkson's book an excellent resource for healing that gives abundant, ready to use, practical information on health for the whole person. This is a book that I do recommend to my nurse colleagues as well as my patients because it is written with great knowledge, wisdom, gentleness and warmth. Thank you Dr. Lindsey Berkson!
Finally! I am no longer confused!

Whoever D.Lindsey Berkson is, I am glad she eixists. A practitioner that makes sense, is easy to understand, and who comes from science and the heart at the same time. Sweet relief. This is the first book that helps me understand why all my other attempts to heal myself have failed. I now get how to take vitamins, home tests for my digestion, and perform home cleansing and rebuilding programs that will make the rest of my healing attempts work. And I love that meditations, affirmation, visualizations and reflex points are given to augment the nutrients and herbs. And it is the easiest format and voice to comprehend what is actually going on. I am only sorry she is no longer in practice. I would go to wherever she was. But I await her next books and her web site with eagerness. Berkson, a job well-cone!
Really helpful for tummy troubles

This is a very user-friendly book, easy to read, with really helpful suggestions for problems. As someone who has dealt with parasites and other digestive ailments like colitis, I found concrete ideas for diet and supplements, as well as references for good labs and other important information. It's well-organized so it's easy to find what you're looking for, and I loved the acknowledgement of the mind/body connection.
