TO THE MEMORY OF:

TOM FERGUSON, MD

A dear friend, colleague, and coauthor. He shared our goal of providing people with the tools they need to make informed health decisions. Tom had an unshakeable belief in asking people what health information they wanted to know instead of assuming that he knew what they needed. He had a vision of a new paradigm of health care where patients and professionals would collaborate as equals.

His curiosity was limitless and he generated ideas effortlessly. He was never condescending, always caring and compassionate. Tom had a brilliant mind and a gentle soul. We miss his passion, creativity, enthusiasm, and childlike delight in life.

CONTENTS
IMPORTANT NOTE TO READERS

T his book is not a substitute for the medical advice or care of a physician or other health-care professional. The reader must consult a physician in matters relating to his or her health, especially with regard to any signs or symptoms that may require diagnosis or medical attention. Any health problems that do not get better promptly or that get worse should be evaluated by an appropriate clinician and treated properly.

Home remedies are rarely tested in a scientific manner. They should never be used in lieu of suitable medical care. Information about adverse reactions or interactions with herbs, over-the-counter drugs, dietary supplements, or prescription medications is often lacking. The reader should not assume that the herbs, dietary supplements, home remedies, or drugs that are discussed in this book are safe. Every treatment has the potential to cause some side effects for some people.

The summary descriptions of adverse reactions, contraindications, and interactions that are provided with herbs, drugs, dietary supplements, and home remedies are abbreviated and do not represent the entire spectrum of potential problems that could occur. The reader should not assume that because a side effect or interaction is not mentioned in this book, the combination is therefore safe.

If you suspect that you or someone you care for is experiencing an adverse reaction from an herb, drug, dietary supplement, or home remedy, please consult a knowledgeable health professional immediately.
