I have your book, “Ototoxic Drugs Exposed” and know you address many herbal remedies. Is there a book that addresses all herbal remedies that can be used in place of prescription medication and ailments that you recommend? I like to stay away from medications if I can.
There are many excellent herbal reference books available. I don’t have time to read/use them all. However, here are four of the main books I commonly use. In no particular order they are:

Note that all these books are available in several editions. The above links are to the cheapest (1st) editions. You can get the latest edition and pay the current price. However, if you don’t have the “big bucks” for a current edition, you have two options. Either purchase a new copy of an earlier edition for a few bucks, or get a used copy of an earlier edition for just pennies. In fact, you can get the first editions of all the above books for just 1 cent each (plus postage of $3.99 per book). So choose the edition that fits your pocketbook. They all contain excellent information—no matter what the edition, although the latest edition will be more up to date than an earlier edition.
Even so, 4 books for just 4 cents (plus postage) is a great deal, especially where you health is concerned.
