Yost "Nutri-Cures" is a must-have resource for self care. It's an informative, well-written, and well-researched guide that tells you what to eat and what supplements to take to help avoid and treat the myriad health issues common today, such as diabetes, heart disease, celiac, cancer, and depression. The prescriptive advice on Alzheimer's disease is most interesting.
