Ginseng: A Concise Handbook provides comprehensive information on all aspects of the plant which from ancient times the Chinese have regarded as a cure for most infirmities known to man, and that was known to the Cherokees as the "Plant of Life." In this book, James Duke examines ginseng's history, taxonomy, chemistry, and pharmacology, surveys the economics of ginseng cultivation, and compares its properties with those of the humble carrot. The book also contains a chapter on Pathogens by Melodie Putnam. Applying a healthy scientific scepticism to some of the wilder claims made for ginseng by its growers and devotees, Dr Duke throws light on exactly what is known to us today about this ancient plant. He also analyzes the intricacies of differentiating American ginseng (Panax quinequefolius) and its oriental counterpart (Panax ginseng) -- a question which has puzzled many. (The Latin name Panax derives from the Greek word "panacea.") In this objective presentation, James Duke has rendered a service not only to those interested in examining the properties of ginseng, but to all those concerned with the intriguing relationship between the world of herbs and human health.

With uncertainty of the use of synthetic statins to prevent heart attacks and the lack of proof that statins lessen the risks of heart attack in women, if not sometimes in men, many are looking for alternatives. Is your doctor, or the FDA, or you sure that the synthetic statin is preventing heart atttacks? Has your doctor, he or she, told you thatthere is no proof that statins lessen the risks of heart attack in women, if sometimes not in men? Has he or she told you that the following wholesome foods lower the bad LDL cholesterol and raise the good HDL and have fewer negative side effects? Maybe they are even better than the statinsyour doctor prescribes.
