Dr. Joseph E. Pizzorno, ND

Editor-in-Chief, Integrative Medicine: A Clinician’s Journal

Dr. Joseph Pizzorno, ND is a transformational leader in medicine. As founding president of Bastyr University in 1978, he coined the term “science-based natural medicine” which set the foundation for Bastyr to become the first accredited institution in this field anywhere in the world. This validated that medicine which promotes health rather than primarily disease treatment could be credibly taught, researched and practiced. As co-author of the Textbook of Natural Medicine (first edition 1985, 5th edition 2020) he helped established the scientific foundation for health promotion medicine. With over 100,000 copies sold in 4 languages (over half to MDs), it not only helped reestablish naturopathic medicine as an important part of the healthcare system, but also provided the scientific foundation for the transformational fields of integrative and functional medicine throughout the world.
A naturopathic physician (licensed in WA state since 1975), educator, researcher and expert spokesman, he is Editor-in-Chief of PubMed-indexed IMCJ, Board Chair of the Institute for Functional Medicine, founding board member of American Herbal Pharmacopeia, and a member of the science boards of the Hecht Foundation, Gateway for Cancer Research and Bioclinic Naturals. He was appointed by Presidents Clinton and Bush to 2 prestigious government commissions to advise the President and Congress on how to integrate natural medicine into the healthcare system. He is author or co-author of 6 textbooks for doctors (most recent Clinical Environmental Medicine) and 7 consumer books (Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine [>2 million copies in 6 languages]; most recent, The Toxin Solution).

an excellent book that everyone needs

this book is an excellent complement to your general physician(GP).

Your GP is an expert in diagnosis. (S) He has many years of training in diagnosis and acute medicine. The problem is, once the diagnosis is made, the treatment options are determined by the pharmaceutical companies. Your GP has to choose 1 of the options they recommend. Pharmaceutical companies will only work with synthetic chemicals, because these are the only chemicals that they can patent, and protect their profits.

Substances that occur naturally in the body, cannot be patented by the pharmaceutical companies, so they are not interested in treatment involving boosting your body's natural systems. This means that GPs are not allowed to take this treatment approach. GPs have to follow the guidance given by pharmaceutical companies.

So if you have a chronic problem, get a diagnosis from your GP. Then consider the pharmaceutical option by looking at the actual clinical trial result to see how effectively the pharmaceutical option works. Most pharmaceutical options only work for around 50% of the population, and Harvard Medical School has researched that around 50% of the benefit of common pharmaceuticals (other than antibiotics) comes from the placebo effect.

If you are not happy with the clinical trial results, look at the naturally occurring chemicals that can be boosted by using the foods and supplements recommended in this book. This book both covers the treatment and explains the chemical pathways involved, and provides supporting research evidence.

I have successfully used this book to address a number of conditions where the pharmaceutical approach has failed.

Astonishingly comprehensive book - excellent value for money!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 October 2021

This huge book (1219 pages) is very comprehensive - with only one omission that I noticed - that is epilepsy (so I looked it up online). I think this is a useful addition to any bookshelf - and it is really astounding value for money!! I find the nutritional supplement advice, dietary advice and botanical medicine advice to be the most useful of all - thank you Drs Murray and Pizzorno. (I cannot imagine how long it took to write!).

This paperback book, all 1219 pages of it was highly recommended to me by a Health Food guru I visit from time to time. I had expressed a wish to be more informed before calling in by to purchase his products. This book does that in spades, giving descriptions of conditions and the (preferred) road to alleviate the symptoms. I cannot recommend this book enough, it is very good at what it was written to convey. The Seller was prompt in dispatching it too.

Fabulous book. Extensive information covering a host of conditions. Very thick and heavy, so one for the desk/clinic, not ideal to carry to college!
