Praise for Doctor Yourself: Natural Healing that Works “One of the best. An enormous amount of information on the use of nutrition—orthomolecular medicine—in treating almost all disease. Saul coats his medical advice with wit and humor—important information that is also fun to read about. If every American had a copy of this book, it could change the world as we know it.” —TOWNSEND LETTER FOR DOCTORS AND PATIENTS “Up to date, well put, easy to follow, and if followed, will help readers enhance their degree of health and decrease the possibility of developing serious disease.” —ABRAM HOFFER, M.D., PHD. “What a superb book Doctor Yourself is. I applaud the work, especially its forthright manner of presentation. It should be of enormous value to a vast number of people.” —HUGH D. RIORDAN, M.D. “Fabulous and brilliant. Andrew Saul is educating us to educate ourselves.” —MARGOT KIDDER “Really good advice and loads of it. Thank you for all that you’re doing to educate the public about the most important aspects of how to stay healthy, and avoid medical consequences of the traditional healthcare system.” —DR. JOSEPH MERCOLA “Provocative and exciting. Doctor Yourself: Natural Healing that Works is nutritional medicine in action, and as such deserves a prominent place in the library of anyone serious about self health care.” —VITALITY MAGAZINE “Expertly written. Doctor Yourself is filled from cover to cover with gems of information that aren’t usually discussed in most other nutrition books.” —MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW “Easy to read even though it quotes many scientific studies and research findings. The conversational style gives the reader vivid accounts of patient education and treatment.” —NATIONAL LIBRARY BOARD OF SINGAPORE “Saul uses a sharp wit in advocating for vitamins and attacking the medical and pharmaceutical professions.” —BATAVIA DAILY NEWS “Empowering. An enjoyable, practical and easy-to-read book. I highly recommend this book to everyone, including physicians who wish to provide a comprehensive natural- health care program.” —JOHN I. MOSHER, PHD “Fantastic. Andrew Saul has made a great contribution.” —RONALD HOFFMAN, M.D. “I had been a practicing pediatric gastroenterologist for 25 years. During that time I watched some really beautiful children and young men and women die under my care because I had nothing more to offer, and unfortunately what I had offered many times only made their lives more miserable. Recent health problems led me to read about Linus Pauling and orthomolecular medicine and it has been like discovering an advanced ancient civilization that I had no idea had ever existed. After reading Doctor Yourself by Dr. Andrew Saul, I have become a very angry man. I’ve just realized that for 25 years I had been making my patients sick and big pharma rich. I’ve just realized that those chronic hepatitis patients that died waiting for a liver transplant could have been easily cured with vitamin C. I realize now that my toximolecular medical education only led me to do more harm than good. That is not a good feeling to have. I only wish that all my critically ill patients had read Dr. Saul’s book and fired their doctor. Doctor Yourself in fact has inspired me to now open an exclusive orthomolecular medicine practice for children and adults of all ages, and copies of the book will be in the waiting room for all to read. In the names of all those I didn’t help before, I hope this time to make a difference.” —EDWARD CICHOWICZ, MD, PEDIATRIC GASTROENTEROLOGIST Doctor Yourself has been translated into Spanish, Italian, Hindi, and Chinese.
