I love this book! I ordered a copy about a year ago, have been trying the remedies and have not been let down yet. For example, I am easily susceptible to bronchitis that tends to last at least 6 months and becomes severe with no help from pharmaceuticals which just quit working over the years due to over-medication. Dr. Duke suggests honeysuckle tea and says it's been used in China for centuries, so I ordered some (from teacuppa.com) and it works! Within 3 days of drinking 2-3 cups a day I notice a significant improvement each time I use it. If I take at the first sign of minor bronchial irritation, the irritation is completely gone within 3 days; however, with a more serious bought of chest congestion due to a head cold, it's not gone after 3 days but I'm not hacking up a lung either like I normally would.
