The section on disease treatment covers ailments from cradle cap to shingles and is presented in groups based on the organ system to which each disease belongs i.e. digestive, urinary, respiratory etc. For each problem information is given on the symptoms, principle natural antibiotics, and 2 or more specific treatment plans featuring both an oral and topical dosage. Ending chapters deal wit detoxification and supplementation to maintain balance in the body, and the relationship between intestinal flora and infectious diseases.
