“Provacative and exciting… [it] deserves a prominent place in the library of anyone serious about self health care." –Vitality magazine
Don't bother looking in the history books for what has killed the most Americans. Look instead at our dinner tables. We eat too much of the wrong foods and not enough of the right foods. Scientific research continually indicates nationwide vitamin and mineral deficiencies in our country, and we spend nearly three trillion dollars each year on disease care. Is it any surprise that doctors consistently place among the highest incomes? Andrew Saul has seen enough of this situation, and in Doctor Yourself, he gives you the power you need to change it. Citing abundant scientific evidence as well as case studies from his decades of practice, Dr. Saul explodes the myth that an army of medical specialists and pharmaceutical drugs is necessary to maintain health. The human body evolved to live well and fight off disease on a supply of only a couple of dozen essential nutrients. Unfortunately, modern diets provide catastrophically inadequate levels of those nutrients.
Using the guidelines set out in Doctor Yourself, you can not only prevent disease from getting a foothold in the first place, but also cure yourself of illnesses already in progress without resorting to drugs and surgery. One of the most popular guides to nutritional therapy ever published, Doctor Yourself is now updated and expanded with the latest research and additional topics, providing proven methods for combating an even wider variety of health conditions. Whether he is delivering commonsense tips on subjects such as weight loss and longevity or praising the healthy glow of a carotene tan, Dr. Saul takes the starch out of healthcare and makes taking charge of your family's health a fun and valuable experience.

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.

Foreword
by Abram Hoffer, M.D.
I n 1952 when we first began to study the therapeutic properties of vitamin B 3 for the treatment of schizophrenia, my colleagues and I did not think that we were blazing new trails. We merely used much larger amounts of this vitamin than were required to keep anyone free from pellagra. At that time, it was forbidden for medical doctors to have any professional interaction with alternative medicine professions such as homeopathy, chiropractic, and naturopathy. Even sharing an office with them could lead to the financial death of losing one s license to practice. So we happily carried on with our work, gathering more and more data showing how powerful niacin and niacinamide were in helping to treat the schizophrenias, among the worst of all human diseases.
We were rudely awakened when we began to publish our findings in the psychiatric literature. To my surprise, I discovered that our conclusions were not accepted with grace and interest. They were rejected with boredom, or hostility and anger. At the time I was both a professor of psychiatry and director of psychiatric research. But because of the vitamin research I was doing, I was in an awkward situation. I could not be politically loyal to the medical school and to the profession of psychiatry if I continued to advocate megadoses of niacin. I chose to give my loyalty to my patients.
Gradually, a few brave physicians, mostly American psychiatrists previously trained as analysts, began to use the treatment we had described and slowly we began to make some headway. The medical associations fought us tooth and nail every step of the way, but interest in our work continued to grow. We were far from the first to point out the importance of good food, but we were the first to show that very large megadoses of some vitamins were therapeutic when usual vitamin doses were not. (Actually, the first controlled experiment that showed the importance of good food was published in the Bible, in the first chapter of the Book of Daniel. It was an open study.)
Today, orthomolecular medicine is beginning to flourish. Orthomolecular means using a therapeutic substance that is natural to the human body, such as a vitamin or mineral. There has been a major paradigm shift away from the old school, which maintained that a few easy dietary rules as promoted by governments and medical associations woul
