Pharmacies Books

After reviewing many Drug Guides and Reference Books I purchased the Lippincott. I have found it to be an invaluable support tool and source of information. The format is very organized, straight-forward and thorough. It is the one drug guide that contains all information needed for pharmacology, everyone else in class that purchased "other" drug guides have borrowed my Lippincott to find information that their books did not provide. Most of these fellow students have since purchased a Lippincott and tossed the "other" drug guides aside. It is the only drug guide that I will use now and in the future.

If you happen to be a dentist or a dental student you MUST have this book.

As a contributor to this book, I highly recommend it for all students who are interested and/or involved in the study of ethnomycology, both in the field of mycology and for those students interested in the magic Mushrooms.

The histories of the sacred mushrooms and their subsequent rediscovery in 1953 by R. Gordon Wasson has now spread throughout the known world from Oaxaca, Mexico to as far north as Alsaka and from China across Europe to the USA and to Africa, Australia, New Zealand, and South America in the south. Their chemistry, pharmacology, academia and recreational use is discussed in fascinating detail covering their entire history dating back almost 9000 years and describes in detail, some of the more than 190 known species which contain psilocybine.

Also under discussion are the Amanita muscaria and A. pantherina (Soma) mushrooms and the Boletus and Rusulla mushrooms used by aborigine groups in New Guinea.

A superb effort on the part of Peter Stafford to bring this updated revived chapter from his Psychedelic Encyclopedia to the attention of the general public at an affordable price to all.

With dozens of illustrations and numerous new photographs and a cover by me.

If you're looking for a textbook on ayurvedic herbs, here it is.

I've been interested in ayurvedic herbs but did not find anything with scientific references. Anecdotal reports are not enough.

A few examples:

Did you know the ficus tree is considered holy and is used for medicine?

Amla, which is a component of the formula "triphala" has been proven to dramatically lower cholesterol, triglycerides, phospholipids and low density lipoproteins by 82%, 66% 77% and 90% respectively.

REGRESSION OF AORTIC PLAQUES was observed. To put it plainly, when your arteries are clogged, this herb will help unclog them.

I do a lot of research on heart disease had never heard of this.

I know pseudoginseng, which is a Chinese herb, will do the same thing, but I did not know about Amla.

It's basic book on many herbs. Anyone interested in natural medicine should buy and own this book. More about this book, as well as some other important books on health can be found at starthealthylife.com You can get there some free ebooks on many health topics, as well as buy some popular books on health . Also look for special gift packages.

This book is a must-have for any pharmacist or pharmacy student wishing to grow their practice from a patient-centric, customer-driven perspective. In addition, as an individual who works in the Pharmaceutical Industry, I found the book to provide key insights into how pharmacists market their services to customers. This will help any individual seeking to gain a deeper understanding of the pharmacy channel in the pharmaceutical supply chain/trade arena.

Math and Dosage Calculations for Medical Careers with Student CD-ROM
There was no CD-ROM included with this purchase - The price for the book was extremely reasonable - I received the book promptly - the book is in great condition - I ordered the book before purchasing the special edition at the college book store, which cost 3x as much as the one I received from Amazon - I have had nothing but successful transactions from Amazon, even when I have had to return a couple of books I had ordered... Books are very expensive and having the capability of ordering used books on line has really saved me a lot of money! Thanks to the many gracious sellers and Amazon's continued support- I will continue to use this service. Don't forget to use your ISBN #'s

Excelent service. Book better than expected, fast, and in excelent conditions. I highly recomend it.

Well thought out. Good. A must for undergraduates and postgraduates.

The new 2002 edition of this book has all forms on CD-ROM for use with Windows or Mac, in addition to tear-out forms for photocopying. You can change any form to suit your needs with Microsoft Word.
