THE DESCRIPTION:
“Natural Cures” is a thorough A-Z database of common ailments with background information, treatment advice, therapies, and prevention. The application also includes a section on nutrition.
THE GOOD:
This is a solid, convenient health reference; you can read in-depth information about anything from Alzheimer’s disease to obesity in a matter of minutes. There are also specific passages concerning diet, supplements, and medication. You can also check out EndFatigue’s Vitality 101 Blog and access Psychology Today’s website through the application. It’s very easy to navigate and the interface is basic but well-composed.
THE BAD:
As with many applications, the information here advocates the developer that provides it; Natural Cures was created by physician and author Jacob Teitelbaum in collaboration with his wife, who is a nutritionist. It’s definitely partial to a certain philosophy and not a substitute for more individually based advice. The information is general and can be vague in places. Technically speaking, a few of the links don’t work and the reference pages occasionally go blank.
THE BOTTOM LINE:
This is a sound, organized and informative application. If you prefer WebMD for advice, check out their application. Lose It! will help you focus on weight loss. “Natural Cures” can provide some light, entertaining reading material and maybe help you the next time you’re constipated or trying to figure out the appropriate dosage for Vitamin B12. If you have a serious issue or concern, this is will only give you something to read before your next appointment with a physician.
