Each botanical profile in The Handbook of Clinically Tested Herbal Remedies
contains a summary section (table, text and references), followed by
product information and clinical trials for that particular product. An
evaluation of the strength of the evidence from the trials, along with
the context for therapeutics is included to give you a complete picture
of each remedy and its usefulness or lack thereof. If there is more than
one product based on a particular botanical then the trials are grouped
according to the product.
This valuable book also makes purchasing easy with manufacturer contact
information. With over 30 individual botanicals and 10 multi-ingredient formulas,
160 products and 360 clinical studies, The Handbook of Clinically Tested Herbal
Remedies is the book you need to make an informed selection of herbal products.
Not only does it list proprietary herbal products that have been tested in controlled
clinical studies and provide a rating of the quality of those trials, but, it also describes
the fundamentals of herbal medicine, including regulation, characterization, standardization,
bioavailability, efficacy, safety, pharmacopoeial monographs as well as incentives, or lack
of incentive, for US and European manufacturers to conduct clinical studies.
Contributors to the chapters describing the fundamentals of herbal medicine include:
* The late Dr. Varro Tyler, Distinguished Professor Emeritus at Purdue
University and co-author of Tyler's Honest Herbal, Rational
Phytotherapy, and Tyler's Herbs of Choice
* Loren Israelsen, JD, president of the LDI group
* Tieraona Low Dog, MD, Chair of the USP Dietary Supplement Information Committee
* Joerg Grünwald, PhD, co-author of the Physicians Desk Reference (PDR)
for Herbal Medicines, and Stefan Spiess, RPh, President of Grünwalder
GmbH
* Anton Biber, PhD, and Friedrich Lang, PhD, experts in the
bioavailability of herbal medicine at Dr. Willmar Schwabe GmbH and
Co., Germany
* Anthony Almada, MSc, founder and Chief Scientific Officer of IMAGINutrition, Inc.
* Joseph M. Betz, PhD, Director of the Dietary Supplements Methods and
Reference Materials Program at the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements
* Ezra Bejar, PhD, president of Plant Bioassay
* Uwe Koetter, PhD, Director of New OTC and Dietary Supplement Product Development at GlaxoSmithKline
* Srini Srinivasan, PhD, Vice President of the Dietary Supplement Verification Program of the United States Pharmacopeia (USP)
* Roy Upton, Executive Director of the American Herbal Pharmacopoeia.
All of the clinical trials in The Handbook of Clinically Tested Herbal
Remedies were rated as to their Level of Evidence according to a system
designed by Tieraona Low Dog, MD, Chair of the United States
Pharmacopoeia Dietary Supplements/Botanicals Expert Panel and a member
of the White House Commission on Complementary and Alternative Medicine.

Aranda, MD; Elliot Fagelman, MD; Mary Hardy, MD; David Heber, MD, PhD,
FACP, FACN; John Trimmer Hicks, MD, FACP, FACR; Hannah Kim, MD; Franklin
