I love natural remedies and I've been using them for as long as I can remember. When I was growing up, I learned about natural cures such as chamomile tea for its calming effect, arnica for sprains and bruises and of course, chicken soup with garlic for colds and flu.

My interest in natural remedies continued as I graduated from Boston University with a degree in communications, worked in advertising and television production. I moved to LA next, where I worked as a screenwriter and in TV production with Linda Bloodworth-Thomason, the creator of Designing Women and Evening Shade, and Dean Hargrove, the creator of Diagnosis Murder and Matlock.

In 1998, I became a full-time journalist and author and joined the American Society of Journalists and Authors.

I wanted to write about topics that could have a positive impact on readers, so I decided to specialize in ways to improve mental, emotional and physical health and well-being. Over the past twenty years, I've contributed to many national publications including AARP, USA Today's Green Living, Experience Life, Natural Health, Woman's Day, Remedy, Better Homes & Gardens, Prevention, Vegetarian Times, and Spirituality & Health. For more information about my work please visit: https://chrystlefiedler.contently.com.

In 2009 I began writing non-fiction books for Quarto, one of the largest illustrated book publishers in the world based in London, England. My book with Jacob Teitelbaum, MD, Beat Sugar Addiction Now! is a Quarto best-seller and now in its 4th edition. Due to its success, I've written two follow-up books in this series: the Beat Sugar Addiction Now! Cookbook and The Complete Guide to Beating Sugar Addiction. Both BSAN and the BSAN Cookbook were also published as French editions.

Other books for Quarto include The Country Almanac of Home Remedies and The Home Reference to Holistic Health and Healing: Easy-to-Use Natural Remedies, Herbs, Flower Essences, Essential Oils, Supplements, and Therapeutic Practices for Health, Happiness, and Well-Being which was released in 2019.

In 2011, Gallery Books/Simon & Schuster bought my natural remedies series. The first book in the series, DEATH DROPS: A Natural Remedies Mystery was released in 2012 to positive reviews, followed by SCENT to KILL, the GARDEN of DEATH and DANDELION DEAD. Included in all books in the series is information about natural remedies, alternative medicine and green living. You can find out more at www.chrystlefiedlerbooks.com.

When I'm not writing, I'm researching my next three book projects, all of which are set in the United Kingdom as I'm a complete and total Anglophile. As such, I enjoy tea, gardening, watching Britbox, Acorn TV and spending time in nature with my dachshund Murdoch.

5.0 out of 5 stars Natural Remedies Shows How Foods and Herbs Help Your Body to Fix the Cause rather than Place bandages on Symptoms
Reviewed in the United States on February 16, 2009
I've just finished reading The Complete Idiot's Guide to Natural Remedies and I highly recommend it above most other similar books because it specifically refers the reader to validated research-based remedies for more than 50 medical conditions. When you read a book on natural remedies, look for research-based remedies that have been scientifically proven to work.

This book has excellent quotes from experts, a glossary, resources, practitioners, and contributing experts with medical degrees. It references various journals where research can be fact-checked. This book is thorough and can help you manage your health and also seek preventive and personalized medical advice from experts, resources, integrative medicine specialists, and naturopaths.

It's about bringing your body back into balance and also preventing problems by reading research-based information written so that anyone can easily understand the information. Educate yourself in natural remedies by reading this book.

When you decide on what you want to try, make sure that the herb or other natural ingredient you select won't raise your pressure, overstimulate your thyroid, or encourage your live to produce too much bile or any other effect based on your own body's response. Everyone is different, yet, why put a bandage on a symptom if you can prevent the cause in the first place with foods or supplements. Check it out. I highly recommend this book. I've been using natural remedies for myself since 1959 and have written numerous books on nutrition. For those of you with pets, if you research natural remedies for yourself, when you finished reading this book, the next project you'd enjoy is researching natural remedies for your pet.

The big picture is that research shows that for many people alternative therapies work very well at prevention, integration, and bringing your body into balance before your system goes on to deep decline. My best advice is to research natural remedies to see which remedies work best. Thanks to this book, you have the actual names of medical physicians and naturopaths with their statements so you can see who is prescribing what natural remedies for what situations. I enjoyed this book and would highly recommend it to anyone.

Jimmy Moore from Livin' La Vida Low-Carb
2.0 out of 5 stars Why Were Science-Based Natural Remedies Ignored In This Book?
Reviewed in the United States on March 23, 2009
Reading through this book, I couldn't help but compare it to Dr. Jonny Bowden's The Most Effective Natural Cures On Earth--and there's no comparison! This one is woefully inadequate and missing some key "natural remedies" that include low-carb diets for blood sugar control, weight loss, and other key aspects of health mentioned in the book. Were these scientifically-based all-natural remedies simply overlooked or ignored?
