Product Description
As a pharmacist for almost two decades, Suzy Cohen knows that medication can often be invaluable. But she has also learned to "think outside the pill" and recommend natural options that are often just as good or better at promoting health without the risk of dangerous, drug-induced side effects. In this comprehensive, one-of-a-kind resource, she answers such questions as:
- How can I stop my husband/wife from snoring?
- Are vitamin pills worth it or worthless?
- Are there alternatives to antidepressants?
- What kind of surge protection is there for hot flashes?
- How can I train my body to lose fat?

Reader ReviewsMy first impression of "The 24-Hour Pharmacist" is that it's an easy 'friendly' read, and I didn't want to put it down. It addresses everyday issues and can be understood even by those with 'furry' thinking from too much stress and too little rest (Suzy addresses these issues as well). This book is written with clarity, wisdom, and wit and has taken top billing on my night stand! I felt like Suzy was writing to me, and her compassion wrapped it all up in a warm snuggly. While reading, I was reminded of various maladies that had been shared in confidence, during years of spiritual counseling, the type of thing we just "learn to live with." Now we don't have too. As many are questioning what to do for symptoms, besides popping an Rx, Suzy's more natural pro-active approach offers both sound advice and hope. Everyone can benefit, or knows someone who can benefit, from her extensive knowledge. Of course you will go first to the chapter of your particular interest, either above or below the waist, and that's ok. Take a look and then read the book! The whole thing. After all, doesn't the responsibility for the care of our families still fall primarily on women...which includes our significant other! You buy his shirts, now buy this book. We women have a woman on our side, who knows what it feels like to be the recipient of a blank stare as the doctor offers little beyond an Rx, or a stock answer. Regarding physical concerns, my (ex) gynecologist patted me on the shoulder and told me to take up running, and with that parting comment, he left the room, and my questions, unanswered. To be clear, I am grateful, both for doctors' expertise, and now for this book! Women unite. Take your well-being into your own hands, along with some sage advice from Suzy Cohen, our very own "24-Hour Pharmacist". Rev. Marita Graves
