Douglas Ringer should be president!
I bought this book a few months ago. I called information to get the number of NDR. When I called them they put me through to Doug Ringer. This man is a wealth of knowledge. Even though he told me that they are in the middle of puting out a new book, he took the time to speak with me about his vision of nutrition and wellness. This man is on a mission to help people, he is completely devoted. I learned more in ten minutes while speaking with him than I had over my 15 years of trying to understand how supplements are made and how to use them. His objective reasoning was refreshing. Given the chance, this man will help change peoples lives - he's smart and he cares about us. I can't wait for his next edition.

I'm Impressed!
This book goes into detail about the applications of specific brand-name formulas. This is the kind of information that you just can't get on the label or in brochures. Before you buy anyone's products, you should see if their in this book. If their not, you may want to purchase from someone that is.

Great Book! This is the PDR of nutrition.
I am very glad to see that somebody finally gets it. As a physician, I find it very difficult to discuss nutritional products with my patients. Not because I don't believe in supplementation, but because I don't trust many of the companies who make supplements. The PGN gives me all of the information I need to make an informed decision about what products to recommend to my patients. If there are warnings or interactions - it lists them, if I need to know what a specific herb or vitamin can be used for - I can find it in either the Quick Reference Guide, the Universal Index or the Glossary. This is the most informative product specific reference I have ever used. The reason for my 4 star rating is because I would like to see all the manufacturers of supplements in this book. But then again, if the companies that are in this book are the only ones that are making good products - then the book gets the full five stars.
