How the Textbook Information is Organized

As mentioned in a previous post highlighting the content of the Textbook of Naturopathic Medicine, much of the most pertinent information summarized through tables. These provide incredibly valuable snapshot references. Here are a couple of these tables, to give you a sample of how the information is organized:

The first page of a 12-page chart in Chapter 5 that lists all cytotoxic agents by alphabetical order, along with their possible adverse effects, half-life, nadir, metabolic site, excretory pathway, and other crucial information:
Cytotoxic Agents Table 5-7

These tables can be tabbed for quick reference, or more traditionally, you can utilize the index at the back of the textbook for navigation.
