Medical Toxicology of Natural Substances (eBook)

Dr. Donald G. Barceloux is presently a Staff Physician in the Department of Emergency Medicine at Pomona Valley Community Hospital. He is also a teacher at UCLA, an active consultant on medical toxicology, and a fellow at the American Academy of Clinical Toxicology, American College of Medical Toxicology, and the American College of Emergency Medicine. In addition, he has written an array of papers and co-authored a medical toxicology reference book.

"Overall, this book would be a useful addition to the libraries of
medical students, graduate students in pharmacology and toxicology,
and natural products scientists. Furthermore, because of its
"multidisciplinary evidence-based approach", the book presents an
easy-to-follow and valuable resource for clinical toxicologists and
analytical chemists, as well as those involved in the regulation of
toxic substance exposure. It is a superb resource for a natural
products clinical toxicology course." (Journal of Natural Products,
17 August 2011)



"[The book] provides in-depth, evidence based coverage of the
most important natural toxins found in foods, fungi, medicinal
herbs, plants and venimous animals." (Food Science and
Technology Abstracts, July 2010)"This wonderful book
covers an enormous subject with attention to detail and direct
clinical relevance in a style that is surprisingly easy to read.
The remaining volumes will be eagerly awaited by clinical
toxicologists everywhere." (The Medical Journal of
Australia, January 2010)

"This text provides a comprehensive guide to the medical
toxicology of natural substances and is considered an excellent
reference for forensic scientists including pathologists,
toxicologists, criminalists, and scene investigators."
(Journal of Forensic Science, September 2009)

"Entries vary from single species to large groups; hence
coverage is quite variable, though always informative. This volume
will be useful for researchers and clinicians."
(CHOICE, October 2009)

"Medical Toxicology of Natural Substances provides
a reliable and easily accessible source on what is known about this
topic." (JAMA, July 2009)

"It should be a part of the library any scientist who deal wit
natural products research, as well as toxicologists and
pharmacologists. It should be a principle reference for poison
control centers." (Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, published
online March 26, 2009)
