Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Let me start by saying that I have never written a review for Amazon before but I believe that this book is so important that I felt that I needed to come out in defense of it and give it my highest recommendation.
It's hard for me to believe how cynical some people can be when they read a book such as this, and pass judgment on it without even trying the recommendations put forth.
It's obvious that the people who have slammed this book and given it one star haven't really tried anything that the author recommends. Too bad for them.
But it's also too bad for people who might be looking for something to either cure themselves or cure others--and this book might have just the information they need--are turned off by people who are irresponsibly critical.
Yes, he does have a supplement company and some of the products are a little pricey and yes you can find similar products a little cheaper. But that doesn't negate the fact that the book is full of useful, backed-up-by-research information that will make a radical difference in a person's diet and health.
One doesn't have to buy his supplements to get full use of this remarkable book, anyway.
He does have one supplement though, Primal Defense, which are the Healthy Soil Organisms that cannot be found anywhere else as far as I know, which created the major turning point in his being cured of Crohn's disease. We all need these healthy probiotics and if you read the book you will understand why. (If you get this in the powdered form it ain't that expensive anyway.)
I have a cousin who had been sick with Crohn's Disease (a supposedly incurable disease) for years. She had been wasting away, could barely eat any food and the doctor's had given up on her. She had tried everything from doctors and drugs to alternative therapies.
A few months ago I found this book in the health food store and sent her a copy. She now no longer has Crohn's disease. Yes, a disease she had had for years that medical science calls incurable she has cured herself of in just a few months by eating the diet and adding some supplementation that this book recommends.
She is now gaining weight, is free of pain and is feeling better than she has in many many years. She credits my sending her this book with saving her life.
I follow the diet myself and take some of the supplements and have much more energy and my aches and pains in joints and back are gradually subsiding. Nothing I have tried before has made the difference that this way of eating and supplementation has made.
(And if you are looking to lose weight you will find nothing better than the information in this book to help you do that. Atkins is great, this book does it one better.)
I have been studying nutrition for many years. This information is by far the most common sense and logical and in many ways revolutionary.
Please pay no attention to the cynical nay sayers. Get this book, used if you have to, read it, apply it then judge for yourself.
A few bucks is all you have to lose, optimal health for life is everything you have to gain.
