Alternative Books

Tulku Thondup has once again extracted the essence of traditional Buddhist techniques and made them accessible to Buddhists and non-Buddhists alike. For more information about Tulku Thondup, his writings, and his seminar schedule, please visit his website at: http://www.tulkuthondup.com/

Good for both the newcomer and the experienced reader of buddhism. I have read this book three times, and every time is a new experience that creates an amazing aura of mindful positivity.
It is not a book of religion but it is the book about positivity.
I would reccomend it for everyone.
It has changed my life.

I love this book. It brings the wisdom of Tibetan Buddhism into everyday life--whether you call yourself a Buddhist or not. It shows how you can use healing attitudes and imagery. Simple, nondogmatic, loving, and practical.

This is one of the single best books I've seen for mind, body and spirit. Clear and concise, it exudes kindness, gentleness, and love. And it has greatly helped me and many people I know in dealing with every aspect of life.

A must read for everyone. No matter what your faith, this is a no-nonsense form of empowering ourselves. This is the kind of book that should be on all our public school reading lists, and taught in our schools.

I got this for my dad. He really likes it. It's helping him through his treatments. He also finds it very relaxing when he can't sleep. We've always liked Belleruth's products!

Simply put, this disc is the best of its kind available.

It consists of three tracks covering instructions, a guided visualization, and affirmations. As the instructions point out, different people will find the visualization more helpful than the affirmations, and vice versa. Personally, I found the guided visualization to be the most useful.

I found this disc to offer a very effective means of activating long dormant energy, and a valuable way of connecting with Spirit. Its effectiveness only grows with repetitive use.

Like most people, my husband and I were lost when we first started dealing with his cancer. We believe healing starts in the mind; with keeping a positive outlook. I was grasping for any kind of help, when I randomly selected this tape. I am so very pleased I did. This wonderfully relaxing, and life-affirming tape gave my husband peace, and a quiet determination to endure. He slept better, when BelleRuths' voice softly instructed him, and he felt less pain and anxiety, as she empowered him to will his body to heal. Next to a loving mother, this was the most comforting and encouraging thing we had. No one can say for sure if suggestion cures cancer...and we don't do that now, but we know for sure it made our journey easier. We have since bought 8 more tapes for our friends, and each was grateful we did. We repeated the 'mantra' taught to us:
"Thank you cancer, for teaching us this lesson...you can go now."
And what's really neat? It has. Buy this tape...and God Bless.

I bought the original cassette tape version of this a decade ago. Having not used something like this at the time I was very pleasantly surprised by how much I liked the product. In the recording Belleruth introduces the process in her gentle, calm voice, and then guides you into relaxation and then a healing visualization journey. I found upon repeated listening what I experienced during the guided imagery changed from time to time. At times it was quite moving and healing. I found it a huge help with feelings of sadness and very relaxing.

Also, a few years ago I was suffering from an illness and wondered if one of her newer CDs might help with my healing. I wrote her via her website, and was pleasantly surprised to get a thoughtful email back from her personally recommending which CD she felt would be best for my situation. She also mentioned other CDs (since produced) she was thinking of making. Her personal email even further reinforced the feelings I had that this person cared about the people she was helping, and not just making more money.

So I highly recommend this CD. Also check out her newer products here on Amazon.com tailored for other life situations. I wish you peace, health and every happiness. ~Michael

If you live far from complementary care centers where guided imagery is an integral part of your treatment (or if you've become isolated from them such as I have following the events of September), you might feel like you're missing a piece of the puzzle. Surgery and chemo are part of the solution... but you have to rally your own strength to deal with cancer. I believe that this tape allows you to do that... in several ways. If you don't jive with one part of the tape, there are others. One of them is bound to touch you in a meaningful way.

I think this book is very informative and I recommend this to anyone. I'm still reading it, when I'm done, I'll be passing it along to relatives.

This is a very excellent book. I found it very informative and inspiring. I enjoyed the fact that it covered not only physical issues but emotional and spiritual issues as well. It made for a very good read because I felt the author really knew her subjects and what things might be underlying causes for ill health. I would recommend this book to all women who are on a quest to feel better physically and emotionally.

This was a refreshing look into not only how to achieve and maintain a healthy heart but also the interesting facts that surround the history of black women and their cultural differences. However I would recommend this book to all women, not just black women, as there is a lot of beneficial information for all of us here.

Dr. Yates has a wonderful gift of not only talking in laymen's terms so that a larger audience can make use of this important information, but she also breaks down the facts that lie around the issues of heart health in a way that allows you to retain the facts.

The chapter on Estrogen Replacement Therapy was particularly helpful. With a sea of information on this issue, most of which is either scientific garble to me or that of pharmaceutical representation skewed toward profit margins, I was relieved to get clear information here that any reader will be able to make sense of. I walked away understanding much more about my own body and the natural resources that lie within me. Thus allowing me to make better decisions about how I will proceed when I am at the age of menopause.

I commend Dr. Yates on a job well done and I look forward to more information on other topics by her in the future.

Finally there's an author who speaks my language! I happy to say reading this book has helped me turn some things around for myself. I realize no one's going to take care of me but me, and this author speaks to me in a way that's inspiring. And she knows what I'm dealing with. Sisters, this one is worth your $.

My name is Aliou Ayaba a physician from Benin in West-Africa.I have practiced in rural hospital in Benin for almost ten years now.I met Dr Yates by chance because she was willing to donnate medical equipments and supplies to rural hospitals in Benin after an ad I placed in a local newspaper. If I saw her book on stack in a library I would not have paid attention to it because like all today modern physicians alternative/traditional/ natural medicine is secondary, imprecise and sometimes not important. It is sad because everytime we want to make a prescription about High blood pressure, diabete, sickle-cell anemia, depression etc, we start with :" hygienic and dietetic counseling" even though we do not have time to explain all this section to the patient..But this is rather a big issue about the place of alternative medicine today. The book written by Dr.Yates impress me a lot for it reveals in a very simple language the hidden part of our health.It has more effect on me probably because I practice in a rural hospital in Benin where I cross every day in the hospital traditional healers giving secret care to their hospitalized patients just because unlike we modern physicians busy with "mathmatical medicine" they take time to listen to patients, their recipes are natural, cheaper easy to use and with less side effects...they care not only for the body but also the mind and the patient's environment as well. Cardiovascular diseases CVD are the first killer worlwide and as Dr.Yates indicates there is a single chance: they are preventable, their prevention is cheaper or only costs a little change in our lifestyle.For everyone and particularly black women all over the world I recommend this book because if today we cannot change our socioeconomic status which put us at higher risk of dying for CVD at least we can modifies slightly our lifestyle by following the simple receipes of Dr.Yates in order to enjoy this life that never rewind...

What I like well in this book is the numerous tables, the questionnaires and the lists that summarize the essential data in each chapter.
What I like most in this book is the emphasis on clinical signs and symptoms for the diagnosis of hormonal imbalance rather than the usual relying on lab test only.

The author is from the fourth generation in a family of physician specializing in hormones well before the term "Endocrinology" had been invented. His great-grandfather, Dr. Eugene Hertoghe has given his name to the "Sign of Hertoghe", the shorter eyebrows of people with hypothyroidy and his father, Dr. Jacques Hertoghe has introduced the now widely used 24 hours thyroid hormone test. The test much better correlates with the signs, symptoms and complaints of thyroid hormone utilization than the usual thyroid hormone blood tests.
With his seminars and publications the author is well in line with the tradition of his family.
This book is a major contribution to our understanding of hormonal processes. I recommend this book to every person (inclusive physicians) interested in learning more about the way hormones affect us in all the aspects of our existence.

I love how this book was written. Originally I set out to just do some learning on Bio-identical Hormones for a friend and found out that I may have issues with my own hormones.

He talks about what can happen to our bodies when our hormones are not balanced, and over the long-term, can lead to diseases.

The book is broken down into 4 major areas:
1. Hormones
2. Body
3. Mind
4. Hormone Solution

In Chapter 2 (which is a part of #1), he gives a quiz (Part I) on each of the 15 hormones he talks about in his book and the symptoms of deficiency. The hormones would be ACTH, Aldosterone, Calcitonin, Cortisol, DHEA, EPO, Estrogen, Growth Hormone, Insulin, Melatonin, Pregnenolone, Progesterone, Testosterone, Thyroid Hormones, and Vasopressin.

In Part II of the quiz, he quizzes your Energy, Sex, Sleep, Skin/Hair, Weight Control, Stress, Mood, Circulation (Heart & STroke), Joints, Bones, and Immune System.

It takes a bit to complete the full quiz, but well worth it. With the Part II stuff, he goes into further details about each of these.

In each of those sections, he'll talk about detecting & decoding one's deficiencies, how to eat to heal, the nutrients needed, supplementation, scientific evidence/studies, and concludes with summary of each of the 15 hormones that may impact that particular issue (i.e., weight issue).

For the Hormone Solution, he breaks this down into:
1. The hormone
2. Treatment
3. Recommended dosage & frequency
4. What they may be associated to in terms of impact with other hormones.

He has a couple pages for resources and 59 pages of references. WOW!!!

This book was very informative and the first book I read on hormones. I've since read several other books, but still like this one the best.

A good compliment to this book is Natural Hormone Balance for Women by Dr. Uzzi Reiss, who is a ob-gyn in Beverly Hills. He covers some other things Dr. Hertoghe doesn't.

Something I'd like to mention is I did go get a 24-hr urine analysis that looked at a number of the hormones mentioned in this book. His quiz made it fairly easy for me to have my doctor test for certain things and they were fairly close to being correct.

My naturopath has now given me some BIHs to help me rebalance those hormones I was deficient in. Am feeling so much better and this was about 3.5 weeks ago.

This book was required reading from an endocrinologist I was seeing and I'm so very glad that I read it cover to cover. I learned SO much about my hormone issues and was able to help figure out what was going on with my husband and his hormone issues. It made the remainder of his life bearable. I keep this book for reference and use it often. I bought and gave one to my primary care doctor and he said it has enlightened him on hormone issues with patients. We are so blessed that Dr. Thierry Hertoghe chose to share his knowledge with us to help as many people as possible to feel better and have quality of life. Best hormone book I have ever read!!

Comprehensive. Includes suggestions for communication with your doctor to request appropriate labs and prescriptions for bioidentical hormones to improve health, longevity and well being. Also includes dietary modifications to support a bioidentical hormone replacement protocol. Written by the top endocrinologist in the world. Very insightful, cutting edge knowledge.

This book is clearly written. The author makes it possible for everyone to get a clue about which hormones might be missing in his/her body before visiting a health professional. Many health issues are covered with the specific hormonal deficienties. I found it very clarifying and it brought me a step forwards in my search for my lost health. I have read also the books of John R. Lee. The book of Thierry Hertoghe gives not so much information about what one can do self in comparison with the books of Lee on female issues.
in the meantime i go to his sister dr.Therese Hertoge for treatment,and i got much better.

"Hot Flashes: 21 Non-Hormonal Strategies to Put Out the Fire" is a tool to empower women to survive menopause by giving tips to help women control their hot flashes, or 'put out the fire.' The author, Julie Calligaro, is a former nurse and practicing attorney, and an author of several other self-help books for women. In brief, Calligaro begins by suggesting that the woman begin by establishing a baseline of frequency, duration, severity, and triggers of her hot flashes, then try any or all of the following approaches: Paced breathing, regular exercise, black cohash, red clover, soy foods, acupuncture, avoidance of triggers, cessation of smoking, reduce weight until achieving a health weight, bathing/showering in tepid water, and lowering the temperature of surroundings, especially the bedroom. Additionally, these are 10 cooling strategies suggested: Wear cotton, not wool or synthetics. Dress in layers. Wear sleepwear that wicks sweat away from the skin. Carry a pocket fan. Have fans positioned around home and workplace. Meditate. Do yoga. Adjust your attitude about menopause. Use BeKool Hot Flash gel sheets for immediate cooling. Wear kleenex in your bra. Calligaro's final suggestion to the reader is to maintain regular physical checkups, pap smears, and breast exams. "Hot Flashes" is a practical manual to assist the menopausal woman to greater comfort during her change of life.

I've been bothered by hot flashes on and off for quite some time and I've been looking for safe but effective ways to reduce them. Julie Calligaro's book has been a huge help to me. The information is clearly written and easy to understand. The methods she describes to reduce hot flashes and the tips she includes to make flashes easier to bear are excellent.

Sandy L.

I found Julie Calligaro's book,"Hot Flashes-21 Non-Hormonal Strategies to Put Out the Fire", an easy read and a good reference. I especially appreciated the review of herbs, supplements and extracts. Also, the chapter on 'Depression in Midlife' reminded me of the additude adjustments we (I) need to periodically make!! A helpful guidebook through the hormonal roller coaster associated with menopause. Ann Klein

Hot Flashes 21 Non-Hormonal Strategies to Put Out the Fire is the book to have if you are struggling with Hot Flashes. After taking HRT for many years to control my hot flashes, I was told by my doctor that I would have to stop the medication and just deal with hot flashes. They returned with a vengeance, just as they had for the author, Julie Calligaro. Well, just dealing with them is easier said than done. So, a big thank you to Ms. Calligaro for her comprehensive book on safe and effective strategies to combat Hot Flashes. I am now very cool.

This book changed my life. With several simple, safe and inexpensive steps I now feel more in control of my hot flashes. I ordered the nightclothes recommended and now sleep better than I have in quite some time. Most importantly I re-evaluated my outlook on this major life change and found that merely changing my attitude has made a difference. I have recommended this book to many of my friends and family.

About 10 years ago, I became very sick and thought I was going to die. I took several diagnostic tests which came out negative. So I decided that I will help myself and did some research. By some stroke of luck or miracle, I received a brochure of this book in the mail so being desperate, I bought it and tried what was suggested for my symptoms. Well, I did get back to health. My symptoms disappeared. Thanks a million Dr. Wagner. I think I will buy another copy of this book since mine has become very worn out due to use.

I would like to know where to obtain a purtaneous distcotectomy as outlined on page 236 by Dr Wagner, to enable me to write a review.
Would it be possible for me to talk to him either through yourselves or myself?
Regards....Ray Kirton ..Sydney..Australia

I have read the book and am very impressed with Dr. Wagner's belief and success in alternative healing. I live in Australia and would be most grateful if I could have an address to write to Dr. Wagner about a problem that is not covered in his book. Could you please e-mail a contact address, if possible. Many, many thanks.

I purchased "How To Stay Out of the Doctor's Office" several years ago, and I am convinced the book has saved me thousands of dollars in medical bills. Wagner's book helps you to diagnose common physical ailments, and he gives natural solutions for healing. He gives precise descriptions of problems like kidney stones, gallstones, high blood pressure, cholesterol control, thyroid problems, multiple sclerosis, gout, tinnitis, yeast infections, ulcers, and diabetes. I have read some sections of his book several times, and I am convinced that I have avoided/cured gallstones, kidney stones, gout, and ulcers by following his advice. I highly recommend this book to everyone. (jsoverton@excite.com)

Three years ago I read "How to Stay Out of the Doctor's Office" and was so impressed with it that I contacted the publisher to find out where Dr. Wagner was located. Several days later he called me directly and asked how he could be of help. Since then Dr. Wagner has become our family doctor, and we have come to appreciate his straightforwardness in telling his patients to ask questions, to become educated in making informed decisions, and finally, to "take control" of their own health. I keep his book with me at all times and treat it as my "medical bible". Each chapter is extremely informative and I have used many of them to help family and friends with common sense solutions to their medical problems. Easy to read, its format offers the layperson a basic understanding of his/her ailment, what causes it, the conventional treatment, problems associated with that treatment, and then a "no nonsense" approach to alternative remedies that include a good nutritional program, vitamin and supplement support, amino acids, herbs, adjunctive remedies, and exercise regimens. Dr. Wagner is located in Philadelphia, PA. He has a radio program, "The Dr. Wagner Health Show" which airs on Tuesday and Thursday at 2:00 p.m. on 1540am. He has written another book, "How to Stay Out of the Hospital" which addresses the problems of orthodox medicine and offers many case histories. With Dr. Wagner's permission, I am including his office number for those readers who need to contact him: (215) 455-0717.

Elaine Smitha has accomplished the near-impossible with her book "If You Make The Rules, How Come You're Not Boss." She's given us a book which combines user-friendly science with the power of spirit--and teaches us how to utilize both in enriching our lives.

Packed with revealing personal stories that will make you laugh, cry and deeply ponder--Elaine's book also reveals how to go far beyond what the medical profession is currently offering us--and explains in clear, concise language how to become our own body's doctors.

And this book goes far beyond the typical new-age "foo-foo feel-good" hype. Rather--Elaine gives us the leading-edge knowledge we need to self-heal and self-help ourselves--knowledge she's gleaned from decades of research (she's also personal friends with many top scientists and is a frequent guest on Gary Null's radio show).

If you're fed up with illness, disease and the monthly trips to the pharmacy; if you're tired of living a life of conformity and complacency; and if you're looking to attract and create lasting health, wealth and abundant joy in your life--this is the definitive personal-growth book for you--hands down.

Elaine Smitha is not only the author of this in-depth, informative, plain-speak, very good, and easy read, she is also the years-long "Television Host/Producer" of her own show, "Evolving Ideas", as the book cover announces. Over those years, she's most effectively interviewed some of the most interesting people on the planet, many of them on Health, Diet, Healing, and the Envoronment; and many others on the most provocative, forward thinking concepts around. Ms. Smitha does not merely rehash what she's done before in this book, she's actually created something of her own; and in the doing she shows herself as sister, mother, wise-woman, shaman, expert, coach, inspirer, and self-healer. When Elaine needed new information she got it; and she tells us here who Antoine Priore is, and Robert O. Becker too. That alone provides some of the most fascinating material I've seen, and there's a wealth of information more. For anyone seeking knowledgeable new insight, guidance, inspiration, and the distant touch of a kind healer's strong intent, try this one.

Elaine Smitha has written a book that will touch many lives. Its central message is that our health and well being is not dependent on the drug industry and medical community's propaganda and belief systems. There is a better alternative path which puts the control back with the individual.

Reading this book is the all-important first step along this path.

If anyone has seen 'what the bleep do we know' and liked it, this book is a must. It tells you what is happening on a cellular level in easy to read terms and how your beliefs can change your DNA.

Have you ever tried to turn your life on and nothing happened? Have you ever said to yourself, "Let's get busy," amd there is no response? Have you ever missed doing something you really wanted to do?

Don't panic; help is at hand! Many of life's problems are easily solved, whether they are physical imbalances, invasive procedures, or psychological, social, or excessive behaviors. We just need to know how to solve these problems.

Elaine Smitha has written a book that gives examples of how the internal process can be self-controlled, and how one can obtain a balanced, happy lifestyle. The book will guide you through her awakening experiences to defeat limitations and allow her body and life to heal.

She discusses that the stimulus-response is a learned behavior, and how it will forever run your life - for good or bad unless addressed at the conscious level. The book emphasizes that you are in control, and what occurs when you realize it. Over the years, it was thought that genes were in control. At that time we were not in charge, but were simply the receivers of information about how to live and behave. It has now been discovered that genes alone do not control the self. No matter how it is stated, we are the products of our environment and characteristics acquired from our parents and peers. By loving one's self and taking control over these outside influences, a happy, fulfilling life can begin.

This book is an excellent starting point for the many people who wish to change their lives.

This workbook provides a basic introduction to the study of intuition medicine. While it is better to have such introductions in person, this book, supplemented by a series of audiotapes, can provide a good taste of the subject.

I am pleased to see a major emphasis given here to grounding exercises, which help to keep the student and practitioner centered and in touch with earth energies. Without this, it is very easy to get "ungrounded" and confused in doing intuitive and energy work.

Other chapters introduce the aura and chakra energy systems for healing, colors in healing, male/female energies and more.

These days most people I know are trying to find the "meaning" in their lives. Their trying to "get clear" of the information in their head that isn't necessarily their own... cultural messages, family messages, "I should" messages. This book is excellent for explaining in a technical yet understandable mode of what is really going on. Thus, one can "reclaim" their personal power in order to live their life full of "ease and grace."

A concise, easy to use text for anyone interested in exploring and strengthening their gift of intuition. Whether a beginner or experienced student of the subject, everyone will walk away with practical tools to enhance everyday living!

Intuition Medicine: The Science of Energy is an important book in the emerging field of energy medicine. Unlike many popular books on this subject, Ms. McCartney provides an equal balance of theory and practical tools that make her model come alive. Her language is clear and concise so that even skeptics can understand the basic importance of enhancing intuition and mapping the body's energy systems. McCartney's book is filled with useful meditation techniques and daily living advice to help readers gain a better awareness of how to increase their intuition, gain a better awareness of their energetic body, and a heightened ability to connect to their higher self. This book presents an important way of looking at the relationship we have with ourselves and others. I highly recommend it.

The information Ms. McCartney shares in this intriguing volume provides valuable insight to seeking and understanding yourself. I have studied with Ms. McCartney and have experienced the lessons in this book firsthand. This process has helped me to uncover who I really am and what I want to do with my life. If you don't live in the Bay Area and cannot attend the Academy of Intuitive Studies and Intuition Medicine in person, this book and the companion tapes are the next best thing. You will learn a compendium of tools from a variety of disciplines, including those developed by Ms. McCartney herself, that can provide ways to find deeper insight into your life and purpose. I cannot recommend it highly enough!

Of all the "handbooks" which are on the market for cancer patients and their families and other supporters, this one is the most straightforward discussion of all aspects of the disease - mental, physical, spiritual. There is a strong emphasis on the patient, family and doctor relationship. The steps of healing right up to the "final" healing are honest and professional. Three cheers for Dr. Geffen.

An excellent overview of cancer today. The author, Dr.Geffen, covers what cancer really is, current treatments, alternative therapies, and more. He was especially helpful in pointing out how "the journey" can be a time of spiritual growth and clarity for not only the patient but family and friends as well. If you've never dealt closely with this disease before, Dr. Geffen is an excellent guide.

If you or anyone you know is going through an experience of cancer, then you know it is a journey. The Journey Through Cancer, IS your guide book.

The day cancer came to visit my husband Joe, is a day I will never forget. The moment you hear the words from a doctor, your life changes. In a split second you are no longer just a person, you are a person with cancer.

The Journey Through Cancer gives you simple, practical and very real guidance. The world of cancer and your journey through it can be overwhelming, confusing and sometimes very isolating. Dr. Geffen comes shining through with the wisdom and compassion that comes from years of experience.

Often, when we hear of someone with cancer, it seems tragic and we feel at a loss for how to offer real help. This book offers everything needed to sustain the journey.

This book is now the first thing I give to anyone I know or hear of who has cancer. It brings me joy to know that in giving this book, someone is receiving one of the greatest gifts. The opportunities for healing and transformation available within these pages, are so profound, everyone should take advantage. Even those not touched by cancer.

I ordered this book as soon as I was diagnosed with breast cancer. This is a comforting - helpful read!! It told me what I would be facing - and gave me ideas as to how best to get through it. I have now passed this book on to others as they begin the same journey. Thanks to the wonderful Doctor who wrote this book!!!

This book finally addresses the many dimensions of the human experience of illness. This book gives us the rare opportunity to follow a course that we can hold on to while being tossed in the waves of profound illness. The Seven Levels Of Healing doesn't miss any part of these difficult and frightening times. After reading this book, there was never an aspect of the journey through any illness that this book did not deeply explore. Though many other books delve into the components of healing and the transformation that we all go through in journeying through illness, this book finally has the courage to take the critical extra steps. The final 4 levels are able to sensatively and compassionately guide us through the deepest aspects of human wellness. These are steps that we could use whether in the process of healing an illness, or trying to identify the critical decisions, beliefs, and obstacles to feeling deeply connected with our lives in general. These seven levels are ones that I intend to update as I go through the many changes that accompany any life. It should be required reading for everyone. This book is an absolute gem!

Since I had my baby 3 years ago I've been battling with the weight problem, but I started to solve the problem the very first day I began with this book.. the most shocking fact was the breakfast, since I change the way of taking my meals I've seen my pounds melt away.. Excellent book!!

The book was slow for me at the beginning because I've always hated science. There was a great deal of thorough explanations about how our bodies function and what functions indicate that something is quite wrong. Because of the scientific info which I usually avoid, I continued reading the book until every piece of information filtered in. I have a Dominican culture where the food diet is very heavy starting with breakfast, midafternoon lunch and evening; So it's interesting to learn what NOT to eat, and/or what eat to make our bodies function properly, and simultaneously loose weight without starving to death. And the best about the book were the recipes suggested as samples at the end of the book! I was so used to heavy meals that I couldn't figure out how to make it lighter. The book helped until I got used to it.

My email address is jaime@warwick.com and/or jaimeisaac@sprintmail.com, please reply if this book is available in English because I've been recommending it and most of my friends are not Spanish.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS BOOK IS THE SPANISH TRANSLATION VERSION OF FIT FOR LIFE.

I started on this diet 18 months ago and boy, what a difference.

I am sharper, brighter, more alive, better at my work, more energetic, can eat as much as I like, suffer no ill health or pain and discomfort...I could go on all day but I think you get the idea. This book is not a diet fad, it is a life changer.

You may think that a book talking about fresh fruit and vegetables, air, water, sunshine and exercise is just common sense. Well you would be right, it is. Unfortunately with all the different opinions we receive from health advisers and food companies it is easy to get confused about what we should eat.

I would suggest trying this diet for 10 days and see how you feel. I suspect you will notice an improvement in well being very quickly and any way the money you spend on the book will be paid back by a lower grocery bill (fresh produce is cheaper than cooked or processed). What have you got to lose?

Well done Harvey and Marilyn Diamond for speaking the truth, and thank you.

As soon as I started reading I put in effect all the knowledge acquired in the book. I immediately noticed how my body reacted in a very positive way.

This book is an incredible amount of knowledge for all people of all ages with sufficient conscience to start a new way of eating, not dieting!

Simply you don't need another book on diets and antidiets in fact. This books tells you all about your "system". I personally think that the human body is a nice machine, the only problem is that comes without manuals. This book is the digestive aparatus "manual", it simply changed my life. Now I'm not fully vegetarian, but I learned to eat well, and practically forgot what means stomach problems. A must read book if you have enough will force to order your eating habits.
