informative and useful
Still working my way through this book.I find it very informative and useful.I've read through "Nourishing Traditions" by Fallon and Enig but found that they relied a little too heavily on Price's work.I like that this book uses more independent sources to put together the information.Definitely worth adding to one's collection if you are a book addict, especially on the subject of nutrition.

A surprisingly excellent scientific work
This is not just another shopping-list of chemicals but an outstandingdissertation of the basis for trace elements and other micro nutrients inour diet and the reasons for the universal lack thereof. Besides its valueas a guide to nutrition, the book providesinsights into our biologicalorigins, as a species, and shows how far from our "natural home"we have strayed. ... Read more

Naturopathic Medicine Text
This is an excellent book that is required reading for a Naturopathic Medicine course that would lead to the N.D. designation, Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine.

"How to Get Well" is an excellent book for health care!
I found many answers to what occurred in my body from this wonderful, simple yet direct book.I love the juice and soup recommendations and the formula for facial skin care. Everything I have tried from the book worked, so it's a keeper that I highly recommend to other people!

Pay attention
In a time when one mostly sees the popular books written by armchair herbalists and sycophantic ND's, I found seeing Dr. Airola's book still in print a distinct pleasure. Dr. Airola not only writes and presents the material well, but he also transmits a charm and a positiveness that ishealing in and of its own self. Dr. Airola practiced what he preached--whatis in his books are the results of his clinical experience. No Bravo Sierrahere.Read more

We ARE free to think and decide
Of the books I read when I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2001, this was the one that seemed most objective. It was also most challenging to blind acceptance of what the medical establishment might have us believe. Cancer treatment is NOT a black-and-white process, and this book shows why. Patients have the right and responsibility to participate in decisions about their health care, and this book gives information to help in the decision-making process. I very much hope that Steve and Cathy will soon publish an update, as the statistics, surgical options, drug regimens, etc have changed dramatically since 1994. Notably absent is mention of DIEP flap breast reconstruction. Nonetheless, this book will never be totally irrelevant, since the process of acquiring knowledge, and the concept that we ARE free to choose our health care, are timeless and liberating.

The ultimate breast cancer reference, naturally
As a naturopathic physician, I have never seen any book on any type of cancer as well thought out and executed as this. What a fantastic resource. I have found answers to questions I've had about this disease over and over again. I can only hope that they'll do a 2nd edition to update the research.

A very good book giving you all the facts for treatments .
The husband and wife team give an excellent view of he treatments and follow up of what to do after treatment. He is the doctor who does the research. She is the person with breast cancer and her choices, and why she chose as she did. And what she is doing now to try and prevent a reoccurence. ... Read more

Internal Cleansing
This is a none-scientific book. It is based on hocus pocus ideas. I threw it away as soon as I got it. I wouldn't even give it to my friends.

How essential for everyone!
Being the author of two books on cleansing and rejuvenating the body, The Amazing Liver and Gallbladder Flush, and Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation, I can only praise Linda's precious work and recommend it to anyone interest in improving his health. Without cleansing the organs and systems of the body we stand little chance of being healthy or restoring our health in this pollution-ridden world. These types of books are what the population now needs to overcome the current impasse that stifles our health care system and makes this a very sick country. Taking responsibilty for our own health is the only real way out of the current crisis that afflicts so many. Reading this book is an eye-opener and will serve you well on your path to good and lasting health.
Informative and knowledgable information
A lot of good information for only one book, you will learn alot about fasting and how your colon and stomach work. A good read for the first timer or people really into health. If you're interested in cleansing yourself or just learning the benefits of why you should, this is it. I would really recomend this book. ... Read more

I was cleared in 3 weeks
I had terrible guttate psoriasis all over my entire body that morphed into plaqualar psoriasis--I suffered with it for six months, bad enough that I was bed-ridden.Even though I'd given up hope, someone bought me this book and I tried it.Using their diet "do's and don'ts" and supplement regimen (yes, it's like 60 vitamins a day.But when your body is crying out for help like that, severity is necessary).I was CLEARED...in three weeks.I almost wonder if the reason this is not known by all the world is because the insurance companies won't make money if everyone knew!Because, at least for me, this book really was a cure, and 4 years later, I've never had another outbreak.I combined this diet, by the way, with UV treatments (which had previously only helped temporarily).

Great Book - Get it. Read it.It will help you.
Finally, an easy to read and understand book that clearly explains what to do to get rid of psoriasis, how to do it, and why other methods commonly in use, such as lots of exposure to direct sunlight or UV light, are potentially very dangerous.Very practical and useful information.I would highly recommend it to anyone who has psoriasis or who has a friend or loved one with psoriasis.It is, as a friend of mine has said, "like a breath of fresh air".

Needs work
Psoriasis is an inflammatory response. Your immune system is overactive. Helping to control it through diet is an essential part of succesful treatment. If you get that part out of this book, great. But the diet here is extreme as the nutritionist's review states. You're better off with a book on treating inflammation such as Floyd Chilton's "Inflammation Nation". Also, as for "it works for me", a day in the ocean does more good than any drug I've ever used. Sun and salt water are wonderfull, not to mention stress reducing. A win all the way around. Hope this helps some of you fellow sufferers. ... Read more

The most valuable book you will ever own!
I have 3 words for you:BUY THIS BOOK!!
Finally a book dedicated to herbs & vitamins
This is good attack on modern medicines use of drugs and how they could be avoided..Since plants can't be patented like drugs so little research is done on thier powers..But if you buy this book you'll be able to do quite a bit of research on herbs, vitamins, amino acids and power foods..I could share things that aren't in this book that work but who knows I might want to sell a remedy myself someday..
THE BEST BOOK ON HERBS/VITAMINS/CURES I HAVE EVER READ.
THIS IS A JEWEL PEOPLE. I OWN ABOUT 25 BOOKS ON HERBS, VITAMINS, AND NATURAL HEALING. THIS BOOK IS BY FAR THE MOST USEFUL OUT OF MY ENTIRE LIBRARY. WHEN I NEED TO KNOW SOMETHING, I GRAB THIS BOOK FIRST, AND RARELY DO I NEED TO GO FURTHER TO ANOTHER BOOK.Read more

Gay Should Have Bought A Sports Car Instead
I have followed Gay Hendricks for decades.I have books, tapes, etc. that have been used over and over again.I was excited when The Breathing Box was published.And I can't describe how disappointed I was with it.
Find your breath.......
One of the main reasons that I came to yoga years ago was to learn how to breathe, based on the advice of my dentist.Yes, my dentist.He had told me that one of the main reasons that I had dental issues was because I was a mouth breather.So, I decided to take up yoga and work on it.I've made a lot of progress over the years, but am always reading things on the importance of breath and constantly working to learn more about the process of strengthening my breathing.

The Most Dog-Eared Book in my Medical Library
I have a busy naturopathic medical practice in Seattle, and this book is invaluable to me.Cell salts are so non-toxic that I feel comfortable using them with all my patients, even those who are on multiple prescription medications.They are safe for children, inexpensive and useful for both acute and chronic conditions. I highly recommend this book for practitioners and lay people alike; it's a great tool for your practice or your household medicine chest.

My Most Used Book.
This homeopathic self-help book is fantastic. It is simple to understand and I was able to put this book into practice right away. There are 12 cell salts, each one replaces a different mineral in the body which in turn heals the body.It has a great index of different health problems and tells which cell salts to use for each.What's best about cell salts is how cheap and safe they are to use.Diane ...

BYPASS THIS ANTIQUE
This review is being written by a patient of Whitaker Wellnes
IM DRUG FREE, THANK YOU
My first exposure to Dr. WHitaker was on the Bryant Gumbel's special "The National Health Test."The Doctor's secrets for lifelong health is simple really.But there is so much information here, that is a must for anyone who is taking medicine. There is an alternative to the poison that traditional doctors get us hooked and dependent on. I have now passed my copy of the book along to my family memebers.

buy from me
while I have not read the book, I do subscribe to his newsletters for $80 a year. I wonder if most or all of the same info. is in the book as the newsletters. In the newsletters he tells you to buy his vitamins and herbs with a strange name, from his store, at elevated prices such as nicain which he names Niasafe and charges a lot more than regular niacin at the drug store or vitamin store. He never mentions regular brand names of supplements that are probably totally acceptable and a lot cheaper. so while I have not read the book, the info. in the newsletters is ok but there is a lot of info. that I know about that he never mentioned. If I have to subscribe for another year to get more info. that I have not yet gotten, I wonder if it is in this book. ... Read more

Awesome!Fantastic..
A must read for anyone who would like to know why he or she is sick and the answers to solving those problems. Thank you.
I really loved this book. I have read many health books and this one, by far, is the best. When my dad found out he had cancer he called John on the phone and john talked with my dad (free of charge) and helped him through finding something that would work for him. changed our lives
Though this book is modest and is filled with silly cartoons, the information inside is fantastic. A friend recommended it to me years ago when I first got sick with Chonic Fatigue. I wish I had read it then. My husband and I take it with us everywhere, use the recipes and generally use it as a ref. book all the time. We both feel sig. better as a result of the info. ...

Excellent Homeopathic Remedy Reference
Some of the medical info is dated in this book, as it to be expected as it's 5 years old now, but the reference on the Homeopathic Remedies is just fabulous.I bought it for that alone (that is most of the book anyway), ilove how she explains which remedy is for what.Just excellent and ibought it on that merit alone.Great reference, worth the $$

This book is absolutely worth having.

Informative and fun...not boring
Books that deal with preventative health issues are of great interest to me because I learn so much and my life always improves.This is one of those books that is not boring, but such a great joy to read.A physician friend recommended it because it deals with the whole issue of how and where we eat and not just what we should eat. WHAT YOU EAT HAS A PROFOUND AFFECT--AND EFFECT
This book is a new kind of nutrition guide. It starts with an overview about how so many of us have spun out of control with food--66% are overweight or obese and even more Americans obsess about food by what Kesten describes as "counting calories, watching weight and figuring fat--both in food and our bodies." It then goes on to explain how diet can radically affect more than physical health, that it also influences how a person feels emotionally, even spiritually. The antidote to our disordered eating is the remainder of the book, which turns to science and story-telling to explain long-lost secrets about the many ways food heals. Finally, this book offers a step-by-step, practical solution to eating well and to actually enjoying your food at the same time. This book is highly informative and enlightening. My only criticism: This isn't a cookbook, but I would've liked to see some recipes. Still, it brings up and answers a lot of diet and food questions that other books on the subject miss or ignore completely. It's a gem.

DEMYSTIFYING OPTIMAL EATING
Unlike most books about food and diet, this book is a celebration of the intelligence inherent in both food and in human beings. The approach and guidelines outlined in this book could save you years of confusion about the best way to eat. By merging food wisdom of ancient civilizations and religions into an effective and scientifically validated approach, this book has had a profound influence on my life, the role of food in it, and my health--both mental and physical. I found the "Personal Food Profile" quiz to be an invaluable tool for feedback. Read it--no, savor it--for a new understanding of food. ... Read more
