Does read like an informercial, but it's not all bad!.......2007-06-26

I use Revival Soy products (the shakes & protein bars, low carb versions) on a regular basis and enjoy them for the most part. It one of the few products I've ever used that have actually done for me what they say it does. It's helped greatly alleviate my PMS symptoms, clear up my skin, and more. My husband doesn't need further convincing to keep Revival Soy in my life...he doesn't miss the PMS witch at all! Even with the controversies that surround soy products, I stick with Revival Soy...I don't want to go back to what I was (or how I felt) before it.

With that said, when I heard that Dr. Tabor and Revival Soy were coming out with a diet book, I got excited and actually looked forward to reading it. (I hate reading diet books.)

Well, by chance I was able to get a free copy. I'm glad I got it for free, as I would not have been completely happy if I had to pay more than a few bucks for this book.

The biggest reason? This book does come off as a informercial. I've caught myself rolling my eyes on more than one occasion...and I'm only 1/2 way through the book!

Despite that, I have found a lot of great tidbits and inspiration to help keep me motivated in my current weight loss journey. While I'm not doing the Revival Diet plan per se, (I prefer to stick with my low carb diet) I still enjoyed some of what the book had to say and gave me some new ideas and inspiration to work with.

To me the real value of this book is in the psychology of going through the weight loss process. Losing weight is not easy...but if we can keep a positive attitude about it - about ourselves - we will enjoy the journey of change better than just a quick fix plan.

If you can pick up this book for "cheap" then I think you will find some gems in there worth reading. If you're not a fan of informercials, then stay away!

Worst book ever..........2007-04-19

There is nothing in this book that hasn't been said before and it points out in numerous places that you have to follow the entire plan exactly. Which means living off of the author's products. It was like reading over 150 pages of an infomercial.

Not worth the price..........2007-04-18

This diet book provides Dr. Aaron Tabor yet another forum from which to tout his soy products. Interspersed with recommendations about a variety of other supplements (all of which I had heard about previously), this book contains such breakthrough diet advice as: eat small to be small. The tidbits provided by Dr. Tabor's mother, while mildly amusing, offered little in the way of useful material. It may interest readers to know that mama knew it was time to do something when she looked like an overstuffed sausage casing in her slimming undergarment, but these interspersed comments get annoying quickly and seem more like filler than useful advice. This program isn't unique - it's simply repackaged material from a dozen different books already on the market.

Great New Book!.......2007-04-05

Unfortunately, current popular diets offered to consumers focus only on weight loss, not total-body beauty inside and out. Dr. Aaron Tabor, M.D., a graduate of the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, has created his next-generation "The Revival Slim and Beautiful Diet." The program is the first clinically proven inside-out makeover diet plan for dramatic weight loss and improved skin, hair, and nail appearance, year round.

"Using topically applied creams and lotions is only 50 percent of battle against the visible signs of aging. The other 50 percent starts inside for a slim figure and gorgeous skin, hair, and nails," said Dr. Tabor.

Developed during the past seven years at some of the nation's top hospitals, "The Revival Slim and Beautiful Diet" was originally created to rescue Dr. Tabor's mother, Suzanne Tabor, from what he calls a "midlife meltdown." His mother experienced a rapidly expanding waistline, deepening wrinkle appearance, dull hair, brittle nails, menopausal hot flashes and night sweats. The program was carefully designed as a simple, yet effective, diet and physical activity plan to help dieters achieve:

* An average weight loss of 26 to 29 pounds in just sixteen weeks (among the best results ever published in medical history);
* A rapid reduction in belly fat (up to 25 percent or more in sixteen weeks) with a reduced waist circumference;
* Improved appearance of wrinkles and skin with less roughness and better coloration;
* Increase in hair silkiness with reduced dullness and better manageability;
* Sexier nails with less splitting, ridging and flaking;
* A reduction in hunger and cravings for sweet, salty, and crunchy foods;
* Promotion of better energy levels with protein-packed, low-glycemic "smart-carb" choices; and
* Promotion of normal hormonal health (including reduction of hot flashes), bone health, and cholesterol levels.

Revival dieters did not experience the typical weight loss "plateau" seen in many other diets, thus indicating that Revival dieters can continue to lose significant weight well beyond the initial sixteen weeks.

"The Revival Slim and Beautiful Diet" book, co-authored by Dr. Tabor and his mother Suzanne, encompasses unique and tangible research-based guidelines to help dieters achieve maximum, long-term results. The eight-chapter book not only highlights the physical steps needed to successfully diet, but it also touches upon the psychological aspects. Chapter three, entitled "The Ten Psychological Commandments of Permanent Weight Loss," addresses the deeper meanings of dieting and helps consumers become mentally determined for permanent weight loss. When the principles learned from the aforementioned chapter are paired with the more actively involved guidelines in such chapters as "The Fifteen Physical Laws of Accelerated Weight Loss," and "Put A Tiger In Your Tank...Energize Me!" dieters are guaranteed to experience a lasting "inside-out nutritional makeover."

"The proven power and simplicity of `The Revival Slim and Beautiful Diet' can help any dieter improve the way they look and feel," said Dr. Tabor. Tabor continued, "Looking great isn't vanity. It's victory. This diet is designed to help people lose weight, look beautiful and live healthier, empowered lives."

Book Description

Bikram, the "hot yoga" program, has been heating up the yoga world lately, and its founder probably has something to do with it: The outspoken, dramatic, and always controversial Bikram Choudhury has garnered a lot of attention with his version of hatha yoga that some yogis think unorthodox: In his classes, students are stuck in a room heated to at least 105 degrees doing a structured program of 26 asanas with a sergeant–like instructor––and they love it. Bikram Yoga will emulate that same energy.

With his take–no–prisoners philosophy, Bikram describes how the program can reap great medical, physical, and spiritual benefits––the poses work out every part of the body, all of which can help alleviate many common ailments, from asthma to back pain. (Photographs will accompany each pose.) In addition, the book offers the best ways to incorporate eastern philosophy into a western lifestyle and tips on how yoga can cultivate "a union between body and spirit." Simply put, you don't have to meditate passively to reap the benefits of yoga.

A Guide for At Home Practice.......2007-09-15
I have attended Bikram Yoga classes, but the studio is far from my house. This book allows me to practice at home, using the book as a guide. The author provides a description for each pose and what areas of the body each pose may benefit the most. Although the sequence of poses is meant to be practiced in order, if you have a specific problem, you can look up which pose(s) may help. Bikram Chourdhury also provides some information and explanations related to yoga. This book contains some yoga theory but the book's primary use is for applied practice.
Amazing book.......2007-09-14
Choudhury's book on the practice of Bikram yoga is life-altering. I currently practice Bikram yoga, which is why I decided to pick up this book. I am so glad I did because it enhanced my practice and my thinking about myself, and life. I recommend this book highly. It's an easy read, fun and most of all, incredibly informative.
No surprises, more info on Bikram philosophy.......2007-08-30
This product is designed to enhance your Bikram yoga practice. If you are not a practicing yogi, then much of the book will be mysterious theory only. This book has helped me understand what yoga practice is supposed to do for my body. My postures are deeper and more in balance. Essential reading for the serious Bikram yogi.
This book sucks.......2007-08-16
Make sure to read Scott Meredith's review--he is right on! I won't repeat his excellent and insightful comments. However, I ended up with a completely different conclusion from his.

Bikram's book is by far the worst yoga book I ever bought. He comes across as arrogant, condescending and annoyingly opinionated. As Meredith points out, Bikram's discussion of yoga is biased (as if he came up with the whole concept of yoga!), and the descriptions of asanas (i.e., poses) is so simple and crude that I wouldn't be surprised if most people without prior yoga experience ended up injuring themselves following his instructions.

The biggest disappointment for me was to learn about the size of Bikram's ego. He comes across so biggeted, conceited and pompous that I stopped reading the book half way in. I kept hoping that his ego would get out of the way, but nope, that didn't happen... This is the first yoga book I ended up throwing out.

Want something way better to read? Check these out for asanas and general backgroud on practice:
1. Iyengar's "Yoga" and "Light on yoga", as well as his daughter Geeta's "Yoga: A gem for women." These are classics and for a good reason: they are clear, detailed, unbiased, and geared towards helping readers appreciate the subtleties of each asana.
2. Eric Schiffman's "Yoga: The spirit and practice of moving into stillness." You probably won't get any better, detailed instructions and descriptions. Tons of pictures too!
3. Miriam Austin's "Cool yoga tricks." I think the goofy title of this book underplays the quality of its content. This book is awesome when it comes to using props and adjusting asanas to fit your body.
4. Silva, Mira and Shyam Mehta's "Yoga the Iyengar way."
5. Gary Kraftsow's "Yoga for wellness." THE book on Viniyoga.
6. David Swenson's "Ashtanga yoga: The practice manual." This is perhaps the best one I found on Ashtanga. I really like the sequencing of poses and his inclusion of drishties (where to look at when you're in a pose).

For yoga philosohy, try these:
1. Georg Feuerstein's "The yoga tradition"--there's just nothing better than this... This guy definitely knows his stuff. The book is encyclopedic.
2. Peter Connolly's "A student's guide to the history and philosophy of yoga."
3. Desikachar's "The heart of yoga."
4. Eliade's "Yoga: Immortality and freedom."
5. Carrera's "Inside the yoga sutras."

I ended buying Bikram's book not only to round up my library, but also to learn more about his style. I'm not too crazy about, as Meredith points out, the "one size fits all" approach that characterizes Bikram's yoga (in addition to the heated rooms), but hey, that's his shtik. What I really did not appreciate at all was his constant self-aggrandizing throughout the book. I found it way too distracting and unbecoming a yoga teacher.
Very few pictures, how do you learn???.......2007-08-07
I was very disappointed with this book and would give it 0 stars if I could. On the advice of my doctor I bought it online to learn some stretching exercises for some pain I'm experiencing. Over 300 pages and there are very few pictures. Maybe I bought the wrong book, but how is one to learn if there are no pictures demonstrating how to make the positions?

Simple, easy to understand, highly beneficial.......2007-08-23
This book clearly explains what wellness and how to achieve it. Yes, it may seem like an ad for chiropractors, but not many people know how chiropractic is beneficial outside of neck and back pain. It also is a one stop resource for healthy eating habits, exercise habits, and a good way to restore you mental vitality. THIS IS WHAT WELLNESS IS ABOUT.
Simply a no-nonsense guide.......2007-06-03
Written by Dr. Bob Hoffman and Dr. Jason A. Deitch, Discover Wellness: How Staying Healthy Can Make You Rich is a guide to not only improving one's health and quality of life, but also foster pocketbook savings in the process. Chapters are filled with simple, time-tested methods for fostering improved health, from consciously applying better posture to promote spinal health to simple stretches ideal for engendering flexibility to guidelines for proper nutrition and exercise, the value of eating organic foods, and much more. Discover Wellness is simply a no-nonsense guide to help more people become less sick through inexpensive and easy-to-follow guidelines, and while not a substitute for a doctor's care, is decidedly invaluable for its practical preventative measures. Highly recommended.
I Discovered The Truth When I Discovered Wellness!!.......2007-04-11
After reading Discover Wellness, even the most casual observer can recognize how painfully obvious it is that making better/smarter lifestyle choices will result in an overall improvement of health and well-being. What I like about this book is that it puts all of this information into perspective and makes it not only easy to understand, but actually easy to implement and follow. I can - and now want to - do this! I can AND WILL be healthier!

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!.......2007-04-11
When I first opened this book, I thought it was just going to be another "cookie-cutter" health and fitness "how to" book. Boy, was I wrong! This book is filled with things I never even thought about! I've always heard the saying, "you are what you eat" but I never heard "you are what you THINK!" The bottom line is, if you want to have a healthy body, you have to have healthy thoughts and emotions. Just as it's important to avoid toxic chemicals, it's important to avoid toxic thoughts. Easier said then done, but I'm practicing what I learned in Discover Wellness and I already see some impressive improvements.

The Best Info at the Right time.......2007-04-10
The information presented in Discover Wellness has been included in some of the hottest discussions in corporate America and is an important part of the platform in the 2008 Presidential Election. It is an easy read intended to provide as much information as possible so you can educate yourselves, family and friends and community about the magnitude of America's health care crisis. Unfortunately, this isn't an issue that we can ignore because it's NOT going away. If you want to keep up on how "staying health can make you rich" then this book is a must read!

Book Description
For thousands of years, Chinese women have trusted traditional Chinese medicine to help them conceive. A recent medical study found that women who augmented Western fertility treatments with TCM, traditional Chinese medicine, doubled their chances of a succesful pregnancy. THE INFERTILITY CURE gives women an effective, natural means of supporting their efforts to get pregnant. Based on techniques and remedies drawn from traditional Chinese medicine, this program shows readers how to increase their overall health and well-being, strengthen the organs and systems vital to reproduction, heal specific conditions that may affect fertility, and even support Western-based reproductive technology such as IVF and hormone therapy. Dr. Lewis' easy-to-follow program begins with diagnosis, using an extensive questionnaire to determine each reader's unique diagnostic category. The next three steps involve bringing a woman's body back into balance through diet, acupressure, and Chinese herbs. By following this program, women will be able to create a welcoming physical and emotional environment for what they desire most: a child.

Very informative.......2007-10-17
I started doing acupuncture to help my infertility and this book was very informative to understand how it works. At times it was a little bit of information overload. But topics were organized well and explained clearly. I had a much better understanding of how traditional Chinese medicine approaches improving fertility and it has really increased my interest in my acupuncture sessions. Definitely a recommended read for those pursuing this treatment.
Excellent Resource for Alternative Fertility Treatments.......2007-08-21
I just put my 6 week old son to bed-- the result of following a combination of this books' practices as well as an endocrinologist' testing and -- I believe-- just plain grace from the Lord-- While I am sure you could follow everything to a "T" and not get pregnant, I found her holistic advice to be a great counterpoint to Western medicine's sole focus on getting your eggs, uterine lining, and his sperm to behave-- But I DO think it is important to start any fertility journey by getting tested to be sure that all of your "parts" so to speak are in order. (ie HSG, ultrasound for ovaries and uterine lining, post coital test, etc) What she proposes isn't easy and involves reducing stress, radically changing your diet, and taking gross herbs, but I found all of the treatments would compliment Western medicine. In my personal case, I followed all her advice-- with the guidance of a licensed acupuncturist. (I would NEVER attempt to decide myself about the herbs, acu points, etc. ) from reducing stress to diet change. In addition, once I had naturally achieved pregnancy-- I continued treatment and monitoring from my RE for low progesterone.
Good information.......2007-07-23
I bought this book while I was struggling with infertility. I'm happy to say that I finally have a beautiful baby girl. It's been a while since I read this book, but I attribute it to me living a more natural lifestyle and really thinking about how the chemicals around us could have affected my fertility. I recommend this book to anyone looking for a way to help the process along, naturally.
Didn't cure me, but comprehensive nonetheless.......2007-07-18
I can't say that I was cured after reading or applying the information from this book, however, I still suggest this for people in the midst of struggling. One of the things that I really needed when I first began treatments was to feel that I had a sense of control over what felt completely out of my hands. Reading this book gave me that enpowerment. I worked through the surveys and learned an alternative way of thinking about my body. I was then able to take that information to an acupuncturist and have an intelligent conversation about my condition.

While I know very little about TCM, this book was comprehensive and carefully thoughtout. I did not feel overwhelmed by the material and it provided me with an education on an area of fertility treatment that has worked for many others.

The only downside to this book was that it tried to deal with too many possible diagnosis situations. Many of the chapters did not apply to my situation and therefore not necessary for my reading. I did, however, pass the book onto others, making the entire book worthwhile.
Buy before trying to conceive.......2007-07-16
This book is one of the best that I've read regarding fertility. Since it's marketed as "infertility", I didn't read until I had been trying for a while, but recommend this book as one to read BEFORE you start trying to conceive.

Excellent Book, easy to read and very informative.......2007-09-26
My sister, who is an Holistic Counselor, suggested that me and my Fiance read this book to help with his digestive problems that severely impact his life. I'm totally impressed with the information presented in this book; not only does the author discuss remedies to common, yet severe, digestive issues, but she takes the time to describe the digestive system in a way that anyone can understand. The initial description of the digestive system and the way that our bodies convert the items we ingest is, to me, the key to fully understanding the remedies she presents. I believe that the contents in this book are so valuable that I wonder why some of it is not included in high school curricula.

With the marvels of technology (Amazon digital books), I was able to read this excellent, informative book over the weekend, apply what I learned, and reap some of the benefits immediately before the weekend was over--even BEFORE the hard-copy arrives tomorrow through my two-day Amazon Prime membership! I wish ALL books were instantly available to us digitally while we wait for the hard copy (I like having both!)

The information in this book is an effective reminder of what I already knew but sometimes forgot the importance of doing; other things were brand new to me. It's a quick and easy read, and the author tells us precisely what the recommendations are, in what amounts, when, and why. A wise, loving, and responsible purchase for anyone with a family member who struggles with digestive disorders.

We're all going to die!!.......2007-03-08
I'm considered by others to be pretty up (and fairly fanatical) on health issues, though I do go for the occasional bag of chips. This book made me feel like a downright slacker! It also strikes me as being very, well, of the American culture of fear. Everything is terrible and going to kill you. The air you breathe, the chemicals on everything... you should bathe in filtered water?? Come on!

We all know it's not an ideal world, but this book will have anyone taking it too seriously in a real tizzy as you can't do a thing without causing yourself and those you love some grievous bodily harm.

It's interesting, but take it with a grain of salt. Oh wait-- NOT SALT!!
a great book .......2007-01-14
THis is a great book to do more education and raise awareness than to make you eat herbs.
Right On.......2006-10-24
Dr. Weil is right up there with Rayna Gangi on attempting to educate the public on taking charge of their health. I actually think the two books, Gangi's and Weil's should be purchased as one because as two it is a powerful set of instruction, experience and wisdom to help anyone who's interested in at least trying to take charge of their own health. Weil is less holistic than Gangi, as evidenced in the chapters on specific "remedies" for specific conditions, and Gangi is more spiritual in several chapters than Weil is. All in all, a great book for beginners or those advanced in understanding alternative health.
Great Reference on obtaining and maintaining good health.......2006-06-09
Dr. Weil has a rare outlook that you wish all health practitioners had. Specifically, he tries to take the best from traditional and natural medicine to help patients get and stay well instead of picking one of the two sides and calling the other side evil.
This book is a great reference for all kinds of questions you might have about health. Dr. Weil goes into detail on such basic yet crucial subjects as what you should eat and drink, how much exercise is enough, how to avoid cancer and heart disease to the extent possible, the role of dietary supplements, and even mental health. The majority of his answers to health questions will probably not be completely new to you, although I have never seen such a eclectic combination of viewpoints in one book before. What is particularly helpful is that Dr. Weil doesn't just tell you that you need to exercise, he tells you what goes on in your body if you do and if you don't. He doesn't just tell you to eat your vegetables, he points out that as infants we all loved vegetables and that it is probably the fact that vegetables become particularly unpalatable if served incorrectly that has trained us to dislike them. At the end of the book he has included some very delicious recipes to help you retrain your tastes.
Dr. Weil talks about various chronic diseases such as diabetes and has advice for diet, exercise, and supplementation in each case. I particularly liked his unique definition of depression as a state of high energy turned inward and negative. He states that you will never come to terms with your depression if you suppress it. He advises that you learn to own your depressions, appreciate them, and transform them, thus constructively using the energy they contain in the process.
I highly recommend this book to people of all ages who want common sense advice and recommendations involving achievable behavior on how to obtain good health.

I think many people w TMJ problems will be helped greatly by this book and they should follow the advice but as a 35 year TMJ sufferer I would advise all to seek out cold laser therapy and you just may realize a miracle!!
it is sometimes called low level laser therapy, but what it has done for my knee that NO ONE else could do( and for my hand )is close to miraculous. Now I am being worked on for TMJ w/ it But this book is my TMJ bible that goes w/ my cold laser therapy. It is sensible and overall excellent! I have great hope I will be well soon!!
Practical, tangible and fast SELF-help.......2007-07-24
If you want fast, tangible and significant results this is the book to get. I caught my clenching and/or bruxing early. However I'd chipped a rear molar in my my sleep. Both of my rear molar were extremely temperature and pressure sensitive to the point that eating, drinking and tooth brushing were pure misery. I suffered from a constant sick headache, and if I happened to accidently graze a rear-upper molar with a lower one, the pain just about sent me through the roof.

I seriously had visions of having both of those teeth pulled as they hurt almost as much as a bona fide toothache. Sadly the book told of people who had done exactly that under similar circumstances, but to their sorrow despite the missing teeth the pain remained. Hence the cause wasn't a dental one per se.

I followed the books directions, and along with one of those mouth guards that you boil in water, the results were nothing short of miraculous. Once the book made me realize which muscles were responsible for the transferred pain in my upper-rear molars, hot compresses provided short-term quick and tangible relief against them and also pressed against my cheeks and jaw joint and muscles. The stretches and exercises provided the long-term results I'd say that easily alleviated over 99 percent of my discomfort that is gone nearly all of the time now. When I do have an occasional twinge, I simply redo some of the stretching and strengthening exercises, and I'm good to go.

Just as an FYI my TMJ flared up shortly after I began the See Clearly Method for myopia. I've no idea if there was a correlation, but another reviewer made a similar observation. I'd urge the potential reader and TMJ sufferer to get this book first before they immediately jump to allopathic surgical procedures that are irreversible and sometimes not only don't help but makes things far worse. I sincerely hope this helps whoever may read this. And I am very grateful to the author for this invaluable book that came to my awareness in such a timely fashion.
Very helpful.......2007-06-27
I bought this based on reviews, and was not disappointed. The exercises really help. I realized how bad my posture was!
This book helped me get my life back.......2007-05-20
I have been suffering with myofascial pain for over 4 years. I have been diagnosed as having trigeminal neuralgia and prescribed Neurontin for the pain. I have seen doctors, dentists, neurologists, and chiropractors. I have been x-rayed, CT scanned and MRI-ed, all with no indication of what was troubling me. Fortunately for me Jehovah God answered my prayers for help and I met Dr. Martha Cortés. While conducting an interview with her for Doctor of Dentistry magazine, I had a pain spasm which she quickly noticed. She took one look into my mouth and immediately diagnosed the problem and suggested that I get a partial plate to help retrain the muscles in my jaw. On that tip I did further research which lead me to this book. The book is quite easy to read and understand. I developed a total health plan suggested by the author and within one week I was seeing amazing results. I highly recommend this book to anyone suffering with facial pain and to dentists as well.
You Might Have TMJ.......2007-04-26
http://www.uslink.net/~uppgaard/jmpsttreat.htm

The above link is from the author's website; if it helps you, it is only the beginning of the advise he offers in his book.

TCOTMJ is well-written and offers inexpensive treatment for the pain caused by TMJ. If you think you might have TMJ just ask yourself this: does your face hurt? Your jaw? Your neck? If you said yes at least once, just assume you've got TMJ right now and buy this book. Really.

It will help make you more aware of your own body, which really, really helps you avoid doing things that can cause pain (for example, I have just read that crossing my legs when I sit messes with my posture, my muscle alignment, and hence my jaw. I cross my legs allthe time, and now I am learning to catch myself and stop it).

The author of this book seems to have devoted himself to TMJ treatment, and appears to be under-selling his book on amazon. I for one feel more than happy to part with my [...] to thank this man for the help he's given me with my own pain and that of my boyfriend, who has had TMJ for years, and hopefully neither of us will ever need surgery for it!!

(since I started writing this I have un-crossed my legs 3 times! Thank goodness for this book!)

Book Description
At 19 years old, Jordan Rubin was a healthy 6'1" and 180 pounds. Shockingly, his weight fell to just 104 lbs. in a matter of months. His immune system was at an all-time low, as he suffered from Crohn's disease, food allergies, anemia, fibromyalgia, intestinal parasites, and a host of other conditions. After seeing over 70 health professionals, using both conventional and alternative medicines, Rubin was sent home in a wheelchair to die. But his story didn't end there. Through determination and a powerful faith in God, Rubin refused to give in to disease. Instead, he educated himself on natural health (eventually becoming a doctor of naturopathic medicine), and applied its principles. Now, ten years later, Rubin is fully recovered-and he desires to share the keys to his own good health. These keys aren't just for the disease-ridden; they are for anyone desiring to live an abundant life of health and wellness.

Anyone looking to have a better quality of life should pick up this book without hesitation. The book is full of common sense and not so common sense advice on how to improve your health in a variety of ways.

We've already added a water filter to our shower head and could tell a difference on the first use: chlorine is BAD for you and your skin.

Well worth it.

This book changed my eating habits and provided awesome aternatives that fed and nourished my entire body soul and spirit.

This was accomplished by the use of sound, Biblical principles that have been thoroughly researched and put into a can do format.

Jordan Rubin has produced an insired work that can bring health and wellness to all.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who desires definite results, no matter where they are in questing excellent health.

I Never Knew How Decieved I Was Until..........2006-09-26
This books has radically changed my life. After reading this book it made me realize throughout my entire life I have been taught to eat all the wrong foods. This book will take you back to the way we are supposed to take care of our bodies and not allow cancer and disease take over our bodies.

Not only do I look and feel better, but my husband and I have lost a total of 35 pounds within the last 4 months! I was never overweight, but I didn't know I had weight that was unnecessary.

I not only reccommend this bood to everyone I know, but I highly reccommend this book to everyone I don't know. This WILL change your life!

Everything that we need to know, God has put it in the bible. God showed Jordan and Jordan has simply bolded the print.

Thank you God and thank you Jordan Rubin!

Changed my life!.......2007-07-28
These audio cd's are fantastic. I listen to them in the car and find myself wishing for traffic (so the ride lasts longer). I definately look at my health differently. It has really inspired me to take control of my families health and nutrition.
Excellent!.......2007-03-09
I thoroughly enjoyed the first round of listening to this very informative and educational lecture series and I'm still learning more every time I repeat the series. It is a wealth of information and Dr. Hyman spells things out in both medical and layman terms, providing plenty of real life examples to give the information perspective. This is a series that anyone with an open mind and desire to improve their health will benefit from.
Everything but the kitchen sink on Nutrition!.......2007-02-12
I can't get enough of Dr. Hyman. I loved Ultraprevention, Ultrametabolism and now the Five Forces of Wellness. I tried the elimination diet he recommends and feel fantastic.

I dicovered I have a problem with digesting gluten. I feel so much better after elminating gluten from my diet. My kids are now gluten-free and are doing better in so many ways. I believe gluten should not be allowed in our food supply.

After listening to Dr. Hyman, I discovered my Thyroid levels were actually undesirable. The lab was using old information so my physician assumed my thyroid was fine. The ideal range for your TSH is between 1 & 2. Celiac Disease ( a gluten intolerance) can lead to thyroid problems. If I had eliminated gluten sooner, I probably wouldn't have a thyroid problem now.
Amazing!.......2007-01-06
Thank you...Thank you...Thank you! I had my suspicions about what was going on with my body...now I know. And better, I know how to fix it. Dr. Hyman, you rock!
