Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Somewhat misleading, definitely out of touch
Review: First of all, although a careless purchaser might assume that the author, Oz Garcia, is trained as a physician or scientist, he clearly is not. I was somewhat put off by the fact that places his disclaimer about his lack of medical training in small print on the flipside of the title page. The blurb describes him as a "nutritionist" and a "health authority," but according to what criteria?

Second, I get the impression that he is financially reimbursed somehow for recommending at least some of the companies selling the vitamins, "nutraceuticals," etc., he endorses. I have nothing against this in principle, but I would like to have seen this explicitly acknowledged.

Third, Garcia's recommendations assume that the health-conscious reader is flush with discretionary income and can afford to spend some open-ended amount of money every year towards his proposed "HighTech Body" goals. This is clearly unrealistic when millions of Americans lack even basic health insurance. I would have found his advice more practical if he had broken down his program into a range of affordability. For example, what could you do if you can afford to spend $1,000 extra a year on better health, what could you do for $5,000 a year, etc.

Although the book has some useful information, it smacks too much of marketing towards the super-affluent to be helpful to ordinary people.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Book !
Review: I loved the book. As a novice to the field of mutrition and health I found his way of explaining very complicated concepts like cell therapy and growth hormone easy to understand. Besides taking my knowledge to a much higher level I tried some of the recipes and they were really great. It was the first book on nutrition that I really found helpful.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Book !
Review: This book truly is a global helath guide. The book clearly explains everything from the fundamentals of nutrtion to high tech health. Unlike I have ever seen anyone do before, the author Oz Garcia humbly defers to more than 20 other Doctors and experts in various fields. By doing this he puts together at your fingertips in one volume everything you could possibly want to know. the book is tartgeted to indiviuals who really want to take their nutrition and supplementation to the next level, hence the title The Healthy High Tech Body. The book will teach you and take you to the frontiers of technology and science. It summarizes and explains in easily understandable terms cell therapy, growth hormone, neutraceuticals, injectables, detoxification and brain aging. This book is how we will take care of ourselves in the future based on cutting edge scientific research. There are tens of thousands of people that are currently taking advantage of these high tech therapies. this book will hopefully educate the masses to the potential that exists today for everyone.
