Summary: Helped my allegies and asthma
Review: Because of my allergies and asthma, I was on Zyrtec, Advair, and had to carry an albuterol inhaler everywhere I went. I did the diet some years ago and it worked well. After seeing this book somewhere I decided to give it a try.
After reading this book I thought he Dr. Atikin's lost it this time. There are a lot of vitamins he wants you to take. Plus he started selling his own line of vitamins so I thought "ahhh, that's why." I talked to my doctor about it and he said it wouldn't work, you would just be waisting money because your body will piss it all away (literaly). I was spending $150 on medications, the vitamins were about $20, so I thought I'd give it a try.
Well, I tried it, and it worked. I felt a lot better, and I didn't need to take the medications anymore.

Summary: The Best "Vitamin" Book Ever Written
Review: I last reviewed "Dr. Atkins' Vita-Nutrient Solution" on the morning of 9/11/01...the darkest day in our country's great history. Since that day, I have come to have a greater appreciation for the work of the late Dr. Atkins. He dedicated his life to helping people...more than most people will ever realize. "Vita-Nutrient Solution" is one of what I refer to as Dr. Atkins
"triology" (the other two are "Age-Defying Diet" and "New Diet Revolution") of "anti-aging breakthroughs"...books designed to help people live longer, healthier, happier and more productive lives. What a great "legacy" he left for mankind indeed. His work will live on for many generations to come. I've been involved in the nutritional supplement industry for 11 years now. As an avid educator of the public about the positive benefits of proper nutritional supplementation, I can honestly say "Vita-Nutrient Solution" offers the most scientific-based information - and most important of all - real world proof (60,000 patients in 30 years treated at his Center for Complimentary Medicine) that nutritional supplements DO INDEED WORK! Dr. Atkins trained under & studied the works of some of the world's most respected nutritional experts
(Carlton Fredericks, Weston A. Price, Roger Williams, Adelle Davis). Dr. Atkins combined the knowledge & wisdom of these experts, along with the advances made in modern science, to "master" nutritional therapies for a wide range of health conditions, most notably for diseases of the cardiovascular system and insulin-related disorders.
Unlike most other books, which are based more on speculation / theory / hype, and are not well researched, Dr. Atkins wrote from a very unique perspective - he used these supplements on tens of thousands of people in his own medical practice...with people living under "real world" conditions - not in a "controlled environment" (laboratory) ! "Vita-Nutrient Solution" is loaded with reliable information on all of the key vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, amino acids, essential fatty acids needed by the human body to prevent & reverse many of "20th century diet-induced" ailments that plague our country today...due mostly to the over-consumption of refined sugar, white flour and man-made fats (hydrogenated oils, trans fats), as well as our heavy reliance on pharmaceutical drugs that only cover-up symptoms, do not address the CAUSE of the "disease state", and DEPLETE your body of the very nutrients needed to heal itself! By learning which nutrients your body MUST HAVE, what happens when you have sub-optimal levels of these nutrients, and how your body can heal itself when it is has what it needs, you can experience optimal health...despite what the TRILLION DOLLAR A YEAR American pharmaceutical "cartel" would have you beleive! "Vita-Nutrient Solution" contains essential information about supplements that you will not find in other books. For example.....Do you know that there are EIGHT different natural forms of vitamin E? Do you know what the most effective form of vitamin B12 is? Do you know that a special form of a B complex vitamin significantly lowers cholesterol & triglycerides - with absolutely no side-effects what so ever! This is only a sample of some of the "secrets" you'll discover in "Vita-Nutrient Solution". You'll discover supplements that 99% of the public has never heard about that can perform "miracles" for heart disease, diabetes, cancer, macular degeneration, Alzheimer's & many other "incurable" diseases of our times. If you take vitamins, are considering taking them for the first time, or if you want to address specific health problems without having to rely on over-priced, highly toxic pharmaceutical drugs, then you must read this book!

Summary: No more prescripton antidepressants
Review: I refused to take the "you'll just have to accept things as they are' approach my physician gave me. This book has helped me become healthier, as well as the rest of my family. Your health is in 'your' hands too, they don't seem to teach prevention in med school as much as they do treatment. Dr. Atkin's book should really be on everyone's bookshelf.

Summary: A TRUE 'Must Read'!
Review: If you are SERIOUS about taking control of your own health - you MUST read Vita-Nutrient Solution! This is simply the BEST book ever written about nutritional supplements - and how you can use them to prevent and treat a wide number of health problems from Alzheimer's disease to zits. Everything Atkins says comes from personal experience, not theory or conjectures, as is the case with almost every other book of this type. Dr. Atkins has proven through the treatment of tens of thousands of patients in his clinic that what he says really does work. This is the ULTIMATE PROOF of all. Dr. Atkins covers every essential vitamin, mineral, amino acid and essential fatty acid, along with many nutrients you have never heard of. He gives very clear, concise information about what each nutrient does, how to use it, what dosage to take and what the most effective forms of the nutrient are. And at the end of the book he provides you with a comprehensive list of the nutrients and dosages to take for specific health conditions. I've been involved in the health food industry for 9 years. And I can honestly say that 'Dr. Atkins' Vita-Nutrient Solution' is hands down the best book available on nutritional supplements. This book is worth it's weight in gold. Order this book NOW! It will be one of the smartest decisions you'll ever make. My friend recommended this book highly and she recommended a great new beverage that replaced my morning cup of joe. Caffeine made me too jittery so I switched to a soy-based coffee that taste simply amazing. When I use my percolator it comes out with a rich, full bodied taste. Search under "S oyfee" on google to find it.

Summary: Explore the options.
Review: Like Dr. Murry's Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine, Dr. Atkins book acts as a reference resource beyong compare. Many of us yearn to take our health into our own hands. With comprehensive books such as this, we can learn more and consequently demand more from our health care professionals. These are not "non-cures". Nature can provide an abundance of what our bodies need. When we are ill, we just need them in a more concentrated form. Dr Atkins solutions have validity. One site I have found where we can find the types of vita-nutrients that Atkins recommends is Papanature. His prices, service, selection are the best I have found. His documentation of these products correspond with the same information proposed by Atkins.

Summary: Robert Atkin's best book to date.
Review: Only an overpaid doctor would recommend a zillion pricey supplements for a single condition, (28 for vascular health alone!) But Dr. Atkins does this with authority in a book which is well organized and clearly expressed. He truly knows his subject and gives the reader confidence in following his advice - if it can be afforded! I got the hardback edition because it will be in use for a very long time in my home.

Summary: Excellent content, but disregard the conspiracy theory
Review: This book has useful and helpful information about vitamins, minerals, amino acids and their role in the body. I couldn't be happier with the technical part, very well documented. However, a big con of this book is Dr. Atkins' huge ego and conspiracy theories. He almost claims that he started the vitamin hype and the nutrition-based approach to medicine. We know this is not true. Many others deserve so much more credit. Also, he goes down a path of silly and unfounded arguments about how the government is evil and doesn't want to raise the RDA of certain nutrients. This is silly. The RDA should be as low as it can be. Otherwise food manufacturers would be adding tons of unnecessary vitamins to food, more than the bare minimum to just prevent diseases. People would feel compelled to take mega doses of vitamins without proper information about them. It's up to us to raise our intake if we want to. RDA is not supposed to be the optimum amount for everyone, just the minimum to prevent simple deficiencies that could cause diseases. Also, he uses intricate reasoning to arrive at conclusions that vitamins are not more widespread because food manufacturers lobby against them. One could argue the opposite, that vitamins are becoming widespread because their manufacturers are lobbying for people to accept them. There's always a silly conspiracy theory for any subject. Dr. Atkins chose an absurd one and he stuck to it throughout his book. I suggest the reader takes his non-medical opinions (politics, RDA, etc) with a grain of salt. But not too much salt, because sodium is bad for you :-) Otherwise, the book is excellent.

Summary: This book is awesome
Review: This book is great. It has so much information on ways to heal, protect and sustain your body naturally. You don't have to be on his diet plan for them to work either. A must have for anyone who wants the real scoop on homeopathic healing.

Summary: Everyone should read this book!
Review: This information on nutrition, like in all of Dr. Atkins' books, is well researched and well written. It's easy to understand and enables the reader to identify a condition then follow the instructions to alleviate it. We all know now that Atkins has been on the right track all along, but I had no idea how much of a role nutrition played until I took advantage of the research and resolved a long standing debilitating physical problem of my own. Thank you Dr. Atkins!
