Summary: I found the information in this book too biased to believe
Review: Although the author provides an overabundance of footnotes to references, his viewpoint toward nutrition in this book is totally against anything non-vegan. He also suggests that eastern meditation and yoga practices that make use of brain waves slower than beta have weak frontal lobe activity. What he fails to understand here, among other things, is that this type of meditation, to be useful, requires the continued presence of beta as well as alpha and below.
This book is just too biased to be believable, particularly after having read many other books/articles giving opposing viewpoints.

Summary: Destined to become a classic, the leader in health education
Review: I received this book as a gift from a lady I did not know, just because I invited her daughter home from my daughters work when she could not go home (to far away). What a great gift! Now I want to order it as a gift for a very helpful young man from my daughters university. He is interested in the medical field and I know this book will be a great help to him. Thanks for making it available.

Summary: I found the information in this book too biased to believe
Review: My Doctors had me read this fine book, with much wonderful advice, counsel, encouragement and a plethora of medical data to back it up. It is excellent and I am getting my OWN copy as soon as my SSA disbursement gets here. It has helped me to control the previously unbearable pain of my medical challenges and I feel hopeful for the first time. This book told me that my natural instincts are right but also showed me WHY.However, serious as tobacco addiction is (no arguments here) it brings out that about 30% of our population is involved in this deleterious habit. Yet, a far more insidious and dangerous addiction that has taken up the vast majority of our population and is affecting all of us in increasingly life-threatening ways is the fragrance addiction explosion. It's in everything and is literally killing us off (read the labels and look it up. For example tuolene is a major ingredient and is a hazardous material). Very little effort is required to find out why this is true, especially considering how unregulated this part of our industry is. I have developed MCSD and it is a whole new kind of hell since everywhere I go I never know if I'm going to be overwhelmed by the abuse of fragrance (hair shampoo, spray, gel, conditioner, lotions, colognes, fabric softeners, fabrize, etc. ad naseaum). This is a major health risk and it is virtually as ignored as cigs were in the 40's/50's due to big $$ and industry as always being more important to people than people. Also, YEAST INFECTIONS are rampant in our society and they co-exist with many deaths from other blamed illnesses. Dr. Crook's works would benefit Dr. Nedly greatly and I would like to see him incorporate those two major omissions in his revised edition whenever he prints it up or in a subsequent book since they are pivotal to our health and the quality of our lives.

Summary: Sensible, Practical Advice for the Common Man!
Review: This book is packed with common sense guidelines and bottom line results of solid scientific studies about what causes disease and how to take charge of your own health without buying a specialist's products. Every chapter is packed with advice on how you can implement lifestyle changes to improve your own health in your own home. I haven't found a more sensible compilation of medical studies or practical advise on how to prevent chronic and deadly diseases, or how to reverse many of the diseases the Western world is suffering from, like heart disease, obesity, high blood pressure, and osteoporosis. This book contains lots of graphics to help us understand what medical researchers are saying without requiring a medical degree to comprehend them. Each chapter is supplemented with a bibliography so you can investigate their findings yourself if you wish. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is sick and tired of being sick and tired!

Summary: Highly recommended by VeganSuperStore.Com
Review: This is absolutely one of the best books on health I've ever read. It is clear, concise, and easy to follow. There are many color charts and illustrations inside, which make the book engaging and easy to understand. Though it may seem pricey, it's the size of a textbook and packed with useful information. I do wish they had included an index with the book, but evidently they want you to buy the CD-ROM version for that. In spite of this drawback, I found the book very helpful and would recommend it to anyone serious about their health.

Summary: CAUTION: Don't read this book unless...
Review: What first attracted me to the book was its very user friendly and colorful layout. But when I started reading it I just could not put it down. It has changed my life. It is full of such common sense health information. He uses close to 3,000 footnotes so Dr. Nedley really did his homework.
CAUTION: Don't read this book unless you want to feel better, be healthier and just enjoy life much more. This is what it has done for me.
