Summary: Good practical advice
Review: Dr Packer's book is great as it also gives a comprehensive list of various foodstuffs that contain antioxidants. Therefore one does not have to buy the drugs (either separately or thru Dr Packer's web store) to benefit from antioxidant rich diet. I've used his antioxidant cocktail for over two years now, I am also choosing more carefully what I eat. As a result I feel great: gone are flus and other maladies. Dr Packer explains the effect of each antioxidant and their interplay in our body very well, even for a non-native English speaker like me.

Summary: the antioxidant miracle
Review: everything concerning the mecanisms of the antioxidants that are shown in this book is just superb and correct, and also the principle that explaning the team work of the antioxidants together.i dont agree at all with the author about the doses that he recommad in the book, because my expirience as an orthomolecularist convinced me that higher doses of the antioxidants should be taken, especialy in the cases of degenerative-oxidative-diseases,(such as:parkinson, altzheimer, huntington,multiple-sclerosis,etc...).it is very much worth to read this book, and is very informative in the sence of molecular-chemistry,and the molecular way of the antioxidants,but again, the doses should be much higher.

Summary: Very interesting if it's your first look at antioxidants
Review: I liked Packer's book. He managed to leave the subject interesting enough for people who are not experienced with antioxidants. I honestly had little clue about it and the book explains things quite well. Of course only an expert can point any serious mistakes in this book and maybe other flaws, but the public in general will like it. After reading the book, I thought it was amazing how people were not taking those antioxidant cocktails, it makes no sense, why not? Of course, after visiting a few health shops (locally and on the internet) my doubts were cleared. THE PRICE. Buying all supplements separately is outrageously expensive (At least for 24 year old unemployed student like me). Buying the whole pack from Lester will be cheaper, but we're still talking about some considerable $. Of course, the first move is to change your diet and start eating better, then choose the supplements better for you (in all a$pects). Packer does repeat himself a bit, but it makes sense repeating some info in different areas of the book. Overall I liked it...

Summary: Confirms the power of antioxidants
Review: If you want to read authoritative data right from a researcher who has performed experiments using antioxidants and who has now translated these findings into practical advice to maintain health, then this is the book for you. Lester Packer of UC Berkeley calls his research nothing short of miraculous. Think of it... cataracts reversed, strokes overcome, heart disease halted, cancer thwarted with nothing more than eating good foods and taking a recommended antioxidant cocktail. Dr. Packer suggests an array of 5 antioxidants works synergistically together, though oddly he never cites any studies using all of these antioxidants (that's probably going to be reported in future research). This book is easy to read. Dr. Packer leaves no doubt about the benefits of antioxidants. -- Bill Sardi, health journalist

Summary: Antioxidants - True "Miracles"
Review: Millions of people owe a debt of gratitude to Dr. Packer! It is in great part due to his efforts that the term "antioxidants" is a household word. Antioxidants are perhaps the most important "anti-aging" substances known to science. And "Antioxidant Miracles" is by far the best "antioxidant-specific" book ever written on the subject...period. Dr. Packer's theory that a combination of vitamins C & E, coenzyme Q10 and alpha lipoic acid provides the greatest protection against(and treatment of)heart disease, cancer, diabetes, neurological disorders, etc. is ground-breaking indeed. Any person that is serious about preventing / treating the most dreaded health problems of our times needs to read "Antioxidant Miracles" and then get started on a supplement regimen ultilizing the most effective forms of C, E, CoQ10 & ALA. This is especially important with vitamin E, as Dr. Packer makes it perfectly clear that the only way to get ALL of the benefits vitamin E has to offer is take a COMPLETE vitamin E formula that contains all eight tocopherols & tocotrienols, especially high in the gamma fractions. Being the owner of a health food store, and having the nickname
"Dr. Antioxidant", I cannot recommend "Antioxidant Miracles" too strongly.

Summary: New research and info on antioxidants' health benefits.
Review: Much of what we know about antioxidant nutrients we first learn from molecular biologists, who are on the front lines of research into the health benefits of these vitamins. For 40 years Dr. Packer has been a leading researcher fueling the antioxidant revolution. His latest book puts the power of antioxidants in easily understandable terms for the general public. Many people are now enthusiastically consuming vitamins C and E. Dr. Packer's research has discovered a network of five antioxidant nutrients--C and E along with coenzyme Q10, lipoic acid and glutathione--that do more than simply neutralize free radicals. The network also apparently has profound influences on genetic behavior--the foundation of our bodies and our health. The fascinating and quite reader-friendly book details compelling research into the myriad health benefits of the nutrients that comprise the antioxidant network. A must-read!
