Summary: An Indispensable Encyclopedia of Nutrition
Review: .
I decided to take charge of my own life and become my own physician, after having been victimized for years by ruthless, incompetent professionals, most of whom did me more harm than good.
Although I have suffered what may very well be irreversible nerve damage as a result of "mood-stabilizers" WRONGLY prescribed to me by VA physicians and UCLA professor/physicians, I have since found that by applying the principles of sound nutrition one can prevent disease, both physical and mental, and HOPEFULLY restore one's health, both PHYSICAL and MENTAL.
What I have discovered is that prescribed mood-stabilizers, antidepressants and neurolpetic drugs do NOT stabilize the nervous system, they DESTROY the nervous system, the immune system and the cardiovascular system, a condition now recognized as Neuroleptic Induced Deficit Syndrome (NIDS). I now realize that those physicians who prescribed the drugs that nearly killed me were not even TRYING to help me. They were intentionally exploiting me and slowly killing me (and others, no doubt) for their own financial gain!
Author Ronzio's 30 year career as a biochemist and his professional writing skills have made Encyclopedia of Nutrition & Good Health an easy-to-read, comprehensive and indispensabe reference book (all 486 pages) for understanding the biochemistry of the human body and the principles of sound nutrition. Nutritious food and regular mental/physical exercise, not prescription drugs, is in my opinion the ONLY way to achieve sound mental and physical health.
I was able to obtain an excellent used copy of this book at a reasonable price from Amazon.com, even though the book is listed as "unavailable."

Summary: An indispensable tool for navigating the world of wellness.
Review: An indispensable tool for navigating the often confusing and conflicting world of nutrition, health and wellness. As a result of the Baby Boomers' struggle to defy aging and decrepitude, the wellness and longevity business has skyrocketed. Every day there is a new book published that addresses cures or disease prevention through food, supplements or attitude. Until Dr. Robert Ronzio's Encyclopedia of Nutrition and Good Health, there wasn't a comprehensive source of information to help a reader understand the terms and concepts used within these books. The Encyclopedia of Nutrition and Good Health is not another proselytization of a trendy idea. It is an easy to understand, concise guide to virtually any concept associated with nutrition and wellness. From Absorption to Zymogen, each explanation is heartily documented with current, scientific evidence to support the definition of position. In short, The Encyclopedia of Nutrition & Good Health is the Britanica of nutrition and wellness. Once armed with the knowledge gained from this valuable resource, it is possible to become a more discriminating reader; it enables one to make educated opinions and form accurate conclusions about other health related materials. For those forging their way through the jungle of such information, Dr. Ronzio's Encyclopedia should be considered the trail master of all health and wellness books.

Summary: The real gold of nutrition & good health, mined & refined!
Review: As a professional nutritional consultant, I write a two page monthly newsletter and am in awe of the consistent high quality of what Dr. Ronzio has given us. In my efforts to distill pertinent material for the busy doctor from books and scientific articles, I have many reference and text books to further consult from. I invariably look to Dr. Ronzio's Encyclopedia on Nutrition and Good Health for integrity, clarity and depth of understanding in objective and concise terminology. Like the other reviewers of this enclyclopedia on nutrition and good health, I find it a very valuable and useful source. I highly recommend that nutritional health professionals obtain two reference copies, one for their immediate use and the other as their waiting room copy. Its inviting manner with immediately usable information allows for a better educated patient with even a better chance of getting well. I also recommend Dr. Ronzio's Enclylopedia to anyone having difficulty explaining the nature of good nutrition to the rest of the family. He adeptly addresses and clarifies much of the bogus nutritional information in today's terms and settings in a very easy to find and read format. Thank you, Dr. Ronzio, for all your dedicated hard work to provide The Encyclopedia of Nutrition and Good Health.

Summary: The Complex Simplified.
Review: Dr. Ronzio's book makes the confusing world of nutrition understandable. In true encyclopedia style he alphabetically addresses a comprehensive list of terms related to nutrition. With this method of organization he makes the material readily accessible. A gifted teacher, the explainations are in laymens terms and provide many "Ah ha's". It can be read cover to cover for a bonified nutrition and wellness education or it can be used on an "as need" basis as a reference, either way it belongs on everyones bookcase.
