Rating: Summary: Gary shows again why he is the best in his field Review: Another excellent book from Dr. Gary Null, the world's leading authority on health and nutrition.

This book is easy to read, very informative, and provides a valuable plan of action for achieving optimal health. Gary proves again why he is the leading American authority on health, nutrition, and logevity. A great book!
Rating: Summary: Gary shows again why he is the best in his field Review: Finally, Gary Null has done it. He has written a book that is both informative, outlined nicely, and is easy to follow. In the past, I've found problems with most of his books, but this one is very good.I enjoy the 7 Steps to Perfect Health, but the one Step about which foods to consume is a little shaky. He recommends grains of all types, and gives a little background on each grain, and how to cook it. This is fine, but he does not cover which people should avoid which foods, such as people with cancer, candidiasis, etc. Should a person with candida consume a pleothra of grains and fruits as he suggests? He covers how to lose weight, but what about the chronically ill who have trouble keeping on weight, and who are underweight? These are the people that are normally buying 'how to' health books, the chronically ill. Other than that, the book is general, but good. He doesn't go into great detail about any of the 7 steps, just enough general information to wet your palate, and give you the basic idea of what needs to be accomplished. This book would be perfect for someone who is just starting out on the health journey. A seasoned veteran might not learn anything new from The 7 Steps, but it's still a good read.

Rating: Summary: Bonehead advice from an armchair nutritionist Review: I like Gary Null, really. But this book is a WASTE of your money! Filled with inaccurate information (like "wine contains pro-antistatins" Does he mean proanthocyanidins? Also, "Take liquid acidophilus to increase your intake of fiber to 50 grams per day." Acidophilus contains NO fiber! Did anyone edit this book before publishing??) and misspellings ("Benign prosthetic hypoplasia" instead of the correct benign prostatic hyperplasia; "propellus", which should be propolis, and many, oh so VERY many more), this book does more harm than good. Particularly as, since his name carries so much weight, people will go with his recommendations (like taking 100 mg of echinacea for immune support, or red clover for curcuminoids) over those of someone who may be less well known, but more intelligent. Dont buy this book. If you do buy it, dont read it. Dont even give it away to someone else. Just toss it in the recycle bin, where it belongs.
