This is the "REAL" Natural Cures book,
By Max - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Most Effective Natural Cures on Earth: The Surprising Unbiased Truth about What Treatments Work and Why (Paperback)
I've looked at a lot of these books including the "famous" best seller which is a complete con job. This book, however, is the real deal. I've read Dr. Bowden before and he doesn't disappoint. The book is witty, easy to read, fascinating, not too technical, but at the same time loaded with real scientific references explaining exactly what works, why, how and what to expect. It's not the kind of junky book that claims to cure cancer with a pill. Rather, it takes a reasoned approach to how to use natural medicine and everyday remedies to improve health, symptoms, and in some cases even get rid of the problem. It doesn't over promise but it definitely over-delivers. I was blown away by the endorsements and raves by other medical and nutritional professionals in "integrative" medicine- everyone from Dr. Oz (the guy on Oprah) to Christiane Northrup to even Mark Victor Hansen! After reading this book I know why they said what they said. By the way- highly recommended- if you read nothing else, at least read his brilliant INTRO which is a great essay on the state of American medicine, why your doctor doesn't know about this stuff, and how to take care of your health

Very useful information,
By Angie Lynn - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Most Effective Natural Cures on Earth: The Surprising Unbiased Truth about What Treatments Work and Why (Paperback)
This is a wonderful book that presents a vast amount of useful information in an accessible way. The author supports the material he presents in the book by citing credible sources. He also doesn't shy away from addressing negative as well as positive elements about the "cures" he presents and he gives the reader sources for additional reading on a myriad of topics. The information in the book is very practical and can easily be incorporated into one's day to day life.

The Genius Of Jonny Bowden Is In Making The Complex Digestible,
By Livin' La Vida Low-Carb Man "Jimmy Moore" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Most Effective Natural Cures on Earth: The Surprising Unbiased Truth about What Treatments Work and Why (Paperback)
Who doesn't have a "natural cures" book out these days? With diet and health books coming out of our ears these days, it seems everybody and their momma has their own take on what it takes to get and stay healthy in modern society. Sadly, many of these "experts" are nothing more than fly-by-night shysters who are simply in it to bilk you out of your hard-earned dollars by making you buy some obscure products that can (SURPRISE SURPRISE!) only be purchased from the author's web site. AVOID THESE "natural cures" books!That's what makes Dr. Jonny Bowden's THE MOST EFFECTIVE NATURAL CURES ON EARTH so special. He presents well-researched and commonly-found cures to many of life's ailments that completely run the gamut. From obesity to diabetes to joint pain and everything in between, Dr. Bowden has got you covered. You may be surprised to learn a particular dietary approach that is often erroneously labeled as a "fad" by much of the medical community and the media is one of the primary "cures" that is shared for a cross-section of ailments. Unlike most books of this genre, Dr. Bowden makes this stuff sound cool, too. His engaging writing style is what fans of his have been loving since he wrote LIVING THE LOW-CARB LIFE and THE 150 HEALTHIEST FOODS ON EARTH. You get more of the same with all the very latest studies to back up every claim made in this book. This is DEFINITELY one book you won't want to be without if you care about your health. |
