This review is from: Patient Heal Thyself: A Remarkable Health Program Combining Ancient Wisdom with Groundbreaking Clinical Research (Paperback)

To start off, I think the book has an incredible amount of information that, if everyone followed it to the tee, would bring down the medical establishment as we know it, and return doctors back to what they were meant to do -- find the cause and heal it, instead of writing a script to alleviate the symptoms. That being said, while a lot of common sense and a call for the return to more sensible eating habits that our ancestors followed, I couldn't help feel I was reading a brochure of some kind. All the testimonials and calls for his Garden of Life products had me skipping through a lot of the commercial and getting back to the information I wanted to read.

I don't quite buy into the Biblical writings, either. It's obvious he believes his Jewish upbringing, but I'm not convinced that pork is a "dirty" meat. Rather, I believe the principles of the Jewish faith, like those of other religions, forbids certain foods as a way of controlling it's congregations. Just as vegetarianism, cows are sacred, do not eat meat on Friday, and all the other religious dogma exist to riddle the body with guilt, those who have proclaimed these "truths", even back in Biblical times, were living "High off the hog". Recent archaelogical discoveries prove that priests, rabbis and other religious leaders lived palatially, even avoiding contact with the masses of their flocks, all the while eating what they forbade those that they preached to, from eating.

The information is worth it, but you can get the book for free right now via Vitamin Shoppe. Like another reviewer, I cannot give out a 5th star for the simple fact of the advertising in this book.

1.0 out of 5 stars Rubin is a liar!, Mar 16 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Patient Heal Thyself: A Remarkable Health Program Combining Ancient Wisdom with Groundbreaking Clinical Research (Paperback)

I am a born again Christain who has known Mr. Rubin since I was ten. We attended Lee's Tae Kwon Do in North Palm Beach,Florida, (where Jordan earned a black belt).We went to high school together at Palm Beach Gardens High. I saw him basically every day and at giant "keg parties" on week-ends, and I can tell you that I have never known Jordan to be sick with any illness, nor has any of our mutual friends. If anything he was healthier that 98% of the student body, who were often out of school with influenza, bronchitits, etc.

The assertion that Jordan suffered from any digestive disorder is laughable!I recall Jordan eating and drinking whatever he pleased - pizza, beer, coffee, chocolate ice cream.Not one of our mutual friends has any recollection of Jordan being ill at any time from about 1986-1996.

1.0 out of 5 stars same concerns as others, Feb 9 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Patient Heal Thyself: A Remarkable Health Program Combining Ancient Wisdom with Groundbreaking Clinical Research (Paperback)

I have read the book twice, and now own four copies of it as a result of four recent orders I've placed with Vitaminshoppe.com.

I, too, was bothered by the constant hawking of his products, and couldn't quite reconcile some of the claims/timelines depicted in the book. Also, he takes credit for saving his grandmother's life! I just don't know how he could have done all of the necessary research to develop these products so rapidly and then gotten them into mass production, all the while obtaining numerous degrees and certifications, plus continuing to battle his disease. I did check and the school where he got his NMD is in Puerto Rico and is NOT accredited.

I have recently bought a number of his products and I'm hoping they're as life-changing as he claims. I want to believe. But the rational side of me is thinking that at the very least, some of his claims are hyperbolic.

I, too, am bothered by those who call themselves Dr. Whatever, in an attempt to deliberately make people think they're an MD. Frankly I put Dr. Phil in this category. He talks and words things like he's an MD, and he's actually a PhD.
