3.0 out of 5 stars Good information, although read with grain of salt..., April 12 2004

This review is from: Restoring Your Digestive Health (Paperback)

This book is designed to generally educate and assist those with an exiting GI ailment of some sort. However there is some wonderful information on suppliments/daily diet for healthy people as well.

I do not accept the excuse that these items are too difficult to find, therefore it is not useful information. The Standard American Diet (SAD) is absolutely terrible and it is not surprising the our supermarkets carry mostly nutrient-poor foods. Obviously you are not going to find some of these healthful suppliments next to the Twinkies, so this puts the owness on the consumer to look around and hunt down these items for the sake of your own good health. Prices are not high if you are smart about your purchases and frankly no cost is too high for good health. Do your homework and reap the benefits. You'll be surprised how many suppliers you will find in your area, no matter how small the city.

There is a bit of subjective data in this book. For example a description of the Vegetarian diet as consisting of only starches and carbs and completely lacking in B12 and other "meat only" vitamins is just not true and has been shown as such in many studies as recent as January 2004. That being said, there is enough good data here to really educate someone not familiar with nutrition. If you take each section with a grain of salt, and accept that some suppliments or dietary changes may not work for you, I think you can really gain a lot from this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars very good book, Mar 8 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Restoring Your Digestive Health (Paperback)

I had visited my parents during a snow storm and had to eat what they ate, so it was a much simpler diet than the usual coca cola and garbage I usually ate. Immediately my irritable bowel syndrome (I think thats what I had) seemed to get better. Later I got this book, and I changed my diet more, eating the catagories of food recommended in the book. He doesn't say you absolutely need organic food. I took the digestive enzymes recommended, and I still do. A fine book.

3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting content, impractical menu, Nov 21 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Restoring Your Digestive Health (Paperback)

The contents of this book were very informative and provided a better understanding on how and why some people have digestive disorders. Trying to break down all of the recommendations on food items and supplements is confusing. Trying to purchase some of these items in a standard grocery store when everything must be cultured, fermented, grain fed..etc... is not practical

2.0 out of 5 stars a waste of money
This seemed like a great book in the store, but save your money. It's really just a marketing tool to self-diagnose and buy LOTS of supplements and eat in ways that are... Read more
