Lots of information,
By
This review is from: The secrets to great health: From your nine liver dwarves (Paperback)
This book, though not new, has a lot of good wisdom in it. It goes into a good amount of detail as to how our various organs work together to digest foods and toxins. Essentially, it is a reminder of the fact that we are indeed what we eat. If you like detail, this is the book for you. If you want an overview kind of book, this may be too detailed for your liking. I really enjoyed the diagrams, though I could do without the cartoon-like dialogue in parts of the book. I am assuming that these cartoon figures are introduced to help people feel more comfortable reading the detailed information. However, I personally think it takes away from the book. In any case, it is a good read and I recommend it. The only other thing I would add is that I hope the book gets a face-lift. One's visual impression of a book is just as important as the information within.

The Secrets to Great Health,
By
This review is from: The secrets to great health: From your nine liver dwarves (Paperback)
Very interesting, Matsen is a teacher. He walks us through our digestive system in a humourous and immensely informative way. You come away feeling more responsible for your own health and you know without a doubt that you are part of that process. I can't put anything in my mouth anymore without knowing that what I eat has a direct link to how my liver will fonction. Can't get away from that!

Excellent book,

This review is from: The secrets to great health: From your nine liver dwarves (Paperback)
I would recommend reading Eating Alive first. I learned a great deal from John Matsen's first book and know that it made Secrets to Great Health much more valuable and readable to me. John gets a little silly but assigning personalities to the different organs and processes within us made it so easy to understand and remember why our bodies do as they do (or don't). I've radically changed how I eat, drastically reduced coffee (now it's a treat)and eliminated a lot of foods I used to think were so innocent. I've experienced better health, more energy and finally am able to put all the bits and pieces about nutrition and physiology I've learned over a lifetime into perspective. I've reread this book a few times (no small feat - it's huge)and found friends are appreciating it as much as I do. Well worth the investment of purchase and time. I highly recommend this author - by the way Mysterious Causes of Illness is the same book as Eating Alive just a different publisher. Mysterious Causes of Illness is a little less expensive!
