I am a big fan of alternative medicine, my wife cured Lymphoma with the gerson therapy and this book mirrors many of those ideals and practices. I am always looking for more information on the subject and this is an excellent book. I like to look at alternatives to the therapy we used as it was difficult but then again we cured cancer without drugs and she is much healthier for it and this offers some great ideas in that regard and improves my overall knowledge on the subject which helps us make decisions on how we eat and live. I recommend this highly. many of my friends also enjoy this book and I have given it as a gift on a couple of occasions.

The book is an excellent resource for anyone who would like to learn more about the benefits of including green smoothies into their diet. The book discusses important health issues such as cleansing and detoxification, weight loss, increased energy, anti-aging therapy, blood pressure, and diabetes, with smoothie recipes that are tailored for each of these. It was well written!

Essential Oils for Beginners is a great resource for anyone interested in being proactive with their personal health, providing plenty of alternatives to chemically based products. This book details the interesting history of plant extracts, and describes the positive influences on electromagnetic fields within the body, and the beneficial effects on blood circulation.

The purity and integrity of the essential oils is vastly important, and you will learn what to look for when purchasing them. Aside from knowing what oils to buy, you can also blend them as well. Filled with plenty of recipes for treating a range of ailments from oily skin to a focus-enhancing temple massage, you'll find loads of valuable information in this book.

Drs. Roizen & Oz have done so much for the health of people.  I first saw them on PBS years ago, and have been a fan ever since.  Their books are easy to read and understand and include humor to keep up the interest.  In addition to buying their books (as well as books on CD) for myself, I've also bought them as gifts for family members.  Sometimes just knowing what's going on with your body and your mind is a comfort.  It's good to have this resource available.

This is one of the best books I have read on the subject matter - our bodies and our health.

It covers illnesses, nutrition, alternative medicine, treatments of some common illnesses, and other topics. It also "grades" treatments as to whether they think they are good ideas - and why.

It is well written and very easy to understand. Lots of graphics to help along the way.

To be honest, it is fun to read if you like learning about your body, things which can go wrong, and treatments - modern and ancient.

I recommend this to anyone interested in better health.

Cancer: Step Outside the Box is a GREAT resource with a wealth of information and resources.  It's the best "one book" I've read.  It is very balanced over-viewing the frustrating and stifling 'Big 3', cancer biology basics, and many key (successful) alternative cancer treatments.  There are m-a-n-y references for further research and resources.  It also gives more specifics (how to, where to) than I've seen in most books on these topics.  And, it is woven with personal interest elements making it a great read on top of the invaluable information it contains.  I have read numerous books on alternative medicine and related topics, but this one is the most "bang for the buck" I've read - it would be a valuable recommendation (or gift) for a friend or loved one making serious health treatment decisions.

This proved to be an excellent guide, not just in the sense that the health information can improve your sex life, but how it can improve your life in all ways. Nutrition is linked to so much in our lives and the information here can lead to a better quality of living. (And better sex! Who doesnt want that?)

The author has a gift for making the information clear to understand and its quite enjoyable to read. I was very impressed and I plan on making full use of these tips as soon as possible.

I want to thank the author for giving me an ARC in exchange for a fair and honest review. It was an excellent read and Im thankful for the opportunity.

This book provides an excellent guide for those who want alternative care. It includes information on herbs, acupuncture, mind-body work, food supplements and other alternatives. Written by a physician and based on the ratings of a panel of health care providers it covers a wide range of expertise. I was especially interested in the section on back pain that I had recently experienced. True to my experience the traditional medical and physical therapy mentioned was not effective but the alternatives were. This book can save the consumer time from experimenting and lets them go straight to the best treatment available. Highly recommended.

This was a well-written book on health, and I am thoroughly enjoying it!  I hope more people are exposed to Dr. Broer's teachings on health and can apply what he knows to improve their own health.  This is an excellent book on health, filled with information that has not always been readily available to the public at large.

I've followed Dr. Axe's website for several years now and gone through some of his programs and they've all been some of the best information on natural health I've seen. This book is no different. As someone who has an autoimmune disease, and has read every book out there on the subject of health and healing, I was really impressed. There is information in this book that I have never heard anyone else talking about. But the thing that struck me right from the beginning is the sense of hope Dr Axe gives the reader that no matter where you are at in your health journey or how sick you are, it can change. You can get better. He starts right in telling us about how he helped his own mom overcome cancer through simple health changes that completely transformed her health.  Even if you are a "health book junkie" there is a lot of information in Eat Dirt that you will find surprising. I especially like the individualized plans for each gut type. And there are recipes! I can think of so many people I know who need to read this book!

This is one of the highest quality health improvement books Ive seen for the price. I was impressed with the level of research (60 sources) Margaret Wertheim did for such a concise book. The evidence helps the reader quickly learn the truth about sugar so they can change their habits and become leaner and healthier along the way. I believe if you read this Breaking the Sugar Habit book, change your habits related to eating sugar and craving sweets, reduce your intake and use the alternatives the author suggests, you will see improvements in your health, how you feel, and your appearance.

After you learn about the danger of sugar, it is almost fun to put some of the tips from the book into action and be strategic about it. A focus on the outcomes you can feel sooner rather than later helps. When Im breaking my own sugar habit, I notice results. I feel better, look leaner and less swollen, have more energy, less pain, and improved lab results sooner than I would think for important measures like cholesterol and triglycerides.

Ive tried the recipes and find them to be delicious. Cashew cream and the banana-based ice creams are incredible! Ive really enjoyed implementing the tips for natural sweeteners. Maple syrup has been an excellent new addition to my life. Consider getting this book as both a lifestyle and healthcare investment for yourself. It provides thoroughly researched, understandable, and sometimes eye-opening insight that is ready to be put into action. Try using this book in a bookclub or discuss it with friends to help each other break the sugar habit and reduce your dependency on sweets to help you look and feel better and take control of your own health so that you can go to your annual doctors visit with confidence.

Dr. Nico's book is a wonderful and valuable resource for Nutrition and Diet information. He helps you understand what foods are healthy and what foods are harmful and disease promoting. It's like an encyclopedia for your best health, excellent content!
