Everything they are claiming about how animals in our food chain are unhealthy to eat is true, but is old news. They are basically saying be vegan and you will be healthy. Don't worry about the junk food your eating. What nonsense. We have been consuming healthy animals forever in large quantities without high cancer rates and other diseases like diabetes type two. It is the unnatural treatment of animals in modern society that contributes to them being sick, which in tern makes us sick. But to ignore how processed food general is affecting our health is crazy. I know many unhealthy vegans, who are unhealthy because they eat junk like high fat and sugary treats. In the last 50 years the food chain has become to unhealthy to eat, but that does not mean that meat is bad. Eat real food like fruit, vegetables and if you want meat pay extra for pasture raised and humanely treated. A good message about how we treat animals and our planet, mixed with nonsense that these Dr's should know better. Read
" Diet For A  New America" from the 70's. Eat real food not packaged garbage and think for yourself.

I have been feeding this dog food to my two dogs, Truffle and Bamboo now for several years. When I got my dogs Bamboo, my vet in fact recommended that I feed them a diet rich in organic protein - meat, skip the grains (it makes them fat), and add a few veggies so they can benefit from the raw nutrition to build a strong immune system. I followed his advice, I put them on a an organic diet rich in protein i.e. meats and raw veggies. When Paw Naturaw came out, I was thrilled because they simplified the eating process by combining everything I was already doing into one product. Lets face it if our animals were out in nature this is exactly what our animals would be eating, not the processed, nutritionally deficient dog foods that are on the market today. Today's conventional dog foods are full of animal by products, parts, fillers, additives and preservatives, and who knows what, that are frankly nutritionally deficient. Our animals are showing up with ridiculously high cancer rates, and the same diseases humans have today and we wonder why. Today's animals are overfed and undernourished. To give our animals a fighting chance we need to feed them a diet that is nutritionally rich and the Paw Naturaw products fit the bill. With ingredients like Organic chicken, bison, beef, organic broccoli, organic carrot, organic celery, organic apple, organic squash, organic sweet potato, organic chicken gizzard, organic flax seed, and more we can build our pets immune systems to keep them healthy and have fewer vet bills!

Today my two dogs have super healthy shiny coats, and live a rich organic, healthy life! You can see photos at OrganicAuthority.com

This book overturned some of my long-held beliefs about healthy eating. I never sat down to a main meal or (salty) snack without a cold glass of milk.  I salted all my food with the thought that I was one of the exceptions to the rules about lowering salt to bring down blood pressure.  I took six pills plus supplements for hypertension, gastro intestinal upsets, high blood sugar etc. but still my symptoms persisted.  I was panicked that I was considered 'pre-diabetic' and dreaded the outcomes that my older siblings have experienced. I am convinced by the research noted and the reports of others who have tried this route to good health.  I am on week three of the six-week intensive plan and on my way to achieving those benefits for myself. This will not be one of those popular, fad diets except for those resolved to stay as healthy as possible for as long as they live.

My two dogs (12 lbs and 45 lbs) love Wellness Grain Free. They are healthy as can be at age 2 and 3, I do not worry with Wellness about any recalls for listeria like I do with other brands, my dogs have shiny fur, nails, eyes, etc. and are not overweight like you see more and more dogs being these days. They love this food!

This is a very informative book and I have changed my diet since reading it. I have been a vegan since 2005 but I was an unhealthy vegan because I wasn't eating a lot of fruits and vegetables or whole grains, potatoes and legumes. I was eating a lot of vegetable oils in fake dairy products, spaghetti and enchilada sauces, and refried beans. I was also eating a lot of sweets, cold cereals and pasta made with refined flour. This book has opened my eyes. I was also struggling with pre-diabetes and was trying to cut carbs to lower my insulin levels. That wasn't working. Once I cut out the oils in my diet and started eating the starches that he recommends, my insulin levels returned to normal. I am hoping that this diet will help me with my other medical issues as well. I have purchased all of the their books and visit the website frequently.

I bought this for my dog because lets be honest, we all want our dogs to be with us for as long as possible. I truly believe that with a good diet and moderate exercise, my best friend will be able to live a long and healthy life. He loves the taste and his fur seems healthier than normal. Overall, a great buy! I am going to try and look at fish oil capsules or other alternatives though (because the cost can seem a bit high).

Gundry claims and describes in convincing detail a revolutionary thesis how all autoimmune diseases are caused by an inflammatory response of the immune system to lectins penetrating the gut lining. He explains what lectins are in the book. They are plant defenses against being eaten. This topic is relevant to me because it describes a plausible universal cause for osteoarthritis, obesity, peripheral neuropathy, headaches, atherosclerosis, vascular occlusion, leg cramps, you name it. I am giving it a three month trial including Gundry's Vital Red probiotic supplements.

It is fascinating to discover a whole new perspective about our mutual dependence on our "gut buddies", as Gundry calls our microbiome. We take them for granted but we could not live without them. They digest food for us and block harmful substances from penetrating our gut walls. They also condition our moods by producing hormones causing hunger or pleasure. In this way they actually control our behavior. The kind of foods we like depends on them. Changing them by cultivating the good ones can actually change cravings for food from junk food and sweets to leafy greens, it's really true. This is an example of Buddhist corelessness (anatta) in action whereby we imagine we are in control of our desires but in reality they are conditioned not by our imagined core self but by our symbiotic microbiome. As the Buddha instructed Rahula, nothing in this world should be considered as being mine, me or myself. Our holobiome (aggregate of host genome plus gut microbiome plus skin microbiome) is host to billions if not trillions of cell organisms.

The "paradox" in the book title is that some of the plants which we depend on for life are slowly killing us by lectin poisoning which breaches the gut barrier causing a host of inflammatory reactions. These toxic foods include grains and fruit. Gundry explains why ten thousand years since the discovery of agriculture is not enough time for our genome to adapt to grains or fruits out of season. He explains why traditional white rice is better than whole brown rice, why white bread better than whole wheat (but still bad for you, all grains are bad), and why all fruits except avocados cause obesity, just the opposite of the conventional paradigm. He advocates a mostly vegan diet minus fruits and grains but with olive oil and other oils and very limited animal protein, if any. He even advocates some intermittent fasting just as the Buddha instructed his bhikkhus.

We eat healthy and want the same for our dogs.  After researching many brands and coming to the realization that there are a lot of bad and unsafe products out there, we decided to try Acana. Visit their website and you will see that their ingredients are fresh and unmatched by other brands. They also have no preservatives of any kind which is very important to me.  Our dogs love it and we buy a different flavor each time to give them a little variety. It is more expensive than your big box store brands, but you can't even begin to compare their product to others.  We haven't had any problems and I feel good about giving them this food.

I am a 66 year old nurse who has, make that HAD, type 2 diabetes which came from steroids I had to take when I had chemotherapy for cancer 6 years age. I also had moderate pain from neuropathies and osteoarthritis.
I did some research before going on this program and
found a lot information to back it up.
After following this diet breakthrough for only a few weeks I had to stop my amaryl. It is now 3 months later and my blood sugars are perfectly normal without medication and I'm amazed to find that the chronic pain I had for the last 5 or 6 years is gone.

Dr. Barnards book is easy to understand and his program is easy to follow. It has changed the way I eat forever.

This is a lovely book filled with recipes that aren't overly complicated to make. There's no pretension here. The photographs are beautiful, mouthwatering in fact and were all taken by the author.
What is evident here is that Mary's vegetarian lifestyle is as natural to her as breathing. She comes from one of the most famous families in the world. And yet she comes across as being very down to earth. Her late mother Linda and father Paul instilled their animal rights philosophy in their children, not by preaching it, but by living it. Their vegetarianism came about because of their beliefs regarding the ethical treatment of animals. It evolved into a healthy vegetarian lifestyle which the entire family still embraces to this day.
I've tried several of the recipes already. I've found them easy to follow and the food came out looking and tasting just as good as it appears in the book.

While "other diets propose unhealthy eating patterns and starvation, DASH's healthy food-centric plan is an excellent and realistic choice for many," writes John Chatham author of The DASH Diet Health Plan. Going on, he tells how this diet makes a positive impact on diseases like type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, heart disease, and other obesity-related problems that affect society today. DASH, Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension, is not just for those suffering from hypertension, aka high blood pressure, or other obesity problems, but for anybody wanting to live a more healthy, happy life with less probability of getting these life threatening diseases. The book also comes with examples on how to integrate the diet and exercise program into everyday life making it easy and stress free. With alternative, yummy, recipes and meals, that made my mouth water just reading about them, John Chatham brings to light a "new way of living" that leads to better health and still allows for dessert. 5 stars.

Clean Eating is not just a recipe book. Its a guide for how to enjoy natural, unprocessed (preferably organic) foods that are not only good for you but they taste good. Its about becoming more fit by understanding the essentials of how to make the best choices for your body to become healthier. The principle of this book is that food is the key to good health. It means, basically, eating complex carbs, lean proteins and good fats in correct ratios in six to ten servings daily. I found that my husband and I eat a majority of clean foods, but Ive discovered from the book that there are foods we must ditch, such as whole wheat, which can cause any number of health problems. We also need to cut way back on hard cheeses and rice, which we eat a lot of as vegetarians. The list of 50 Super Foods is handy to have and I also like the idea of eating 5-6 small meals a day to keep the metabolism from slowing down. The book also includes a 2-week eating plan for non-vegetarians with weekly shopping lists and a section on preparation techniques for retaining the food value as you cook. I especially enjoyed the descriptions of common herbs, what they're good for and when to use them, and the comprehensive guide to eating whole grains. I found some great vegetarian recipes to try such as Buckwheat Crepes with Strawberries, Baked Stuffed Tomatoes and Pumpkin Protein Bars. Theres also a handy glossary at the back of the book. Although the book was not written for vegetarians, the concept is very clear and can be followed and applied by anyone. Definitely a keeper and I will certainly refer to it again and again.

There are few health books that I feel this strongly about and this is one of them.

Here we are in the midst of tremendous health innovations and breakthroughs, and yet we continue to ignore and bombard our own systems with junk, chemicals, fat, sugar, refined carbs, antibiotics, tobacco etc.

We find it so hard to resist the processed food, the fatty and the dangerous meat products, the beautiful tan, the extra cocktail.

So much evidence is presented in this book.  Along with practically explaining the situation, technical and scientific data are presented in mind boggling statistics.

What are we waiting for...an open door to the big C, diabetes, heart disease etc.?

I began reading the Hallelujah Diet seriously after I became disillusioned with yet another diet I had tried to follow and had heard about someone I was familiar with following a vegetarian diet for himself and his family and having children in their teens who are very successful in athletics.  I had read part of it about 6 months earlier and had decided I was not interested in being a vegetarian.  To tell you the truth, I still don't want to be a total vegetarian or vegan, but I do want to improve my nutrition and lose weight.  So I decided to work toward adopting part or all of the Hallelujah diet until I lose weight and have found a comfortable place to be with it.  One thing that impressed me a lot was the number of people whose health has improved drastically (even from a variety of serious illnesses) who have followed it.  I bought the cookbook to have an easier time making the transition.  I have now also purchased and learned from one of the Getting Started Kits.  I am gradually working it into my life, trying to navigate the process while being married to a husband that wants meat for dinner every night.  What I get out of it the most is that we need to work a lot more nutrition into our diets and that one can get all the nutrition they need from plants if they eat a wide enough variety and especially of dark leafy greens as well as other vegetables and fruits.  I also have discovered that a meal can feel complete by including rice or potato with vegetables and fruit prepared in various ways.  There is convincing proof in the evidence that plants protect from diseases and help one heal from diseases.  I do not believe meats have the same ability.  I differ from the biblical view of the author in that I believe that although God originally gave humans all the food they needed from plants, I also believe the atmosphere of the earth is drastically different now than it was before the flood.  God offered humans meat and dairy as food after the flood, partly because the vegetation had been decimated in the flood, but also because the earth's atmosphere was different and I don't know if human nutrition needs had changed.  I have always assumed so by what I was taught.  Either way, God specified that only certain animals were to be eaten and that they needed to be properly prepared so the blood had been drained.  Jews today, who God originally gave the instructions to, say the animal must also be put down with such a sharp knife and in such a humane way that the animal doesn't feel it.  Logically this would not allow the meat to have affects of a traumatized animal.  I also know that for meat, poultry, and eggs to be healthy it needs to be pastured.  Fish needs to be wild caught from clean waters.  I know it is very difficult to meet these standards.  I have also read that goat's milk is more compatible with human digestion than cow's milk, that pasteurization damages the protein in it, and that homogenized milk is damaging to the arteries because its molecules have been cut and are sharp.  I am not certain about this but I believe it to be true.  I believe that clean raw milk is healthier, but it is very hard to get.  All together, these considerations make it hard to eat meat, poultry, fish, and dairy on a budget and in many areas of the US.  My intention is to explore whether I could enjoy a vegan diet and what mix of vegetarian diet I can best enjoy that is healthy for me and cost effective while reaching and maintaining my ideal weight and increasing my nutrition, health, and energy.  I am sure we have been eating a lot more meat and dairy foods than we really need.  This cookbook is one of the sources that is helping me with this transition.  I think other people will enjoy many of the foods also.

We have been feeding our dog Wellness for years. Very happy with this reduced fat formula, it's great for dogs who are overweight or over 7 years old. It smells quite delicious even to humans. It's definitely quality dog food because when our dog is on Wellness, his coat condition is so soft and much glossier-it's the same with human, if you eat a diet which lacks certain nutrients, your hairs will appear dull and unhealthy. Our little guy relies on us to give him quality food, since he has no control over what he will be fed. We are glad to have found Wellness and been able to give him the best.
