Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)After three years of doctor visits, with no relief, for severe leg & foot cramps, this book solved my problem. Caffeine can decrease the circulation to muscles. Simple, yes. After suffering from near debilitating cramping for years, giving up caffine was a minor inconvience, but one that I might never have known about without Foods That Harm, Foods That Heal. This book has page after page of simple, common sense cures, aids, and ideas that can save you many hours of discomfort, add years of healthy, productive living to your life, and bring the zing back to your step. It covers a broad spectrum of topics, from Acne to Zwieback, from "Pregnancy" to "Aging and Diet", in a format that makes finding your topic easy. Each item is discussed in easy to understand language. Each food is discussed, and has a list of "Benefits" and "Drawbacks" along with vitamin and mineral content. All in all, it is an excellent investment in your future health and well being.

The No-Grain Diet: Conquer Carbohydrate Addiction and Stay Slim for the Rest of Your Life Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)As a regular visitor to Dr. Mercola's website for some time, I eagerly awaited the arrival of his book. While Dr. Mercola's big-picture objective -- weaning the average American off of poisonous food, poisoning medical doctors, and a poisoned environment -- is noble, his small-picture book renders an easy, common-sense diet too complex to follow.
In Mercola's defense, neither the writer, Levy, nor Dutton editors did much to clarify and communicate his vision. The writing is stilted and humorless, the organization an afterthought. Readers will balk at the confusion between Phases and Food Plans. Inconsistencies abound: Foods allowed on one page are nowhere to be found on another. For example, oranges are allowed on the 8-meal Booster Start-up plan on page 68; yet, inexplicably, the same list (lots of duplication in this book) eliminates oranges on page 106. Without explanation, the plan itself is reduced to six meals on page 136.
With better editing and organization, and fewer contradictory menus, the entire tome could have been reduced to half its size, with twice the clarity. It's a prime example of how too much information -- right down to how to cut one's bacon! -- can spoil a vital health education.
If you can find a way to get past the book's choking design flaws, please do: The good doctor's prescription for real health is both impassioned and well-documented, eclipsing all other "diets" out there, past or present.

Holler for Your Health: Be the Key to a Healthy Family Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The author has done a very good job at explaining the strong links between diet and our environment and various ailments including stress and diabetes that makes for very interesting reading. I always felt the genetic link to obesity to be hogwash, but the author did a good job at convincing me the biological reason for the linkage. After reading this book I was sufficiently convinced to buy hormone free milk for my children and certain organic produce for the family, utilize a water filter for the home, and cease applying traditional lawn fertilizers on my lawn in favor of more natural, organic alternatives.

As we have immersed ourselves in products laden with hidden chemicals, society has become plagued with a host of chronic illnesses.In the span of one industrial century the incidence of cancer has soared from 1 in 8000 to nearly 1 in 2. In fact, nearly half of all Americans now suffer from at least one chronic illness. The sharp rise in childhood illnesses such as asthma, autism, ADD, and childhood cancers are especially bothersome.The problem: Toxic chemicals are bad for health and health is getting bad. For every pound of industrial toxin released into our air and water an average of 42 pounds of the same chemicals are used in products intended for use in or around the home. And so our greatest toxic threat comes from our own purchasing decisions.
