4.0 out of 5 stars USEFUL BUT INCOMPLETE, February 18, 2001

This review is from: Amino Revolution (Paperback)

A very good manual on how to use amino acid supplements and their co-factors for achieving wellness and combating aging. All the important areas are covered, like dosage, combinations, the exact vitamins and minerals to take at the same time, as well as foods that contain aminos. The description of the metabolic pathways and how amino acids work are extremely interesting. Areas where amino acids can help are discussed under stress, anxiety, depression, immunity, cancer, heart disease, allergies, digestion, herpes, alcohol, smoking and looking and feeling young. Perhaps the book is a bit outdated, since there is no mention of the wonderful amino NAC (N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine) that protects the lungs and mucous membranes and is especially recommended for smokers. The lack of general index and an index to conditions treatable by aminos is a bit of a drawback as this book could be a handy reference work. But four stars overall for an interesting and illuminating text providing much needed information to those who want to take responsibility for their own health.

The Amino Revolution book will dramatically improve your health and well being if studied carefully and followed. Amino acid therapy is for everyone, not just athletes and body builders. Amino acids are food, not drugs, that cross the intestinal boundary quickly when taken as "free-form predigested" supplements. You can finally find the lasting cure for obesity, anorexia, bulimia, alcoholism, smoking, immune system deficiencies, yeast overgrowth, heart disease, cancer, depression, anxiety, craving, addictions and mood swings. You can energize your sex life and become healthy and happy. Another good book on this topic is The Diet Cure by Julia Ross, M.A. Amino acid therapy is great when used in combination with the Atkins' diet. Read The Atkins' New Diet Revolution and Protein Power for diet programs that work. The Amino Revolution supports the low-carbohydrate diet for optimum health and happiness.

5.0 out of 5 stars Illustrates the metabolic pathway and how aminos work., July 26, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Amino Revolution (Paperback)

I purchased this book a number of years ago and keep returning to it as a referance and for advice. It has illustrated the combinations of certain aminos for treatment of particular ailments. The introduction of each amino acid and subsequent discussion on combinations shows action of metabolic imbalances and how combinations will help heal every illness. He also suggests specific vitamins and minerals with each amino acid combination to assist the complete metabolism of each formula.
