From a review: "If you are want the answers to the mysteries of health and healing, then read this book. This book is jammed pack with interesting, valuable, and important information on health, healing, and disease everyone should know, but few do. Even I, who have studied natural healing for 30 years, learned a ton in this book and enjoyed every word of it. This book summarizes the history of health care evolution in this country, informs us on the dangers of the treating disease, and provides a healthy alternative based on the Science of Natural Hygiene, which Baker summarizes better than I've ever seen done before. We need more authors who dare to speak the truth like Baker does. This book is a classic in its own time and deserves be on every family's book shelf. Get it while you can."

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent rationale for "allowing" the body to heal itself, June 16, 2000

By 

Michele Ann (Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Awakening Our Self-Healing Body-: A Solution to the Health Care Crisis (Paperback)

I ordered this book because I am very interested in how the body heals itself.

Through reading the book, I learned more about how to get out of way of the body and let it heal itself than I did about how the body actually heals itself. But if it's better health you are seeking, this is much more important than theories anyway.

As the first reviewer mentioned the book is packed full of information. Art Baker knows what he is writing about; you can see it has been an integral part of his life for a long time.

The section on the history of the Natural Hygiene movement is excellent, and is alone worth the price of the book.

If you are thinking about alternatives to Western medicine, frustrated with the standard approaches to health or wondering what you can do to promote your own well-being, this book is for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Scientific Raw Food Diet and Natural Hygiene Classic, January 11, 2009

This review is from: Awakening Our Self-Healing Body-: A Solution to the Health Care Crisis (Paperback)

I first read this book back when I was first going raw in late 1996 or early 1997. What a great resource for the science behind eating raw and the dangers of cooked foods.

I especially liked the sections on how to determine what our natural diet should be. This is the most comprehensive, science based resource I've ever found showing why humans are not meat eaters, nor omnivores but frugivores (primarily fruits with lots of vegetables and some nuts and seeds). And I've read many raw food books in my day but this was the most complete resource on that issue. After that I was convinced. I've been 100% raw vegetarian for over 7 years now.

I also loved how he ripped into the "Germ Theory" and about the supposed action of viruses which aren't even believed to be alive. Again it was quite detailed and meticulous.

This is a great book to give to your skeptical friends who want to know the science behind the rational of eating raw foods and why you are slowly poisoning and badly damaging your health with cooked food.

Some of the vocabulary is a bit tough in this book but you can look up a few words and you'll soon know what Art is talking about.

A must read book for any serious Raw Food Enthusiast and anyone into learning more about the incredible self-healing power of the body and the field of Natural Hygiene and its history.
