This review is from: Chitin-Chitosan: The Choice Food Supplement for over 10,000 Physicians in Japan (Paperback)

I read health and nutrition books for pleasure and this was one I could barely get through. It was translated and perhaps thats why it is so hard to follow. The book skips around and gives little solid information. Also,if you are looking for information on how to use chitosan as an aid to weight loss, you will NOT find any information here. The info. on weight loss is limited to a paragraph and sketchy at best. Maybe chitin-chitosan is a miracle but you will be hard pressed to understand why in this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Chitin-chitosan, June 23, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Chitin-Chitosan: The Choice Food Supplement for over 10,000 Physicians in Japan (Paperback)

This book details the effectiveness of chitin-chitosan in assisting the human body's natural healing power to combat diseases and disorders that modern Western and Oriental medicinal have not been able to surpass and without the side effects. The chapters are broken down by pathologies and begins with an overview of the disease itself. Shortly thereafter, it takes you through the experiences of those who have taken chitin-chitosan as a supplement for their illness and how their health had improved within a short period of time. Then starts another chapter on another disease following the same outline. For those who are unfamiliar with medical terminologies, this book may be hard to follow at times. However, when they can, they try to explain them in laymen's understanding. Overall, I found the experiences and information in this book to be quite impressive. It is stressed that chitin-chitosan is fairly new in the medical field and is still under further research.

This review is from: Chitin-Chitosan: The Choice Food Supplement for over 10,000 Physicians in Japan (Paperback)

This product is thoroughly researched and has many useful medical uses including hypertension, eye conditions, etc. A strong case is presented to prove that salt-provoked hypertension is not caused by sodium but by chlorine.
