Book Description

October 28, 2006
Many people who suffer from indigestion change their diets, check out the possibility of food allergies, or turn to over-the-counter remedies, but this guide suggests that what is eaten is less likely to cause discomfort than how it is eaten. Describing unconscious eating habits that aggravate visceral-somatic symptoms, this organ-by-organ overview of the entire digestive tract praises its remarkable efficiency and describes sensations that are clues to stress, overeating, or eating too fast. The role of sight and smell in eating is also described, and the message throughout is that conscious awareness when eating and savoring food can help to prevent stomach and intestinal pain.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is a must for all natural health practitioners!, September 21, 2006
By 
Mary Lee (Charleston SC) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Digestive Awareness Diet: You Are HOW You Eat (Paperback)
Like an old fashioned country doctor, Dr. Pollard offers a simple yet
elegant solution to aches and pains we may have been willing to dismiss.

We have forgotten how to listen to our bodies, which tell us everything
we would ever need to know to be healthy. Dr. Pollard shows us how to do
that in order address a multitude of health problems.

The Digestive Awareness Diet explains in layman's terms the importance
of each organ's function and, like cogs in a wheel, how the organs work
together to help us achieve and maintain optimal health. Regardless of
your lifestyle, dietary preferences or medical condition, you will learn
how simple changes can yield healthful benefits.

I liked it so much that I ordered 20 copies to have in my clinic for clients.

Take this book to your chiropractor or healthcare professional!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Digestive Awareness Diet, July 14, 2006
This review is from: The Digestive Awareness Diet: You Are HOW You Eat (Paperback)
Regardless of the theme it usually takes me at least 50 pages to get involved in a book. Not so with "Digestive Awareness". I felt like I was hearing the first sensible explanation for problems that afflict all of us. Interesting, easy to follow and filled with great information.

5.0 out of 5 stars You really can eat WHATEVER you want, November 11, 2008
This review is from: The Digestive Awareness Diet: You Are HOW You Eat (Paperback)
I stopped reading "diet" books/articles years ago. Also, I would switch radio/television stations whenever the latest diet guru or health expert came on with his/her latest regime or recommendation. I was so bombarded with information from doctors, health experts and the government about what to eat, what not to eat, what was healthy or not healthy that I just gave up. There was just TOO MUCH INFORMATION!

Dr. John Pollard's book "The Digestive Awareness Diet: You Are HOW You Eat" has changed a lifetime of negative thoughts, feelings and beliefs about food and diet for me. His book is clear and concise and full of information that I understand and can really use everyday. My whole perspective about food and eating has changed.

I wish the information presented in "The Digestive Awareness Diet" had been available to me before this. My mother died of colon cancer when I was in my 20's....the information in this book could have helped her immensely.

I am recommending this book to everyone I know.
