This outstanding book solved what numerous doctors, clinics, university hospitals could not do in 20 years. Using the clear, concise, easy guidelines in this book, my 20 year problems of obesity and chronic depression started to disappear in days, and 5 weeks later I was a totally new person. This book is just outstanding. It covers a wide variety of illness and ailments. Amino acids and essential fatty acids were critical to my results, yet they are inexpensive, safe to use, and have no adverse side effects. Three doctors who use this type of approach are James Kwako MD, Santa Barbara, CA., and Julian Whitaker MD, Newport Beach, CA., and Priscilla Slagle MD, Los Angeles; they have years of experience and success. The dramatic results I got from this book cannot be over stated. I use iHerb and Jo Mar Laboratories for obtaining the products needed. I am not affiliated or connected with any book, doctor, company listed here. I donated 8 copies of the book to 2 county library systems. The book saved my life.

Two years ago, I followed the Atkins' diet and easily lost 30 pounds, increased my energy level, lowered my LDL cholesterol and boosted my HDLs. I've had no trouble staying on the diet, and my health and stamina keep improving. Now Atkins gives us something even better: a well- documented, easy-to-use guide to using vitamins, minerals and other nutrients as the "treatment of choice" to overcome numerous conditions without the side-effects of drugs. Already, I followed his advice for zinc to completely clear up my acne in 5 days, and carnitine and chromium to further improve energy and mental outlook. This book and the "complementary medicine" movement may revolutionize health care in the United States!

This book surpasses all the books I own on herbs and vitamins. It also represents a life beyond being a prescription victim of the AMA. Again Dr. Atkins puts his tush on the line by giving people advice that is no where near conventional but puts the trust in the reader, his "patient" to try to heal themselves by natural and most often benign methods that bypass pharmaceutical side effects, toxic build up and cross interaction. He once again tries to change the staus quo with his off the beaten path knowledge and pays no mind to the flack he might receive in his efforts. This man believes in what he is doing and this book is a show-case of his whole medical stand point. I love it! A must for herbalist and vitamin-health gurus! A must for those with that want to take charge of their own health! Exhaustive and extensive about vitamins, the low-down on many products that the health industry over sells, and some you may never have heard of that could actually save your life! Dr. Atkins takes you on a very informed tour of the natural health product section, and teaches you a plethora of acquired knowlwdge.

Like Dr. Murry's Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine, Dr. Atkins book acts as a reference resource beyong compare. Many of us yearn to take our health into our own hands. With comprehensive books such as this, we can learn more and consequently demand more from our health care professionals. These are not "non-cures". Nature can provide an abundance of what our bodies need. When we are ill, we just need them in a more concentrated form. Dr Atkins solutions have validity. One site I have found where we can find the types of vita-nutrients that Atkins recommends is Papanature. His prices, service, selection are the best I have found. His documentation of these products correspond with the same information proposed by Atkins.

Because of my allergies and asthma, I was on Zyrtec, Advair, and had to carry an albuterol inhaler everywhere I went. I did the Atkin's diet some years ago and it worked extremely well for me. After seeing this book somewhere I decided to give it a try.

After reading this book I thought Dr. Atikin's had lost it this time. There are a lot of vitamins he wants you to take. Plus he started selling his own line of products so I thought "ahhh, that's why." I talked to my doctor about it and he said it wouldn't work, you would just be wasting money because your body will piss it all away (literally). I was spending $150 a month on medications (Zyrtec was not OTC at the time), the vitamins were about $20. His diet worked so well for me though so I thought I'd give it a try.

Well, I tried it, and it worked. I don't have as much trouble breathing, and I didn't need to take the medications anymore. Rarely I will have to use an albuterol inhaler. Placebo effect? Maybe, but I was saving $150 a month on medications even though I was "wasting" $20 on vitamins.

This information on nutrition, like in all of Dr. Atkins' books, is well researched and well written. It's easy to understand and enables the reader to identify a condition then follow the instructions to alleviate it.

We all know now that Atkins has been on the right track all along, but I had no idea how much of a role nutrition played until I took advantage of the research and resolved a long standing debilitating physical problem of my own.

Thank you Dr. Atkins!

I was skeptical that simply taking supplements would treat my SEVERE depression, but the prescription drugs had too many side effects and were becoming less and less effective with time. With my Dr's approval, I slowly weaned myself off prescription antidepressants as I jumped right into Dr. Atkin's recommendations for anxiety and depression. I'm still shocked to tell you - I am completely drug free, have been for several months and I am feeling great! I credited this man with giving me a part of my life back. Thank you, Dr. Atkins.

I last reviewed "Dr. Atkins' Vita-Nutrient Solution" on the morning of 9/11/01...the darkest day in our country's great history.

Since that day, I have come to have a greater appreciation for the work of the late Dr. Atkins. He dedicated his life to helping people...more than most people will ever realize.

"Vita-Nutrient Solution" is one of what I refer to as Dr. Atkins
"triology" (the other two are "Age-Defying Diet" and "New Diet Revolution") of "anti-aging breakthroughs"...books designed to help people live longer, healthier, happier and more productive lives. What a great "legacy" he left for mankind indeed. His work will live on for many generations to come.

I've been involved in the nutritional supplement industry for 11 years now. As an avid educator of the public about the positive benefits of proper nutritional supplementation, I can honestly say "Vita-Nutrient Solution" offers the most scientific-based information - and most important of all - real world proof (60,000 patients in 30 years treated at his Center for Complimentary Medicine) that nutritional supplements DO INDEED WORK!

Dr. Atkins trained under & studied the works of some of the world's most respected nutritional experts
(Carlton Fredericks, Weston A. Price, Roger Williams, Adelle Davis). Dr. Atkins combined the knowledge & wisdom of these experts, along with the advances made in modern science, to "master" nutritional therapies for a wide range of health conditions, most notably for diseases of the cardiovascular system and insulin-related disorders.

Unlike most other books, which are based more on speculation / theory / hype, and are not well researched, Dr. Atkins wrote from a very unique perspective - he used these supplements on tens of thousands of people in his own medical practice...with people living under "real world" conditions - not in a "controlled environment" (laboratory) !

"Vita-Nutrient Solution" is loaded with reliable information on all of the key vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, amino acids, essential fatty acids needed by the human body to prevent & reverse many of "20th century diet-induced" ailments that plague our country today...due mostly to the over-consumption of refined sugar, white flour and man-made fats (hydrogenated oils, trans fats), as well as our heavy reliance on pharmaceutical drugs that only cover-up symptoms, do not address the CAUSE of the "disease state", and DEPLETE your body of the very nutrients needed to heal itself!

By learning which nutrients your body MUST HAVE, what happens when you have sub-optimal levels of these nutrients, and how your body can heal itself when it is has what it needs, you can experience optimal health...despite what the TRILLION DOLLAR A YEAR American pharmaceutical "cartel" would have you beleive!

"Vita-Nutrient Solution" contains essential information about supplements that you will not find in other books. For example.....Do you know that there are EIGHT different natural forms of vitamin E?

Do you know what the most effective form of vitamin B12 is?

Do you know that a special form of a B complex vitamin significantly lowers cholesterol & triglycerides - with absolutely no side-effects what so ever!

This is only a sample of some of the "secrets" you'll discover in "Vita-Nutrient Solution".

You'll discover supplements that 99% of the public has never heard about that can perform "miracles" for heart disease, diabetes, cancer, macular degeneration, Alzheimer's & many other "incurable" diseases of our times.

If you take vitamins, are considering taking them for the first time, or if you want to address specific health problems without having to rely on over-priced, highly toxic pharmaceutical drugs, then you must read this book!

I am a professional who has been reading and studying the field of supplements. This book is the best that I have come across. Not only is it the most complete, but the supplements in it were used in Dr. Atkin's clinical practice. This is were the rubber hits the road, and the concrete real life information that gives this book credibility. If I were to buy only one book on this subject, it would be this one, even over the encycolpedia type books.

This book is great. It has so much information on ways to heal, protect and sustain your body naturally. You don't have to be on his diet plan for them to work either. A must have for anyone who wants the real scoop on homeopathic healing.
