Barbara - See all my reviews

This review is from: Dr. Janson's New Vitamin Revolution: Seizing the Power of Nutritional Therapy for a Healthier and Longer Life (Paperback)

A perfect book with all information one may need re vitamins. The author writes about the changes in medicine, our risky environment, the damages from free radicals and even how stress affects our system. Stress depletes the body of nutrients, Vitamin C, B-complex, zinc and many others. He explains everything about all vitamins and their purpose, as well as other nutrients, the quantities we should take and how; all information about fat-soluble nutrients, water-soluble nutrients, mineral supplements like calcium, chromium, iron and so forth and their role. Dietary fats and essential fatty acids, amino acids and herbs all are listed in this wonderful beautifully written book. He explains when to take those supplements, their combintations, how to store them and how long to keep them.

Later on, he shows you how to set up your personal dietary supplement program, adjusted to your needs and way of living. It has a treatment program, if you suffer from a particular illness, which suppplements to use more.

It is a perfect book, simply written, not boring, stuffed with medical terms and once you 've finished it, you won't have any question regarding vitamins. Everything is explained here. I believe every house should get a copy of this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Bible for Supplements, December 19, 2002

This review is from: Dr. Janson's New Vitamin Revolution: Seizing the Power of Nutritional Therapy for a Healthier and Longer Life (Paperback)

This book is the best "bible" of supplements for the layman who wants to make informed choices.

I first heard Dr. Janson on the radio, on the Mark Scott Show in Detroit in the early 90s. Dr. Janson inspires and motivates audiences to change their lifestyles, and focuses on helping individuals to achieve their potential for vitality and longevity. He has a unique background with training in both conventional Western medicine and alternative therapies.

I am not as enamoured of vegetariansim as Dr. Janson is, because I don't think it's right for me, however, his book allows you to individualize a supplement program that will help you to reach YOUR goals.

Use this book to help yourself tailor a supplement program that is suitable to your unique needs. Along with the book, take a look at his website and monthly newsletter, and let him help to guide you toward a healthier lifestyle.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent introduction to vitamins, minerals, and health., August 18, 2002

This review is from: Dr. Janson's New Vitamin Revolution: Seizing the Power of Nutritional Therapy for a Healthier and Longer Life (Paperback)

Recently the American Medical Association has reversed its previous position and publicly acknowledged that Americans do not get enough vitamins and minerals from our food and need supplementation. Dr. Michael Janson has been well ahead of the AMA and has known and advocated this position for years. In this excellent book Dr. Janson discusses the role of vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients in human health and discusses each important nutrient in detail -- including valuable and detailed information about both food sources and nutrient supplements. If you read this book and follow Dr. Janson's advice you will almost certainly become healthier and may well also live longer and in good health. As a research chemist who is well acquainted with Dr. Janson and his understandable, common-sense approach to nutrition and health, I highly recommend this book.
