Book Description

January 3, 2006
At 19 years old, Jordan Rubin was a healthy 6'1" and 180 pounds. Shockingly, his weight fell to just 104 lbs. in a matter of months. His immune system was at an all-time low, as he suffered from Crohn's disease, food allergies, anemia, fibromyalgia, intestinal parasites, and a host of other conditions. After seeing over 70 health professionals, using both conventional and alternative medicines, Rubin was sent home in a wheelchair to die. But his story didn't end there. Through determination and a powerful faith in God, Rubin refused to give in to disease. Instead, he educated himself on natural health (eventually becoming a doctor of naturopathic medicine), and applied its principles. Now, ten years later, Rubin is fully recovered-and he desires to share the keys to his own good health. These keys aren't just for the disease-ridden; they are for anyone desiring to live an abundant life of health and wellness.

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Riddled by immune deficiencies, Rubin spent most of his sophomore year of college coping with, among other things, a combination of Crohn's disease, intestinal parasites and fibromyalgia. His six-foot frame dropped more than 100 pounds and he sought nutritional balance in a wide variety of places. His experience and ultimate recovery—brought about by a devout faith in God and natural medicine—led him to pursue doctorates in naturopathic medicine, nutrition and natural therapies. On the heels of his national bestseller The Maker's Diet, the thirty-year-old Rubin offers this seven-part plan for a healthy lifestyle, based predominately on dietary and hygienic precepts outlined in the Bible. After years of tinkering with his own dietary restrictions and needs, he advocates a 50-day regimen of whole foods, supplemental vitamin cocktails, fasting and functional exercise. (Responsibly, he reminds readers not to make any drastic changes in diet or lifestyle without first consulting a physician.) Nonbelievers may have a hard time balancing some of his assertions as a Bible literalist with his lack of medical degree, though contributing writer Remedios lends credibility as a general practitioner. However, no one can dispute Rubin's commitment to his faith and his lifestyle. (Jan. 10)

I received an advanced reader's copy and I have to say that this is one of the best health/diet books I have read for the following reasons:
-very practical; has daily routines built in
-very readable; good for the general audience
-well researched and documented; routed in the best and latest science with excellent author credentials
-wholistic; includes aspects of mind and soul as well as body and has more details on advanced hygiene that he alluded to in the Maker's Diet
-good stories and written in an interesting style

5.0 out of 5 stars Not just a rehash, January 11, 2006
By 
D. L. White (Santa Rosa, CA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Great Physician's Rx for Health and Wellness (Hardcover)
Unlike one of the other reviewers, I don't see Jordan Rubin's new book as simply a rehash of The Maker's Diet. This one builds and expands upon the principles laid out in The Maker's Diet, adding much personal insight and anecdotes along the way. In addition, of great interest are the comprehensive sections on emotional health and finding purpose in life -- topics that were touched upon in his last book, but are fleshed out here for those who want to comprehend the holistic approach to health more fully.

Lastly, Rubin makes a much stronger statement of faith in his new offering. We see more of who he really is and of the driving faith behind his work and vision.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not too good to be true...saved my life, April 27, 2006
This review is from: The Great Physician's Rx for Health and Wellness (Hardcover)
An excellent follow up. Despite what some readers say, I have tried his products before I read these books (by years), and they replaced 4 prescriptions I could not seem to get off (doctors said I never would). If I stop taking the products, I have found I must go back on the 4 prescriptions. Info I have found in this and The Maker's Diet have allowed me to eat FAR more foods than I could tolerate before. (I was forced for years to eat no meat, no dairy, and now I can CHOOSE what I eat.) My Mother and Sister, though having different health issues, have been equally helped and they were VERY skeptical (my father ran hospitals for a living, so we shared a traditional MD's view of the world). This system WORKS; I thought that Clenzology would be hooey anyway, but have found it indespensible. Each time I doubt him I have been proven wrong. He is obviously learning a lot and each book is an improvement in knowledge and helpfulness...I have had to research nutrition for my own health ails for years and nothing worked until I found Jordan Ruban's products. The few things I knew that he didn't seem to were in this newest book. Try for yourself to see.
