Rubin is NOT refering to himself in the title of his book, nor would he ever use this title for himself. Most people with even a minimal education in literature know that the reference is to Jesus Christ, who has been called The Great Physician throughout written history because of His healing miracles recorded in the Scriptures.

Rubin bases his health guidelines on Biblical information, and understands the importance of not just physical health, but mental and spiritual health as well. I have read all of his books and found them to be extremely valuable, and recommend them to everyone I know.

I also utilize his supplements, and have found them to be some of the best available today. Just remember, you get what you pay for. I for one, would prefer to spend money to stay healthy now, rather than end up with huge medical bills someday.

It also bears mentioning, that many people are spending hundreds of dollars every month on supplements which are touted to cure what ails you, but end up being flushed down the sewer pipes in millions of homes each day because the supposed nutrients contained in them do not have the bioavailability to be absorbed into the bloodstream.

Check out the sports nutrition stores, you know which ones I mean, and see how much they are charging for these products. You will find that for those who know that the average multivitamin supplement is useless, and are looking for something better, Rubin's products are not more expensive than these sports nutrition brands, which unfortunately are not that much better than grocery store vitamins. Do yourself a favor and try them before you decide. Your body will make the decision for you.

Reviewer Dan, You really shouldn't comment on something that you Obviously haven't read (Rubin's books) and that which you know nothing about (the quality of nutritional suppliments). Rubin's books are good old fashioned common sense and not just Fad diet books. And common sense is something you obviously lack. And you have no basis for saying that his reputation is fading-so Amazon sells the book cheap-it's an older book, so what? I have been using his products and advice for the last 3 years and am now showing no signs of the cancer I had and I used all alternative medicine, mainly his products. Maybe you would have a better outlook if you took his suppliments and followed the advice in his books. So educate yourself or please don't mislead others from something that could make a major difference in their quality of life!

The Great Physician is God. He designed our bodies, told us how to care for them and gave us all that we need to provide for them. His instructions are in the Bible. Jordan Rubin is the guy who put into phrasing that we can understand in today's world. Before you start bashing someone, why don't you do a little research and find out correct information. By the way, God loves you anyway.

It is really great when someone can outline for you, the things you need to remember. Not only to remember but to help you understand why it is that you are doing this. If you commit to being healthy, this little guide book is a wonder and a godsend. The best part is, it takes the guess work out of setting up a plan for yourself.

I will begin by saying that if you are currently eating the Standard American Diet (SAD) this book has information that will help you TRANSITION to a much healthier way of eating and living. However, if you are seriously ill and need healing quickly, you would be better off with George Malkmus' 'The Hallelujah Diet'. Brother George wrote his predecessor books to that one long before Rubin came out with this book, which appears to steal much of Malkmus' material. The big problem is that Rubin throws expensive organic, free range meat and dairy into the mix. If you read Rubin's first book about his healing, you will find that it didn't include fiberless, acid ash forming meat and mucus laden/forming dairy. These foods have been shown conclusively to contribute to disease by 'The China Study' and many other highly reliable sources. But, having them in this diet makes it much more palatable to people on SAD, hence it's current popularity. I also have an issue with Rubin's high priced supplements which he requires as part of his regimen. While Malkmus has a reasonably priced line of supplements available for the Hallelujah Diet and Lifestyle, they are not 'required' for maximum benefit from his regimen. I am a certified Health Minister with a Bachelors Degree in Chemical Engineering and a work background as a Certified Environmental Trainer specializing in Health & Safety and Hazardous Materials who has studied several of Rubin's books carefully and find them seriously lacking in comparison to the much more effective and practical Hallelujah Diet and Lifestyle materials.

Who is Rubin referring to? Certainly not himself. He's a naturopath (which is fine) but is also accredited by a company that gives one a "C.N.C" certificate after answering multiple choice questions and of course sending in their $150. All his books are the same: designed to sell his extremely overpriced and questionable supplements. He's a master marketer, but ceratinly not a Great Physician. And his reputation is fading fast. All one needs to do is look at the Amazon page for his first book "Patient, Heal Thyself", where it's selling for just over a dollar...
