Product Description

In this breakthrough book, Dr. James Forleo proposes a return to the body as the site of self-healing. The problem, he says, is that we don’t understand the language of signs and symptoms it uses to communicate its healing messages. Health Is Simple helps readers decipher that language and access the great realms of health and vitality the body contains. Written in a clear, engaging style, the book takes a systems approach to health, walking readers through the basic design and function of each major organ system—the nerve, endocrine, immune, musculo-skeletal, cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, and elimination systems—and offers a set of simple practices to boost their performance. With only a few minutes a day, readers can radically improve their health and well-being. Based on his work with hundreds of patients, the program emphasizes simple correctives to diet and lifestyle, a new perspective on digestion and elimination, and the alignment of the spine and structural system. Case studies demonstrate successfully resolved conditions from chronic headaches, anxiety, and respiratory disorders to exhaustion, autoimmune disorders, and allergies. Health Is Simple offers readers access to the same customized program the author’s celebrity clients have enjoyed, with the possibility of achieving the same spectacular results.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally, a user's guide for the human body!!, October 21, 2008

By	KWG (USA) - See all my reviews

"Health is Simple" is a potent source of inspiring and empowering information! I found almost every sentence interesting or important. I finally had to put my highlighter away because I was highlighting almost every sentence. This book is my health/body bible and it should be mandatory material for health education in schools.
Dr. Forleo has mapped out in a very clear and concise format the path to health...and it really is simple! He shows how our body is the vehicle for reading balance and imbalance, what to do with the information we learn and offers the very do-able tools to attain and maintain radiant health.
Best of all, this book has a lot of heart! ~which clearly comes from the spirit and dedication of the author.
...plus, there's a great section on resources at the back of the book!
Obviously, I can't recommend it enough :)

By	Dr Kelly (Grand Junction, CO) - See all my reviews

This book has been an invaluable resource in my practice helping patients understand how the body works, the connection between the mind and body and above all else how to work for wellness. I am thrilled with layout of the book, easy to read and search chapters along with hundreds of pictures, charts and exercises giving readers not only a good understanding of their body, but also the tools to keep their mind and body healthy. Thank you Dr Forleo for bringing the wellness and Chiropractic philosophy to people all over the world!
