This book is remarkable. I look at food and the way I eat differently. I also do all I can to stay aware of how my body regenerates itself while I sleep. The explanations are clearly explained and this book is easily read in a day. If you have diet issues I urge you to read this book.

I have read many books on diet and fasting, and do fast regularly. This book touches on the liitle known fact that fasting is a PRESCRIPTION for physical (not just spiritual) health. The body was designed to thrive on clean air, clean water, and a minimal amount of pure whole food (in that order). Just think about how long you can go without air (seconds, maybe minutes), before the body goes into a panic? Now think about water... (several days)? And food...? The body can live at least a month without solid food, and even longer on liquid food (raw juices and such). Wattles explains, in a somewhat scientific way, that fasting is not only desired for health , but required. It is required to recover quickly from illnesses and to maximize your lifespan. Not many books on the market will approach this subject as he has, and this book is a gem for my library.

I highly recommned this book to anyone who desires health in their life. This was an easy read. I could not put the book down.

This book offers simple answers to those who are prepared to absorb them. Go to the quiet and listen to your body. First, you must learn to be still and listen. Good advice.

Taking into account it was written in the 1900's I will be brief. It is overpriced, completely Christian based and redundant.
