This book totally changed my life, July 15, 2002
I am 36 years old. For years, I have noticed an increasing amount of people around me becoming sick. Is there anyone who does not know several people who are suffering from some condition? It seemed that I couldn't get through the day without running into several ill people. Even those relatively symptom free looked tired and didn't have much spunk. At the time, I was living in Costa Rica and really looking for something meaningful to do. I learned that with cancer alone, 1 in 2.5 were predicted to be affected in the US. Logically speaking, if you add every other possible disease or condition in, it appears inevitable that almost all of us are now assured of getting something debilitating or fatal. So I began searching the web looking to develop some basic understanding that made sense. If you have done this, you know that it could take several lifetimes to sort through everything on the web. I won't even go into the millions of claims being made throughout the world. While looking for these answers one day, good fortune visited me: I ran into `Lessons from the Miracle Doctors' as a result of a friend referring me to the book. It took me about five hours to get through the book once I got it in my hands. After the first 40 pages, though, I knew that I had the single most important book on health that I had ever read. I had been involved in the casual study of health for many years, but this was truly different: no magic bullets; no outrageous claims - just facts - facts that had a ring of truth and common sense. I have always had a rule that if I can't explain it to my nine year old daughter, then I probably don't know what I am talking about. She is sharp as a tack, and it all made perfect sense to her. What kind of price can I put on her knowing this information at this age? The book is profound, and I began implementing Jon's suggestions almost immediately. About six weeks later, I realized for the first time in my life that I didn't know what "healthy" really is. I knew what it was like to be "symptom free," but not "healthy." A revelation came to me after reading the book. In the past, I had great difficulty changing habits I knew were totally unhealthy. Afterward, with clear knowledge that made sense (the whole truth), I found that I really did have the inner strength to change. Unlike in the past where I would make an effort to do something and it wouldn't take. I suppose there was a part of me that could no longer listen to recommendations, or trust the claims of "scientists" or "doctors," even if they meant well. That was a year ago. Jon's work has been an important inspiration to me. I have personally witnessed hundreds of lives changed by Jon Barron's work. I continued my research, changed careers, and am now formulating my own super food to help people "on the go" to obtain quality nutrition. In short, if you are looking for a complete (but succinct) explanation of why people are sick, and how they can prevent or reverse virtually ANY condition, including cancer, this book is pure gold. Thank you Jon!
