LifeForce: A Dynamic Plan For Health, Vitality and Weight Los [Paperback]

Jeffrey S. McCombs D.C. (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: January 1, 2010

LifeForce by Chiropractor Jeffrey S. McCombs outlines a simple and effective approach to preventing and overcoming disease, illness, and other health concerns that has been used by many of the author's patients. The LifeForce Plan is a potent tool for detoxifying the body, reestablishing the normal flora of the tissues, and reawakening the body's innate ability to regulate, balance, and protect itself. It teaches us how to activate the endless life-force potential that resides in every cell of our bodies. The seemingly miraculous results are achieved through a time-proven approach to reversing the ravaging effects that antibiotics have had on our bodies. Though antibiotics are useful, it is their worldwide overuse, misuse, and general application that have produced a devastating imbalance. The LifeForce Plan reverses that imbalance and restores the regenerative, life-enhancing cycle of the body, as the dominant cycle over the degenerative, "aging" cycle. The Plan succeeds where other anti-Candida diets have continuously failed, due to key fundamental insights, and it also provides a way to balance the effects of antibiotics when their judicious use is necessary. This is not intended to be a typical diet book. It offers a way to achieve better "biofeedback" from the body that will enable you to make dietary choices that will work for you. The Plan is a "bridge" back to an optimal state of health for our bodies.

Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

The author holds that many chronic conditions, ranging from fatigue to food cravings, reflect the presence of systemic candidiasis (an invasive yeast infection), whose true occurrence he believes is se-verely underdiagnosed by conventional medical practitioners. His LifeForce Plan is a one-time detoxification tool with six key components: diet (no pork, sugar, dairy, alcohol, or grains except brown rice), water, 15 SF722 anti-Candida capsules daily, vitamin C, sweating sessions, and, after six weeks, acidophilus capsules. Because the SF722 capsules contain undecenoic acid, a derivative of the castor bean, it has not been approved for pregnant women in the first trimester. Caveat aside, the book is acceptable for larger alternative health collections.

Well, I guess anything worth doing is not easy. This book will give you the tools necessary to rid your body of candida yeast which is the root of a lot of disease we experience in the body according to many health professionals (although not recognized by most drug-pushing physicians these days). It's a good read and full of useful, healthful information. But, to do the candida cleasnse it mentions in the book you have to go to Dr. Jeff's website www.lifeforceplan.com and purchase his supplements to take along with the diet. The program can take 8 - 12 weeks as well with a sensible and logical diet plan included (you have to stop feeding the yeast to kill it). The only downside to this whole plan is the cost of the supplements which are about $576 for the whole 12 weeks or so (go to the website for details). Otherwise, it's a good read and may be worth your time (and money)to do this cleanse, especially if it saves you a few thousand dollars in medical bills down the road (an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure!).

If everyone read this book the Pharmaceutical companies would be hurting financialy. I can't say enough good about this book. It has changed my way of eating. Not only have I lost weight, but I feel like I'm in my thirties. I have more energy and stamina than I have had in years.

This review is from: LifeForce: A Dynamic Plan For Health, Vitality and Weight Los (Paperback)

I started this program in order to rid myself of bad complexion slow bowels and stubborn weight. One out of three isn't great but they are a big three in my life so it's not all that bad either. I lost 30 pounds across 17 weeks. This includes the time it took me having added the bacteria a week late and the add back portion of the plan where various foods are reintroduced. Keep in mind that this is a one time plan and also that the book is very short. It's a brief overview of the plan and Doctor McCombs' general perspective on modern health. Good information, good insights. I've heard so many different testimonials that I honestly believe but in my personal case it could not clear my complexion or my irregularity. That's not necessarily going to be true of anyone else but I'm still glad I did it for the weight loss and new insights into the weight issue and living healthy. One of the worst health problems I've had was cleared up by one key idea. I talked with Doctor McCombs via email about it and he openly said he doesn't heed his own advice on the subject much of the time but if it weren't for him mentioning it and a company that specializes in it, I'd still have insomnia. I have had insomnia my whole life and now it's gone. It was gone immediately after I took the advice and it wasn't even recommended for insomnia! It wasn't the lifeforce plan but it was on his list of advice. I respect Dr. McCombs for his common sense and theories.

Update: I just want to quickly update my original review...about year ago I think. Although my chronic constipation was at its worst during the plan, even considering that I was partly doing it to remedy that problem, I've noticed that since completing his program and before starting anything else, it's not been a problem once. I suppose I spoke too soon. It seems to have cleared up the problem after all.
