FINALLY somebody wrote a book to fairly and accurately contrast the dominant models of health care in our country. The Mechanistic Model vs. the Vitalistic Model.

Having been employed in Big Pharma for years and seeing the inner workings of an industry that HEAVILY influences doctors prescribing habits, I can say this book has hit the nail right on the head. Not only does it expose the fallacy that "drugs cure", but it also documents the devastation on health care in America through medical error and adverse drug reactions. Justly it properly positions the mechanistic model where it was INTENDED to be used.... Crisis and Trauma.... not healthcare.

Most importantly, however, this book, eloquently and clearly gives the roadmap to outrageous health: spiritually, emotionally, and physically. As a Doctor, "One Minute Wellness", is on my MUST read list for my patients, my family and my friends.

Kudos, Dr. Ben and Dr. Loman

A well written book using a unique style that tells a tale outlining problems on the left pages and a protocol of solutions on the right. At times, this proved to be somewhat distracting. My interest in this book was twofold: health care considerations because of my background as a general and plastic surgeon, and a passion to understand cultural issues that impact our lives.

The content is based on alternative health care that mainly incorporates chiropractic teachings inclusive of spinal adjustments, and dietery, physical, emotional, spiritual, environmental, and cultural issues. Dr. Ben Lerner is a chiropractic physician, and is well known for his work in the Olympics. Many of his ideas, modalities, and suggestions are not new. He has, however, put together a summary of wellness protocol that includes: self-help, "Undiet" composed more of God's food and less of man's food, exercise (thinner is not healthier), peace of mind and great relationships ( to avoid negative stress), maximizing living, and a list of God's foods.

The case made against modern medicine has some merits, but it would be too simplistic to trash centuries of progress, considering the necessity for modifications that cannot take place without a change in socio-cultural attitudes.

And, so, his point about our culture and how it affects behavior is right on target...and in full agreement with the title: Precious Souls: A Culture Unraveling. Indeed, the case against pharmaceutical companies advertising prescription drugs with a set of symptoms, is quite troubling. He calls it " ...holy alliance with the doctors..." Admittedly, we are as a nation, overtreated, overmedicated, and perhaps overoperated.

I recommend it for its helpful outline in self-help, alternative health care, and cultural issues, but these measures should be part of, and not a substitute to modern medicine; not withstanding the point that the system (the culture actually) needs fixing.

I work in the wellness industry and my patients have read this book and formed a love/hate relationship with it. The info that this book brings to light is shocking. Everyone needs to be educated on this material, it will save your life! I have changed the way my clinic helps people my saving from our system that kills people, yikes!

The book was a surprise in content but after thinking about it made a lot of sense. Some of these techniques are brand new to me and I think I will certainly use them. The book is a bit cluttered with extra stuff that I think could be eliminated. Overall, a good purchase.

This book combines the hard science and a fictional story to bring home a point about health and wellness. Everyone interested in their health or health of a loved one should read this book.

Never have I found so much good insights in one place and in an easy to apply format. This book has changed my life and given me hope for something better.

I am a wellness advocate and really like a lot of the practical information in the book. It is explained so that anyone can grasp the concepts easily. I like the nutrition, exercise, and spiritual aspects and believe that those three things are the key to ultimate wellness. I dont really see how chiropractic practice comes into play. I believe that chiropractors can indeed help a person who is having difficulties. Unfortunately this book gives a clear message that you cant have true wellness without it. I believe that if you follow good nutrition, exercise and spirituality that you minimize the need for a chiropractor.

If you like Nourishing Traditions by Sally Fallon, you will like this book. The author strives to paint a picture of what true health is and not what pharmaceutical companies want you to think. Thank you Dr. Jerner.

In the past, I've found myself following health book advice for a day or two (a week at the most), then giving up. But this book gives practical information you can REALLY put into effect in your daily life. Even I can manage a minute a day.

I also like the way the book is written ... half of it is an interesting fictionalized story; the other half is the "advice" book. The two halves mesh together perfectly so we can see an example of how the tips work in real life.

I think the author is absolutely right that we need to take responsibility for our own health, and that our dependence on the medical industry is part of the global health problem we're facing. If we can find a way to get healthier without drugs and surgery, we'll be much better off. The advice in this book can help us to just that.

Bravo to Drs. Lerner and Loman for this excellent book.

This book is excellent. The fictional stories are engaging and thought-provoking. The non-fiction side is equally engaging. I experienced a difference in my life before even finishing the book. It's well-researched, down to earth and solid. I highly recommend it!
