Pam Levin has done it again. She has produced a book which has very clear relevance to the human condition of becoming healthy and staying healthy. While her other books were about self-care and nourishing the developmental perspectives of life, this one is about nutrition and nourishing this body - our physical aspect. In a clear, cogent and well researched and well scripted fifteen chapters, Pam outlines the causes of osteoporosis and the cure. She points out the statistics that in the next 60 years (listen up you x generation and boomers) we will have over 135 million people suffering with this debilitating disease. The fact that osteoporosis (sick bone disease) is probably a cause of heart disease, and therefore contributes to the top two killers (heart disease and cancer), is startling. This is a serious disease which is thought to have a pediatric onset. It is not too late to pay attention to good nutrition and to the way in which we use synthetic supplements. Many of the synthetic supplements may be poorly absorbed because their synthetic nature is not compatible with the body's needs. Pam, with the help of case studies, including her own frightening encounter with back and hip problems and devastating pain which kept her bedridden, outlines a six point program to restore the nutritional balance and feed our sick bones appropriately. The book gives the most cogent and coherent discussion of nutrition, food sources and nutritional supplements for healing and recovering from osteoporosis that I have ever red. Yes, osteoporosis is not irreversible! Perfect Bones includes a list of 84 signs for this "silent" disease. The book gives a review of medical options and their side effects. It provides interviews with leading experts on bone health. The dangers of taking synthetic nutritional supplements are discussed and list are provided of over 100

whole-food concentrates available in the market place. The book gives directions on how you can find a qualified practitioner to research your own bone health. Levin points out that "my bones are not your bones" and that each of us is unique and deserving of a unique program rather than the "one size fits all" approach. The way in which the program is fitted to your uniqueness is through Applied Kineseology and a diagnostic system known as Contact Reflex Analysis (Versendaal). In this system your body is asked the questions about your

nutritional needs through the electrical system of the body. This diagnostic process does not require complicated machinery, simply your own body's inner knowledge of what it needs, and a qualified practitioner to ask the right questions.

This book is an easy and interesting read and a positive MUST READ for anyone wishing to achieve the perfect ten of a healthy and balanced body and bones. I highly recommend it, and

having experienced this diagnostic process and healed myself through it I am very exited that this information be read and accepted by professionals and all in need of it.

This is a serious disease which is thought to have pediatric onset. It is not too late to pay attention to good nutrition and to the unhealthy foods and inadequate supplements we use. Many of the foods we eat and drink are toxic, and the synthetic suppplements may be poorly absorbed because their synthetic nature is not compatible with the body's needs. The phosphates in carbonated drinks leaches calcium from the bones.
