This is absolutely one of the best books on health I've ever read. It is clear, concise, and easy to follow. There are many color charts and illustrations inside, which make the book engaging and easy to understand. Though it may seem pricey, it's the size of a textbook and packed with useful information. I do wish they had included an index with the book, but evidently they want you to buy the CD-ROM version for that. In spite of this drawback, I found the book very helpful and would recommend it to anyone serious about their health.

This book is full of up-to-date medical information from reputable medical studies on the most important health issues of our times. If you are interested in living as healthfully as you can, this book would be an invaluable resource. (Our teenagers love it, too!)

Anyone who is interested in improving their own health, or the health of their family and loved ones, needs this book. It presents in layman's terms a commonsense approach to understanding what causes disease and what can turn health around for the better! It's refreshing to see an M.D. who is more interested in getting the individual to take charge of their own health than in keeping them as a paying patient through non-stop drug therapies! Hats off to you, Dr. Nedley!

This book is packed with common sense guidelines and bottom line results of solid scientific studies about what causes disease and how to take charge of your own health without buying a specialist's products. Every chapter is packed with advice on how you can implement lifestyle changes to improve your own health in your own home.

I haven't found a more sensible compilation of medical studies or practical advise on how to prevent chronic and deadly diseases, or how to reverse many of the diseases the Western world is suffering from, like heart disease, obesity, high blood pressure, and osteoporosis. This book contains lots of graphics to help us understand what medical researchers are saying without requiring a medical degree to comprehend them. Each chapter is supplemented with a bibliography so you can investigate their findings yourself if you wish.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who is sick and tired of being sick and tired!

I have looked at some of the reviews, submitted by other customers, and it is a mixed bag. Each individual is of course entitled to his or her own opinion, and to present the same.

What we have here is a commonsense approach to our health, without the usual fluff, or the usual turned up noses of the family doctor. All we get is this prescription, and that prescription. It seems all our doctors want to do these days is poison you, or cut you, to remove a part of your anatomy.

As we have been told time and time again prevention is the best way to combat disease. Yet this common sense approach is not taught in our nation's Medical Schools. Why? Could it be there would be little or no need for doctors, or specialist? Could it be there would be no need for the snake oils peddled by the industries responsible for creation of these formulas? Maybe there is a keep this quiet, because if the truth gets out, a great number of prescription drugs will become useless, which they are already.

Pick up any normal Medical Journal, and all you see are drug therapies, drug promotions, or medical tools, mostly at the great cost of medical care, which to most is unaffordable. Is it all about money? Not about getting well.

Radiation, chemo-therapy are the big buzz words in cancer treatment these days. Even more so medical journals tell us these therapies may kill us before they kill the cancer. Even so there is no common sense approach to medical care. Researchers are only looking for the approach that will enrich, not cure. Not only cancer, but diabetes, heart disease, etc.

Look at it this way, suppose you were to break your leg, and all the doctor did was to give you a set a crutches, as a form of treatment. Make sense? No. But in the medical world today this is all we get. Crutches, in the form of prescription drugs.

Read the book, and be your own laboratory. Try what is outlined in it and give it some time and see if you do not start to feel better. Fresh air, daily exercise, sleep, at the proper time, clean water, proper amounts of sunshine, and a good relationship, with people, (hold no grudges)and what ever, or how ever you worship, live up to it. This is the book in a nut shell.

But one has to remember we do not need animals in our diet, the consumption of flesh foods, destroys, more than helps, and animals get the same diseases as mankind. Then look at the hundreds of millions of animals slaughtered each day, and understand no one gives these animals a physical before feeding them to mankind.

This is a book every medical student (and every MD of course) should have. I am a medical student and this is one of the books I have been learning the stuff that we as doctors should know but they don't teach us at school. It teaches a science based lifestyle medicine. Here is the secret of what to do in order to conquer the top diseases that are destroying our society (heart disease, cancer and diabetes, and more). It not only find the problem but it teaches you the solution. It is very well documented (every few sentence you will find a reference) in order to dig deeper if you want to. I am surprised to see that Amazon does not carry the book. He also has an awesome Depression book.

What first attracted me to the book was its very user friendly and colorful layout. But when I started reading it I just could not put it down. It has changed my life. It is full of such common sense health information. He uses close to 3,000 footnotes so Dr. Nedley really did his homework.

CAUTION: Don't read this book unless you want to feel better, be healthier and just enjoy life much more. This is what it has done for me.

Dr. Neil Nedley has produced a tremendous resource for anyone interested in improving their health or helping others improve their health. The book has current, extremely well documented information and is written in an easy to understand and attractive format. This book is bound to become a classic in a short time. If you are interested in health education be sure to get the available CD. Thanks doc!

I am so excited, as I have read this new book, to find current scientific documentation coupled with easy to understand explanations of how the body works. I am thrilled with the illustrations and the application of them to eveyday life. What a powerful tool in the hands of health educators and the public alike to change the health of our nation!!

When I started reading this book I just could hardly put it down. It is full of practical information on how to inprove youre health and live a longer more satisfying life. I would recommend this book to any one interested in living a longer and more rewarding life.
