Buy it, borrow it, whatever it takes, get a hold of this book and read it. Dr. Jubb's concise knowledge of health and the human body will catapult your understanding beyond 99% of the health practioners in the country. Knowingness will replace mysteries about internal functions of the body, leading you to a very long, happy, healthy life.

David and Annie clear up all of the misinformation in the health community today about food and healing.

Getting a copy of any of the works by these authors is one of the best things you can do for your continued health!

This book is written for biologists, chemists, physicists, all manner of graduated doctors, allopathic and holistic. It requires knowledge of the inability of allopathic medicine to explain origins of life. It is a deep think, and an opening to a true paradigm shift in understanding the foundation of health. A fabulous book, only to be superceded by "Jubbs Cell Rejuvenation" (2006).

I found this book to be comprehensive, clear and definitely worth reflecting on. The authors delineate a precise paradigm of the connections between body, mind environment and nutrition. I would recommend this book to anybody who's truly open to embracing a higher consciousness and shifting their relationship to food and health.

Don't pay $29.99 at a Sprint store, buy it here. Great product, fits perfectly. I think you could play football and it wouldn't come out, it's that stable yet still comfortable.

Don't get me wrong- I would not argue that eating raw food is not a good idea, or even that they can't be a critical part of proper nutrition, but to claim that they can somehow cure cancer? Seriously? My loving sister bought this for me when I was sick, to try and help me recover, along with the recipe book. I read most of it (not all), and it was difficult. It was difficult because the author just spews out gobs and gobs of unscientific BS. But the BS is not straight up. It's mixed with well founded biological science, followed without reason, by unfounded nonsense. I felt as if I did not have a degree in Biology, the authors explanations might have actually made sense....but then it just gets really ridiculous. Here's an example:

pg 106 "Detoxification of the blood and body is owed primarily to the liver" They follow with several paragraphs about the functions of the liver.

Nothing inherently wrong about that. Then it gets nutty the following pg:

"Subatomic energies of zero-point residuum, pair production, vacuum polarization, and all the forces of the universe are manifest in the liver."

Oh, all the forces of the universe huh? Stuff that's been observed in particle accelerators and with super lasers is also going on in our liver, eh? WOW. Here, let me break down what the authors are actually saying, for those uninitiated:

"I read some Stephen Hawking book... well, I didn't READ it, but I took some words out if, ya know, and strung them together to make a sentence that I figured you wouldn't understand, but sounded really smart and convincing, because it uses quantum physics vocabulary."

Now I'm picking and choosing here, but the whole book is like this. It can go from entirely sensible, well founded knowledge about how the human body works that you could look up in a textbook, or primary scientific literature, to complete and utter nonsense. Such as the main premise of the book, that you can easily regulate your body pH to be alkaline by eating raw foods. I can tell you that I have a healthy pH and I've been eating cheeseburgers and burritos. You know how I know I have a healthy pH? Because I'm alive and (relatively) healthy. Yeah that's right. If your body strays out of a range of pH you'll be in bad shape. And it has nothing to do with raw foods or no raw foods, but primarily your kidneys, your lungs, and some Hydrogen atoms moving around. News flash to the authors: there is not some mystical lack of electrons floating around that our body can only get a hold of through eating raw foods!!!

This book is also full of a lot of nonsense often repeated in the "health food" industry, like how phytoplankton (which they hilariously refer to as "space dust"!!!) stimulates the immune system, or nonsense about the need for "purifying" and "detoxifying." Taking a good old number 2 will do more for purifying and detoxifying your body than taking any of the advice in this book.

Here's a few more gems before I go:

"Enormous sea turtles can live 600 years." pg 113

"Tachyon flow within macroscopic lay lines in a continuous manner in the body, without dissipation, with the head and the feet energetically linked by a neutral zone where both flow into each other." pg 119

"Getting back to nature and eating some soil-born organisms encourages nerve growth and colony-stimulating factors to bring dramatic healing and extraordinary vitality." pg 149

"Cancerous cells were cells that once existed without oxygen. They were cells that mutated back to their undifferentiated colloidal life form. Physical challenges, like consumption of heat-processed fats, proteins and carbohydrates cause cells to lose their fixed voltage." pg 153

...but instead found a painful slog through near incomprehensible BS. While the style careens between the bio-speak of professional biologists and dips now and then into New Agey nonsense it pains me because despite this flaw, there are some real flashes genius as well as some great ideas for further exploration. I am an avid reader and experienced health seeker who otherwise loves the Jubbs so it is a real disappointment to have to forgo their books.

If I were a scientist, I'd be excited to challenge and explore with the authors, as many mainstream models are potentially debunked, which could open up an entirely new approach to nutritional science. Sadly it's style and terminology breaks rapport with any reader who isn't a biologist or New Ager, making it's ideas nearly incomprehensible. It also appears that someone forgot to hire a copy editor as there are many glaring mistakes that interrupt an already bumpy read. Sorry not to be able to recommend it.

I was so disappointed in this book ! I didnt learn anything new !!....I think will write a book ! so many idiots write books like this one and rake so much money !! ps. to the person who wrote this book ! stop copying other peoples imformation and get a real job !! Dont buy this book save your money and buy an icecream !!
