Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
The Eastern idea that food is medicine has been catching on in the Western world in recent years. Still, one has to think that for most people, reading this book will seem like dropping in on an alternative universe in which English is spoken but nothing else seems familiar. Written by Shyam Singha, an acupuncturist who studied with monks in the Gobi Desert to learn about natural healing, The Secrets of Natural Health functions as a basic handbook on the subject. Along with dietary suggestions, it also prescribes spinal adjustment for every problem, and throws in breathing exercises and yoga for some.
Review
The Secrets of Natural Health by Shyam Singha, is a combination of Singha's personal approach to health and Ayurvedic medicine, which is based on holistic and spiritual principals for attaining good health. Remedies include fasting, enemas, and special diets, with many foods given healing: almost magical properties. There is practical well-known advice, such as the avoidance of fats, chewing foods properly before swallowing, and interesting herbal remedies for non-life-threatening afflictions such as nausea, sore throat, hangovers, and headaches. However, some advice, remedies and prescribed diets, appear to be highly subjective and by western medical standards, even detrimental to one's health. For example, the recommendations of the "Dry Elimination Diet," based on dry toast and crackers and an almost complete elimination of fluids, appears especially unsound and may lead to dehydration, electrolyte imbalances and other health risks. Simplistic explanations are given as causes for complicated diseases, with single cures ambitiously applied to an extensive array of illnesses. Other dietary advice and given causes for a host of ailments, including diabetes, asthma, high cholesterol, acne, "angry liver," even wrinkles, appear mythical and are equally questionable. You'll still find some solid information, and interesting material on the properties of herbs and foods. However, The Secrets of Natural Health is not for those with high risk health problems and much advice, if observed, should be done so with caution. -- From Independent Publisher

A Vauable and Permanent Addition to any Home,
By Mark "markn-c" (Scotland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Secrets of Natural Health (Paperback)
I met Shyam only 3 weeks before he died and I wished that I had met him 30 years before. If you can be strong enough to follow his remedies to the letter you will benefit all your life as my best friend and her family did for 20 years or more. The book is informative and easy to navigate. Definitely one for the home bookshelf. It deserves to be a hardback.

A great book for those who want to avoid pharmaceutical drugs,

This review is from: The Secrets of Natural Health (Paperback)
I was a patient of Shyam's for nearly 12 years up to his death. His remedies might seem bizarre but they work if followed religiously. He cured a bacterial infection I had that modern medicine had failed to cure; he made me believe that you are what you eat and if you eat right it will do you good! He aslo taught me how to relieve nerve pain without drugs. His death was a sad loss to myself and to the many thousands of others who had the benefit of knowing him and being treated by him.

This is really a great book.,
By Cor Crystalhenge (Hannover, Germany) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Secrets of Natural Health (Paperback)
There is so much information packed in this book that can help you with almost every health problem that you may have.The other guy that previously rated this book obviously didn't read between the lines and check out what this book really had to offer. He seems to be the kind of person that analyzes how a book is written instead of reviewing the real content. To sum it up in one line: Enjoy.
