5.0 out of 5 stars 24 Hour Diet for 24 Karat Health, March 6, 2010

By

This review is from: The 24 Hour Diet (Hardcover)

Brian Peskin is nothing less than a genius in the field of nutra-science and this book is invaluable to readers seeking to find answers and solutions for obtaining and maintaining optimum health and well-being.

His research (based on scientific studies) and knowledge of Parent Essential Oils is on the cutting edge and just waiting to be "discovered" by the rest of the entire nutrition field currently rife with lies, fiction and myth. Peskin's honesty and candor might ruffle some feathers, but then again just look at the state of personal health in America today to realize that we, as a nation, are in real trouble.

Learn why fish oil will kill you, why eating fiber is actually bad for you, how immune suppresion can be reversed, why the FDA recommended diets for disease control is actually exasperating the trend of modern epidemics such as diabetes. Learn why you don't need to blow your money on expensive vitamins and other supplements when you eat the correct foods and take the right oils in the correct ratio.

If you truly value and want to take control of your health and understand how the food industry is poisoning us all this book should be at the top of your list.

Now for personal testimonial - something that many "reviewers" of other "diet" books leave out for some reason - maybe because they do not work? Brian has been readily available to answer my wife's (seemingly endless) quesions and inquiries. She is a 5 year cancer survivor and intends to stay that way. We both got off the fish oil and switched to PEO's and follow the 24-Hour Diet plan. I went from size 40 waist to size 34 while maintaining and actually building muscle (of course this was in conjunction with a proper weight training and exercise regimen), feel better than ever and have more energy at 54 years of age than I can remember in the past 20 years. Just the other day a co-worker remarked on my physique - a compliment I have not heard since I was in my 20's and weighed a muscular 230 pounds - but now I weigh 190 and look even better!

Although there are products offered such as the right blend of PEOs, Mr. Peskin in no way forces the issue or states that they are required - the reader can formulate the correct ratio of PEOs using readily available oils - but we have found these products to be moderately priced and much easier to use.

I can't recommend this book highly enough. It just might be one of the most meaningful and life-changing books you will ever read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Educate yourself and lose weight easily and painlessly, January 3, 2010

This review is from: The 24 Hour Diet (Hardcover)

I purchased this book, read and implemented its guidelines, lost 37 pounds in 3.5 months as did my husband (32 lbs lost) who is a "pre-diabetic". His fasting blood sugar without any medication dropped to 101 and is continuing to improve. We are not, I REPEAT, not hungry at all, have increased energy and improved blood stats. This diet will improve your health tremendously and you can prove it to yourself by monitoring your bloodwork and the return of vibrant health of your youth. Another family member who has fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue implemented these diet guidelines, has had an enormous improvement in her health and dropped 8 lbs in less than 1 month without any exercise routine to enhance the diet. Highly recommended to anyone wanting to improve their health and drop excess weight without the diet up and downs of other programs. This is a healthy lifestyle change that is easy to adapt to.

5.0 out of 5 stars My Results so far - I Feel Good, July 31, 2010

By 

Geo (Sunny Florida, United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The 24 Hour Diet (Hardcover)

Reviewer Clementine is uninformed, and obviously did not read or listen to Mr Peskin, who is even teaching the Doctors the way it really is. Please review his work, listen to him speak at oneradionetwork dot com, and then I'm sure you would agree with him. After just 3 months since starting this combination, I have been feeling better than I have for about 10 years. I have lost weight following Brian's general outline, rather easily. I mix a batch of Organic Expeller Pressed oils myself, which cost me under $15 per 8 oz. I buy the freshest I can find from Mountain Rose Herbs, LuckyVitamin, Amazon, etc. I mix several or all of the following in any batch. Sunflower Oil, Safflower Oil, Evening Primrose Oil, Black Seed Oil, Flax Seed Oil, Pumpkin Seed Oil, Borage Oil, a little Coconut Oil, and occasionally others. As long as I make close to a 2:1 Omega 6 to Omega 3, I am fine. I refrigerate in smaller bottles and personally use 4-6 teaspoons a day, in doses. My typical diet now is: I eat 8 oz or more of grassfed meat each day, more or less, including Bison Hot Dogs from Costco. Some eggs from an Amish farmer or TropicalTraditions. Low carbs but I am not fanatic about it. Real cultured vegetables or a good probiotic. No Fish Oil. No aspirin. I eat sprouts sprouted in a weak Ocean mineral solution (MASU sea salt). Mostly, I drink good water, coffee, Montmorency Tart Cherry juice from Brownwoodacres, or Tulsi Tea. I personally do not take any dairy, raw or conventional, at this time. I avoid GMO foods and tap water with chlorine and fluoride, of course. I have experienced pain in the past, more than most folks, but now I am feeling good. Thank you Brian.
