Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Null, natural health and exercise guru, distills his wisdom about how to achieve a better physical and emotional life. Null's focus, as in all of his 100-plus books and other publications, is on natural eating, stress reduction and exercise. However, much of the advice, while helpful, is not original or exciting. For example, Null advocates a cleansing fast followed by adoption of a vegetarian diet without processed foods. Some of his advice not drinking fluoridated water and taking a warm bath after exercising seems too dramatic for most readers to follow. What is appealing about this book is Null's soothing, practical tone. He discusses how so many people feel lethargic, depressed and generally unwell but have no diagnosed medical problem. By following his plan (eliminating meat, sugar, etc., and introducing healthier substitutes including vitamins, seaweed and vegetables), people will begin to feel better almost immediately. To further nurture an improved way of life, Null, wearing his pop-psychologist hat, tells people to embrace change, strive to accomplish more each day and stop comparing oneself to others. Unfortunately, Null undermines his best efforts by pitching his vitamin products so openly; the last 50 or so pages of the book are a catalogue of his products, and other ads appear at intervals throughout the book. While his followers may not mind this dose of commercialism, readers interested in following even part of Null's multi-step program may feel cheated. FYI: This title has been ranked as high as #2 on Barnes&Noble.com's e-book bestseller list.

1.0 out of 5 stars Bonehead advice from an armchair nutritionist, March 5, 2004

I like Gary Null, really. But this book is a WASTE of your money!
Filled with inaccurate information (like "wine contains pro-antistatins" Does he mean proanthocyanidins? Also, "Take liquid acidophilus to increase your intake of fiber to 50 grams per day." Acidophilus contains NO fiber! Did anyone edit this book before publishing??) and misspellings ("Benign prosthetic hypoplasia" instead of the correct benign prostatic hyperplasia; "propellus", which should be propolis, and many, oh so VERY many more), this book does more harm than good. Particularly as, since his name carries so much weight, people will go with his recommendations (like taking 100 mg of echinacea for immune support, or red clover for curcuminoids) over those of someone who may be less well known, but more intelligent.

Dont buy this book. If you do buy it, dont read it. Dont even give it away to someone else. Just toss it in the recycle bin, where it belongs.
