After years of suffering with what I believed (and mistreated) as some mystery nasal allergy, I received relief in whatever time it took to disgest a couple of potassium pills. My daughter came home from work with a severely painful throat. When she mentioned it was only on the left side, I thought, ah, hah, whipped out my book handed her a handful of royal jelly capsules and within hours, her throat was completely "well". If only I had read this book years ago, I could have saved hundreds of dollars on over-the-counter and prescription drugs.

As a holistic practitioner, The Ultimate Healing System is on my "suggested reading" list. I am all for having an informed client, and after they have read this book, THEY ARE INFORMED! The rice/wheat allergies regarding ear inflamations is notable. The author, in one instance suggests that allergies (the kind that do not show up on a prick test)are responsible for such things as ear inflamations. There are easy to follow muscle testing exercises that individuals can do to see if they have adverse reactions to such things as even the suppliments and vitamins they take.
As a colon therapist, and advocate of good water,the chapter on Drinking Water, which was brief and to the point, could have contained more information.
This is a great reference book to keep on hand at all times. But read it through FIRST!

This little book has so much information on nutrition and muscle testing that I've not seen anywhre else; it ranks at the top of a huge field of books on nutrition and allergies.

There is a wealth of information here about herbs, minerals, vitamins, amino acids, and many other topics of interest to alternative health readers. The point we keep returning to is that our medical problems are caused by allergies, and that allergies can be cured by taking antidotes.

Muscle Response Testing (MRT) is used to determine what we are allergic to and exactly how to cure the allergy. But the MRT system is so hard to believe. It is like tapping into a realm of magic. And yet everything in this book takes you back to this unusual method of testing.

Do you need Vitamin C? Place a Vitamin C pill in your right hand, press it to your solar plexus. Extend your left arm. Your doctor then presses down on your extended left arm. Is your resistance strong? Is your arm rigid? Try it again, holding two vitamin pills this time. Is your extended arm stronger this way?

Being open minded, I gave it a try even though it seems unscientific. Holding different amounts of pills did have varying effects on my thoughts. Does this test rely on the fact that the person being tested knows what he is holding and this affects how strong his resistance will be? Will he then subconsciously try to satisfy the tester by giving an appropriate amount of resistance? Do the results really tell what your body needs, or do they tell what you think you need?

One of the most valuable bits of advice in this book is that your state of mind deeply affects your health, and that worrying and being afraid will not do you any good. When you feel this way you are advised to say a prayer. This will re-focus you and turn your negativity around.

The author is obviously very knowledgeable, and I believe him when he says he has helped many patients.

O.K. What I absolutely feel compelled to share with you is this: RUN (don't walk!) to the closest website or bookstore and buy yourself a copy of "The Ultimate Healing System" by Donald Lepore, N.D. I am only 50 pages into this book and am COMPLETELY floored with the AMAZING amount and quality of information on healing all kinds of allergies and dis-eases with minerals, amino acids, and vitamins. He provides you with complete instructions on Advanced Muscle Testing, what symptoms wouldlook like in deficiency state, what the vit. or mineral does in the body, what anti-aging properties it may have,what fat dissolving properties it has,
what co-factor nutrients are required to get the best results, what exposures or conditions will deplete the nutrient, etc. etc. And that is just the beginning of a 392 page book on health issues and nutrition!
Heck, I had never even HEARD of Vitamin T before, but he says it will help anemia, hemophilia and improve a fading memory! And I already took several nutrition courses and his info. is WAAAAAY beyond their levels!!!

Yes, I used to think that Muscle Test Reponse was a "twilight zone" method of diagnosing deficiencies, until I discovered it worked wonderfully for self-diagnosis. Dr. Lepore makes it easy to figure out
what deficiencies you are up against and how to fix them!

Honestly, for the cheap price it costs, this book is my No. 1 favorite book on Nutrition I have ever run across. Thank God for Trinity College of Natural Health and their Certified Nutritional Counseling coursework! Now, after all these years, I'm FINALLY getting answers to some of the most thorny health problems I and loved ones have faced. :-) At last, Dr. Lepore, you have introduced me to the power to heal on the deepest level! GOD BLESS YOU!

This book is filled with very valuable information on nutrition, healing, and self guidance to heal and keep healthy using kinesiology. It also explains various alternative holistic healing techniques.

I have been using this book for about 10 years, and constantly refer back to it. I have had some success in using the kinesiology, although I think it is more a tool for using one's own intuition. The descriptions of the uses of herbs is one of the best I have seen. I particularly like Lepore's description and rationalization for Epsom Salt baths and walks along the beach. Nature heals! Does anyone know how I can get in touch with Lepore? I'm so impressed with his book, that I would like to have a consultation with him someday. (...)

If a could give this book a ten star rating I would. Donald LePore, the author, wrote that migraine headache were caused by a deficiency of organic sodium (not table salt-NaCl). I knew that celery had the most organic sodium of any vegetable so I decided to juice it and see if it helped relieve my migraine headaches. IT DID. Within 30 minutes the migraine was gone and I could return to hard physical work or exercise. I have controlled every migraine
headache since then.

I have owned this book since it was first published. So much new information has been published since that time and changed the way people think about holistic health. Sometimes you just don't know who to believe. When I read this book, I had a gut
instinct that this guy was the "real deal"... And this is my "go to book" -- always, when I want to figure out something that isn't quite medically wrong with me, but that I'm just not quite right.. Nobody talks about the kinds of stuff mentioned in this
book. I mean nobody..... There are herbs that have natural vitamin and mineral properties which can help balance the body in such a simple way. LePore provides loads of information...I underlined so much just so I reminded myself not to keep
searching for new things I keep reading everywhere else. I have to keep reminding myself that this book is truly the best ever...and to leave it out where I can reference it as my first choice... The body's needs seem to change often during the day, as situations like stress, being outside in the sun..and supplements that might have seemed adequate when you started your day can suddenly turn into a deficiency before the day is over. I often find myself "out of balance" as seasons change..and I have learned to find out exactly which supplements, herbs, glandulars, homeopathic remedies might work to make me feel more balanced. I read this book again today, while sitting in the sun, only to realize I was becoming deficient in Vitamin F. (bet you guys didn't know there was such a thing as vitamin F) It's when you're deficient in particular fatty acids and you wind up feeling exhausted and allergic to foods....I would love to know where this guy LePore is...He seems like such a genius when you read a book like this...understanding the body's chemistry from a place that most alternative practitioners never explore.

This is a book I would never want to leave my possession. Like someone else mentioned, I might have to buy a second copy --just to make sure I never am without this information.
If you're someone who is interested in nutritional information, holistic healing and wishing to have the tools right in your own possession to help you feel more balanced, plus having the autonomy not to require intervention by doctors or any healers, try it...It's totally worth the small price! And I think you'll read this information over and over again as I have done!

Not only is this book great to refer to when needed, it makes for an interesting leisurely read. The technique is well described and easy to do on your own. Includes an abundance of information for anyone who is interested in health and the influence of what affects the body and how. I find it easy to read and eye-opening.
