Dr. Colbert, the author of "What You Don't Know May Be Killing You", has a heart for people to get in control of their health. This book is written from a Biblical point of view combined with evidence from medical research. This book covers a multitude of topics including but not limited to the importance of drinking water and exercising; high levels of metals such as mercury in our systems; detoxification; the effects of emotions such as anger, pride, and anxiety on our body; the importance of consuming living foods and foods that need to be eliminated from our diets; the diet deception; toxins in our homes; and so much more. This book can be a guide to living a healthy lifestyle. It is easy to read and understand. Every person who reads this book will find atleast one way to have a healthier lifestyle. Self-discipline is very important in applying the personal health choices encouraged by the author. However, to do everything that Dr. Colbert suggests will be difficult for the average person.

The first chapter "The Menace of Mercury" really grabbed my attention because Dr. Colbert was mercury poisoned from leaking mercury dental fillings. He tells about developing chronic fatigue and becoming jaundiced from the poisoning. He tells how to detox with natural supplements, and how to find a safe biological dentist to safely remove the filling. (But his telephone number for a dentist referral didn't work. Call 1-800-311-6265 for a number that will refer you to a dentist.) He gave a number for finding a MD who knows how to treat mercury toxicity (1-800-LEADOUT). He also told the symptoms of mercury poisoning and how mercury would mess up different systems in your body because "mercury is more toxic than lead, cadium and arsenic!" He said that it messes up the digestive bacteria in the gut, can contribute to antibiotic resistance, and interfere with nerve impulses in the body leading to neurological diseases. He connects mercury to infertility, birth defects, miscarriages, loss of concentration and memory. He gives many more effects and symptoms, but you will have to buy the book. It is worth buying so you can pass it on to someone else and help them.

Dr. Colbert said that mercury can cause autoimmune diseases in the body such a "rhematoid arthritis, Hashimoto's thyroditis, multiple sclerosis, lupus and other autoimmune diseases." Since Dr. Colbert is a holistic physician he understands the dangers of toxicity whereas traditional physicians don't even recognize the symptoms. His advice along with other authors like Dr. Hal Huggins has helped me through my time of chelating (ridding) my body of mercury.

He told how the American Dental Association refuses to admit that mercury in the teeth hurts people because they are afraid of lawsuits. The ADA says that mercury in amalgam is tightly bound in the filling, but if that is true, how did a medical doctor like Dr. Colbert become mercury poisoned? Dr. Colbert says mercury isn't bound, because he was poisoned when mercury leaked from his teeth.

Dr. Colbert is an example of just one way mercury from teeth can poison you. Only one chapter pertained to mercury poisoning. He also told other ways we are damaging our health in other chapters. If persons would take his advice on getting the mercury safely out of their teeth, detoxifying their bodies and using non toxic cleaning supplies they could be on the road to recovery from diseases like chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia.

I applaude Dr. Colbert for speaking out on this mercury issue because I was mercury poisoned myself from breathing mercury vapor while a dentist drilled into a "silver" filling. (Go to www.mercurypoisoned.com for my story.) Dr. Colbert will help wake up the Christian community to the fact that "silver" fillings are very dangerous because they are actually 50% mercury. Christians, are you paying attention??? God sent this man to warn you. Are you listening or yawning and saying, "Oh, it won't happen to me." It happened to Dr. Colbert and it happened to me, and it can happen to you. It is very true that WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW MAY BE KILLING YOU.

I've seen Dr. Colbert speak on "This Is Your Day" with Benny Hinn. His book is just as great as his talks. He is a medical doctor who uses a holistic approach to health mainly in a proactive and preventitive way. This book is easy and fast reading. It is jam packed with useful information on what everyday things we can avoid for better health. It includes information on detoxifying the body and gives people a "heads up" on harmful things that we come into contact with everyday that we don't think even twice about. It is a great book and I highly recommend it for people to see what things they are really exposing themselves to every day and what you can do live a healthier life.

This book is an eye opener. I can't believe how lethal the Amercian diet has become--we are overfeed and undernourished-and how uneducated people are about nutrition. I recommend that everyone pick up a copy of this book and follow Dr. Colbert's suggestions. Eating healthy is easier than most people think.

I especially enjoyed the sections on mercury poisoning and the Atkins diet.

I easily give this book 5 stars!

"What You Don't Know," is a great book that gives well researched information of the various things that a person needs to do to improve their health. It is generally easy to read without all the medical babble and scientific terms that can all to often make health books seem like a text book.

After reading the book you will most certainly be reconsidering the foods, vitamins, etc. you are consuming (or not consuming but should be). My only comment here is that in many ways one is forced to say, "What Dr. Don Colbert says makes sense and the research seems to back it, but how in the world do I really do all this?"

In the back of the book, the author does offer the ability to buy, from him, the proper supplements one needs to maintain good health (for about $80 a month as I recall). Perhaps, the book was written to sell Dr. Don's vitamins? Could one go to all this trouble just to sell vitamins? Hmm, one is forced to wonder.

Overall, vitamins or no vitamins, the book is a worthy read. I'd recommend it.

This fantastic book--no cliche--changed my life, especially the way I eat and how I see food, among other things.

Also I stopped using antipersperants like Sure which I had previously used for many years and later had my underarm itching (a WARNING signal). I developed a lump in one of my underarms as a result.

Dr Colbert is a lifesaver and his advice is so obvious and plain at times you're shocked!

I found this book to have such detailed information on subjects that most people know little or nothing about. I was surprised to read about all the things that hinder our health. After taking Dr Colbert's advice, my health improved.

This is a book that everyone needs to read, it could keep so many people from unecessary sickness that we cause upon ourselves and don't even realize it.

This is the best book I have ever read. My eyes were glued to every page. There is so much excellent information in this book about what to eat, what not to eat, weight lose,deadly chemicals in our homes and around our homes, and lot's more. This book is great! I really enjoyed it, it gave so much powerful information. I have changed the way I eat and the things I put into my house. I have learned to make household cleaners naturally homemade. Last but not least I have put Dr. Colbert's lessons to use and have lost 13 pounds in 6 weeks. All from the comfort of my home. Thanks DR.!!!

I was excited to read this book and find out there are answers that don't involve medications. He actually gives you the answers in the book. The explainations for our poor health is so true. He also supplies us with ways to correct the symptons and totally heal the problems. This book was a definite eye opener for me and I recommend this book to everyone. Even if you don't have problems this book is good because it shows you how to prevent them in the first place.

Colbert presents a good deal of useful information in one book. Some of his warnings are controversial. He believes that Alzheimer's disease is linked to aluminum in our diets. This is possible, but has never been proved. He discusses mercury in the amalgam of tooth fillings, and contends that pork is very high in toxins. He says that shellfish should be avoided because they are high in cadmium. Is this always true or only sometimes true?

Colbert discusses the importance of sufficient water consumption, and then extols the value of anti-oxidants, "live" vegetables (or, failing that, enzyme supplements), and fiber in the diet, etc. He warns of the dangers of excessive sugar, trans-fats, aspartame, and of many common household products. He believes that excessive body odor is related to toxins accumulating in the body as a result of infrequent bowel movements.

His advice is not limited to diet and the immediate environment. He points out the unhealthful consequences of anger and bitterness, along with the opposite effects of mirth. He relates health issues to Bible teachings.
