5.0 out of 5 stars
A must health referance for every Library, January 13, 2008
This review is from: Dr. Whitaker's Complete Guide to Natural Healing (Paperback)
(This is the book before Natural Cures)
I like this book because Dr. Julian Whitaker explains everything you need to be healthy. Most other books address on some of the problems and even then give you generalies on what to do. Dr. Whitaker give you the specifics for everything from what should be in you Multi Suppliment to what specific product with help you with high blood pressure. This the first on only book on natural healing.
All good health books should tell you to involve you health care provider on all descion regarding you your health weather it be drugs, surgeries, or natural paths. This is great advice and Dr. Whitaker is no different, giving you four warnis to check with you doctor and decuss thing with them before you get off you medication or start his program. You have to respect that. Your health is a partnership between doctor and patient.
Dr. Whitaker is a medical doctor who for years wondered why the path the most people took to health (drugs and surgery) we not getting patients well, they seemed to be better. This idea lead the good Doctor to leard and develop natural plans for for getting healthy and staying that way. He want long term result, not short term.
Understanding this, Dr Whitaker is on the for front of this movement toward health.
The book is separated into three separate parts.
Part 1 Real Healthcare Reform- theis discribes the problem with our healthcare system in the US (with our the parania) giving its problems, pitfall, and failings. Here he also gives his wellness program completing it in seven steps, which include;
Step 1: Adopt a healthy life style
Step 2: Become More Active
Step 3: Take a Muliple Supliment- Mineral Formula (he actually gives
you the formula that works best)
Step 4: Take extra antioxident Nutrients
Step 5: Take Magnesium and Potassium
Step 6: Take Omega 3 Oil Supplement
Step 7: Eat low fat, High complex carbohydrate diet.
Besides just giveing you the recomindations for this, he give you plenty of information as to what to take, how much, and why it is so go for you. This is a plus in my book.
Part 2 Building Optimal Health- Dr. Whitaker give practical advice on:
1. Enhancincing digestion and Elimination
2. Enhancing Detoxification
3. Enhancing Brain Power
4. Enhancing Adrenal Function
5. Enhancing Imune Function
6. Enhancing Weight Loss
Each are need for improving you health. I personally have not been sick and my health has been good since my first reading of the book.
Part 3 Specific Health Concerns- These are very specific down to product name and the proper dosages.
He explains the most popular deseases from Acne to Varicose Veins
in detail. This is my most used part of the book.
This book is great for any one who wants to get health, be healthy or stay healthy in a strait forward and concise manor. He explains everything including why somethings are bad and others are good with specific information. He does this with out being an alarmist or out of paranoia. Great for Beginner, expert, health care provider, student or patient.
This book remains planted on my desk, not my bookshelf for easy use. It is an invaluable tool in my health care needs from reducing Cholestrol to maintain good blood pressure, and reducing sugar level. I even give some of its information to friends and family.
Everyone should read this book BEFORE they see the doctor.
