5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent proof for raw diet promoters, November 27, 1997

By	[e-mail] (Australia) - See all my reviews

This book takes the view that the human body is totally dependant on Enzymes for health and longevity. Whilst not rejecting orthodox nutritional principles it concludes that the body utilises food enzymes for digestion and converts spare enzymes for the 1001 other metabolic processes our body undergoes each day. Dr Howell establishes through copious(!) references tot he literature that our body has a limited capacity to store and produce enzymes and that cooking food effectively destroys the enzyme content of foods. He reaches the conclusion that the Western Diet of cooked and processed food substains us for only so long and begins to poison us from a fairly early age. Being a non-medical person I couldn't challenge any part of this book and would recommend it unreservedly to anyone looking to research the area of natural nutritition and medicine.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not for the average reader, October 14, 1999

By A Customer

This book has a lot of good information, but it reads like a research paper (which it was origionally, I think). Unless you're doing a research paper, there might me more helpful books to buy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another excellent find, March 22, 2005

By	Ben (Iowa) - See all my reviews

Unfortunately, these amazing books are not the easiest to find. I believe this is another book in my list of the most important books of today. Two others I believe in are Natural Cures by Kevin Trudeau and Why Stomach Acid Is Good For You. These books changed my family, literally. If you care about yourself, you owe it to yourself to read these books.
