5.0 out of 5 stars It cured us!!!, October 27, 1999

By A Customer

After being diagnosed with Alopecia Areata and being told there was no known cause or cure I read this book. After adopting the diet and supplements recommended in this book the Alopecia left and has not recurred. Not to mention several other wonderful health benefits (more energy, loss of weight, peace of mind). A must for everyone, don't be fooled by the food industry or the other dollar makers that don't want you to know the truth. Many people think they are eating healthy by consuming chicken and low-fat foods, but this isn't so. Read this book and save yourself!

5.0 out of 5 stars You are most definitely what you eat - a must read!, December 14, 1996

By A Customer

Dr. Colgan does a great job explaining in layman's terms the importance of nutritional suplements as a survival mechanism to combat the absence of an adequate diet. He points out the lack of critical vitamins and minerals in the food we eat due to soil depletion, pollution, and the use of chemical fertilizers. He is not bashful about indicting the National Institute of Health and American Cancer Society for duping the American public about their level of nutrition and health. The American Cancer Society's trading the word cure rate to survival rate has fooled most of us. Naturally with all the sophisticated technology at our disposal, we are detecting the presence of cancer sooner - so it follows that people are "surviving" longer. There's no talk about the cure rate at all. Dr. Colgan, while sometimes brash, is refreshingly candid about how we can all take better care of ourselves through the use of nutritional supplements added to our diets that are woefully lacking the substances required for optimal health

5.0 out of 5 stars A fundamental and informative guide to optimal haealth., March 14, 1999

By A Customer

This book is a must to own. It is full of important information regarding the need for well-balanced diets, and the lack of proper nutritional supplementation most of our daily fods lack. Our bodies are truly amazing and serve as our temples for life. The need to properly feed our systems comes from our minds. As a registered Health Care worker, I feel it is very necessary to keep on top of nutrition and offer that info to everyone in a clear and easy to understand manner. Dr. Colgan speaks of great truths and is easy to understand,We only have one body and we must find a way to provide ourselves with the best possible path for our lifetime. Read it soon it is never too late!Kerri BarnettNationally Certified Medical AssistantNationally Certified Phlebotomist
