Anyhow, this book is hilarious. I have never read something as absolutely bonkers as this, and there were many nights where I was laughing out loud, sometimes to the point of tears. Some of it will stick with you -- the demon the size of France, "happy-lucky feeling", "at your peril", and rotating the vortexes of your body, just to name a few. I wonder what the author’s family life is like. Can you imagine the dinner-table conversations? "Okasa-sama, why is odusa-sama behaving that way?" "Never mind him, dear. He's just judge-controlling the garden hose to obtain happy-lucky feeling."
I gave it only four stars because the book does repeat passages a bit, especially towards the end. I wonder if Mr. Nishigaki ran out of content, or what? The crazy thing is that there is some common sense buried in here past all of the weirdo visions and delusions. The problem is that the author just has no ability to emphasize or filter his thoughts. He just adds everything together and interprets what he reads however he wants to. His take on repentance is incredibly off, for instance.
Like others have said, don't buy this book to learn anything about health. Buy it to laugh. If you do that, and you enjoy stuff that is far beyond Monty Python-style humor, just out-and-out weirdness (that is probably drug-induced as far as I can tell), this book is for you.
Now, I can't say that the author's advice actually works, but it does help with depression. Read a random page and start laughing. As they say, laughter is the best medicine.
Having been a student of bad grammar and compositional ineptitude since I first found the works of Pedro Carolino, I was compelled to read this book, and I was not disappointed. In this book you will find an appalling lack of respect for the English language, a zero coherence quotient and delicately turned phrases that would be impossible for a lesser astral being than Mr. Nishigaki. If you delight in all such inept manifestations you will love this book.
That isn't the only reason to be fond of the book, though. The entire premise of the book is absolutely ridiculous. Basically his premise boils down to this: the key to health, happiness, and a long life is to have six bowel movements a day, to dent your navel 100 times a day, and to constrict your anus 100 times a day, or in the words of Mr. Nishigaki: " Denting navel and constricting anus 100 times everyday is the most effective to make the fire burn from within." (It works for me!)
If you enjoy the truly outlandish, this is an excellent place to start.
(If you enjoyed the text of this review and are hungry for more, featuring discussion of your "immaterial fiber" and "big black excrement", buy this book! You won't be disappointed.)
