About the author

“Decades ago, as a pre-med major working my way through college, I hurt my back digging ditches. I visited a doctor who prescribed me with an opioid medication. I didn’t take the drug but this brought about a change of heart regarding my career in medicine. I decided against prescribing drugs and sought an alternative path. During college and afterwards, I got involved in the food business, working at farms, kitchens, and eventually management in the organic food and herbal supplement businesses. I also continued my natural health studies, and eventually completed a Doctorate in Integrative Health Sciences (D.Sc.), and a Ph.D. in Natural Health Sciences. I received diplomas in Naturopathy, Homeopathy, Aromatherapy, Bach Flower Remedies, Colon Hydrotherapy, Blood Chemistry, Clinical Nutritional Counseling, and certificates in Pain Management and Contact Tracing-Case Management along the way. During my practicum/internships, I was fortunate to be mentored and trained by leading holistic M.D.s, D.O.s, N.D.s, acupuncturists, physical therapists, herbalists and massage therapists, working with them at their clinics. I also did grand rounds at a local hospital and assisted in pain treatments. I was board certified as an Alternative Medical Practitioner and practiced for several years at a local medical clinic advising patients on natural therapies.
“My journey into writing about alternative medicine began about 9:30 one evening after I finished with a patient at the clinic I practiced at over a decade ago. I had just spent two hours showing how improving diet, sleep and other lifestyle choices, and using selected herbal medicines with other natural strategies can help our bodies heal themselves. As I drove home that night, I realized the need to get this knowledge out to more people. So I began writing about natural health with a mission to reach those who desperately need this information and are not getting it in mainstream media. The health strategies in my books and articles are backed by scientific evidence combined with traditional wisdom handed down through natural medicines for thousands of years.
I am hoping to accomplish my mission as a young boy to help people. I am continuously learning and renewing my knowledge. I know my writing can sometimes be a bit scientific, but I am working to improve this. Still I hope this approach also provides the clearest form of evidence that natural healing strategies are not unsubstantiated anecdotal claims. Natural health strategies, when done right, can be safer and more effective than many conventional treatments, with centuries of proven safety. This is why most pharmaceuticals are based on compounds from plants or other natural elements. I hope you will help support my mission and read some of my writings. They were written with love, yet based on science. Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have.”

I also recommend looking over his other books, also full of useful info for better health.
If you are just learning about health, then this is a great read, but for me it just rehashed everything I had read. He does lots of research and sites the study to back it up.
The book is gauged for readers without a deep understanding of either chemistry or biology, fair enough!
However, anybody with a PhD training should know better in writing professionally, proofreading, and checking for facts - especially when it is a piece to be published. I am extremely annoyed by the fact that the author did not show the due diligence in all that. I will only show three examples here. Locations are given in the Kindle version.
1. Location 326/6261, it reads "They all have particularly large molecular sizes.", which refer to the list of compounds on the previous page, including mannitol and lactulose among others. Mannitol and lactulose are mono- and disaccharides, respectively. In what sense do they constitute "particularly large molecular sizes"?
2. At the same location, it reads "alcohol-sugar combination..." which refer to compounds such as mannitol and lactulose. There is no such compounds as "alcohol-sugar combination", they are sugar, or more scientifically carbohydrate. Pure and simple!
3. Location 334/6261, it reads "The researcher feeds ... two separate vials to the subject...". How in the world can we feed a vial (Eppendoff or what?) to a human subject?
It really is annoying that some authors use (or misuse their credential) to inaccurately communicate.
An annoyed reader/professor.
