Life Changing Information

This book was so informative and enlightening that I purchased an additional copy for my sister. We truly are "what we eat". If more people read this and apply it to their lives we will have much less dis-ease and negativity in the world. I highly recommend reading it!

The most comprehensive for its size.

I also consider the negative responses specious. Dr. Tombak's advice is both apposite and effective. Most people are not disciplined enough to follow all the advice in the book because it is replete with helpful information. However, if you glean only a handful of recommendations, such as "proper food combining" or "intestine cleansing," your body will thank you with better health and you will soon recommend this book to someone you care about. Today the focus is on disease prevention and limiting prescribed drugs. To the reader - I implore you - educate yourself! Many non-pharmaceutical remedies work, not all are quackery. It's possible to have modern medicine coexist with common sense prevention.

yes we can!! this is my title & dont let tv lie to you!

IM 43 and i was wondering how many people think im in my twenties and i being follow this believes mostly because my family comes from the Peruvian Jungle were most of the natural medicines comes from,but living in the modern system corrupts you and change alots of the old good habits we used to have but this book makes me realize the true of simple life that is BRILLIANT.

Don't Know What Happened

When I bought this book probably a year ago there was about 220 reviews, 95% of them were 4 and 5 stars, I don't know how the reviews got all screwed up. All in all, I'd say this is a great book; it's straightforward and easy to read. There's a lot of information on a lot of different types of diseases and health problems, and how a lot of different foods impact your health. I've read several books on health and fitness(ex. Living Foods for Optimum Health, Stu Mittleman's Slow Burn[Stu is a world-record breaking endurance athlete]) and damn near everything Tombak says coincides with what I've read previously. Some reviews claim he has no scientific backup, but it's kind of on the cover, next to his name, where it says "Ph.D." And in the book he goes into why he chose to study biology, anatomy and chemistry over a traditional medical school. I'd like to address some of the more idiotic negative reviews I've seen on here, because I think they're a misrepresentation of what you really find in this book. One person says the author recommends using birch twigs to brush your teeth, and he doesn't, he mentions a group of buddhist monks or something somwhere who did use birch twigs, all he does is tell you why they did it and offers a more practical alternative. Another reviewer talks of how "silly" it is that things about your health can be indicated by your eye color(iridology)...if you saw someone with a pale face or a rash on their skin, you'd be quick to assume they were unhealthy in some way, but the idea that health could possibly impact eye color?! Proposterous!! Anyway, be wary of the 1-star reviews, they all sound similar, one of them even posted a verbatim review of Tombak's other book. I can't vouch for the effectiveness of EVERY remedy in the book, but I have implemented a few, like nutrition timing and food combining(don't eat your carbs with your proteins). Before I had to stuff myself to feel full, and if I wasn't stuffed I was hungry, and I'd be tired after I ate. Now I rarely get tired after eating, food feels like it digests much faster, and though I don't still feel stuffed an hour later, I'm not hungry just because my stomach's empty; satisfied.

CHANGED MY LIFE

I posted a review 1 year ago and this is my update. I now call this book my health bible. EVERY SINGLE THING THE DR RECOMMENDS IN THIS BOOK HAS WORKED FOR ME and the family and friends I have helped with The Dr's remedies. I live every day by this book. My Mother has stage 4/metastised/terminal cancer, so I spend 2-3 hours a day reading medical journals, researching health & nutrition topics and every new direction has come full circle back to what is recommended in this book. The Dr. presents the solutions but doesn't explain why they work in great detail so you don't get bogged down you just get right to the results. My Mom is in far better health than she was a year ago - she still golfs! UNEDUCATED READERS think it's crap, they're WRONG. After researching like crazy for the last year the why's are now crystal clear. This is NOT mumbo jumbo! ALL OF IT is backed by loads of scientific evidence. Research who he is/his qualifications, then Buy it, Don't judge, Do what he says (none of it can hurt you), and you will see the results too. This former head of the Center for Health Sciences in Moscow will be my Doctor for life!
