Methyl Magic: Maximum Health Through Methylation

by Craig Cooney, Bill Lawren, Kilmer S. McCully

Book Overview

Methyl Magic presents a set of simple, understandable, and ready-to-use guidelines -- that can be used by both_ men and women of all ages -- to regulate their methyl metabolism. Methylation takes place in our bodies more than a million times a second as one molecule passes a methyl group (a carbon atom linked to three hydrogen atoms) to another. Methylation is like a control dial, the setting can either make you sick in a variety of ways, or keep...

Methylation is the key

Like the previous 4 reviewers, I believe this book to be the most comprehensive and succinct text on the methylation process that occurs in your body and the needed diet and supplements that will enhance this process. I first read about this book at a site where I purchase my own supplements, iHerb. They have always given me dependable information (which I often double check via other sites) as well as dependable service and products. But back to Cooney's book. Methyl Magic isn't really a magic trick. He explains the process of methylation and how that is important to your overall health. Cooney knows his stuff.

methyl magic

i gave this book 5 stars rank, but i do have a little comment that i will give it to you later. this topic is a very important to know both for therapists, and the general public, because it is explaining how the molecules of our body are feeding themselves, and what is the role of specific nutrients in the very much importent role of methylation in the body.it is also explain the roll of homocysteine in a basic, plus the advanced stages through proper methylatin. my little comment is that vitamin c in a dose of at least a few grams a day - wil increase the nutrients of methylation that discused and described in this book.you probably wonder what am i talking about?,then buy and read that book and you will understand. except from that it is a superb book that is explaining a very important issue that the public should know about it.

A straightforward biology class for the masses!

Dr. Cooney has written a book covering in-depth human physiology in a manner that is easy to read and understand by the average person. While some may think Cooney's information is a rehash of current nutritional thinking, it is another side of the perspective to healthy living. In essence, it dovetails nicely with what the other "experts" are saying. Cooney's perspective brings forth the operational aspect of exactly what is happening inside the human body in a down to earth way. It's a sort of biology class for the masses that not only makes sense, but helps everyone to make lifestyle choices that can benefit everyone from day one.

Methylation should be the next word on the street!

Old vitamins get a breath of fresh air in this compelling book on nutrition. If you need to be motivated to eat right and take vitamins, this will do it. It presents the B-vitamins and more in a newly publicized theory called methylation. Bill Lawren has managed to move from the "feel good" stuff of the "Zone" (Barry Sears) to the science of "Methyl Magic" (Craig Cooney) without losing a beat. The new diagnostic tests to verify the results of the program are a very nice touch. The only criticism is with the title: Considering that Dr. Cooney lays out how methylation acts -- it hardly seems magical by the end of the book! In the end, however, Dr. Cooney documents many studies which show that his program is destined to reduce the incidence of all the major killers.. I just don't know why this is not major news.

A must read for the health enthusiast

I commend Dr. Cooney for taking the time to inform the public about how important optimum methylation is to our everyday well-being and how it affects our general aging process. He has succeeded in explaining a rather complicated biochemical process in understandable terms. Many people are aware of the dangers of high plasma homocysteine, but few people outside of academia have been exposed to the other metabolic problems poor methylation creates. I have been practicing commercial animal nutrition for nearly 20 years and have been aware of the power diets formulated for optimum methylation have on general animal health and well-being. Thanks to Dr. Cooney, humans may now benefit from this knowledge. Anyone interested in improving their health should read this book.
