FUNKY DOCTOR!

This book is subtitled: the Revolutionary Anti-Aging Program, and that it certainly is!Dr Smith is not shy to recommend optimal dosages of supplements (I hate over-cautious nutritionists) and he's a militant Vegan which limits his appeal somewhat, I guess.But I do think he's right in most respects. I also love his witty, engaging writing style, for example drawing analogies between the Great Wall of China and the cell membrane!He introduces concepts such as the New Four Food Groups and provides excellent advice on diet, dietary supplements, exercise and how to avoid toxins.In this book I have found the clearest description of free radicals and their nemesis, the anti-oxidants, as well as the most informative info on anti-aging hormones and the latest neuronutrients.The only flaw is that Renewal neglects the amino acids. Besides that, the book is highly readable and highly recommended, and includes recipes, meal ideas, a menu plan, thorough index and extensive bibliography....END

Thank you Dr. Smith

There is a lot of information in this book! It provides an easy to understand explanation of the free-radical theory of damage to our bodies. Dr. Smith's nutritional and supplement program are excellent, and his suggestions for implementing the program gradually and without struggle are very helpful. I am already feeling the benefit of better nutrition. Also, after several years on the SSRI antidepressants with side-effects which scare me to death, I am hopeful of developing a program using the natural hormones such as pregnenolone with the help of a naturapathic physician.

Excellent - Covers all aspects of Life Extension

I have read many books on Life Extension, starting with Durk Pearson & Sandy Shaw's book in 1983. This new book, "Renewal the Anti-Aging Revolution" covers all the aspects that I have encountered in books, magazines and on the web. It is totally comprehensive. This is the ONE to get.

This book has had a significant impact on my health.

In his book Dr. Smith put together essential information in one place at one time that influenced a complete dietary lifestyle change for myself and my husband. The mystery of complicated cellular chemistry is made simple and easy to understand. Further, I now understand what free radicals are and how they attack the body and what to do about them. The steps to good health choices outlined by Dr. Smith are do-able; we have done them and are already reaping the rewards. This book makes you stop, think and act. It is very readable and will be an ongoing reference in our home for years and years to come. This is not a diet book, it is a lifestyle choice that makes ulitmate sense and provides almost immediate positive benefits. The recipes that get you started on the lifestyle changes are great and provide encouragement for further vegan creativity. Thank you, Dr. Smith!

Renewal offers hope for a disease free retirement.

As a patient, of Tim Smith's, I have utilized his ideas for several years now and have seen the results. His ideas cured my chronic headaches, removed the cholesterol issue from my life and has made me feel better, stronger, happier. I am glad to see him share his knowledge with the world. I have read his book in manuscript form but now am enjoying the material in an easy to read format. I am especially glad to see the receipes in the book because when you adopt his approach to food, at first it is daunting. Giving up some of your favorite foods is difficult until you develop, or find in his book, receipes that create nutritious new ways to eat. As you can tell, I highly recommend this book.Larry Hayden
