The Most Important Book in your Life

My sister bought me this book, right after I had some heart palpitations and was admitted to a hospital. I read the book THREE times! Dr. Cooke verifies what I already know and believe and gave me many more additional insights as well.But does it work? I applied Dr. Cooke's principles and after only six weeks I saw major results, confirmed by my cardiologist, as well as with blood tests. Needless to say I bought 15 copies of the book and gave one to each of my family as presents. I will also buy more for my best friends.This book truly saved my life.

honest doctor

It is not often that a Doctor writes so honestly. I love the recommendation to utilize diet and medication before resorting to invasive treatment.Dr. Cooke has researched a timely and relevant field. He has the good sense to enlist assistance in articulating his research to the public in such an honest and straightforward manner.He is a credit to his field of "The Youngest Science" as Dr. Lewis Thomas called it.
