Your Colon: No Kooky Colon Cleanses - Dr. Shiya's Simple Way

Dr. Shinya's experience as a pioneering endoscopist and colonoscopist is LIFE-SAVING. He has given us a glimpse (literally) of the colon and how our daily diet and fluids passing through the colon make us well or make us sick. The small bowel and the colon are the highway for nutrient or toxic absorbtion to the rest of the body. He and his team have done over 370,000 endoscopic/coloscopic procedures and you can bet he has learned much about human health shedding light where "the sun don't shine". His statement that "...disease starts in the colon" was a big revelation to me and he tells us why. This is an invaluable read and I highly recommend it. You can also do a search for video clips by him on You Tube. BTW: I saw/heard Dr. Shinya play the Star-Spangled Banner on a harmonica.... he's quite a guy! C.S., 11/21/09.

The ULTIMATE healthy diet

You should take Dr. Shinya's advice because: (From the back flap of the Chinese edition:) Dr. Shinya: - Has never been sick for 45 years -- ever since he recovered from the flu when he was 19. - ALL of his cancer patients have 0% recurrence rate. - Throughout 45 years of his medical career, he has NEVER issued a death certificate - Invented the use of a colonoscope to remove polyps from the colon without abdominal incisions I have read the Chinese version of this book along with four other books that he wrote. Dr. Shinya gives a very detailed explanation of the "Shinya Diet", which composes of 50% whole grains, 30% vegetables and fruits, 5% soy products, and 15% animal products (mainly fish). He also insists on the importance of quality water, which can efficiently activate our enzymes, raise our metabolisms, and clease our bodies. Of all the "health" theories

The Enzyme Factor

Dr. Shinya's book "The Enzyme Factor" has made an astounding impact on my husband whose been taking pharmaceutical Nexium & Prilosec for 15 years to treat IBS. Although the drugs kept the reflux in check, he suffered many side effects including constant headaches, fatigue, and excessive weight gain. No matter what diet we tried, his weight remained the same or climbed. A month ago, we went to see a reliable herbalist whose suggestion was to stop taking the Rx treatment immediately and try a whole vinegar and water tonic for reflux. In addition, she suggested a regiment of herbs to cleanse the digestive tract and restore a balance. This information was a reiteration of Dr. Shinya's eating philosophy. Although we have been living it for a short 3 weeks, I can report 100% success at being completely Rx free. In addition, my husband weight began to drop within days. To date, he has shed 18 lbs. I can tell you after years of diets, this is truly a miracle. This weight is the sludge that his body has collected due to the drug induced imbalance of his digestive system. The headaches are gone, and his stamina has returned. I would recommend this book to anyone that wants to be healthy or wants to stay healthy for a lifetime. Since America's food resources are compromised unless you buy organic or home-grow, supplements are also essential. Go to a health food store to get something your body can breakdown and absorb. As Dr. Shinya says, most doctors respond to sickness. They don't prevent it. Your body can be healthy if you provide it with the right tools. Knowledge, good food and clean water are essential. Your body will do the rest.

A great book to learn how to live longer.

Although the Arthur, Dr. Shinya's other books are also well known in Japan, I had never paid attention to him before because I was young and didn't worried about my health. Now I'm in my 40's and even-though I have never really been sick myself yet, people around myself getting sick as you get older and made me think about my family and my-own health more seriously, so I read this book when my friend who is into "Go green" and organic products etc. recommended it. What Dr. Shinya tells you to eat might be too hard to follow for most American people, but he is a well respected MD in New York City, and he is not telling you to eat or take suspicious food or pills like you've seen. His diet is a sort of like Macrobiotic (No dairies, No animal proteins etc.). This book convinced me to give up most of the food I love and not only I've lost my weight, also I'm happier and getting more energy to do around the house and more patient with my 5 year old daughter. My biggest problem right now is to cook vegetarian meals that all of my family can enjoy. I want everybody I know to have a healthy, happy long lives, so I sent this book to all of my family and close friends as a valentine gift and they all enjoyed this book! Enjoy! (It's easy to read too)

Powerful new ideas

Interesting new ideas about the relationship of diet to health. The fact that what we eat can be determined by looking at the colon was amazing to me. Dr. Shinya has over forty years of experience examining both healthy and ill patients. He warns that most pharmaceuticals are damaging to the body and should be used only on a short term basis. Definitely a book to own and to follow.
