God's Health Plan

This is a very knowledgeable book. The author has a respectable understanding of what it means for food to be Biblically Kosher and therefore clean and acceptable. I was pleasantly surprised. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to know what God wants them to eat (and not eat, of course), and to anyone who wants to incorporate Godly wisdom into their diet. After all, He made us, wouldn't He know what's best for us?

Arguably the best resource for human nutrition.

We bought the book after Dr. Tessler made a proper diagnosis of my wife's intermittant low-thyroid condition, something five specialists in three different states were unable to do. These specialists included an endocrinologist, three neurologists, and a general practitioner. Most of these had mistakenly identified her condition as Multiple Sclerosis.Combining a simple supplement with the Genesis Diet resulted in a near 100% improvment in her condition. To top it off, she's now pregnant, something we've been unable to achieve in six years of trying!Even so, I remained a scoffer, until my wife began feeding us both according to the Genesis Diet. As a result, I've found tremendous improvement myself, including greater energy, significant reduction in chronic joint pain, and a dissappearance of headaches which had plagued me from time to time.I'm convinced: We humans simply do NOT eat according to the way our bodies are designed to process food. Following the Genesis Diet has restored to our bodies the harmony of proper nutrition, much of which you simply won't find in any modern nutrition manual.

A simple to understand guide to eating healthy

This book was a easy read, but packed with information. I thought it was put together very well, with the different chapters put together in a way that I will be able to return to it often for reference. This is the first book that I have read in a long time that truly motivated me. Gordon Tessler is on track with his nutrition information. I liked it so much that I also read the Lazy Person's Guide to Nutrition.

A balanced perspective of healthy eating.

I have read many books on the subject of healthy eating, but only a few from a biblical perspective. Tessler's book is an excellant study on the importance of eating right for your health. Whether you read and believe the Bible or not the conclusions are the same as modern research is proving today. A healthy diet must have it's focus on plant foods and not animal-based foods. Tessler does a super job of proving this point from a biblical perspective. It is clear, conciseand easy to understand and is a great "starter"book for those interested in attaining or regaining superior health. For years and years I suffered many health problems. When I made similar changes to the ones mentioned in the book my problems went away. Truely, the diet as stated in Genesis 1:29 is a healthy one! God must have known what He was doing when He gave the original command! Check this one out if you care about your health and not being a statistic to heart disease, cancer or the myriad of other degenerative diseases that abound today!

Best book on eating according to God's plan I have found

This book was a God send. I had wanted to know what God's Word had to say about the way Christians should eat in order to maintain health. I wanted to know how to be disease and sickness free. Dr. Tessler has done a excellent and thorough job of searching the scriptures to reveal God's plan for health. He has also dealt with the hard to understand scriptures of the New Testament that seem to say Christians can eat anything and revealed the error of interpretation of modern day biblical scholars. This book is a must read for all who want to obey God and walk in the devine health that He intended for us.
