Have You Revolutionized Your Health Today?

According to Paul Zane Pilzer, the next new Trillion Dollar Trend is Health and Wellness. Paul does a brilliant job explaining what this phenomenon is and more importantly "Why" it is taking place. At the time this book came out, health and wellness was already a $200 billion dollar industry. It's now more than double that! Paul talks about the opportunities that are available for entrepreneurs, investors and distributors. After each chapter, he has a list of insightful, thought-provoking questions that you should ask yourself before pursuing any opportunity in this industry. What I didn't expect from this book is that it actually gave some sound health advice too! For example, on Page 64 he states that as a preventative measure, drinking 5 glasses of water each day decreases the risk of colon cancer by 45 percent, the risk of breast cancer by 79 percent, and the risk of bladder cancer by 50 percent! Now, I drink that much if not more, but I had no idea how beneficial drinking water (assuming it's filtered and/or purified) can be! In another example he talks about it the danger of drinking cow's milk on Page 81. Did you know that the difference between "low-fat or 2% milk" verses regular whole milk is only 1%?!! Whole milk contains 3% fat by weight. I had no clue. He also states that contrary to popular opinion, drinking milk actually CAUSES osteoporosis as well as allergies, gas, constipation, obesity, cancer, heart disease and a host of other infectious diseases. Even better, he talks about a much healthier alternative to cow's milk. Anyone who is passionate about health and wellness and who has a desire to build wealth would greatly benefit from reading this book. It was such an easy-to-read, informative and inspirational book, that I finished reading it in 2 days! It validated the decision that I had already made to pursue opportunities in health and wellness. Now, I don't normally give a lot of 5 star ratings, but Paul Zane Pilzer truly earned it with this book!

The truth at last...

If you only read the first 40 pages of this book, you will get the point. The solution to our "health crisis" is so simple that we are missing it completely. It is NOT better drugs, more testing, more doctors, higher insurance premiums, etc. The solution is taking personal responsibility for eating low on the food chain, and looking for business opportunities which enhance health rather than degrade it. We've been living that lifestyle since 1972, and it works. We are in our mid-50's and healthy, trim, fit, and we love every day because we know that we may reach out to touch the lives and health of people in the spirit and practice of prevention and wellness. Great job, Paul Pilzer, in telling the truth about the economics of sick care vs. Health Care!

The wellness revolution

Upon reading this book I become more aware about what I can do to increase my wealth and health as well as help others do the same. Some of the knowledge obtained from this book is disturbing but necessary if we as a race are to evolve and care for each other in a holistic way. Many thought provoking ideas should send your mind on a journey you will not regret. Knowledge truly is power.

A must if you're interested in financial issues

The Wellness Revolution really is a revolution in itself. The knowledge that Paul Zane Pilzer expose and share is no less than mindblowing. Incredible that he has a capacity to look into so many areas of society. His sharp analysis are so inspirering. Where it is easy to be stucked and feel the pressure of pessimism, he opens totally new doors to see the progress instead. This book is a must for anyone interested in how society develops and interested in creating a strong financial situaition for oneself and society.

HEADS UP ENTREPRENEURS!

I loved this book! It gives great insight on the next huge industry and ways that entrepreneurs can cash in. If you're looking for a great business idea or information on how the world will change, get this book. You won't be disappointed. I was surprised at the negative reviews. I'm thinking that those people probably can't read. This is a great book.
