I can't help but be a bit skeptical of an author who has a line of books and products with 'Ultra-' in the name, and who has a website detailing the simple ways in which he has cured every illness in existence after all other doctors failed.

This has been my daily devotional, constant reminder, wealth of knowledge of what to eat and not to eat to feel better. Altough the recommended menues and recipies are a little too deep in organics, I take all the ideas of what to eat/not to eat that make sense for improvement and incorporate those ideas into my life.

Reading a couple of pages or a chapter a day during my weight loss journey has aided in losing 25 lbs over the last 2 years -- and during that time I have read this book 5 times and am reading now as a constant reminder of what I am supposed to be doing -- like meditation, it works! It also aided in bringing my sugar/glucose levels from 127 (which is diabetic) to 102 (which is beginer/borderline diabetic). Although the final advice of the book is nothing new-- eat fresh fruits and veggies, whole grains, lean meats and avoid all the chemical crap-- I did find the discussions about different chemical sensitivities and allergies to be helpful. I also appreciated that the author put a lot of emphasis on other health problems that people don't often associate with being overweight.
