Great recipes Jun 29, 2009 A lot of handy information. The artwork and "jokes" are a little kitsch. The recipes in the back are very good, and actually tells you how that benefit your health.

So Comprehensive, I Sold My Other Books on EBAY! Feb 21, 2009 First of all, let me say that I have been unhealthy for 15 years. I'm only 33 so that's sad and ridiculous. I bought this book after seeing it on the Oprah show. I'm the definition of skeptical but I thought what the hay. After reading this book, I took the first step of calling my doctor and setting up a blood serum test. The tests were frightening. Where do I begin?
I had diabetes, was anemic, had a serious Vitamin D deficiency (only 17) , high blood pressure (143/93) , elevated liver enzymes (92) (fatty) liver and was 126 lbs. overweight. I just cried. I immediately began some of the suggestions in the book and followed the diet offered in the back of the book. I replaced my bacon and eggs in the morning with steel-cut oatmeal, milk and fruit. I haven't eaten red meat in three months. I only drink milk, decaf coffee, water, and occasionally a diet soda. I eat nuts everyday and fish at least three times a week. I feel like a new person. So the results? I started doing all this on Jan. 4 (My New Years's Resolution). I'm 33 lbs. lighter, off ALL my medications, I'm no longer anemic, Vitamin D deficient, and I'm down from a size 22/24 to an 18.
I personally wrote Dr. Oz and Dr. Roizen because I have never been able to understand how what I eat and supplements I take affect my body. This book is so SIMPLE and I love the whimsy illustrations and simple explanations. I finally understand what to look for in a multivitamin, what my liver does, why Omega-3 is SO important, and foods that repair and restore the body.
I'm a changed person FOREVER and I'm not looking back!!!
