This is an excelent book to read
If you want to know what is really happening with big drug companies,
Don't Waste Your Money
I was turned off immediately after reading pages and pages of "I'm not a crook" testimony by the author--his explanation of his felony convictions--elaborations on why the FTC brought charges against him. I kept wondering, when does he get to the natural cures?Eventually, he mentions a few, scantly--then refers you to his website for more information.When you enter the website, it offers information on natural cures for an additional registration fee. Outrageous!This horse's track record speaks for itself.

all in one eye-opening cures
Many of Kevin's thoughts and ideas are what we know intuitively deep down inside.Money feeds greed which feeds corruption.The government falls into power and uses money to feed that power - the government as an entitiy does not have each individual's best interest at heart.American's are the most unhealthy nation in the world.We are like sheep to ads and the government and doctors.We as Americans need to realize that we are the government and doctor's customers. The money (which feeds the power) comes from our paychecks!!!

Priceless
Most people who give this book negative ratings are just plain ignorant or cheap morons. The guy has done a ton of research to bring us this kind of information and he risks his life to expose the scumbag ripoffs in the food and drug industry. This book just shows how we Americans are brainwashed, tamed sheep, swollowing what we're given. Most of American food is sick and the sickness passes onto people. The milk you drink is filled with pesticides and growth hormones and even though all the scientists will say it doesn't have any effect on people, they're lying, why?because they'll get sued. That's right, there is no freedom of speech, even doctors have to watch their mouth. The fact is that the growth hormones and pesticides do transform into your body. Just why do you think the Canadians refused to feed their cows growth hormones?because they know what the effects are but us Americans, we're ignorant and lazy and we don't care. That is our attitude.So here's a guy that sheds some truth on what's going on in the food/drug industry and there's still morons who will badmouth him for doing so or some idiots who thought they'll pick up this book and all their problems will be solved. It makes me mad that there's such people out there who can misinterpret a book so badly.The guy never says you should get off your prescription drugs or try natural remedies before consulting with your doctor, it is written on the very first pages for crying out loud yet people come on here and write ridiculous reviews.Again, these must be the lazy couch potatoes who think picking up a book will cure their illness. No, you need to get off your butt on this one. If you want to be spoonfed pills, continue with your local pharmacy. I could go on forever how great this book is but I'll just say, ignore all the idiotic negative reviews and get this book and follow what it says,it's probably the best thing you can do for yourself. It's worth it's weight in gold.

This Book Was A Waste of Money!
This book was just terrible.This guy is paranoid and he thinks everything is a conspiracy.Just hog wash-Don't waist your money!

A Re-Directory for information
What little information this book tells you about those "natural cures" are already common knowledge. It goes on and on, ad nauseum, about corruption. If you want more information about certain alleged cures, the book tells you to go to certain websites, and when you get there, you have to pay. It's like buying a cookbook that hardly has any recipes, and telling you that you have to go online and pay up front. What's the point of buying the book if it only has a few recipes? ... Read more

It Works
I have found similar books to be disappointing. This is a very large book with a lot of information that allows you to tailor treatments for you and your family. I have owned the book for about a year and have yet to find an ailment that wasn't covered.
WOW!!!
This book is VERY detailed yet NOT boring. It is very well arranged and the explanations given are concise and easily understandable.This is definitely a must for the library of anyone who is interested in this art!

Fabulous

No question that it works.
I found this book after googling a bunch of different things, and came across these reviews.Lots of good reviews, a few negative ones.Well, I noticed that all the negative ones were either people who hadn't actually tried it or people who didn't really stick with it.You can't rate a book negatively if you don't follow the program.
Excellent book!!!
I highly recommend this book, it works and it's the BEST.Even though I hadn't followed most of the recommendations like the enemas and baths it still worked for me just due to the diet change.What I would suggest also is to try to personalize it more, by finding out what works for you with diet.. mostly concerning laxatives, as for me most of them perscribed didnt' work (I guess my system is quite hard) so I explored around and found out that for me things like fresh papaya, dry figs, dates, eggs, and moloukhia (a green spinach like plant popular in the middle east) also other foods that are cleansing and remove toxins are good to increase, then decreasing the starches and adding more fruits, veggies and such foods into the diet really works.
WHAT A HORRIBLE TRICK!
For years now, my best friend and ex-boyfriend of almost four years has been suffering from severe psorasis, as well as psoriatic arthritis.He had been through several doctors and has tried multiple kinds of treatments, ranging from with or without a combination of photolight therapy, sun and water therapy, topical treatments, and systemics (Methotrexate, Soriatane, etc).A few months ago, I discovered Dr. Pagano's book and shared this information with him.After having read the book, he decided to really dedicate himself to the diet and everything Dr. Pagano had stated in the book, such as the monthly visits to Dr. Pagano, the olive oil, the flaxseed oil pills, the peanut oil baths, the 50/50 combination of the peanut oil and olive oil, etc.For a few weeks only, it worked wonderfully.It seemed to be working for him, but after those few weeks, he broke out.Dr. Pagano had stated that he would have a break out before it would get better because the "toxins" were trying to leave the body, but after his psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis kept getting worse, Dr. Pagano finally told him that he would have to go back on phototherapy and systemics (Methotrexate).For a little over two months, because of this diet, he had the worst break out ever.He literally broke out all over his body, even on his face and neck!I truly believe that this diet would work for those that are only suffering from mild to moderate psoriasis, but for those suffering from severe psoriasis, I suggest that you beware!If you see yourself breaking out too much and for too long of a period, maybe you should try a different treatment. ...

Very user friendly energy tips
I bought this kit on the recommendation of other reviews - always wonder if they are genuine.They were very accurate.This is a great package.I am a tactile therapist and use energy within my treatments.These dvd, book, cards and cd present many energy techniques in a simple and accessible format.Great to use for myself and I have been passing on some techniques to clients already.I am very happy with my purchase.

Tried it and WOWit worked for me
This kit arrived for my birthday and I used the cut-glass crystal as instructed and could really feel and even see the interaction of the spinning crystal with my finger energy. I could feel tingling in my meridians and more energy. The crystal is not used as a pendulum but is twisted to make it spin over key areas.Really very intriguing and effective.Then I had to do other things and got in at 10 pm.Thought I would watch the DVD.Did the exercises along with the DVD.Then thought I'd do some internet research. Got up to stretch and thought the clock must have stopped.It was 4 am and I didn't feel tired at all!I was so energized that Ihardly slept even when I got to bed.Had to get up at 8 am so thought, well, I'll do the exercizes I learned to help me through the day since I didn't sleep hardly at all.I had a great day and was extremely energetic.People commented.And I am a person who is tired all the time and gets sick from missing sleep! I love this stuff and am amazed how incredibly well it worked! But in the future I will certainly be more careful about charging up before going to bed!
A Must-Have!
I use and teach these energy exercises to all my energy therapy (Emotional Freedom Technique) clients and, of course, myself daily. This kit has valuable tools. Anyone who is interested in energy and/or emotional healing should have this. I highly recommend it! ... Read more

a reference for family health
Its a good companion to ''encyclopedia of natural medicine''by same author.By the time natural medicine take attention of puplic health, we need this kind of good resourses..ty

Great Resource!
I have searched long and hard for a reference book and this was a great resource.I have read many books on nutritional supplementation and have studied nutrition for many years.This book has a lot of good information in it.What I found though is you must continue to research and keep education yourself with supplemental information.I found another great resource on Inner Health that was very impressive at librarydepot.comIt contained a Nutrition Benefits Chart that is unlike anything on the market.It links nutritional support needed to many diseases/disorders.

ABSOLUTELY WORTH EVERY PENNY!!!
This is a book you will use. this is a book you will want your doctor to read, preferably own. It will take the person who is not familiar w/ many alternative care methods and supplements and "baby step" you you through them w/out dumbing anything down or being tedious.

Patient Watch Thyself And Thy Wallet!
I have nothing really against Jordan Rubin and this book. What it offers is common sense natural medicine. Nothing in this book is really a revelation or surprising. Most or if not all of the information can be found in other publications as is really nothing more than a compilation of other resources. The big issue here is Mr. Rubin's claims and other peoples claims of being "cured" or "healed" by chronic diseases. This is simply wrong, incorrect, inaccurate, and ignorant to say. Sure Mr. Rubin wants you to use his Garden Of Life products. They aren't cheap either. But to say that you will be "healed" or "cured"? These "products" just suppress the symptoms, which is great! But that should not make you stray away from seeing a medical doctor. Just because you used to have a diesase say like Diabetes does not mean it was cured. Ulcerative Colitis and Crohn Disease are the same way. They are always there. If people actually think that these diseases can be cured by Garden Of Life products they are gullible, sad, lost people. Using this system in conjunction with a doctor is the best way. I know some people despise doctors and are willing to shell out a lot of money for Garden Of Life products INSTEAD of seeing a doctor and that is just plain stupid. Wake up people.

"A Miracle"
Every library must have a copy of this book! Truely phenomenal and a life saver. Never before revealed facts. You have to read it-to believe it. A real education, based on reality and truth.

Lives up to it's title and then some.
Yes this is a marketing book, Mr. Rubin is a master marketer, and the products are expensive. I don't use his other products but Primal Defense is an incredible product that truly works for chronic disease where everything else fails. It's widely known among alternative medicine practitioners that Candida yeast overgrowth is a primary cause of many modern day diseases. About 100 million Americans are thought to be affected by this overgrowth, caused by antibiotics, drinking, bathing, and smimming in chlorinated water, eating a lot of sugar/starch, etc. It's also widely known now that Primal Defense will cure Candida. I have several friends who have cured this problem where everything else failed. Jordan didn't even mention Candida as far as I can remember, but he mentions bad bacteria numerous times saying that we should have 85% good bacteria in the gut, but that the average American has 15% good. I have become convinced that Candida was the cause of my severe ulcerative colitis. I've been on the Specific Carbohydrate Diet for a while, which was definately necessary, and eating a lot of coconut and coconut oil, a great yeast and other bad bacteria fighter. I still was not able to maintain remission without medication, and I still had symptoms of Candida (itchy anus and sinus among others). I took round after round of anti-candida herbs with minimal results. The Primal Defense therapy has cleared up all the problems that have been plaguing me, and I look and feel younger, and have abundant energy to go full steam 17 hours a day. I was paying about $55 for 180 capsules with free shipping, a 30 day supply. Now there is Primal Defense Ultra in 90 capsules available, which is twice as potent, so 3 capsules a day are taken. I buy this for about $35 a bottle with free shipping so that's my monthly expense now. Eventually I can taper down to a lower dosage when my digestive system is completely restored. I think this is a fair price for an intensive dosage supply, and though some of the other products are high priced, they are prescribed by many alternative health professionals because they work. Jordan also suggested the use of a shower filter, I found what I think is the best; Vitashower, which uses vitamin C to naturally dechlorinate water. Now I don't have to worry about my body absorbing about 8 glasses of water worth of chlorine with a typical hot shower. Jordan asked God for a cure for his Crohns disease and was answered. I asked God for a cure and it was shown me starting with this book. ... Read more

Great Reference on obtaining and maintaining good health
Dr. Weil has a rare outlook that you wish all health practitioners had. Specifically, he tries to take the best from traditional and natural medicine to help patients get and stay well instead of picking one of the two sides and calling the other side evil.
The bible for how to maintain optimum health and treat common ailments
This review is written by a former hospital administrator of just under 2 decades. I have been studying health and nutrition for more than decade. I became very interested in alternative medicine when a family member was diagnosed with kidney cancer and the allopathic doctors (traditional MD's) could give no reason for the tumor.
Easy to Read Reference Book
I am very interested in medicine and the human body, especially non invasive methods of self-care. Dr. Weil has a very practical, personable manner and explains his reasoning well. He has some rather radical thoughts on chocolate, caffeine, and sex, but he presents these ideas about substance addiction and the effects on your body in such a rational way that you don't notice it's dramatic. I was also able to read this straight through, which is kind of amazing for a reference book.

Perfect sight---your birthright!
'Relearning to See' is the largest and most comprehensive book ever written on the Bates Method of Natural Eyesight Improvement Re-Education. The author has taught Natural Eyesight Improvement and Teacher Training classes since 1983. He has recently relocated from San Francisco to the Natural Vision Center in Ashland, Oregon. RTS contains the pioneering work of ophthalmologist William H. Bates, MD. This educational program is *not* about eye exercises---a common misconception of the Bates Method. The most important contribution of RTS is that it concisely describes the 3 principles and 3 habits of natural vision. Yet each principle and habit is thoroughly explained, since all of them are necessary for normal, clear sight. RTS is a 521-page tome containing 60 color plates, over 150 illustrations and eye charts, (not a small booklet like most other books written on this topic), and contains information on how to improve nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, presbyopia, strabismus (e.g. crossed-eye), amblyopia (lazy-eye), and many other vision problems. Even many serious eye problems have improved with this educational program. RTS covers reading, driving, using a computer, in nighttime vision, flying, light tolerance, artificial lighting and many other topics. Glasses are an artificial crutch, and contact lenses are foreign objects. Both tend to reinforce strained vision habits and make your eyesight worse. RTS educates you about lenses and prescriptions so you can go to your eye doctor and get legal, safe, reduced-power glasses while you are improving your eyesight. One of the most interesting and valuable chapters is called 'Brains and Vision,' where the author presents a larger perspective on the Bates Method using the modern right brain/left brain model. Bates stated that vision is primarily mental. The sections on left-brain myopes versus right-brain farsights are quite revealing. There are many mental and vision quality benefits to improving eyesight naturally, including memory, concentration, imagination, creativity, color perception, depth perception, contrast and texture awareness. While Dr. Bates did make some errors, his *solutions* of re-establishing correct vision habits are flawless---because they are created by nature. Read Chapter 1, Chapters 2-4 if you have been wearing glasses or contacts; then jump to Chapters 9+ and get started with natural vision principles and habits.
Relearning to See:Improve Your Eyesight - Naturally!
Fantastic book! I have been wearing glasses since 1970, but since reading this book and practicing the principles explained within it, I doubt I will have to continue wearing glasses much longer.After only one month, I have noticed a definite improvement in my eyesight -- glasses which were once too weak for me are now almost too strong!

Amazing non-allopathic approach to healing vision
I tried this for 9 days while on vacation and I was amazed by the results. All of the bad vision habits that Dr. William H. Bates discovered I had. After a few days practice, I was having "flashes" of perfect vision discussed in the book. I was seeing details like leaves on trees rather than a big amorphous blob of green.

Digestive issues? Read on...
I thought this book was really helpful for those who are stuggling with their weight or have digestive issues but are unclear why.
Caveat Emptor
I read this book, and found it to pretty much be a rehash of ideas and theories that have been around the internet and "hypochondriac" community for a while (I say hypochondriac community because that's how most doctors treat us and we're left to go find our own solutions).
Easy, useful reference
The book recaps material from other authors,such as Sherry Rogers, M.D. and other experts, in a handy and straight forward way. Having read numerous more complicated books while struggling with fatigue and brain fog, this one was a breath of fresh air (pun intended). It also has significant original material that I had not read elsewhere. All in all, an excellent read. ... Read more

I love this book!
This is book on health, but it is written like a story book--filled with cases of hope and healing. It covers all aspects of altenative medicine, from nutrition to mind body medicine. I simply loved it and recommend it highly.
Healing yourself
Last year after`experiencing extreme pain in back, shoulder, and arm muscles, I puchased Spontaneous Healing, Healthy Aging, and Natural Health Natural Medicine.I wanted to discontinue the use of the drugs I was using to control the pain. I intended to heal instead. Spontaneous Healing gave me information about foods, vitamins, and supplements that enhanced the body naturally. Dr. Weil gives advice on avoiding toxins and reducing stress.I highly recommend this book and his others for natural methods that people can use to change their life-syles, manage illness, and alleviate stress to increase healing potential.

Inspiring stories, but lots of redundancy with his other work
Everyone knows who Andrew Weil is and he has certainly made a splash in the area of integrative medicine.As a Harvard trained physician, he has added enormous credibility to alternative treatments.This is a major contribution to the field of healing.

Disappointing.
Positives about this book is that, unlike other books which offer "cure", nowhere does Null states or implies that the book is intended to cure or eliminate any sort of disease or illness, besides that aspect, the book is largely disappointing. Unfortunately much of the information contained here can be found on the Internet, but there are several problems as well.
A book ev eryone should have...
This encyclopedia is a powerful resource for everyone. It's my first stop for treating a condition. With all of the harmful side effects of drugs and the state of health care in America, it's nice to know that someone like Dr. Null has taken the time to research and gather all of this information in one - easy to use -place.
Gary Null Has Outdone Himself,
The indefatigable Dr. Gary Null has truly outdone himself with The Complete Encyclopedia of Natural Healing (Revised and Updated ISBN #:0-7582-1316-6). I very much enjoyed the original Encyclopedia, but Dr. Null has redone the entire book, making it much more "user friendly." Parts of it actually read like a novel. Not only has he included many more references to scientific studies, but he has also incorporated studies from this year, 2005-this is an indication of how hard he must have worked to include up-to-the-date information. For example, it was just this year that cancer replaced heart disease as the number one killer of Americans. Out of curiosity, I perused the book to see whether it noted this. It did! To me, this is an indication of how much of his considerable talent and experience were put into this project.

Succinct, concise, surprisingly thorough explanation of the evidence
Natural Hormone Replacement is a succinct, concise, surprisingly thorough explanation of the evidence supporting bioidentical female hormone replacement.Lengthier treatments of this topic devote more discussion to inadequately designed, overpublicized studies, including theWomens Health Initiative and US Nurses Health Study. Jonathan Wright focuses primarily on better designed studies, which received less publicity in over sensationalized media coverage.The discussion of estriol / estradiol plus estrone ratio and breast cancer rates is especially informative. Surprisingly, etiocholanolone testing is discussed in this unexpectedly thorough book. Increased cancer rates occurring with progesterone deficiency are clearly explained. Wright provides a rational analysis and overview of the relative risk of underemphasized cardiovascular mortality compared to overemphasized breast cancer risk.Wright has written magazine articles for years and his ability to clearly explain large amounts of information and research concisely are refreshing.We have seen bioidentical estradiol, progesterone, DHEA and testosterone replacement treat severe depression, anxiety, fatigue, insomnia and migraine pain, at Florida Detox.Hormone replacement works much faster, than antidepressant therapy and can be used with patients who have adverse reactions, to almost every non-bioidentical pharmaceutical.
The small cost of and limited time required to read this book is well worth it!
Read this book. It will get you long on knowledge you really should know in short order. A HUGE misunderstanding has been created (on purpose, by the major pharmaceutical companies, or through the unfortunate ignorance of medical professionals) about synthetic, altered, equine, patented, profitable hormone replacement therapy (HRT) vs. Bio-Identical HRT. Everybody should know the difference and how it can affect their health.

Watch out...
Bio-identical hormones are not all they are cracked up to be. They have serious, dangerous impacts on the human body. Please, if you are going to try these, do your homework first. A growing number of women are experiencing lethal side effects. Some don't make it out the other side. I am one of the lucky ones - I survived the blood clots in my legs and two near-fatal, year-long illnesses connected with use of "natural" progesterone. Since that time, I have been contacted by scores of women who have suffered due to use of these hormones. I hope this information will be helpful to someone else, too. Please, safeguard your health - no one else is going to do it for you. ... Read more

Best singlenatural medicine book, I have read, which was written forboth laymen and practitioners
When patients ask me to recommend the book, most likely improve their health, Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine, Revised Second Edition, is the one I recommend, unless they suffer from diabetes, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue or cancer.I recommend Michael Murray's How to Prevent and Treat Diabetes with Natural Medicine andHow to Prevent and Treat Cancer with Natural Medicine, when they are more specific, to patient problems.The information on liver detoxification, diabetes, alcoholism, attention deficits, depression, obesity, migraines, osteoarthritis, restless leg syndrome, obesity, high blood pressure, hepatitis and prostatitis has improved our patient outcomes.We have succeeded in totally eliminating restless leg syndromes, in 2 days, using research contained in this book.The prostatitis protocols have produced 75 % reductions in nocturia.The migraine protocols can totally eliminate histamine headaches and reduce migraine pain, at least 50 %.We were able to lower an insulin diabetic's blood sugar 50 points using Gymnema, a herbal, recommended by this book.The book isthoroughly and exhaustively researched and documented. This book is readable, unlike much of the original research, published in journals. The main addition, which would make the book more complete, would be additional information about bioidentical hormone replacement.I have heard Michael Murray lecture and he isbrilliant andknowledgeable. His interest in reducing suffering is obvious.Michael Murray and his books are excellent, impressive advertisements for Bastyr College of Natural Medicine, although I have never seen him promote Bastyr College. I doubt I am the first reader or lecture attendee, whowished theyhadtime to be trained, at Bastyr College, after learning how knowledgeable their professors are.

The book is an excellent choice for anyone interest in the subject. I've bought and read 4 books on this subject (Complete Candida Yeast Guidebook by Jeanne Marie Martin, The Candida Albicans Yeast Free Cookbook by Pat Connolly, The Yeast Connection Cookbook by William Crook) but this one is the most conscise and yet it's offering all the answers. Dr. Murray offers a lot of suggestions on the diet and natural supplements that are essential for good health and boosting up an immune system. Medicine alone did not help me but combining the medicine with the diet recommendations found in this book showed results.

I disagree
I bought this book since everyone was giving it 5 stars. The first part of the book was o.k., but then, it got into way too much detail. I found the descriptions of the cells, lymphs and technical names for every enzyme pretty boring. I had to make myself finish reading it. Buy it if you want to read every detail of the immune system. If you are like me and need something more basic, look on.

A VARY GOOD BOOK
The book is vary good, BUT it depends on changing your lifestyle, and changing the way you eat. Which is VARY GOOD, eating more fresh vegetables& fruit, cutting down on the meat (colestrol). It takes a little bit of getting used to and it is the only thing that will get you back into shape.BUT IT IS WORTH THE TROUBLE. The book "The Hippocrates Diet" by Ann Wigmore, and "The New York Times Natural Foods Cookbook" are the best combo of books to let your body back to doing what GOD made it to do, That is to get well and stay well. I HAVE NOT used the Urine Therapy, so I can't say wheather it works or not. A person should not knock something they have not tried. It may be JUST WHAT YOU NEED for your ailment.
