This book sickened me -not with what it said but with what it was trying to do by saying it. The book is basically a sales pitch for readers to become "private" members of the author's website. The site is constantly mentioned throughout the book and even has a full chapter dedicated to it. The stats the authors gives are blatantly BS with one being that it is expected that most americans will ingest 1000 pounds of over the counter medications over a twenty year period. That's 50 pounds a year or almost four pounds a months! The author could have at least tried to make the stat seem realistic.

As for the cures, there is a small chapter in the 550 page book that mentions cures, but mainly the book repeats over and over (in hoped that it would eventually be thought true) the conspiracy theories associated with the FDA, politicians and the food and drug industry, with constant references to the three groups coming after him, and he even hints that he was a Top Secret Agent for the government!

The book certainly appears to be a giant con job working on fear to get monthly subscribers to his website that offers all the info that he says he is not allowed to mention in the book. Though he maybe on with some things, the level he tries to take them to is pathetic and the number of times he repeats his unsubstantiated stories and statistics (all the while calling out other organizations on theirs) is mind blowing. You would think he would have stopped after a half dozen repeats, but nope, he keeps going.

With all these stories and claims, you would think that there would be a substantial bibliography but there isn't one. The last few pages of the book are positive reviews.

This book should be classified as fiction.

I'm left wondering how many people have died trying to follow his advice of avoiding doctors who prescribe drugs. I know if I did two years ago, I'd be fertilizer now.

Can you say infomercial? There is some useful info in this book, but it tends to get lost in the hype.

You have to love the quotation marks around They. I also find the bonus cures to 50 specific diseases hilarious. I can't wait to find out how Trudeau passes and why he was unable to prevent death. Wouldn't a more honest book concern how to prevent and shorten life?

Amazing book! Everyone should be required to read it!

Although it was an interesting and thought provoking book, there was too much of "I can't tell you that but you can go here to get more information"
Seemed almost like practically the whole book was one big sales ad to get you to subscribe to other things, mostly that needed to be paid for

lets repeat the same info over and over again and call it a book, no thanks.

He's AMAZING intelligent

This is EXTREMELY mind-opening...learned a ton.

I would not tell anyone not to read this book. In fact I'd never tell anyone not to read any book because I recognize everyone has different tastes.

I have looked at some reviews. People who love this book argue that there IS info out there big pharma is not telling us.

People who hate this book argue the writer is a scam artist.

My feelings? I agree with both arguments. I DO believe there is plenty we do not know in regards to food, big pharma, disease and treatment.

I also believe this writer's reputation proceeds him and while some of his arguments maybe valid, maybe he is not the one I want to hear making the arguments.

I personally have known people who had bad diagnoses who went macrobiotic and gained years.

At the same time, I also know that will not work for everyone.

I think it is perfectly fine to read this book and take what you can from it. But the subject matter is widely covered in other books, movies, documentaries by more authentic people.

A year or so before buying this book I saw this man briefly on an infomercial as I flipped throught the channels on tv. Not too long after that I saw it again and this time I stopped to watch. After listening for a while I wanted the book but I wasn't going to order it and it was too much anyway. I decided I would get it whenever it came to a book store or something. A year or so later I saw it at Costco for half the price and I got one immediately. I always take notes on these types of books and did so with this one too. He definately has an agenda and that is not what I was interested in. I skipped several chapters of the book and sections of other chapters because of this, but still found to book to be enlightening and encouraging for change. I would reccommend to people to borrow it from someone. I realize that this is the man's living, but he's doing just fine for himself and it may be worth reading first and then deciding if you want it as part of your library.

Great book :) Of course, lots of haters who can’t handle the truth. I technically didn’t need to read this book to know this stuff, but I got it at a yard sale for free, so I got it and glad I did.

Has good points. But he is to stuck on himself for my taste.
