Sensible, Practical Advice for the Common Man!

This book is packed with common sense guidelines and bottom line results of solid scientific studies about what causes disease and how to take charge of your own health without buying a specialist's products. Every chapter is packed with advice on how you can implement lifestyle changes to improve your own health in your own home.I haven't found a more sensible compilation of medical studies or practical advise on how to prevent chronic and deadly diseases, or how to reverse many of the diseases the Western world is suffering from, like heart disease, obesity, high blood pressure, and osteoporosis. This book contains lots of graphics to help us understand what medical researchers are saying without requiring a medical degree to comprehend them. Each chapter is supplemented with a bibliography so you can investigate their findings yourself if you wish.I highly recommend this book to anyone who is sick and tired of being sick and tired!

Highly recommended by VeganSuperStore.Com

This is absolutely one of the best books on health I've ever read. It is clear, concise, and easy to follow. There are many color charts and illustrations inside, which make the book engaging and easy to understand. Though it may seem pricey, it's the size of a textbook and packed with useful information. I do wish they had included an index with the book, but evidently they want you to buy the CD-ROM version for that. In spite of this drawback, I found the book very helpful and would recommend it to anyone serious about their health.

Dr. Nedley has hit a home-run with this practical textbook!

Anyone who is interested in improving their own health, or the health of their family and loved ones, needs this book. It presents in layman's terms a commonsense approach to understanding what causes disease and what can turn health around for the better! It's refreshing to see an M.D. who is more interested in getting the individual to take charge of their own health than in keeping them as a paying patient through non-stop drug therapies! Hats off to you, Dr. Nedley!

Terrific info for changing to a healthy life-style!

This book is full of up-to-date medical information from reputable medical studies on the most important health issues of our times. If you are interested in living as healthfully as you can, this book would be an invaluable resource. (Our teenagers love it, too!)
