Customer Reviews

Cost of Book

This is an excellent and comprehensive resource. But it can be purchased directly from Mercola's website for $19.95 so why is it from $35 to $111 (good grief!) on this site, which is supposed to be cheaper!

Great Book, Great Products

Dr. Mercola's approach to be in charge of your own health has practically eliminated my trips to the doctor. I honestly can't remember the last time I needed to go in, other than for a regular teeth cleaning. I am also prescription drug free, and intend to stay that way. Dr. Mercola is unmarried, and completely devoted to his research, so he spends basically every living moment devoted to natural health. While it is true that Dr. Mercola recommends certain products from his web store, I have confidence that he has carefully researched them and chosen the best products available. (I mean, he has to support himself somehow, and his books and website are chock full of unique information on so very many topics which obviously takes a lot of time to do). As a busy Mom, I don't have time to do the extensive vetting process I once did when buying nutritional items so I really appreciate being able to get vitamins, etc from a trusted source. So I say, don't throw out the valuable information just cause you feel p*ssed about the self-product recommendations.

Great resource guide

I read this book from cover to cover and really liked how Dr. Mercola identifies the many factors that interfer with health maintenance. A person could read many books to obtain the same information. He does a nice job of explaining complex topics for example genetically modified organisms (GMO). Dr. Mercola makes it easy to understand important health issues. I also liked his resource guide and recommended readings. I thought he did a very thorough job. I went on to read many of the recommended books and found them to be helpful.
