Excellent books, every one of them are!

Every one of Shane Ellison's books are great. I have learned so much from him over the almost 20 years of reading his books and buying his supplements and I would give them each 10 stars if I could.

This book could save your life and restore your health.

Shane Ellison used to be a chemist for the big drug companies. You know, the companies that sell drugs that never cure anything, provide temporary relief, and often have harmful side effects. Shane quit working for the drug companies and started to expose the truth about drugs, illness, and cheap cures that work. This book contains some of the most important knowledge I've ever learned. Shane actually explains the chemistry of heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and other common diseases, and does so in language that is easy to understand. Shane also explains the chemistry of the drugs used to treat these illnesses, and why these drugs are often ineffective and dangerous. Best of all, Shane explains how to use inexpensive over-the-counter supplements to prevent and treat these illnesses. I particularly like the fact that Shane tells you the exact supplement to get, and explains why you should buy that particular supplement. He explains what ingredients should be in the supplement and actually includes the Latin name of the important ingredients so you can be sure they are included in the supplements you buy. He also explains how to take the supplements, when to take the supplements, and what the dosage should be. Even better, Shane has actually had a laboratory analysis done on every supplement he recommends, and makes the analysis available on his website. This is one of the few times that you will be able to buy a particular supplement based on scientific information, not just hype. I might add that Shane does not sell the supplements he recommends, and that most of them sell for $10 or less. I got a painful earache while I was reading the book. I followed one of Shane's suggestions. The earache was gone within an hour and never returned. One of the best things about the book is the clarity of Shane's writing. He has a truly wonderful gift for explaining complicated chemical processes in language that is easy to understand. For the first time in my life, I understand the cause of heart disease, cancer, and diabetes, how they work, and how to prevent them. The knowledge in this book is invaluable, and everybody should know it. Review is by Stanley A. Fishman, author of Tender Grassfed Meat: Traditional Ways to Cook Healthy Meat

Over-The-Counter Natural Cures

Great book, Shane! Out just in time to purchase as gifts for Christmas, which my husand and I are in the process of doing. Sadly, too many health books and health products are promoted by hucksters out to make a quick buck. NOT SO WITH OVER-THE-COUNTER NATURAL CURES. Easy to read information in one book. Not a subscription leading the reader on to the next issue, pg. so and so, with no answer in sight. Also, I awakened yesterday with a stuffy nose and severe sore throat. After lunch I took a dose of dehydrated garlic. During the middle of last night I awakened with only a touch of sore throat. Today the sore throat is totally gone. I am amazed at such quick relief. "Thanks," Shane, for caring enough to share your knowledge with the rest of us. Good health is wealth. Respectfully, Mrs. Robert L. (Kay) Bentley, Jr.

One of the Most Useful Natural Health Books Ever!

The first thing that struck me reading this book is that the author recommends ten specific supplements as remedies for some of the most serious health problems we face today such as cancer, diabetes, heart disease, stroke, obesity, and insomnia. When I say specific, I mean that the name of the brand is given, the dosage, where to buy it, and a lab certified Certificate of Analysis is also included on the book website for each one. I found this to be a stark contrast to other books on nutritional supplements which give a lot of vague information and leave the reader more confused than before they read the book. The next thing that impressed me is that the efficacy of each supplement is verified by science based evidence rather than hype and unsubstantiated claims. Shane Ellison's background as a pharmaceutical chemist and scientist makes him uniquely qualified to write about supplements which can effectively replace prescription drugs like statins, antibiotics, prostate drugs, sleep aids, blood pressure meds, and especially anti-cancer treatments like chemo and radiation. Throughout the book he includes numerically indexed references to the science studies which verify his claims. Listing of references is found in the endnotes section of the book. My 49 year old brother-in-law and my 23 year old nephew both died of cancer within 18 months of each other. I watched them waste away at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston while having their immune systems disabled by poisonous chemo. They were fed Froot Loops for breakfast, microwaved salisbury steak patties for dinner, and Jello for desert. They were demoralized, stripped of their health, hope and life, and in the end, they both died slowly under a morphine drip. In the chapter "Avoid Cancer Now" Ellison writes about a turmeric cancer cure that ironically, has been studied and confirmed by M. D. Anderson Cancer Center researchers. Hundreds of laboratory studies by Drs. Bharat Aggarwal, Razelle Kurzrock, and others at the center, have demonstrated that curcumin (the active pigment agent in turmeric) is effective against melanoma, breast, bladder, brain, pancreatic, and ovarian cancers, to name just a few. "In the lab, we haven't yet found a type of cancer it doesn't show activity against," says Aggarwal. Why are they not using this now to treat patients? Drug companies can't patent a spice that's why! There's far more money to be made using Big Pharma's patented chemical poisons. The obscene profits made selling these drugs ensures that America's sickness treadmill keeps running smoothly while the cancer industry keeps soliciting Americans for research donations. Early this year I had a spot on my left temple that looked like melanoma. As it grew from a small spec to around 3/8 inch diameter, I thought about my dear deceased relatives and I started to become concerned, really concerned that I might end up just like them. I didn't even want to put my attention on it or think about it much, not

REAL Healthcare Reform That Won't Break The Bank!

With the price of healthcare continuing to rise and the idea of universal health insurance for all Americans is being debated by lawmakers on Capitol Hill, talk of natural cures to many of the most common health woes that plagued us has increased. There are a glut of so-called "natural cures" books out there that only seek to prey on your desire to get healthier by trying to sell you a bunch of expensive supplements and other products that line the pockets of the authors who write about them. But The People's Chemist Shane Ellison said enough is enough! He wrote Over-The-Counter Natural Cures so that average, everyday hardworking people who can barely afford to pay their bills can begin adding inexpensive and yet incredibly effective ways to improve their health for less than $10 a month! In this economy, I can appreciate someone who cares enough about people to share this invaluable information about the most important nutrients your body needs to lower cholesterol, detox your body, improve cardiovascular health, lowering anxiety, ward off prostate problems, defeat cancer, overcome the obstacles that obesity and diabetes throw your way, and so much more. Best of all, you can accomplish these things WITHOUT THE USE OF ANY PRESCRIPTION MEDICATIONS! Unlike the pop-a-pill advice you get from the medical community, Ellison knows there are natural ways to accomplish the same if not better results. Interestingly, Ellison is no fan of the low-fat, high-carb diets that have been pushed on the American people for far too long now. He sees the enormous health benefits that carbohydrate restriction in conjunction with a higher fat intake can have on people willing to buck the trend of conventional wisdom and start taking action for themselves. Foods like grass-fed beef, seeds, nuts, butter, avocados, pastured eggs, coconut oil, fish and so much more will lead you on a pathway to health vitality like you've never seen before. Eating this way helped me lose 180 pounds in 2004 and I've eaten this way ever since to KEEP my health as vibrant as it has ever been in my entire life. It's the basis for many of the "cures" you read about in this book. THANK YOU Shane Ellison for sharing your insights on what it takes for people to grab back control of their health through amazingly simple lifestyle changes. This book will empower people to do just that and then share that knowledge with everyone they know! Pick up your own copy and give this book to your doctor, nutritionist, and anyone you are concerned about their health. It very well could save their life!

Diet not so good? Over-The-Counter Natural Cures to the rescue!

Heath Ledger, Michael Jackson, Elvis Presley, Marilyn Monroe, the wife of an Illinois pharmacist, my neighbor ... can you guess what they all have in common? A tragedy due to prescription medications ... some because of their misuse and others because of ignorance and insufficient testing by the FDA, like my brilliant neighbor who was born with no fingers and legs which did not grow due to a medication administered to his pregnant mother for morning sickness. Today's health solutions may be tomorrow's tragedies, and the only ones who can stop these tragedies from occurring are each of us. You might say, "we aren't doctors ... what can we do?" Plenty. We need to get smarter, and the best way to get smarter is to read and research. Start with this book, Over-The-Counter Natural Cures. Who better to tell us the dangers of prescription drugs than a former chemist for the big pharmaceutical companies, who quit when he discovered the medications he was creating were toxins, and that the best cures are found on every superstore shelf ... for a fraction of the cost and risk of prescription meds. Shane Ellison tells us that according to the National Center for Health Statistics up to 90% of Americans are nutrient deficient resulting in an epidemic of illnesses and conditions. Western medicine cannot help us because only nutrients can overcome a nutrient deficiency, not drugs. Physicians cannot help us restore our nutrient balance because the study of proper nutrition was removed from the medical school curriculum more than ninety years ago. We could schedule an appointment with a clinical dietitian; however, we'd be responsible for the cost as most insurance companies won't reimburse for these types of health consultations. You will be amazed at the natural cures for common maladies, such as ALA which is a safer and less invasive replacement for a face-lift, and Hawthorn, an herb which keeps our blood, heart, and arteries in tip-top health. It doesn't stop there ... Mr. Ellison tells us how to beat illness without antibiotics, how to fight obesity and diabetes, how to avoid cancer, and gives us a number of other natural cures which can save us from spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on future healthcare. According to a recent report by CNN Money, the retirement health tab for 65-year-old men and women (not including insurance premiums) adds up to anywhere between $64,000 and $140,000. He tells us which supplements to buy, where to buy them, when to take them, and how much to take. Some who follow an exceptionally healthy diet may not need to buy these supplements, but the majority need to jump in their car for an immediate trip to Wal-Mart and GNC to counteract their poor dietary habits. If Americans followed a better diet and traded out their prescription medications for natural supplements, perhaps we wouldn't be in the middle of a healthcare crisis. In the hospital where I work, our health insurance deductibles and premi
