This book will seriously affect your health - for the better - By: carey.davis-munro@reedexpo.co.uk, 12 Apr 2001 
This book is seriously life changing. Once you have read it, you will want to go straight out & buy a copy of it for everyone dear to you & anyone you know or know of that may be suffering from one illness or another. Andrew Weil has the ability to communicate succinctly & clearly the workings of the human body & is hugely motivational in the process. It is an empowering experience as you realise that we alll have the potential to ensure we have longevity in our lives & we have the power to fight illness & ensure optimum well being. He does not reject conventional medicine but educates you as to where you can supplement it with alternative medicine & gives a practical & easy to follow guide to help you change your habits. None of it is rocket science - but we alll need to be reminded & re educated. Cannot recommend this highly enough!

Seems strained and inauthentic - By: , 17 Jun 1999 
I have a hard time taking this guy at face value. His ego & self-centeredness just scream off the pages. Most of the information is second hand, & not terribly compelling. There are a lot of great new books on health these days. I cannot say that I can honestly recommend this one. Sorry.
Spontaneous Healing is a medical bible. - By: , 10 Aug 1998 Weil's "Spontaneous Healing" discusses the power of natural medicine & the spirit over certain medical practices. The author presents powerful testimonials from patients who have conquered their illnesses with their own techniques. The book also present a guide to various illnesses, including cancer & AIDs, as well as a glossary of natural remedies. You will not only read this book once, you will refer to it throughout your life.
Too bad this book is not required reading in high school. - By: , 04 Apr 1998 An EXCELLENT book. At last someone presents a new point of view. Having been the "victim" of countless western medicine proponents, this book was the answer to my prayers. I began his 8 week program (also found on his website) & have noticed a remarkable improvement in my physical well being, not to mention my attitude about life in general.Dr. Weil points out that in order to achieve this state of well being, you yourself must first undergo a change. It is not an easy task; it requires a lifestyle change as well as a belief & spirit in yourself that what you are doing will yield positive long term benefits. Unfortunately, our society promotes drugs to ease our ills. Our medical community promotes this for their own benefit. Dr. Weil offers alternatives which are safer, less expensive & much more beneficial in the long run. If you REALLY want to feel your best then read this book.It is beyond me how some people just don't "get it". I think many of those people who criticize this book are getting something out of their suffering.
