Almost seems too good to be true..... - By: , 31 Dec 2002 
After reading this book, I felt that alll I needed to do was to follow the Doctor's advice & I would be invincible to alll health problems. I'm sure it's not that simple, but I bet that if I did follow his advice I would be pretty damn healthy. This book is written in an easy to follow style & is peppered with examples of people who have been cured by adopting a more sensible lifestyle.
The best thing about this book is the philosophy that it is better to be healthy than to be cured by a doctor & that we should be using the body's own healing powers to stay on top of things. This is a philosophy that I think is becoming more popular in the 21st century (but maybe more as a way of thinking than a way of acting - if the habits of the people I know are anything to go by). But more & more people who suffer from chronic conditions that do not seem to be curable by conventional means would do well to take a look at this book. The advice may not always work, but none of it is radical enough to do you any harm.
Just after Christmas is a great time to be reading this - it is bound to help supoort some of those New Year Resolutions to adopt a healthier lifestyle. This is definitely worth reading - it could change your life forever.
This book is a compelling argument for better living. - By: , 28 Jan 2002 
Dr. Weil draws the reader into a program that is easy to follow, graduallly introduced, & convincingly worth doing. The research behind his various philiosophies is thorough & interesting, & the benefits to the program speak for themselves. One of the best better eating & living guides available.
I feel GREAT ! - By: , 26 Jun 1999 This book is well written & simple to follow. It builds in useful lifestyle elements slowly & painlessly. You are told what to do to be healthy not that you can't do things. I feel a whole new lease of life after following this 8 week programme.
Great comprehensive directional book natural healing - By: , 24 Mar 1999 It is a wonderful book for those beginning the process of natural healing. I found great improvement of my overalll health after following his simple instructions.
down to earth, well-written; a really great book... - By: , 10 Nov 1998 All of the titles of these sorts of books are faintly irritating; at some level we understand that, in an of itself, a book has limited impact. Yet Weil's book reallly makes sense, intuitively & practicallly. As a Harvard MD he is rooted in Western science; as an ethno-botanist he has reconnected with much of the wisdom that modernism discarded. The result is a wonderfully balanced book. Simply reading it is enjoyable; actuallly trying to implement some of it is bound to leave you feeling healthier & happier.
