Reviews

[Melissa Unruh Hill · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book is an EASY read and packed with fundamental information, which I apreciated. However, I feel that this book only scratches the surface in the world of probiotics. I would recommend this book to anyone who is unable to explain their physical ailments or who may be skeptical of natural healing methods... anything from the common cold to cancers may have to do with an imbalance of bacteria in the gut! This book explains that well.

I learned a great deal from this on how our digestive system really plays a crucial role in our health and well-being.

[Lucas Ventura · Rating 4 out of 5]

A great book that is not overly-scientific for the layperson, but contains supple information for those looking for a better understanding of bacterial species and physiological processes.
