I thought this was a well-written book with good information. I'm a fan of Dr. Mercola's and he's enlightened me on a lot of things about my health, but through him, I was introduced to other good information on my health, mental well-being, fitness, etc. God bless Dr. Mercola.

The information is good but then it gets too complicated to follow when you are asked to determine what your "type" is via a short quiz. The quiz isn't extensive so your results may or may not be accurate and the entire diet is based on them. It turns out the extensive version of the quiz can be found in different book about Metabolic Typing. I'm not sure I buy the whole metabolic typing fad. It hasn't been explained to me in a way that makes enough sense. The basic health and political eating principles are there though.

A door opener to a whole new understanding of the body's needs and its poisons. A guide to nutritional individualism, optimum functionality, and overcoming mental barriers to success. Now I know how to push myself to the junk food limit without feeling a bloated sugar hangover the next day...

Good stuff, good recipes for the file. Not as meaty as I hoped. I do not like the feeling that I bought a book only to be pitched on another book or program

Dr Mercola can be a little extreme, but in a good way! I love all the info in this book and have even tried some of the recipes with great success!

Finally the truth about nutrition, health and how to lose weight. Dr. Mercola has provided real support and great recipes.

[Sandee Lammers · Rating 3 out of 5]

Some good tips - but book is dated. Often says go to his web page to find... and not there anymore.

The total health program is simply the need of this hour. Very deep and meaningful work by Dr. JM for sure!

Was a very good book.

The recipes are useful, though I'm not convinced of the metabolic diet idea... Though to imagine each of us need something slightly different in diet to be at our best makes sense.
