I loved every bit of info in this story. I'm a great believer in natural health and natural medicine and this book had loads of information on how to treat conditions naturally. Even though Peter Glidden is affiliated with a certain supplement company that I'm not familiar with, I believe his info in this book is still solid, and that health conditions can and will be turned around no matter what supplements are used. It's a fact that our society is deficient in most vitamins and minerals because our produce just doesn't have the same amount of vitamins and minerals in them between travelling many miles to get to our store shelves, as well as the lands which these produces are grown on being completely deficient in vitamins and minerals from over farming and not rotating crops. These extreme deficiencies will lead to sickness in both animals and humans. Fortify the missing nutrients and these conditions can turn around. Lots of great info stored in this book. Kind of bummed the last few chapters read like a commercial, but despite that, I learned an amazing amount of info on how to keep myself and my family healthy as we all grow older.

If you've ever felt mislead by your health care provider

If you've ever felt mislead by your health care team this is the book for you! (Hint: you have been mislead) Dr. Glidden is rightfully salty about the state of medical affairs in the US. Once you read this book and understand the political stranglehold on our health care system, you'll understand and likely share his frustration.

In his book, Dr Glidden offers insight into the root causes of common disorders as well as the solution to reversal of said disorders. Generally most disorders can be easily reversed by dietary changes. Be warned, the information on the failure of cancer treatment will make your blood boil.

Yes, Dr Glidden promotes his line of supplements and services, but that's to be expected.

Bottom line, if you are open minded and you want to learn the ugly truth as to why the general population is sicker now than ever before, and who's actually behind all of it, this is the book for you.

Wholistic medicine explained for the lay person. There are many interesting historical incidents and "behind the scenes" approach discussing how and why we have the current "medical" programs we do. This book makes perfect sense as it describes how "Big Pharma" has us all under their thumb. Though at times a bit heavy handed there is a lot of wisdom and insights to be gained within these pages.

You'll need it!

Were do I begin? There is much practical information in this book. He puts MD's in their proper place as disease managers rather than a professional who facilitates a cure.
By all means go to them to mend your injuries, but ask them the last disease they cured. Better yet, follow the advice in the book so your not sick.

I read over 100 books a year and I already know that this is the BEST I will read in 2022. I stumbled upon this author when I started watching video interviews by doctors and scientists complaining about the pointlessness of science experiments and just overall uselessness of the MD medical model. Well Glidden doesn't hold back in this regard and I completely 100% agree. As a practitioner of one branch of medicine, energy medicine, all of the "alternative" medicines have been stumped on, ignored and oppressed by the all mighty allopathic medicine. Well I say enough is enough. Take control of your health by reading this book and follow the suggestions (get your 90 essential nutrients from Youngevity) and avoid the 12 bad foods. I am looking forward to living a long and healthy life is this the start!

great insight

I’ve been following Dr. Glidden and Dr. Wallach for a couple years now. I take the supplements they talk about in this book and partnered up with them.
The statistics about taking selenium if diagnosed with cancer is a big enough reason in itself to read this book. Our society has us conditioned to only take advice and believe medical doctors but there is so much more out there to help sickness, disease, and even cancer that do not cost as much money and have better success rates than the average prescription. Highly recommend this book. Everyone should have it!

A Doctor I Can Trust!

This has been the most concise, easy to read, easy to understand, logical approach to self healing book I have read yet. I am also familiar with Dr. Wallach's book Dead Doctors Don't Lie. I am a registered nurse with 33 years experience and I can vouch that the more pills we push on our patients, the sicker they are. Thank you so much for the many resources and basic recommendations we can use in this book to get started right away on the path to REAL health and wellness.

If I had been asked to rate this book before the last chapter, I would have rated it higher. When any book closes out with recomendations to buy one specific product, you lose me instantly. Tell me what to look for, give me the top 3; not that one single company in the world makes the only solution.
Otherwise I thought the content was pretty good. Worth a read, but there are better books out there without the kool-aid plug at the end.

I could highlight almost every paragraph of this important book, but if you need a prod to persuade you to read it yourself, this excerpt may convince you :-

“ Wholistic medicine is “Systems – Oriented.” It argues that the body is a complex system of inter-related parts. It believes that the human body has a built-in, natural ability to regulate, maintain, and fix itself. Its treatments are designed to promote and to stimulate these processes. It believes that the body must be properly nutrified in order to be healthy. It believes that detoxification procedures are necessary to optimize the health of the body. It believes in the existence of a spiritual “Vital Force” which animates the physical body and impacts its health. Its treatments are, more often than not, curative. It has a sophisticated understanding of the definition of “Health.”
