This book gets my highest recommendation. Read the description

Eat to Live: The Revolutionary Formula for Fast and Sustained Weight Loss by Dr. Joel Fuhrman demonstrates the connection between the standard American diet, disease and early death. In chapter three of this book, he graphs the relation between the percentage of unrefined plant food and the percentage of deaths from cancer, heart disease, stroke and diabetes. It's an amazing graph. A straight line showing that the more raw vegetarian food a population consumes the lower the death rate from those killer diseases. He backs it up with 27 pages of footnotes and studies! The message of this book is hardly surprising coming from the doctor who previously wrote "Fasting and Eating for Health."
Dr. Fuhrman is a firm believer in fasting to restore health by letting the body detoxify from the toxins of our artificially colored, flavored preserved and processed food. Although he doesn't mention the Master Cleanse, he firmly establishes the science of detoxification through fasting and trumpets the results in his earlier book. If you read my newsletters on Aspartame and MSG, you won't be surprised to read in chapter four that he links both of those chemicals with severe headaches and other toxic effects.
In chapter two, Dr. Fuhrman applauds the revised dietary guidelines published in the July 27, 1999 issue of the Journal of the American Heart Association. These guidelines encourage Americans to eat more "unrefined" plant food and less food from "animal sources." They are supported by eight mainstream authorities including the Nutrition Committee of the American Heart Association, the American Cancer Society, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and the Division of Nutritional Research of the National Institutes of Health.

Fasting and Eating for Health : A Medical Doctor's Program for Conquering Disease by Joel Fuhrman, MD, covers much of what happens on the Master Cleanse because the Master Cleanse functions not only as a cleanse, but also as a juice fast. Although this book contains some scientific and technical jargon, it is fascinating to anyone who's done the Master Cleanse longer than 10 days or who is interested in learning more about how the cleanse influences body processes. He talks about the first two to three days being the worst, the tongue coating, and the sense of energy and clear headedness that Master Cleansers routinely experience.
His own story will be interesting to anyone on the alternative health "road." Dr. Fuhrman was injured as a young man. After a year with no results from orthodox American medicine, he rejected experimental surgery and looked for answers in other forms of healing. He remembered his arthritic father restored his health with fasting and that led him to Dr. Herbert Shelton's Health School in San Antonio. After a fast of 46 days, Dr. Fuhrman could walk again. A year later he placed third in the World Professional Figure Skating Championships!
Mad Cowboy: Plain Truth from the Cattle Rancher
Who Won't Eat Meat by Howard
F. Lyman, Glen
Merzer "I
am a fourth-generation dairy farmer and cattle rancher..."
Howard Lyman's testimony on The Oprah Winfrey Show revealed
the deadly impact of the livestock industry on our well-being. It not only led
to Oprah's declaration that she'd never eat a burger again, it sent shock waves
through a concerned and vulnerable public.
A fourth-generation
Montana rancher, Lyman investigated the use of chemicals in agriculture after
developing a spinal tumor that nearly paralyzed him. Now a vegetarian, he
blasts through the propaganda of beef and dairy interests -- and the government
agencies that protect them -- to expose an animal-based diet as the primary
cause of cancer, heart disease, and obesity in this country. He warns that the
livestock industry is repeating the mistakes that led to Mad Cow disease in
England while simultaneously causing serious damage to the environment.
Persuasive, straightforward, and full of the down-home good humor and optimism of a son of the soil, Mad Cowboy is both an inspirational story of personal transformation and a convincing call to action for a plant-based diet -- for the good of the planet and the health of us all.

This will be a short review. Simply put, this book laid
the foundation seven years ago for my vegetarianism. I have found few if any
sources in academic libraries to dispute McDougall's views on diet and health.
I was 23 when I began using this book as the basis for my diet and recipes.
Today, in 2000, I enjoy these recipes regularly (I do add some salt back, and
take a cue from Andrew Weil's "Spontaneous Healing" with regard to
olive oil) and review this information from time to time to gauge my progress.
While so many of my contemporaries are swelling like ticks from their childhood
diets, my one adult decision to become vegetarian has resulted in a slim body,
constant comments from my friends about my youthful appearance, and a cleaner
planet due to all the cows and pigs and chickens I did not consume. I cannot
say that this book changed my life; my decision to change gave the consequence
of searching for such a book. I believe anyone with the will to become a new
person will find much inspiration and practical advice in "The McDougall
Program." I'm ordering it for my mom today.
Fit for Life (Mass Market Paperback)

you one of those people looking for a way of living that will allow you to
sensibly lose weight?.
Editorial
Reviews
Amazon.com
"It is not only what you eat that makes the difference, but also of
extreme importance is when you eat it and in what combinations," say
Harvey and Marilyn Diamond, authors of this classic bestseller. Their program
results in eating balanced, nutritious, high-fiber foods, making dieting
"unnecessary and as obsolete as sealing wax."
The Diamonds explain that body
functions have a daily cycle: noon to 8 p.m.-- appropriation (eating and
digestion); 8 p.m. to 4 a.m.--assimilation (absorption and use); 4 a.m. to
noon--elimination (of body wastes and food debris). Fit for Life aims to
return you to a lifestyle based on your natural body cycles. That means 70
percent of your diet should be "high-water-content foods"--fruits and
vegetables--which facilitate all body functions. Consume nothing but fruit or
fruit juice until noon, then eat salad and vegetables with every meal for the
rest of the day.
Two-thirds of the book is explanation and discussion; one-third is
menu plans and recipes. You won't be hungry, your food choices will be healthy,
and you'll lose weight without dieting. --Joan Price

Pottenger's Cats: A Study in Nutrition (Paperback)
by Francis Marion Pottenger "The
cats in The Pottenger Cat Study were kept in large outdoor pens..."

Reviewer: |
EDWARD DARMOHRAY (fort
myers, Florida United States) - See all my reviews
|
Pottenger's Cats is a classic in the science of nutrition. Dr.
Pottenger discovered quite by accident that cats degenerated unless they were
fed raw food. In his 10-year study of 900 cats, he found the optimal diet for
his cats was 2/3 raw meat and 1/3 raw milk plus a little cod liver oil. If
either the meat or the milk was cooked, the cats degenerated. And if both were
cooked, the degeneration was much worse, and the cats could no longer reproduce
by the third generation.
Some of the problems Pottenger
found in the cats fed cooked food were: heart problems; nearsightedness and
farsightedness; underactivity and inflammation of the thyroid; infections of
the kidney, liver, testes, ovaries and bladder; arthritis and inflammation of
the joints; inflammation of the nervous system with paralysis and meningitis.
And in the third generation, some of the cats' bones became as soft as rubber.
Lung problems, and bronchitis and pneumonia were also frequent. Moreover, the
females became irritable and even dangerous, and the males became passive and
lacked sex interest.
Do many of these conditions sound
familiar? Pottenger, of course, realized that his cat studies didn't apply
entirely to humans. He believed nonetheless that his findings for cats did have
relevance for humans, and in his sanitarium he fed his patients much raw food,
with considerable success. Weston A. Price reported in his book,
"Nourishing Traditions" that all of the people's he studied worldwide
included much raw food in their traditional diets and were almost entirely free
of the degenerative diseases that are rampant in our junk food society, such as
tooth decay, heart disease, stroke, cancer, diabetes, arthritis, digestive
disturbances,etc.
If you want to stay healthy, you
owe it to yourself to read both Pottenger and Price. Their eye opening
photographs alone will make clear to you that you need optimum nutrition if you
want to be optimally healthy

The Fluoride Deception (Paperback)
by Christopher Bryson "AS
SHE DROVE alongside the Charles River in the bright August sunshine of 1982 for
her first day of work at the Forsyth Dental Center..."
Editorial
Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Concerns over fluoridated drinking water have long been derided as the
obsession of McCarthyite cranks. But this muckraking j’accuse asserts that
fluoride is indeed a dire threat to public health, one foisted upon the nation
by a vast conspiracy—not of Communist agents, but of our very own
military-industrial complex. Investigative reporter Bryson revisits the
decades-long controversy, drawing on mountains of scientific studies, some
unearthed from secret archives of government and corporate laboratories, to
question the effects of fluoride and the motives of its leading advocates. The
efficacy of fluoridated drinking water in preventing tooth decay, he contends,
is dubious. Fluoride in its many forms may be one of the most toxic of
industrial pollutants, and Bryson cites scientific analyses linking fluoridated
drinking water to bone deformities, hyperactivity and a host of other complaints.
The post-war campaign to fluoridate drinking water, he claims, was less a
public health innovation than a public relations ploy sponsored by industrial
users of fluoride—including the government’s nuclear weapons program. Legendary
spin doctors like Edward Bernays exploited the tenuous link between dental
hygiene and fluoridation to create markets to stimulate fluoride production and
to prove the innocuousness of fluoride compounds, thereby heading off lawsuits
by factory workers and others poisoned by industrial fluoride pollution. Bryson
marshals an impressive amount of research to demonstrate fluoride’s
harmfulness, the ties between leading fluoride researchers and the corporations
who funded and benefited from their research, and what he says is the duplicity
with which fluoridation was sold to the people. The result is a compelling
challenge to the reigning dental orthodoxy, which should provoke renewed
scientific scrutiny and public debate.

Book Description
"It is my sincere hope that
Christopher Bryson's apparently thorough and comprehensive perusal of the
scientific literature on the biological actions of fluoride and the ensuing
debates through the years will receive the attention it deserves and that its
implications will be seriously considered."-Arvid Carlsson, winner of the
2000 Nobel Prize in Medicine
"The Fluoride Deception
reads like a whodunit. . . .We are left with compelling evidence that powerful
interests with high financial stakes have colluded to prematurely close honest
discussion and investigation into fluoride toxicity."-Chemical &
Engineering News
"Previous authors have
presented the idea of a deception, if not an outright conspiracy, involving
fluoride. What makes Bryson's book unique is that it is an up-to-date account
supported by indisputable new evidence in the form of declassified
correspondence and exhumation of buried studies."-Fluoride
"As with landmark titles,
such as Silent Spring, Bryson's book is bound to become a seminal
volume."-British Columbia Naturopathic Association
With the narrative punch of
Jonathan Harr's A Civil Action and the commitment to environmental
truth-telling of Erin Brockovich, The Fluoride Deception leads us on a
terrifying journey through the history of the industrial use of fluoride, a
chemical substance that has risen steadily in status from a deadly
environmental pollutant responsible for injuring thousands to a key component
in the development of the atomic bomb to a staple ingredient in toothpaste and
drinking water all across the United States.
Christopher Bryson is an award-winning investigative reporter and television
producer. After reporting on Guatemalan Army human rights abuses from Central
America in the late 1980s for the BBC World Service, National Public Radio, and
The Atlanta Constitution, he then won a George Polk Award as part of the
Jonathan Kwitny investigative team on public television's The Kwitny Report.

Questioning Chemotherapy (Paperback)
by Ralph W. Moss
Book Description
A revealing critique of chemotherapy, this book looks objectively at chemo's
successes and failures.
From the Author
Hi! I'm Ralph Moss, author of Questioning Chemotherapy. I want to tell you how
and why I came to write this book.
I started as a believer in
chemotherapy. As a science writer at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in
New York, I wrote articles praising the latest advances in chemotherapy. I was
impressed by the then-emerging cures for Hodgkin's disease, acute lymphocytic
leukemia and some other relatively rare cancers. At the same time, I began to
learn how skeptical many good scientists were about chemotherapy's future.
The major objection to
"chemo" was that these drugs did not discriminate between normal and
cancerous cells, but attacked all rapidly dividing cells . One scientist
described this method as "trying to melt a patient's left ear , while
leaving the right one alone." It seemed particularly inappropriate in the
treatment of solid tumors of adults, which are often slow-growing.
Because chemotherapy drugs were
general cellular poisons, they could be terribly toxic. They were also very
expensive for patients and for society as a whole. When I learned about the
links between the pharmaceutical industry and the cancer establishment (later
detailed in my book, The Cance r Industry) I understood the commercial reason
that such an inadequate modality was so heavily promoted.
In 1989, a German biostatistician
named Ulrich Abel, Ph.D. published a groundbreaking monograph called
"Chemotherapy of Advanced Epithelial Cancer. It made few waves in the U.S.
and soon went out of print. In this excellent work, however, Dr. Abel rigorously
demonstrated that chemotherapy had never been scientifically proven to extend
life through randomized clinical trials (RCTs) in the vast majority of
"epithelial cancers." These are the common types of carcinoma that
affect most cancer patients in the Western world.
Some years later, in response to
many requests, I decided to write a critical book about chemotherapy (a sort of
companion piece to Cancer Therapy). I took Abel's out-of-print work as my
starting point, but also consulted the work of many other students of
chemotherapy. In this book, I update statistics and speak about all cancers and
not just carcinomas. I go into depth on the politics and economics of the
chemotherapy industry, on the biases, fallacies and frauds that occur, and on
ways of warding off the sometimes catastrophic side effects that accompany this
treatment.
The essential point of the book
is that one must question the measure of success in chemotherapy. Oncologists
have tended to equate an increasing percentage of "responses" with
progress. However, responses are generally measurements of tumor shrinkage, for
as little as one month's duration. One cannot automatically assume that a
response--even a complete response--will lead to increased survival. One must
look for increased survival. Yet the number of cancers for which life
prolongation through chemotherapy has been proven through randomized clinical
trials is very small. (I do bend over backwards to point these out, when they
occur.)
So when a doctor says her regimen yields a 40 percent response
rate, "what exactly is she promising? A short-term shrinkage of tumors--or
actual life-prolongation? What effect is this treatment likely to have on the
patient's quality of life? And what is the cost?" It is only by obtaining
information such as this that patients are able to make rational treatment
choices. Questioning Chemotherapy is intended to help patients by providing
them with a critical perspective on this now dominant modality.
Never Be Sick Again: Health is a
Choice, Learn How to Choose It (Paperback)
by Raymond Francis, Kester Cotton "Not
too many years ago, no one would have been able to convince me that I would be
writing a definitive book about human health..."
Book Description
One day Raymond Francis, a chemist and a graduate of MIT, found himself in a
hospital, battling for his life. The diagnosis: acute chemical hepatitis,
chronic fatigue, multiple chemical sensitivities, and several autoimmune
syndromes, causing him to suffer fatigue, dizziness, impaired memory, heart
palpitations, diarrhea, numbness, seizures and numerous other ailments. Knowing
death was imminent unless he took action, Francis decided to research solutions
for his disease himself. His findings and eventual recovery led him to conclude
that almost all disease can be both prevented and reversed. In Never Be Sick
Again, Francis presents a seminal work based on these findings - a revolutionary
theory of health and disease: there is only one disease (malfunctioning cells),
only two causes of disease (deficiency and toxicity), and six pathways to
health and disease (nutrition, toxins, psychological, physical, genetic, and
medical). This remarkable book answers the questions: What is health? What is
disease? Why do people get sick? How can disease be prevented? How can it be
reversed? It will teach readers, in one easy lesson, an entirely new way to
look at health and disease - an approach that is easy to understand, yet so
powerful that they may, indeed, never have to be sick again. Providing a basic
understanding of health and disease, this book takes the mystery out of
disease. It provides readers, no matter what their present physical condition, a
holistic approach to living that will empower them to get well - and stay well.

Prescription Alternatives : Hundreds of Safe, Natural,
Prescription-Free Remedies to Restore & Maintain Your Health (Paperback)
by Earl Mindell, Virginia Hopkins
Amazon.com
Each year, 140,000 Americans die from the adverse effects of prescription drug
use, and 938,000 Americans are "injured" due to prescription and
dispensing errors. Eleven million people are abusing prescription drugs. Drug
companies are forming "alliances" with HMOs to control the drugs you
take, often at the expense of simpler, cheaper, and healthier lifestyle
changes. No wonder alternative-medicine crusader Earl Mindell, author of Earl Mindell's Vitamin Bible
and Earl Mindell's Herb Bible,
wants you to inform yourself and take control of your treatment.
"Physicians ... are trained to diagnose a disease and find a pill to treat
it with," he says. It's up to us, the patients, to investigate the
potential side effects of our prescription drugs and alternatives to taking
them.
Prescription Alternatives is a layperson's crash course in prescription drugs and
alternative treatments, such as dietary changes and nutritional supplements.
Mindell covers drug interactions, how to read labels and inserts, and how to
avoid abuse. He discusses prescription drugs and alternative treatments in
detail for heart disease, digestive diseases, respiratory illnesses, pain
relief, infections, sleep disorders, depression, diabetes, eye diseases, prostate
enlargement, hormone replacement, osteoporosis, and herpes. This is information
you won't get from your HMO--and in this case, what you don't know can
hurt you. --Joan Price --This text refers to an out of print or

The UV Advantage: The Medical Breakthrough That Shows How to Harness the Power of the Sun for Your Health (Paperback)
by Michael F. Holick
Sunshine is good for you! While too much sun causes wrinkles and raises other health concerns, a lack of sun exposure, our primary source of vitamin D, can cause serious health problems. Dr. Holick, the discoverer of the active form of vitamin D, has pulled together an impressive body of evidence in support that no one should be--as he puts it--a sunphobe, nor, for that matter, a sun worshipper. His conclusion: relatively brief, but unfettered exposure to sunshine and its equivalent can help to ward off a host of debilitating and sometimes deadly diseases, including osteoporosis, cancers of the colon, prostate and breast, hypertension, diabetes, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and depression.
