do yourself a favor.
don't.
let me explain.
the man is a con artist. he's spent time in JAIL for credit card fraud. he's hawked tons of products on late-night infomercials. the latest? his book. and it's not just the book - it encourages you to pay to sign up for his site, which promises the actual "cures" but never delivers. he basically takes other people's work and only superficially adresses a few actual natural treatments, while spending the remainder of the time talking about why he's so great and why the FDA's so bad.
while i do like the fact that he's opening the public's eyes to the corruption of the FDA and its relationship with pharmaceutical corporations, i HATE the fact that he's cajoling millions into buying into his scam, and that he's making the entire health and wellness industry look bad. granted, in this industry, some people are only in it for the money and will stretch the truth for a dollar - but that's true of any industry and the overwhelming majority of people in it, in my experience, are genuine and the competition is always about making a higher-quality product that serves the consumers.
in any case, i just wanted to warn people to stay away from this book. it's a waste of money. if you really want "natural cures" and a resource of natural, nutritional treatments to many common ailments, try Prescription for Nutritional Healing. (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1583330771/104-7281020-6177521?v=glance) it's a good starter book that serves as a good reference for the average person, adressing nutritional deficiencies that are the root of many problems and natural alternatives, as well as conventional medicinal treatments that have proven effective. while it's not the most in-depth book out there, it's a great resource for the average person or family.
