Denise Mortimore's Comp. Illus. Guide to Nutritional Healing

This was a wonderful book! I have read many books on nutrition. My frustration with other books was that each book said something a little different. I've read Fit for Life, Eat Right 4 Your Type, Sugar Busters...and gained from each book. However, THIS book contains ALL that information and MORE! (Even includes a section specifically for women's health needs). The illustrations are wonderful, the charts very helpful, and a wealth of information is included in the pages. My favorite book on nutrition BY FAR! Highly recommend!

A great book to get you started on the road to wellness

The book was easy to understand, easy to follow and easy to incorporate into your diet. It may not be the most complete book on the subject of nutrition, but it has excellent advice, great places to start and specific topics to peruse. Everyone is looking toward nutrition to help them out with specific problem areas, this book does just that. It shows you what is good and what is bad for specific illnesses, and symptoms. I particulary liked the glycemic portion of the glucose chapter, it puts into perfect perspective which foods are worse, better and best to control your glucose level. Since many illnesses are now attributed to insulin resistance (like PCO, diabetes, prostate problems) I thought this section was particulary enlightening.The herbs, minerals and vitamins in each portion were very well documented also, and relevant to each health area being discussed. Its an excellent place to start for those travelling down the road of natural healing.

A very good reference guide! However..........

I am impressed! Not Blown-Away.....but impressed! A few items like the "New Food Pyramid" and the "Health Concern Assessment" section are extremely valuable (Especially for the layman).As a Professional Nutritional Advisor though, I was a little disappointed that a publication of this high quality (Great questionnaires, great illistrations, good general health information, etc.) was lacking as much as it was. There is a section in vitamins and minerals for instance and later it touches on some herbs. What about other nutrients that don't fall into those categories?For example: One particular nutrient (Lyprinol) is a marine lipid extract that comes from the New Zealand Green-Lipped Mussle. This Super-Nutrient is THE MOST POWERFUL ANTI-INFLAMMATORY on the planet but was somehow overlooked.Another example: Years ago Professor Dr. Jack Masquelier discovered and patented THE MOST POWERFUL ANTI-OXIDANT on the planet. This nutrient is Oligomeric Proanthocyanidins. His formulation (OPC-85) is still unmatched by any other anti-oxidant claiming it is also an OPC. Yet this vital nutrient was completely overlooked as were several others like Methyl-Sulfonyl-Methane (MSM), Detailed Amino Acids, Glucosamine Sulfate, Glucosamine HCI, N-Acetyl-Glucosamine, Chondroitin Sulfate, Collagen Hydrolysate and many, many more.The recipe, medicine chest, common ailments and food combining sections were Ok but again lacked any substance.The various DIET sections are not as good as I'd like to see. Example: Someone who is obese would not want to follow this plan as it suggests carbs.Overall this is a good reference and is a welcome addition to any home or office but I personally would not rely on it as my sole reference.I have been providing free nutritional advise, counciling and training for years and I welcome any thoughts or questions someone may have.
