One Big Conspiracy 1 out of 5 stars.
12 of 28 people found this review helpful.

This is the sort of book for paranoid people addicted to conspiracy theories. Couple that with a few bad experiences with conventional dentistry and you have a sizable audience that would rather believe a fanciful lie than the mundane truth.

Though I don't agree with most of what's written in this book, I don't regret buying it. It teaches me how to con ignorant people with high tech jargon, pseudo scientific theories and conspiracy theories. If people BELIEVE that amalgams or metal restorations are the cause of their headaches, fatigue or whatever symptoms, then removing them will definitely cure them. That's how faith healing works.

The only reason why I don't use amalgam in my practice is because I do cosmetic dentistry. If the patient does not mind the colour, amalgam is definitely a superior direct filling material for Class 2 and subgingival preps. I have absolutely no qualms about having that done for myself or any member of my family.

Toxicity? Sure, some people are affected by amalgams and anything can be toxic to somebody, but let's not forget that these cases are extremely rare (perhaps less than 10 on this planet and most of them would be Chinese). There are literally thousands of tests and studies establishing amalgams as safe filling materials over the last 100 years. There are numerous reputable studies that show how safe amalgams are. If Dr Breiner has been to Asia where we have much healthier diets and lifestyles, he may notice that we also have many healthy 70 to 90-year-old Asian men and women who have gold and amalgam-filled teeth in their mouths.

Being knowledgeable in TCM, I can tell the gullible supporters of this book that his sloppy diagram on acupuncture meridians is completely inaccurate and drawn by someone who has no knowledge of acupuncture whatsoever! How easy it is to con people with misinformation from the exotic East.

Are composites totally safe? The incidence of allergic reactions to composites (very low) is higher than that of amalgam toxicity. This is something the author failed to inform us. All his anecdotal evidence are almost laughable as they are not supported by independent studies and sceptical parties. One patient is even under psychiatric care. Not one case he mentioned can be conclusively attributed to amalgam. Mercury can be very toxic, but after tituration and amalgamation, the metal remains in the solid state and is not absorbed by the body. It's different from inhaling mercury vapour daily, injecting or ingesting mercury or mercuric compounds.

The issue of cavitation is also invalid. Dr Breiner shows us a few blurry xrays with apparent radiolucencies and tells us they are cavitations. What histological analysis did he do to confirm that it's of periodontal origin? Does Dr Briener even understand the basic science of what happens to periodontal ligaments after an extraction? Most patients wouldn't know - which is why it is so easy to cheat them with non-factual, unsupported theories. I can almost guarantee that if he does a CT scan on the jaws, the "cavitations" on his blurred OPGs would all "disappear".

What about his "whole body" approach to orthodontics? He shows us 2 sets of pictures of identical twins, one having undergone conventional ortho and one having undergone MPA/HT treatment. Well, where are the stone models? Let's have a closer look at the teeth in occlusion. How different are they? How did he manage to correct crowding without extractions? There are only competent orthodontists and incompetent ones. It's doesn't matter if they use conventional orthodontics. Properly done, the approach and outcome can be equally holistic and the patient will not have TMJ problems.

Especially shocking to the profession, must be Dr Briener's report on the canine tooth that "righted itself" after the chiropractor put her body in perfect alignment. This is something that made every one of my chiropractor friends laugh out loud. Why didn't Dr Briener publish this miraculous finding in a journal? Could it be that the case somehow cannot be replicated in an objectively scrutinised environment?

Propagating such beliefs will only spark panic, paranoia and various psychosomatic "illnesses". Worse, many patients may seek unnecessary and possibly invasive treatment for things like "cavitation". Following Breiner's protocols for "detox", patients will only be paying a fortune for otherwise very simple dental work. Make no mistake about it, this book actually recommends more unnecessary procedures than your average money-driven dentist.

There is one basic flaw in this voting system. People who gravitate towards these pages are those who support the book. The reviewer who writes anything negative not only needs to review the book, he actually needs to convince the brainwashed fans here that their idol is wrong. Democracy rules here and the majority is right even when it's wrong.

Fats: The "Bad Guys" in Your Diet

Fats pack more than twice the calories into every gram than either protein or carbohydrates. Recent studies show that it's the amount of fat you eat that will determine your weight. In addition, a high fat diet increases your risk of heart disease and cancer. The American Heart Association and the National Cancer Institute recommend you get no more than 30 percent of your daily calories from fat. The Quick and Easy Fat Gram & Calorie Counter will show you how.

Count Fat Grams for Healthy Weight Loss

It's easy! Tired of balancing calories, cholesterol, fat, and fiber intake? Just count fat grams and everything else will fall into place. The Quick and Easy Fat Gram & Calorie Counter does all the work for you.

Editorial Review:

Much more than a cookbook, Low Protein Cookery for Phenylketonuria (PKU) is a practical and easy-to-use guide for those who must maintain a protein-restricted diet for treatment of PKU or similar inherited diseases of protein metabolism. It contains hundreds of helpful suggestions for managing the diet. This third edition of Low Protein Cookery for PKU appears exactly twenty years after the original 1977 publication and includes the 450-plus recipes and the hints from the 1988 second edition that have been used and enjoyed by families for nearly a decade. The major new feature of the third edition is entirely new nutrient calculations. The available food supply has changed significantly in the past fifteen years, and nutrient information is much better now. The nutrient calculations in this edition of the cookbook are based on the updated 1995 Low Protein Food List for PKU compiled by the author, which is the most widely used food list for the PKU diet in the United States. Some of the changes in nutrient values are subtle, others more significant; all reflect the best information currently available. Low Protein Cookery for PKU offers recipes that appeal to a wide range of ages, suit a wide range of individual diet requirements, and facilitate integration of the diet into normal family eating routines. Many of the recipes are suitable for the entire family; others include instructions for adapting the recipe to suit the needs of family members not on the diet, or are accompanied by recipes for the preparation of similar non-diet items. The recipes provide gram weights when appropriate, for greater accuracy in preparing the recipes and in maintaining the diet. A useful and extensive set of ideas for use by professionals, which may be adapted for their own patients, to provide more variety in a specialized diet.Journal of Inherited Metabolic Disease The author is well aware of the difficulties and time necessary for preparation of a special diet. Most of the recipes are simple and easy to prepare. . . . The chapter on Everyday Tips is enormously helpful in storing and freezing, planning meals, and generally assisting the cook to manage a special diet.Academic Library Book Review

Editorial Review:

"The Culprit and the Cure is a clear beacon of simple and understandable truth in a sea of commercially motivated hype," said Troy B. Adams, Ph.D. FAWHP at Arizona State University. "Finally a book that gets to the heart of good health in a light-hearted but scientifically supported way. Every individual with children, employees or patients should read and distribute this book."

Everyone seems to know that exercise and a healthy diet make a difference in preventing chronic diseases, but knowing and doing often don't go together. How can the average person get the information they need to make effective lifestyle changes in diet and exercise? In The Culprit and the Cure, nationally known researcher and author Dr. Steven Aldana of Brigham Young University shows how a healthy lifestyle results in drastic improvements in health risks in as little as 6 weeks, and how to get there.

Once you understand why your current lifestyle is causing poor health and see what is meant by good nutrition and physical activity, you will be more ready to change your behaviors. By learning how to change, you start on the road to better health. Dr. Aldana gleaned research from around the globe covering the areas of diet, disease, lifestyle, and healthy behaviors to provide a practical guide to making the changes science has proven will lead to better health and longer life. In an entertaining, easy to understand, and convincing manner, The Culprit and the Cure presents the evidence, makes recommendations, and provides strategies to help even the least disciplined achieve a better quality of life. Individuals gain an understanding of why good nutrition and physical activity are vital to long-term health and preventing chronic diseases, making it easier to implement the book’s strategies for effective, permanent lifestyle changes.

"If you're looking for the path that leads to a long and healthy life, the definitive map is between the covers of this book! Brilliant! " said Dr. David Hunnicutt, president, Wellness Councils of America.

WASTE 1 out of 5 stars.
18 of 19 people found this review helpful.

I purchased this book because I was looking for a quick reference calorie guide. I recently started keeping a food journal and needed something I could carry around in my purse. The book is useless, it only includes calorie counts for prepackaged food. Why would I want that? Prepackaged food already has the calorie counts on the packages. I would use the Calorie King book. Infinitely better and more compact.

Editorial Review:

In May 2001, the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) will break a major pizza story on the ABC television program 20/20 and once again capture front-page headlines, just as it did when it released studies on movie popcorn and take-out Chinese food. Published to coincide with this story is Restaurant Confidential, in which Dr. Michael F. Jacobson and his CSPI team do for sit-down meals what their Fast-Food Guide--with 247,000 copies in print--does for fast food.Belgian Waffle or Rib-Eye Steak? Bloomin' Onion or Mrs. Fields's Double-Fudge Brownie? Americans are now eating almost one-third of their meals outside the home, spending $222 billion annually doing so-and watching their waistlines balloon. What's in this food? To answer, CSPI performs across-the-board restaurant profiles that give straight-shooting scientific data on the fat, sodium, and calorie content of the most popular dishes. The information is organized by type of cuisine--Chinese, Mexican, steak house, and more--and covers all the major chains, such as The Olive Garden, Applebee's, and Outback. The book provides specific eating strategies for every kind of restaurant, as well as shocking facts: Did you know that a typical order of stuffed potato skins packs a whopping 1,260 calories and 48 grams--two days' worth--of saturated fat? A 10-point plan for ordering wisely, plus dozens of tips throughout, takes the information one step further by showing how to eat happily and healthfully. It's the nutrition book that reads like a thriller. Take the steak and brownies; a whole fried onion with dipping sauce has a blooming 163 grams of fat, and the seemingly innocent Belgian waffle with whipped topping and fruit has even more fat and calories than two sirloin steaks.
