This MAN does not understand estrogen at all. 2 out of 5 stars.
19 of 30 people found this review helpful.

This MAN does not understand estrogen at all. It is sad that so many women are apparently putting their health into his hands. The reason why so many women and good clinicians are avoiding products like Tri-est is because these products don't feed our bodies the necessary estrogens that our bodies actually produce from our ovaries. Giving women estriol and estrone just blocks our receptors from receiving the necessary and most important E2-estradiol. Our bodies will then metabolize the E2 into the others naturally. Research supports this aspect clearly. The other thing about this guy and his book is that he bounces everything he says off of premarin studies and does not keep the information flow consistent one way or another.

Most women getting on bio-identical hormones these days have never used premarin and want good research or clinical comparatives to support their choices with regards to bio-identicals. This book does not provide either good knowledge or research. Additionally, this book is quite disappointing for one that Amazon places so highly in their search engine.

Instead, I would recommend Wiley's book for the radical approach to understanding what it is we actually want to achieve with our bio-identicals, and Reiss's book for good information on how to monitor ourselves when using bio-identicals. However, Reiss, (another boy doctor) is also a proponent of Tri-est, probably because its just easier for him to prescribe.

Once our female clinicians have really worked out the bio-identicals that are working well for us, then we will all have great data to support our choices. In the meantime, avoid this book.

Editorial Review:

A book showing that natural hormone replacement offers a safe and effective alternative for the treatment of menopause.

Look For Better Choice 3 out of 5 stars.
8 of 11 people found this review helpful.

The basic idea of avoiding certain foods that aren't good for the body is worthwhile. However, the book rambles in information that isn't that helpful. The key is eating more vegetables and fruits and avoiding mucus causing foods. An internet search may give you the quick information of this and you can skip this book. Also, books that deal with getting rid of inflamation in the body will be helpful. It is amazing how many diseases and ailments can be healed by changing what we eat... choose well for a healing fountain of youth!

Interesting read, somewhat outdated. 3 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

I follow a relatively strict, vegan eating regime, so his method is not even as strict as mine. If you are trying to make a change from the average american, carnivore way of eating, this is not the book for you. Read it only if you are very serious and dedicated about your diet and nutritional habits.

Mucusless Diet Healing System 5 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

This book gives a detailed diet for healing through fasting and dietary modification. Far ahead of his time in developing low fat/low carb diets.

The dynamic tension exercises are easy and very helpful, like a quick 'adjustment', but with you in control.

Dr. Ehret's 'new' physiology, with the lungs as the PUMP and the heart as a valve, give new understanding to our physical problems and how the body really works.

His untimely death was a great loss to our world, since his message is capable of redirecting our habits and culture to a much better world of health and longevity.

Editorial Review:

Edgar Cayce left behind a legacy of psychic readings, two-thirds of which dealt with physical illnesses and what might be done to restore the body to health. Throughout his suggestions on ways to correct these conditions, Cayce spoke volumes about diet. He saw certain food combinations as helpful, some as harmful. His theme throughout the readings was keep the body and its functions balanced—often by using nutrition.

This book gives readers a useful and practical source of information regarding what constructive eating is all about. It is written especially for those who are interested in seeking out their life purpose, in maintaining health, and in overcoming illnesses.

Readers will learn the importance of stress, attitudes, emotions, beliefs, habits, prayer, and meditation, and how they affect the use of food by the body and the ultimate effect it has on general health.

The diet you need for full health is as unique as you are. This book will show you how to search creatively for the diet that will suit you best.

I enjoy New Age books that leave out the doctor. This one is
perfect because it's so sensible. You can look up any problem
you have and find out the foods to rectify same, constipation,
arthritis, etc. There's no reason people should be obese in
this day and age. One should not live to eat but eat to live,
and this book proves that perfectly since food is necessary to
keep the body and brain and spirit in good working order. That
can only happen when you know what to eat. Excellent!
