What Your Doctor Doesn't Know About Nutritional Medicine May Be Killing You

The book is printed in 2002, but I must say that it’s hard to that it would be different if it first was printed this year, this because the antioxidant advises nearly is up to date, and because unfortunately still most doctors still don’t understand the importance in natural antioxidants, but instead blindly only trusts drugs. Still we read that only 7 % of doctors learn about vitamins and minerals, and that doctors tend to look at nutrients as being drugs.Even though I own around 300 doctors and health books I still by this book found important information. Especially I now see how helpful, and important, the Grape seed extract is in many sickness cases, besides by increasing the results from the vitamins and minerals. And when I then looked in my other books after Grape seed extract I found that I had forgotten what I earlier there had read as I nearly found nothing about it. And actually I’m going to buy Grape seed extract, to see if it can help in solving some of the problems which my wife during some years has talked about.In the book is interesting to read that when Ray was studied medical then the cholesterol level less than 320 was considered being normal, while now it the has fallen to 200, but that this in reality being a misunderstanding about LDL, as LDL is very healthy except for part of it which might have been oxidized. So only seldom the problem is the total cholesterol number, but instead id there are some oxidized LDL; just like we have the oxidizing problem to watch for throughout the body.Among other it’s delightful in the book to read the many cases, as most of these being truly amazing. For example, in the diabetes chapter we read about Joe whose ratio triglyceride / HDL was 40, by the cholesterol measure, while not allowed being higher than 2, if preventing diabetes. And then by changing his lifestyle after just 12 weeks his triticale ratio already had been turned down to only 2.5.But by in the book reading about the doctor misbelief in nutritional medicine, I clearly recall my own battle with doctors here in Chiang Mai, during now 13 years, mostly concerning the way in which they blindly believe to cures cholesterol and cancer. For example, when I back in 2011 received the book by Cohen, Suzy, RPH.: “Drug Muggers: Which Medications are Robbing Your Body of Essential Nutrients”, I then discovered that the drug which a doctor had put me on against stress, not was good for persons eating banana, or rice, which I daily are getting. I shoved the book to the doctor, but it didn’t chance anything in the hospital, the drug continued in being giving to patients. And I also from the book Burt Berkson, MD, PhD.: “The Alpha Lipoic Acid Breakthrough”, recalled how he would have been fired, hadn’t it come to the news, after he 2 * 2 times had saved the life of patients, poisoned by fungi, because he used ALA, (Alpha linolenic acid), which the hospital didn’t know about.

As has often been observed, medical information is like electronics, out of date as soon as it is issued. This is profoundly true of the integrated and alternative medicine fields. The area is increasing in popularity as desperate people turn to what offers hope instead of years of suffering and symptom suppression and side effects.I bought this book despite the title, which sounds like something from the Nat'l Inq. Since it was published in 2002, I did not expect much. I ended up reading it cover to cover.The reason, of course, is that this is one of the early books that identified systemic inflammation and its causes and effects. I have a lot of books on inflammation, but none of them presents this simple baseline program for dealing with disease. They all have their places, but this and Phyllis Balch's Prescription for Nutritional Healing No. 4 will be the foundation of my personal research. I can add on things as they are developed, and glean the rest of my huge and growing library for specifics and new developments, now that there is a sturdy base.I might add that one of the things that impressed me was the author's conservative approach. At first, I kept asking myself why he did not touch on so many wonderful discoveries up to 2002, but then I realized that 1) he only advised what he as a very skeptical doctor felt comfortable with, and 2) because of that approach, I felt comfortable with what he did select.All of us know by now the tremendous financial drains of the so-called medical studies that must be produced for mainline medicine, the ease with which even these go off track, and the unremarkable fact that food-based supplements would cost as much as drugs if they were tested in the same manner. I can only hope that enlightened researchers will come up with less expensive and a lot more dependable study systems in future. The system we have lets powerful drugs pass until they kill a lot of people and have to be withdrawn, and allows a lot of just plain wisdom like this to be ignored or dismissed as irrelevant or punished.This may not be the latest book published, but it is a good fundamental program that has been built on by a lot of authors and doctors. It will stand the test of time. I am glad I bought this book, and I am giving it as a gift to friends. Basic reference.

Know that most Doctors receive very little or no education about the role of nutrition, exercise, stress etc. Most of our modern diseases- diabetes, heart disease, auto immune disorders, arthritis etc are due to poor nutrition, unremitting stress, too little sleep,lack of exercise, environmental toxins, poor gut health. This doctor had a wife who was sick and all the doctors he know couldn't help her. A friend stepped in with some nutritional supplements and she got well. Needless to say he began to add the nutritional training to his profession he lacked and has become a much more successful doctor as a result. For all you Doctors out there we want to address the root cause of our sickness not just manage it with prescriptions.My daughter had a life threatening case of Lupus when she was 21. Now(30 years)she only takes a tiny bit of medicine and she continues to improve. Take charge of your healthy, read a lot from credible sources and take action to improve the way you take care of your body and you won't be using your health insurance except for emergencies like accidents.

I used to think nutritional supplements were a complete waste of time and money. But as part of some research I was doing for a book I've written on a large-scale self-healing project, I stumbled upon this information and it was shocking, to be honest. I was halfway through it when I found myself investigating specific items that applied to my own circumstances, and before long I was at a health food shop, buying a selection of 'goodies' that I must confess have made a big difference in my previously ill health.The book is an easy read and is filled with fact-based information, followed up with specific case studies. You don't need to be ill to read it or use the information in it; in fact, you're better off reading it to prevent illness. Do yourself a huge favour and read it, or buy it for anyone you think might be interested.

a lot of very useful information in here that I have also been reading about in other nutritional books and this backs up,or is backed up by other research. I would recommend reading it in (excuse the pun) bite size chunks, to enable the information to sink in as there is a LOT of information in this book. I have learned a lot and have recommended it to friends whose health, like mine, is not what it should be. not dismissive of conventional medicine, but an alternative viewpoint to work in parallel until symptoms clear.

Received in near new condition, very clean, superb value and excellent content to help me better understand my health and self care

WOW!!! This book is amazing. It is such an eye opener and so true. I read the book over 2 years ago and am only writing my review now. I have adopted so many of Dr. Ray's teachings and am amazed at the change in my family's health. My parents and in-laws have read this book and have changed how they take their vitamins and the kind of vitamins they take and it has transformed their lives. Thank yo u for being so frank Dr. Ray!!!

I like everything about this book
