I love this book for this reason – It makes sense. The immune system takes care of you, the liver takes care of the immune system, and the food you eat takes care of the liver. Thus Healthy Liver = Healthy YOU! Does that make sense to you? Most people never even think about their liver! They think of “burning fat” but they don’t know what that means. They think of “counting calories” – but counting calories is not a nutritional approach to anything. A calorie is simply a unit of measure. Which is healthier 250 calories from refined white sugar or 250 calories from a salad of tossed greens? See the logic in counting calories? There is none. The latest trend of course is counting carbs? Why? Do you know the exact ratio of carbs to fats to proteins at which you body type will operate optimally? Neither do I! So you may be counting carbs and actually causing more harm than good. What kind of diet is that?

Dr. Cabot’s book is about CLEANING THE LIVER, let me say that again CLEANING THE LIVER. Now you see why it makes sense. Clean your liver and let you body take care of itself. The “Diet” isn’t about losing weight (but it will certainly do that for those of you who are overweight and eating the “wrong” foods) it’s about HEALTH. A clean, healthy, functioning liver will take care of you. And the only real way to get your liver it’s healthiest is by feeding it the foods it needs to do it’s job. READ THIS BOOK AND FIND OUT WHAT YOU NEED TO BE EATING. It’s easy, understandable reading. It took me about 3 hours. You may need to go buy a coffee grinder or a food processor, but it’s worth it. How many of you would spend 3 hours of your time and less than $20 for a book that can dramatically improve your health and extend your life? I think most of you. Of all the books I’ve read on Nutrition I’ve found this to be most beneficial.

Dr. Pratt’s 14 Superfoods include Soy (Which in my opinion should not be consumed) – I won’t get into my reasons but they have to do with Big corporate dollars and the advertising machine. Soy has many many downsides which you can research yourself online. Another of his Superfoods is Yogurt, which is a dairy derivative (although it can be made from other types of milk and soy). Dairy has so many potential health risks – again I’ll let you do your own research. Salmon is listed as a SuperFood, but those of you adverse to Mercury would be well advised to avoid fish, especially farmed fish fed food pellets.

Overall the book is good reading and he lays out a convincing case for his choice of foods (which coincidently or not are showing up in government literature to some extent). Chicken or egg who borrowed from whom? Who cares, doesn’t matter. It’s a good read and can form a solid basis for some of the foods you should be including in your everyday diet.

Now I am neither a genius nor a dullard, but I can tell you this book is written as a reference not a step-by-step “How To”. Anyone who believes they have Amalgam Poisoning needs to get this book and GET IT FAST. If you are too ill to read it yourself get a compassionate (And that means a person who is on your side and will back you no matter what) friend or relative to read it for you or with you. This book is designed as an aid for both you and your doctor (and how to find a doctor that is willing to help) to discover if you really do have Amalgam Illness and how it can be treated so you can be cured. The key is determining if you really have the Amalgam Illness.

Personally I purchased and read this book because I had over 21 Amalgam surfaces in my mouth (in 13 teeth some as old as 24 years). There are specific protocols that MUST be followed by your dentist when removing Amalgam. When you see the word Amalgam I recommend you think DANGER! Removal is not to be taken lightly. Again this is not the place to discuss removal protocol, it’s about the book. I found the book invaluable in helping me decide how to proceed. I chose to have all my Amalgam removed and replaced with composite materials. While I do not believe I have/had full blown Amalgam illness I do believe that I was showing some signs of potential mercury poisoning. After learning what I could about the potential problems caused by mercury (And this book will outline plenty of dangers and how they effect the biochemistry of the body) I chose to take the safe course, follow protocol and get them the hell out of my mouth. You’ll have to decide for yourself. But if there is even the slightest bit of doubt buy this book and read it as soon as you can. Dr. Cutler is not just a noted Chemist he’s a survivor of Amalgam Illness, and while he doesn’t write it full blown Dr. Terms he also doesn’t write in a manner that is too difficult to understand. Had you been assigned this book to read in High School Chemistry it would bore you, but if you think you have Amalgam illness you will devour it like I did.

This book is also meant to be used by your doctor to help determine if you have the illness, to what extent, and how to cure your of the disease. Please take special note: This is a real disease (The ADA can kiss my rosy red ass) that does affect a small percentage of the population, and there is hope. It’s tough to get help in a climate of ignorance and denial, but this is help so don’t turn it away.

“Those who say it can not be done should not get in the way of people doing it.”

Atkins Health Book Review: I do not know where the saying comes from, but feel it applicable to Dr. Atkins philosophy and his diet materials. While many would call Dr. Atkins a “Quack” among other things, they are missing the point of the book. The point is there are ways to change your body’s metabolism to burn more fat. This is done through the reduction of carbohydrates. This is not the only way to lose weight of course, there are many variables that we will not get into. I enjoyed this book, although there is no way I would attempt to completely follow his diet, because I personally do not find it to be nutritionally balanced for my own needs.

Don’t get me wrong, while many would poo poo away Dr. Atkins work as nutritionally dangerous (And it might be) they are missing the point again. The point is there are nutritional ways to change your diet. Now I don’t personally believe that Dr. Atkins ever intended anyone to eat a half dozen eggs and a pound of bacon everyday for the rest of their lives (perhaps I’m wrong, I never met the doctor and he did die of a heart attack at age 72 – attributed by his family as being due to a virus).

I believe many will benefit from this book as it offers hope and information on how to change your metabolism. You take a little something from everything you read. There is no doubt Dr. Atkins work has had a huge impact on pop culture and the diet craze that seems to never end. Decide for yourself. There is information within that I found worth knowing. Please as with all diets, you should contact your doctor and work out a plan with them. The trick of course is finding a Doctor that will really listen to you and work with you instead of the egotistical “Dr. Knows” best approach. You’ll know the difference when you talk to them.
