Customer Response

Very Infomative!
This book is very informative, it gives information on how to care for the elimination channels in the body and what the purposes are of these channels. It is very easy reading, not like a medical text book that you need a dictionary to decipher every other word. To the user that said that it is very restrictive, I really think that you are wrong, if you are pertaining to the breakfast, lunch section where he tells you what to eat, it may seem so, if you don't know what else to use. You can find the grains at a regular health foodstore, and you can buy it in bulk, like I do, and have always done, that way you come out cheaper, as far as the herb teas, that too, you can buy from a herb company in bulk, and you will come out far cheaper, than buying a little box of tea for $4-5, you can buy a pound of herbs for that price! Ameriherb is a good, cheap company that sells bulk herbs, it's the company that I use and love, give it a try before complaining. I would much rather buy Millet, Quinoa, buckwheat in bulk and spend a little money towards my health, than to buy cheap, unhealthy, degenerative, highly processed food that you pick up in the frozen section for which after I would have to pay $ thousands of dollars, because I have to go to the hospital because of clogged arteries, diabeties,etc.. just because I ate it. To all considering this book, get it, get it, get it, if you can't follow to a "T" the menu guidelines, like I am not always able to do, then substitute with something else that is equally healthy! You don't have to have Millet on monday, be creative, it is just a guideline, not a rule. And for the dried fruits,I prefer fresh all the time, they are cheaper and more healthier than dried, highly sweet fruits. If you suffer from Candida like I do, then skip the dried fruits completely, you can eat grape fruit, apples that are not very sweet and kiwi.
I hope that this info was very helpful, and did cast a positive light on this book. oh as for the info for the sland board, the sland board helps to, with the aid of gravity, put your organs back in place example a prolapsed uterus, or colon.

Quite a Little Gem!
Although small, this book packs everything you need to know about how to be healthy. When I read the part about the slant board I promptly laid in that position for a few minutes and felt like a weight had been lifted off me. His health laws are right on and if everyone followed these laws, they'd enjoy supreme health.

Too restrictive for less than the extremist!!
I have read many books on nutrition, and have been through some restrictive programs in my day, but this book is WAY beyond restrictive. I became dizzy with all the information and the do's and the don'ts, and the how's and the why's. This book is supposed to be a "daily regimen for healthy living", yet it outlines a time-consuming schedule of not only how and what to eat, but he also tells the reader that they need to "brush" their skin daily, what kind of clothes to wear, how and when to take a shower, and drink "Veal Joint Broth" -- it's almost maddening to read the book and even more maddening to think of my life lived in such intensity and restriction! When I got to the "suggested" menus, I finally knew that this "regimen" was not for me. Except for fresh fruits and vegetables, almost all menu items can only be found in a high-end health food store, so if you shop at a regular food chain store like me, or depend on a realistic food budget (don't we all?) -- then this book isn't for you either! If you drink "Dandelion Coffee", eat "Baked Carrot Loaf" or "Muesli with Goat's Milk", then this book is for you. Dr. Jensen gives the same sound advice as others do (e.g. eat fresh fruits and veggies, exercise, drink plenty of water and get good rest, etc.), but it is his sound advice taken to the extreme. How can we balance work, kids, home, church, friends, social life -- and then have the time, or energy, to live by his extremely structured regimen? This may have helped many, or only just a few, but I sure wish I had seen this kind of review before I bought this book.

Good Book
I have read most of Bernard Jensen's books and reviewed dozens of other health books over several years. This book as most of the other Jensen books all have some things that the others do not. It may be in the elaboration of the information, the subject itself or the manner of explaining some aspect of nutrition or the body, but all the information serves to reinforce. I am well pleased with this book in particular as it addressed 'slant board' use, missing nutrients in the foods commonly eaten, when to eat what types of whole foods. The four and a half pages on the lymph drainage system is worth the price of the book all by itself.

Dr. Jensen lived to be an old guy with excellent health who unlike many of todays health 'professional's' practiced what he preached and had a large crowd of healed folks thanks to his knowledge and wisdom acquired over decades of practice at his 'health ranch'. As the owner of Dr. Jensens books I re read them often as I continue to find additional morsels I had forgotten or overlooked before. What a delight having a Jensen library.

Enjoy your new read !

Thanks, Dr. Jensen
One of the best books I read about Nutrition. Buy it and you'll not be sorry. :-)
