Good Advice If Used Properly

Dr. Weil has always given good advice. Alot of it is common sense, which is in short supply nowadays.

I would like to comment on others that have said that Dr. Weil is against weight lifting. This is 100% untrue. He is not against weight lifting or strength training. He disagrees with bodybuilding to the extent that it's more about appearance than health. He states in his book that women who do weight-bearing exercises have better protection against calcium loss and osteoporosis and have increased metabolism.

There is no author/doctor that you should blindly follow. Do your own homework and use peoples' advice where it best fits your own situation. Read a variety of authors such as Dr. Weil, Gary Null and others. Learn about your own situation and what would be best for you to do. Sometimes natural health is the way to go and sometimes you need a conventional doctor. Even Dr. Weil will tell you that! :)

I really liked it

I really liked this book, it told a lot about alternative health that openend my eyes. It is amazing how much more options are out there besides the "allopathic" approach.

Don't consult this book!

Not too long ago Mr. Weil appeared on a television show giving healthy eating tips. It was apparent that Mr.Weil was carrying lots of extra weight while the interviewers were trim. Wake up America, this guy is bogus. This book is especially riddled with bad advice. He totally denigrates any weight-lifting (crucial for women to elevate their metabolism and ensure healthy bone mass). He also advocates trimming your protein consumption to a bare minimum. Current wisdom is shifting to the value of good supplies of low-fat protein. Don't buy this book.
