Not written by a Medical Doctor
This book has alot of good information but be aware that Dr. Andrew is NOT a medical doctor but a chiropractor. This is misleading in that there are references to his training included in the book, but never mentions that he is a chiropractor. He does mention that people should check with their medical doctors before making some of the changes recommeded in the book and I am glad that he does. There are references to much of the information contained in the book and the overall message is clear, just check with your medical doctor.

Good book, but some soggy science in places
My wife and I are fifty-somethings in need of more HDL and less of everything else. We get regular check-ups, eat reasonably well, don't smoke, don't drink, etc. However, we find that our relationship with the doctor is usually symptom-fixing, not prevention. So we bought this book. It's a good book, full of good information on nutrition and health, based in the idea that the body is constantly replacing itself so you want to provide the best materials with which to do it. It collects many of the more recent studies and research findings. Dr. Andrew also pays attention to the important but oft overlooked effects of mind health on bodily health.

BUT, then I find a tip about wearing a magnet to ward off the effects of electromagnetic radiation from your microwave and to increase your energy by "50%". I'm no doctor but I am an electrical engineer with more than a passing knowledge of E-M fields. I read this tip and my heart sank. "Oh great,another New Age quack." (Hint: blood is not magnetic, and even if your microwave was leaking, a magnet wouldn't stop it from shining radio waves on you any more than it would stop a lamp's light.) There are other conclusions, such as the alleged production of trans-fats during cooking with olive oil, that are vigorously disputed by other authorities. In short, Dr. Andrew seems to have assembled a rather mixed bag of the good with the strange, good science with bad science. Would I recommend the book? Yes, because it will lead you to study many things you might have otherwise overlooked and I believe that your health would be much better off by following the advice inside. But do your homework before applying some of it.

This is a great book!
I am enjoying this book and all the information it gives for getting fit and being healthy. It is written with simplicity and Dr. Asa gives you encouragement to actually put it into action in your own life. The choice is yours... as he asks us using Scripture, "Do you want to be well?" and then "What are you willing to do?" It's up to you... I'm willing to drive to Tennessee and have Dr. Asa diagnos me using his Health Triangle.

Everyone Should Read!
This book is awesome! Its full of useful recommendations and it helps you how to really get to the ROOT of your illness or disease. Its a natural look at medicine and I think that is important when you are prescribed a lot of different meds. This book is a must read for anyone, young and old!!! Dr. Asa knows his stuff!

Empowering Your Health
I really loved reading this book. It is an excellent resource, information is explained in an easy to understand way. I also believe the recommendations are attainable, some health books I've read leave you feeling depressed that its all to hard, but not this book it is great. I would strongly recommend it to people who have an interest or desire to change their health for the better.
