Book Reviews of LifeForce: A Dynamic Plan For Health, Vitality and Weight LosBook Review: Truly valuable approach for health Summary: 5 Stars
Reviewed by Cherie Fisher for Reader Views (1/07)
Sometimes a book shows up in your life just as you really need it. I believe that is what happened with this book. My closest friend has been having a really hard time with her health. I have been trying to figure out how someone so physically fit can have all of these problems at the age of 44. And how could they all not be related somehow? Then I received "Lifeforce: A Dynamic Plan for Health, Vitality and Weight Loss." The author, Dr. McCombs, main premise is that the human body starts to break down because they are overloaded with toxins, primarily from overuse of antibiotics. His book offers a natural 17-week plan to detoxify the body and help rid the body of disease and other health issues. Overall results include weight loss, vastly improved vitality and reverse aging. That all sounded great to me as I read on.
On page 4 of the book I was truly floored when Dr. McCombs listed the symptoms for a body that is overloaded with toxins. The symptoms include: digestive problems, endocrine (hormonal) systems, urinary tract, psychological health, immune system, musculoskeletal system and skin conditions. Of the many listed symptoms, my friend has several of them including lupus and the most recent diagnosis of heart muscle damage (she just found out that she needs a pacemaker). And I also found myself described in a few of the categories, especially in the category of joint swelling and pain.
When I first read the plan, I immediately started listing all the reasons why I could not participate in the program and quickly realized that the potential benefits far outweigh the things that I would have to give up for a relatively short period of time. The plan is 17-weeks long, but most restrictive during the first 8 weeks when the "Yes" food group list includes all meats, except pork, all vegetables (potatoes included!!!), fruits (except oranges), eggs, brown rice, plain rice cakes, hot brown rice cereal and tea and coffee. The "No" food group includes all sugars, yeast, dairy, all grains, dried fruit, fruit juices, sweet vegetable juices, nuts, legumes, popcorn, soy sauce, vinegar, breads, pastas, chips, milk substitutes and alcohol. At first I was put off by the restrictions, but as I kept reading I realized that I really can eat a lot on this plan and the "no" foods start being reintroduced after the eighth week. Along with the diet, there is a supplement, pure water intake and sweating (baths or saunas), plan that has to be followed to allow for a proper detoxification.
The "Lifeforce" plan is a one-time deal, but Dr. McCombs does have a suggested maintenance plan to follow to enjoy optimal success. After reading his book and visiting his website, I have committed myself to following this detoxification plan and ordered the supplements. My friend is studying the program now and considering this as her next course of action. I probably should be writing this review four months from now with my results! I highly recommend this book to people who are looking to optimize their health through using a good, commonsense approach.
Summary of LifeForce: A Dynamic Plan For Health, Vitality and Weight LosLifeForce by Chiropractor Jeffrey S. McCombs outlines a simple and effective approach to preventing and overcoming disease, illness, and other health concerns that has been used by many of the author's patients. The LifeForce Plan is a potent tool for detoxifying the body, reestablishing the normal flora of the tissues, and reawakening the body's innate ability to regulate, balance, and protect itself. It teaches us how to activate the endless life-force potential that resides in every cell of our bodies. The seemingly miraculous results are achieved through a time-proven approach to reversing the ravaging effects that antibiotics have had on our bodies. Though antibiotics are useful, it is their worldwide overuse, misuse, and general application that have produced a devastating imbalance. The LifeForce Plan reverses that imbalance and restores the regenerative, life-enhancing cycle of the body, as the dominant cycle over the degenerative, "aging" cycle. The Plan succeeds where other anti-Candida diets have continuously failed, due to key fundamental insights, and it also provides a way to balance the effects of antibiotics when their judicious use is necessary. This is not intended to be a typical diet book. It offers a way to achieve better "biofeedback" from the body that will enable you to make dietary choices that will work for you. The Plan is a "bridge" back to an optimal state of health for our bodies.
