Book Reviews of Never Be Sick Again: Health is a Choice, Learn How to Choose ItBook Review: I'm skeptical of this book. Summary: 2 StarsI purchased this book because of the initial positive reviews on Amazon, but then something occurred to me after buying. Why do 95% of the customer reviewers giving gushingly positive reviews that this is the best book since the Bible, have only one review to their profiles? Makes me a bit suspicious.
But back to the book. The main point of the book is that deficiencies and toxicity to our cells is the main cause of illness. Unfortunately, everything from coffee, milk, sugar, flour, pasta, processed foods, combining orange juice with eggs, commercial hormone soaked meats, paint, televisions, canned tuna fish, prescription drugs, to contact lenses causes sickness and death. While I do agree completely that most of the listed do, in fact, cause eventual sickness, it was hard for me to find anything I wanted to eat the next morning in the refridge that I didn't think would kill me. But I guess that is the point, that our American diets are what is killing us and we need to change.
But here lies my problem with the book, the lack of any substantial suggestions of how to eat properly other then "eating raw and organic foods". I would have appreciated more suggestions and examples of recipes to eat and ways of making my life more healthy rather then just making me feel that everything I wear, see, eat, and smell is killing me.
I am open minded and on the alternative medicine train (I purchased Vegetable Gardener's Bible & The Gerson Therapy as well), so I wanted to believe the content of Never Be Sick Again. But a main belief and example the author uses is the Hunza tribe in the Himalayas that we are told are "free from disease and regularly live to the age of 140 years". Hmmmm. Hard to believe. After doing a bit of research I found another opinion:
"The Hunzakuts were not extremely healthy as many claim. The Mir told Renee Taylor that the people were free of all diseases. This was not true. The Hunzakuts were always disease ridden AND the death rate was very high as observed by John Clark 10 years before the arrival of Renee Taylor. Clark was met by hordes of (Hunza)sick people who were seeking medical attention in every village he visited. He diagnosed many diseases AND treated those whom he could help."
I will say that there are some beneficial, yet mainly common sense warnings of things to avoid to make your life more healthy. But if Raymond Franci's main example(he refers to the Hunza tribe constantly) of a people/lifestyle of optimal health has been shown to be an untrue myth, how much else are we expected to believe?
Summary of Never Be Sick Again: Health is a Choice, Learn How to Choose ItHealth Is a Choice . . . Elizabeth had chronic fatigue for eight years and suffered from debilitating arthritis for which she took powerful pain medications. Despite numerous trips to medical doctors and alternative practitioners, her pain and exhaustion left her unable to work. Then she learned about Ray Francis's miraculous work. Within a few months, her pain was gone and her energy soared. A year later she returned to work, making a six-figure income. "Raymond gave me my life back," she said. Albert suffered from "untreatable" depression for nearly ten years, which left him suicidal. After meeting Ray Francis, Albert learned that his diet of processed foods and addiction to sugar were the crux of his problem. Within one week after implementing Francis's eating plan, he felt better physically and looked forward to a long, healthy life. Three-year-old Anne experienced inexplicable seizures. Examined by a dozen specialists, she had been treated with antiseizure medication to no avail. In desperation, her parents consulted with Ray Francis who surmised that her newly painted, carpeted and furnished bedroom was a toxic soup. After sleeping in another room, Anne's seizures stopped. Today she is a normal, healthy child. These people learned how to choose health over illness; wellness over disease-and so can you. Health doesn't happen by chance, but by choice, and you can take steps now to ensure that you will live free of the diseases that plague our society. A life-threatening medical condition led Ray Francis, a chemist and graduate of MIT, to formulate a revolutionary theory of health and disease: there is only one disease, only two causes of disease, and six pathways to health and disease. His findings and astounding recovery supported his conclusion that almost all diseases can be both prevented and reversed. This remarkable book is health in one lesson. It cuts through the confusion, demystifies disease and gives you answers to these questions: What is health? What is disease? Why do people get sick? How can disease be prevented? How can it be reversed? Through provocative case studies and cutting-edge scientific research, you will learn an entirely new way to look at health and disease. It is an approach that is easy to understand, yet so powerful that you may, indeed, never have to be sick again.
