Vital Information 12 Sep 2002

By A Customer

Format:Paperback

I have recently embarked on a nutrition diploma and have bought the book as background reading for my course. I found the book to be well written, easy to read and even more importantly easy to understand. A must for anyone who like me is embarking on a career in nutrition or quite simply takes a keen interest in the health of their body.

Good info 28 Jan 2012

By Jodi-Hummingbird TOP 1000 REVIEWER

Format:Paperback

This book contains good solid information and could absolutely really help improve the health of a lot of people.

This book was good, but not as good as the book on this topic by Dr Sherry Rogers which I found far more thorough. That book was excellent and so I would recommend it over this one. If all your library has is this book however, it is well worth a read and makes many important points.

Also worth reading are books on the SCD eating plan and the GAPS diet, if you have serious gut issues and dysbiosis and need to heal your gut. These books take a very different and diet-based approach, that may be even more beneficial for some people.

It could work 29 Aug 2010

By vjimener

Format:Paperback

This book is a collection of things to do for every ailment that work for some people. So they could work for you or not. It is interesting but I expected much more (on the line of Gut Reaction). In any case there are some chapters interesting.

Glutamine is the preferred food of the cells of the small intestine. Dosages can range from 1 to 30 grams daily, depending on your needs. Zinc may be an essential nutrient for gut repair. Other nutrients and supplements that are helpful include gamma oryzanol, Seacure, vitamin A, vitamin C, pantothenic acid (vitamin B5), deglycyrrhized (DGL) licorice, folic acid, concentrated whey immunoglobulin concentrates, schizandra, and aloe vera. &quote;

Seventy percent of the immune system is located in or around the digestive system. Often called the second brain, the digestive system can run independently of our brain, has more nerve endings than the spine, and manufactures more neurotransmitters than the brain. In fact, 90 percent of all serotonin is made in the gut. &quote;
