This book will seriously affect your health - for the better
This book is seriously life changing. Once you have read it, you will want to go straight out and buy a copy of it for everyone dear to you and anyone you know or know of that may be suffering from one illness or another. Andrew Weil has the ability to communicate succinctly and clearly the workings of the human body and is hugely motivational in the process. It is an empowering experience as you realise that we all have the potential to ensure we have longevity in our lives and we have the power to fight illness and ensure optimum well being. He does not reject conventional medicine but educates you as to where you can supplement it with alternative medicine and gives a practical and easy to follow guide to help you change your habits. None of it is rocket science - but we all need to be reminded and re educated. Cannot recommend this highly enough!

Natural healing is in all of us! - A way to discover it!!!!!
This book is amazing!! Personally being on many types of conventional medicines, I found this book to be very enlightening in the many ways to heal your body...naturally and safely! It's an extremely easy read and Dr. Weil explains everything in careful detail. After reading this, I am changing the way i view my body and mind and i'm passing this knowledge onto my friends. i reccomend this book HIGHLY to anyone who is seeking an alternative to conventional medicine.

The body can heal itself and this book tells you how.
For 1 year and 16 medical specialists no one has been able to diagnose where my mid-section pain (24 hours a day) was coming from. A friend gave me Dr. Weil's book and said "read it, try the remedies, they can't hurt you and maybe they may help your cancer problem et. al. I was a skeptic who never believed vitamin and other health food supplements could possibly help prevent or cure a disease such as HIV, Hepatitis or Cancer.

But I am writing this on August 11, 1997 to tell you our visitors and clients... I AM A BELIEVER NOW. Having spent the months of may, June and July virtually an invalid from my pain. Never going out for fear of catching germs or cutting myself etc. I started to follow some of Dr. Weil's recommendations. Then on Wed. Aug. 6 I suddenly felt better, got dressed, went out to see my dentist for extraction of a front tooth. I hate Dentist's, because I am very sensitive to novacaine or pain. Well I went through 8 hours in the dental chair with no ill effects. Thursday afternoon I had an appointment with my Onclogist. As soon as I stepped into the room where they do the blood tests. Every nurse remark how different I was then just 30 days before, my previous vist.

My weight, 20 lb. loss after Cancer Chemo, was now back to normal. I felt good, sounded good and my pain went from a 9 to a 5. My wife said Ken you're back on Dexadrine (an upper). I said absolutely untrue. All I'm on is my pain killers, vitamins and Ginseng Gold. Called my friend in Delaware and she said, see the vitamins and Ginseng have given you a lift in energy, appetite etc. I AM NOW A BELIEVER. IF YOU'VE HAD IT WITH DOCTORS,..READ THIS BOOK. My life did a 180 degree turn in just 3 weeks. My doctors won't believe it, but everyone that knows me thinks I've undergone a miraculous cure. But I still have the cancers, but they are under control BY MY IMMUNE SYSTEM.
