Having a life worthy of living.
An interesting subject although the research is a bit outdated. I read too the comments of its critics which were equally as outmoded. Their criticism failed to invalidate the generality of Howell's thesis. Interestingly, Dr Roy Walford of the "120 year diet plan" fame passed away lately in his mid 70s while seemingly Dr Howell was still jogging at this age. Apparently his wife too looked 20 years younger than her age. An interesting point and nothing more, but, I'm impressed. Three days ago I started practicing Dr Howell's recommendations and while it is still early days I have already noticed a distinct increase in energy, libido, and well-being, and a decrease in BP. During the course of this morning my feeling of well-being was so high that it was probably my early 20s when I last experienced such a sensation. It's now almost 6pm and I continue to feel good. I too am in my mid 70s and maintain good health without aches or pains but, then, I take saturated fat in abundance with my meals! I enjoyed this book and would see it as being complimentary to Sally Fallon's book, "Nourishing Traditions". Unlike Walford, my interest is not in extending life, but, rather, having a life worthy of living which is probably more in alignment with the views of Dr Howell.

This book is a must read
For me, this book has been life-changing - it is the most important book I have ever read. I have now read it 3 times, and have picked up more information each time. Dr Howell's view that ALL degenerative disease is caused by enzyme deficiency seems inescapable. I now look at food in a different way - I look at what I can eat raw, I look at enzyme content, and of course I take enzyme supplements with every meal. Before reading the book, I had noticeable varicose veins on my legs; they have now gone. I also could lose the circulation in my hands and feet when I got cold; that also has stopped. My advice to everyone is to drop whatever you are doing, and read this book - Now!

I switched!
This book lays out so well the role that "enzymes" play in our health, that by the time I finished reading it, I switched to a "live-foods" diet. This book is a must read for anyone who's interested in improving their health.
