Book Reviews of Fit for Life: A New Beginning
Book Review: A masterpiece: a real solution for disease
Summary: 5 Stars
I just finished reading this book and I am recommending it to all my friends, especially those who have physical problems, especially cancer. When one mentions cancer, people are more horrified by it than by heart disease, though the latest is leading the statistics as far as deaths. Why? Because of the treatment: when one talks about cancer, people immediatly get horrifying images of chemotherapy treatments, losing one's hair, radiation, and so on. I never believed that the current medical approach to cancer (not to mention other ilnesses) was the right one, nor that it was a real solution. After all, as Mr. Diamon says in this book "noone can be poisoned back to health".
I met few people though who were afraid of cancer the way I was before reading this book. After having a case of breast cancer happening in my family, every time I had pain somewhere was for me a great scare, and I was afraid I might have cancer in the body part that was hurting. I know, silly, but cancer is scary and no one so far has come up with a solution. Or better, no one had, until Mr. Diamond wrote this book. He says we should concentrate on prevention, for all diseases, not on cure! And he's right. In this book he explain how to prevent and reverse disease. You need this data, everyone does. And thanks to him, I am not so afraid of cancer anymore, as I know I am preventing it and if it would occur I could cure it without going through the nightmare (for the patient), money making (for the pharma industry) treatments advised by the medical community.
Book Review: Preventing Cancer and Disease
Summary: 5 Stars
I am writing a very favorable review regarding this book. I have read the original "Fit for Life" and "Fit for Life II" and I must say this book in combination with the original Fit for Life is a complete guide to the prevention of cancer and disease. Where it appears that most of the medical community is consumed with curing cancer and disease AFTER it happens it is refreshing to see someone concentrating on how to prevent it from EVER happening.The chapters on the 7 stages of disease and the explanation of the lymph node system are easy to understand. I always liked the way Mr. Diamond's books read as if he is sitting there in the room with you and explaining it personally. His excitement and passion for this subject can be felt as you read and the analogies he uses are wonderful in making sense of complex subject.
Please don't think of this as simply a diet book. If you only followed some of the principles some of the time I'll bet the majority of the population would be 100% better off than they are right now. I like the fact that he advocates using it as much as possible and when you can rather than forcing an all or nothing situation. Yes you can lose weight and have more energy than you ever thought possible following these principles. But, even if you never lost an ounce, the feeling of being able to participate in preventing disease in you body as opposed to sitting back and feeling a helpless victim as to when and if it may or may not ever hit you is empowering.
It could very well be the best $...you ever spend.
Book Review: Your search for Good Health is over!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I read the first edition of 'Fit for Life' (FFL) /1985/ back in 1988. I followed the eating designs for 6 months and lost over 40 lbs but kept the weight off for over 3 years. In the meantime 21 years have lapsed and so has my health. I was just diagnosed with the early stages of kidney disease, followed the same outline (but 'FFL A New Beginning' has sooo much better info!) and lost 25 lbs in under 30 days. I'm convinced I can halt any further kidney damage. You can do this too! I highly recommend reading both books, but if you read 'A New Beginning' carefully you should be just fine. There are 7 Stages of Disease before cancer arises. You can stop cancer from happening as long as you catch it in the first 6 stages, once it enters into stage 7 there's not much you can do. All of this accomplished by eating properly, the way God designed the body to function. Just do it! Be warned...this book will shatter every single piece of food advice we ever heard growing up, but it works, I feel great and my energy level is increasing and I'm losing weight. Just be patient and let your body heal itself, you won't regret it. This is the best $12 you'll ever spend in your life! The best $38 a month I spend is sponsoring a child through the christian ministry of Compassion International! [...]Book Review: Another Hit!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have read Fit For Life and Fit for Life 2 and Harvey Diamond has knocked another one out of the park. After recent health decline from not following these principles for a few years I knew right where to turn for help, having read and followed this program in the past. I have returned to the program with new energy and health and thanks to the encouragement and help from this new book I hope to have a much better quality of life for many years to come. The examples of others in this book and the new information have been enlightening and very encouraging to me. My husband is also reaping the benefits and though not following the program totally has renewed vigor. He says I am slowly converting him. Thanks Harvey and Marilyn. Keep it coming.Book Review: Goes into detail
Summary: 5 Stars
I didn't know what to expect from this book as the first book details the food plan fairly well, although it had been reccommended to me. I am glad I ordered it. The first several chapters detail Harvey's quest to find a way of eating that would work for him, and is inspiring and interesting to know that other people, ie we all, have problems with food.I like the details and additional information he provides about why this eating program is so effective. Anti establishment health and diet advice at its best. I have already read the first book and know that this way of eating does work to bring one to an optimal energy level just as described. All those good anti-oxidants and enzymes!!!
