Book Reviews of Get Healthy Now: A Complete Guide to Prevention, Treatment and Healthy Living
Book Review: not what I expected
Summary: 3 Stars
Gary Null is kind of an enigmatic figure. I agree that nutrition and health are unknown to most doctors and that professionalism more generally is a threat to human happiness. There's some other stuff that goes with his holistic views however.
The material here is very different from what Null shares with his radio audience. Several of the protocols and diets countenance eating meat in some form. Anyone who knows Null knows that this is antithetical to what he says on PBS and his radio shows. The author draws so heavily from other sources that his own nutritional views are lost.
The book is large and topical. Worried about cancer? There's a chapter on prevention. The other chapters cover things from lupus to sexual dysfunction. The recipes included are pretty sparse but good. This is the pattern more generally; information is sparse and wide ranging, but there's seldom enough to hold interest. As a compendium of recent empirical research, it's okay, but many people would probably benefit by a more targeted book on a single theme such as juicing. Like Null himself, I suggest checking it out at the library before buying.
Null's more controversial views on AIDs and religion are not present in this work. This is good because his brand of Baby Boomer, sub-Marxist, backwoods sublimated fundamentalist fervor gets tiresome sometimes. Null has actually transformed his childhood religion and rural milieu into a weird New Age religion centered on energy transfer and democracy. Despite the flaws, Null is an important populist voice in challenging the status quo.
