Book Reviews of The RAVE Diet & Lifestyle - 3rd Edition
Book Review: Update on P.E.T and Dec. test
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a 66 yr.old woman, cancer survivor. Ovarian, nine years ago. Recently having undergone a P.E.T scan I was re-diagnosed with positive cancer tumors in three areas. I was told I was LUCKY as I'd already past the usual time frame.
I was given the RAVE Diet and Lifestyle book by a dear friend. What I read made sense as I've tried other things prior. I've discussed this with my Oncologist and he agreed to allow six month before surgery and chemo therapy as option. I was totally motivated and even excited to start this,very different, Lifestyle. I made a sign, taped to my fridge that stated:" Do you want this? Or chemo? June 9th, 2010 I started.I've bought a blender, a rice cooker, fresh Farmer's Market veggies and not one morsel of meat/chicken/fish/fat went past my lips. I went through cupboards and threw out anything that was not in the book.
I was given a scale for my birthday. Eagerly I weighed to keep track. Pounds just melted off. I felt great. I'd stopped my cholesterol medication as I was convinced everything 'bad' would disappear. I'd envisioned the cancer tumors just folding up and 'starving'. I've walked every day, first 25 min. now 40. It was not NOT easy but I felt much improved. As of August 19th 2010 I've lost 31 lbs. Great. Had my check up and bloodtests a few days ago.Couldn't wait for the happy, anticipated results, so here is reality: Cancer markers: UN-changed. Cholesteral UP 100 points. Some people say, it's because there's so little fat intake, that the body converts everything it receives--- to fat. Other parts responsible are the genes.I was totally deflated. I mean, it's absolutely wonderful to have lost the weight and so quickly but that was NOT the actual reason. I am disappointed to be sure as I had worked so hard and given up so much.But, I will continue this Lifestyle now and I shall post my P.E.T scan results when re-checked in October. Then we shall know for sure. I'm just not that excited anymore. ------- UPDATE: As promised, I'm updating this October 2010 after my recent PET scan. Results: One small tumor still in lung. Second tumor, de-creased in size the third one, TOTALLY gone. Bloodwork shows that it's better than ever. I've now lost 44 lbs and am feeling great. Will redouble my efforts, pay very close attention to continued application to remove the other two. THANK YOU. UPDATe on UPDATE: CA 125 blood test --Unchanged. Not up, not down. I guess it's a good thing.
Book Review: Life improving book
Summary: 5 Stars
This book has changed and drastically improved our lives. It makes so much sense to follow this diet and avoid all animal products, oils and refined foods. My wife and I have been following this diet (with a very few exceptions - rare moments of weakness) for several months now (since seeing Mike on a Public Broadcast program) and we've never felt better. My blood test results have improved significantly, I've lost weight, I have more energy and I feel wonderful. This diet is NOT restrictive or unappetizing in any way. I am thoroughly enjoying my many, varied meals. I haven't even come close to trying all the new plant food recipes available to me. I don't miss the harmful foods I've given up. In fact, they have become repulsive to me. Everything promised in the book has come true. I wish I would have discovered this diet years earlier. But then I don't know if I would have been open to trying and accepting it. I've told so many about this wonderful diet and its truly amazing benefits. But so many are not at a point in their lives (for many reasons) where they are able, or willing, to give up what they've come to know, trust and crave. I understand that completely. Everyone I tell about this lifestyle has so many questions about this diet. I try to answer those questions to the best of my ability, but I always include "read the book" because there is so much information in Mike's book. I am eternally grateful to Mike Anderson.Book Review: Disease-Proof Your Life by Reading and Implementing The RAVE Diet
Summary: 5 Stars
Mike Anderson combines the latest research in his easy-to-read, well-documented RAVE Diet. The combination of blunt simplification and substantiated scientific fact makes this book extremely important. As a Registered Dietitian, I offer high praise for Anderson and have been recommending his book to all my clients and friends. Besides delineating the reasons for eating a plant-based, whole foods diet, he also provides guidelines for the details about how to implement his plan. He offers excellent recipes, solutions for potential concerns, and answers any questions that may come up in day-to-day life. Overall, The RAVE Diet is provocative, brilliant and precisely what our society needs to read in order to ameliorate the current state of health we are in.Book Review: Serious book for a serious subject
Summary: 5 Stars
I found the book quite interesting. It expanded my knowledge of nutrition and how to provide the body the building blocks for improved health and vitality. I agree the eating and lifestyle changes recommended in the RAVE diet are dramatic and very restrictive. However, consider the years of abuse the body has taken on the Standard American Diet (SAD) which now requires drastic measures to reverse life threatening deseases like CVD and cancer. Thanks for doing the research and putting together a book that offers both desease prevention and desease reversal strategies with a new approach to eating and lifestyle.Book Review: A must read for good health
Summary: 5 Stars
I am stunned at the information presented in the Rave Diet and Lifestyle book. It speaks to health and half of the book is sightings of rather scientific research done absolutely showing the Non-Animal is the way to go.
For any thoughtful person who wants to know things like why all our friends and relatives have cancer, diabetes or obesity, how to build up an immune system or lose weight without even trying.
This book has opened my eyes wide......
