| Can We Live 150 Years? by Healthy Life Press Inc. I'm sorry. I agree with the other dissatisfied customers. | | This has got to be the worst health ever self-published. Yes, those are strong words, but when there are so many informative guides out there, why would you waste time with this joke of a guide? This author's two biggest health tips are .... are you listening? Lemons and enemas. Lemons and enemas. Are you kidding me? I could over look the many typos and graamar errors, but to rec lemons and enemas, I'm sorry that is just awful. Now I see why this book was self-published, every major publisher took one look and couldn't stop laughing. My advice, which is better than anything this book will offer is to avoid it at all cost. If you're desperate there are many great guides on the best-sellers lists. Which by the way is where I discovered this book. It was recommended in many, many reviews. Makes ya think who is doing the recommending? Hmmmm. Final word: Stay way!! | | Can We Live 150 Years? by Healthy Life Press Inc. Almost 5 Stars | This book probably deserves 4.5 stars, but there is no such choice so I opted for 4. There is something for everyone in this book. It is packed with information about body cleansing, treatment of obesity and other common ailments, proper nutrition, proper breathing techniques, taking care of your back, and much more. It is very comprehensive and compact. In fact a little too compact for my eyes - it would be easier to read if the letters were bigger. I wouldn't mind if it was published in four or five hundred pages, or even in two different volumes.
You will find in the book many good alternatives to visiting your physician with a small disorder or inconvenience as we often tend to do. An example -- drink a raspberry tea, instead of taking aspirin. Among all the plentiful advice you will also come across some that you might want to take with a grain of salt, but if you approach it with an open mind you will certainly find a lot of useful recommendations.
I happen to disagree with the author on some issues. Specifically, in my opinion the calculation of life expectancy seems to be based on some wrong assumption, but my goal is not to live 150 years anyway... As some of other reviewers mentioned, I wouldn't make my own toothpaste, either. However, after you separate the grain from chaff and ignore all the elements that you consider too difficult or impractical, you will still be left with a lot of useful guidance that will help you lead healthier life.
The liver cleansing routine does require two full days of total devotion to your own self. It is not pleasant, either, as you first need to fasten for over a day, and then you need to drink alternatively olive oil and lemon juice. It is not easy, but it is very rewarding. I felt very much rejuvenated after cleansing of my liver. The good news is that you do not need to do it more often than twice a year.
The author also suggests fasting at least a few days a month. Not as a means to losing weight, but as a self-cleansing routine. Alternatively, if you prefer the easy way, take sauna each few days... By the way, the author also suggest an alternative, easy way of liver cleansing with the help of apple juice, but my experience tells me that "the easy solutions" most of the time don't bring about as good results as "doing it the hard way". And so on, and so forth...
To summarize: It is a good book, just pick up what you find useful and ignore the stuff that does not suit you. There is something for everyone. It's a very much recommended title.
| | Can We Live 150 Years? by Healthy Life Press Inc. Simple and Effective Solutions | If you are looking for a simple and effective solutions to your health problems look no more! This is the ultimate holistic living guide. From correct breathing, through taking care of your back, to proper food combination, the author provides natural recipes for everyday living. The words are direct, awakening and motivating, causing you to start taking care of yourself.
Very important for me was chapter six - Complete Body Cleansing. The liver cleansing is really very rejuvenating. You have to prepare for the procedure a few days earlier by appropriately changing your diet. The liver cleansing itself takes two full days of total concentration on your own body. It is not pleasant but it is very rewarding. After it was over I felt like a newborn. Somehow it also pushed me to improve my eating habits.
Also very good is the chapter about obesity. Without complicating the matter, like many other authors tend to do, the author very effectively deals with the subject in one short chapter. He explains the reasons behind ineffectiveness of most popular dieting programs and suggests simple ways for dealing with the most common habits that lead us to gaining weight. PAINLESS AND EFFECTIVE!
Very helpful is also the chart on proper food combination. Applying the simple rules from the chart after my liver cleansing keeps me feel youthful and energetic, and I keep losing weight week after week.
No one before has motivated me so well. Just follow the simple advice for a month or two and you will see the difference. You will feel better and you will look better. What else do you need?
Another great book that I highly recommend for all those wanting to live healthy life and stay away from prescription drugs is Prescription for Nutritional Healing, 4th Edition. | | Can We Live 150 Years? by Healthy Life Press Inc. Difficult to Separate Fact and Fiction... | First of all, let me say that there are many suggestions offered by Dr. Tomba in this book, which seem to make sense. [...]
However, there were several sections in this book, which just undermined the entire message: APPENDIX E: "The health of our skin is influenced by zodiac signs...." Dr. Tomba then goes on to discuss the various signs such as, " ARIES - The skin of an Aries is predisposed to inflammations and pus formation. Being impatient, people born under this sign damage the skin on their faces while trying to remove every new little pimple..." It is ridiculous to believe that every Aries is impatient or damages their skin!
Appendix D states that "small ears" are an external warning sign of "to (misspelled) much tension on the body and fatigue." Small ears are a genetic trait. Period.
Another section on page 145 states that, "Our appearance is a reflection of our health, " which sounded reasonable to me UNTIL I read that " our eyes are not only a reflection of our physical health; they also indicate certain traits of our character." "GREEN EYES indicate a sensitive and vulnerable personality. People with green eyes are highly dependable. They always crave for love and return love with unconditional dedication."
So now we are using EYE COLOR to predict the character traits of individuals??
Statements such as the above are simply not rational. Although many of his statements seemed to be "folk remedies" that might be useful,[...]. Frankly, I couldn't separate "fact from fiction" and even though many of the remedies may very well work, I am now reluctant to try them.
| | Can We Live 150 Years? by Healthy Life Press Inc. Highly recommended reading | | I wasn't particularly interested in this kind of reading. However, since I received this book as a gift, I felt I had a duty to at least have a quick look at it. So I flipped through some pages... Surprisingly, I immediately found a few chapters that caught my attention... After jumping from one chapter to another, eventually I decided that this volume definitely deserves my full attention. So I read it from the beginning to the end, and since then I often use it as my reference book to healthy living. The book does not bog down the reader with sophisticated terminology as a genuine medical book might. It simply offers straightforward advice that is designed to help the reader in a variety of areas from maintaining a well-balanced diet to getting the right kinds of exercise to ameliorating illnesses. Interesting how this book changed my life! It is only a surprise that it is not at Amazon's Bestseller list. Unless it is still undiscovered... | | Can We Live 150 Years? by Healthy Life Press Inc.
