The theory of the kidney function is good, but ...

Revisado: 08-21-18

Great summary of kidney role and diseases. It is concise, and accurate. The narrator, Mr. Mark Booker, has a pleasant voice that is very easy to listen to, but he is a bit rushed as he reads. I like it when the reading is more conversational, and allows room for the listener to process the information as he/she listens. I recommend a more relaxed speed. Everything else is perfect about the narration.

Since this book is about diet, and offers numerous recipes, a PDF attachment would have made this book much more practical and helpful to those interested to apply it. How does one scan the audio-book to look up a recipe? I hope the author will add the PDF to this book.

Although Mr. Shelbey Andersen gives some good principles at the beginning, the recipes contradict those principles. For example, some of the ingredients and meats included in these recipes I would avoid completely (sugar, eggs, flower, sower cream, meat, mayonnaise, dairy products, vegetable oil, etc). I would refer him to read Dr. Fuhrman's books, "Eat to Live", "Eat for Health", etc. Even though Dr. Fuhrman's books are not focusing on the kidney health, specifically, they do ensure the general health of the body, and reversal of diabetes, heart disease, and many others health conditions. By adapting some of Dr. Fuhrman's nutritarian principles to the kidney, the kidney patient would benefit much more than by following the unhealthy recipes presented in this book.

With all do respect, I will attempt to return this book. I did not find the help that I was looking for in it.

I like it very much, but I miss the PDF attachment

Where does Memory Rescue rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I like all Dr. Amen's books, and I recommend them to all interested. This one is no exception. I just wish it had the PDF attachment with some of the information. I hope Dr. Amen will have them attached here soon.

What other book might you compare Memory Rescue to and why?

I read his "Magnificent mind at any age", which is more broad. This one focuses on memory, specifically. I find both equally useful.

Have you listened to any of L. J. Ganser’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I'm not sure. i need to check my other audio books.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

The Control Center.

Any additional comments?

When it comes to mental health, there is no one i trust as much as Dr, Amen. I just recommended him to a couple of people at my church who I thought could benefit from his help.

Good Principles, Overshadowed by Medical Politics

Revisado: 08-12-17

Is there anything you would change about this book?

While understanding the corruption of the system is important to the reader (it teaches discernment and gives the power back to the patient), spending too much time on that takes away from the valuable nutritional principles that this book is designed to offer.

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

It was interesting and very sobering to read about the corruption of the medical system at our expense. However, once that was communicated, I would have liked to spend more time reading about "Diet, Weight Loss, and Long-Term Health". While this book offers great nutritional principles, by the time I was listening to all the stories concerning the government and the health system's corruption, I forgot what this book was teaching about diet, weight-loss, and health. I will have to listen to it again.

What about Dan Woren’s performance did you like?

Dan did a great job. He is easy to listen to.

Could you see The China Study, Revised and Expanded Edition being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

Interesting question! I think this is a great idea, as long as the movie is well made and dynamic. Make sure you make it an action movie, if you want people to watch it. Well, I guess a documentary would work, too. My husband watches a lot of documentaries. I prefer action. It is more engaging (smiling).

Any additional comments?

Overall, a good book, if it weren't for the extensive time spent on politics.

Good, but I wish the recipes were provided in PDF

Revisado: 03-28-17

Would you listen to Detox: Liver and Gallbladder Detox again? Why?

Yes, but...I wish the recipes were provided in PDF, so I can easily locate and follow them. After paying for the audio-book, it would be unfair to pay for the hard copy, just to have the recipes handy.

If you’ve listened to books by Jennifer Atkins before, how does this one compare?

NA

Have you listened to any of Kevin L. Knights’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

NA

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The book is very educational. From showing how the liver functions to the list of food products that help the liver and their nutritional value, foods that hurt the liver, liquid and solid recipes, and physical exercises, this book covers a lot, without wasting words. The recipes sound very good and doable.

Any additional comments?

At the cost of being redundant, I recommend that the author/publisher adds a PDF attachment with the list of foods and their nutritional value, as well as the recipes. That is in fact the practical part of the book that makes it worth buying.

Browsing through the audio-book for the recipe selection and taking notes for each of them is both unrealistic and unfair. Other audio-books on health and nutrition have done that, and it made buying the audio-book worth while.

One recommendation for the reader: many of the recipes include fried onion, which I don't believe it is good for the liver. I recommend that you add just a bit of water (1-2 tbs) to that oil, if you chose to fry. onion.

Live-Changing! It changed mine...

Revisado: 10-27-16

If you could sum up Eat to Live in three words, what would they be?

Informative, motivating, life-changing

What did you like best about this story?

Dr, Furhman educates his readers by explaining how poor diet affects our body at the cellular level, and contributes to diabetes, cholesterol, and obesity. Food is the cause of most illnesses, he says. In order to reverse the illness (diabetes, cholesterol, obesity, etc.) we must work at the cause by: 1. changing our eating habits, 2. engage in daily physical activities (walk, or work out). While I have not eliminated animal food from my diet, I did reduced it greatly, and replaced with raw and cooked vegetables.

Which scene was your favorite?

"Greens, beans, nuts, and seeds" are the things that provide all the micro-nutrients our body needs to be healthy, without the un-necessary macro-nutrients which cause us to be "over-fed and under-nourished". If you are serious about loosing weight and reversing your health condition, this is the book for you.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The case studies were extremely helpful for me, and I related to them. I lost 38 lbs. in six months, I reversed my pre-diabetes and brought my blood sugar withing the normal range (under 100). I am healthy, full of energy, and have an entirely new wardrobe with clothes that I have not been able to wear in years. Avoiding anything that is "white" was the key for me (anything that has sugar, flour, tomatoes, or rise). These are all "empty calories that are full of starch, and turn into sugar as soon as they are assimilated by our body.

Any additional comments?

I have listened to this book dozens of times and I will keep listening to it. It keeps me motivated and mindful of my need to keep a healthy life-style. For me, there is no turning back to the lifestyle that I used to have. Thank you, Dr. Furhman, for making this book available. I have already recommended it to my friends, and will continue to do so, because I know from personal experience that it works if we do our part. What's nice is that living the way Dr. Furhman recommends is easy. The raw and cooked vegetables that I eat keep me full longer, and provide the nutrients that I need to stay healthy.

Waist of my time and money...

Revisado: 11-18-09

Five chapters - four of which are relaxation with nature and music sound. Some of these realxation technics are audible, but not very intelligible. Others are subliminal. The last chapter ONLY deals with the topic, and it doesn't say or do much. I already knew the force field technique. As far as the sounds, I already have plenty of those, too. His sounds, by the way, are a mix of rain storm with occasinal thunder, waves, and music. I don't mean to be disrespectful. His voice was nice in the induction, and so was the music and the nature sounds, but I got more content from other one-hour messages than I got from this two and a half hours of... whatever this was. I am dissapointed.

However, if all you want is relaxation, and if you don't mind rain storm sound, this may be good for you. Best Wishes!
