Very interesting!

This is not your typical diet or health book, but what I found to be a very interesting read which bases what one eats, and how one cares for ones body, on truth and wisdom.

"Maker's Diet" author tied to illegal supplement marketing. The FDA has ordered Garden of Life of West Palm Beach, Florida, to stop making unsubstantiated claims for "Q-Zyme,""Primal Defense," "Virgin Coconut Oil," "Fungal Defense," "FYI (For Your Inflammation)," "RM-10," "Revivall Classic," or other products. [Singleton ER. Warning letter to Robert U. Craven. May 11, 2004] The company was founded by Jordan S. Rubin, "NMD, PhD, CNC," who claims to have cured himself of "intestinal parasites, severe Candida, extreme anemia, food allergies, diabetes, excruciating abdominal pain, chronic diarrhea, poor circulation, liver problems, chemical sensitivities, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, arthritis, insomnia, hair loss, prostate and bladder infections, irregular heartbeat, eye inflammation, and chronic depression." Rubin's credentials have no legitimate academic or professional standing:
*His NMD (naturopathic medical doctor) is from the Peoples University of the Americas School of Natural Medicine, a nonaccredited school with no campus.
*His Ph.D. is from the Academy of Natural Therapies, a nonaccredited correspondence school that the State of Hawaii ordered to close last year.
*His CNC (Certified Nutritional Consultant) comes from the American Association of Nutritional Consultants, whose only requirement for "professional member" status has been payment of a $50 or $60 fee. The CNC requires passage of a test based mainly on the contents of books that promote nutrition quackery.
Rubin's book, "The Maker's Diet," is number 14 on the New York Times list of hardcover advice books. The book's Web site states that Rubin "uses Biblical and scientific resources to provide a uniquely holistic wellness program." Entrepreneur Magazine listed Garden of Life as the fifth fastest-growing company in America, with 2003 sales of $43.2 million.

All American's should read this book!!!

My wife and myself started following the diet as described in this book just a week ago.Surprisingly we both lost 5-6 pounds in the first week itself.We were not thinking that much of losing weight, instead we both wanted to live a healthy life, but to add to the benefits of a healthy diet it helps to lose extra pounds too.We both feel really good in body, mind and spirit ever since we started this diet.Even though the book describes a 40 day diet plan, we both wanted to continue to follow the same diet even after that.Its not at all hard to follow this diet.The only small issue I see with the diet is we need to get more natural and organic products which are bit expensive.But in my opinion that extra bucks is really worth spending.
From this book we got lot of information about various foods, down sides of food processing etc.And we were suprprised to see that this books talks just the opposite of other american diet's favourites of "fat-free" and "carb-free".I would strongly suggest all to get this book and make an investment in to your family's future health.

How wonderfully God has made everything on this earth for us to enjoy!!!.
