Review: Another AMAZING health book

The author is clearly very educated not only on general health but also on the history of how our methods of "being healthy" have evolved and changed.  He explains how doctors give medicine out, the different types of medicine, how the majority of them aren't actually doing anything much for your body, etc.  I am surprised at how true his point is that most doctors will prescribe you with a pill for anything that you might feel wrong if it isn't something serious that requires surgery or something.  Thinking back on all the visits to the doctor's that I've had for something like headaches, pain in my stomach or throat or somewhere else, or something not too serious but immediate, you know?  They've all given me a pill that was supposed to take care of it.  I wasn't really explained what the pill had in it that would fix the problem and what side effects it might have, or anything really other than "This will fix it."  It's kinda unnerving when you realize that you've been under this guy's thumb without even knowing it, for absolutely EVERYTHING that goes wrong in your body.  And it's YOUR body, and he's supposedly fixing it but doesn't tell you how.  I know that doctors are a necessity because not everyone can learn to do a doctor's job, but like I said it's very unsettling how much control they really have o.oThroughout the book(s) he's leaning the reader towards natural healers, that most people think of as "magicians" or pretend doctors.  He also explains their history and work (which is not as crazy and out-there as people tend to believe), and how they aren't as prone to hand you a pill that may work or might work but have as much or more bad than good.  Also this "natural healing" is, well, natural, and most of the time it provides a much healthier and safer way to fix the problem that can actually be explained.This is a bunch of books in one, all focusing on different aspects of your health, like weight loss (or fasting), causes of disease, natural healing of the body (to certain extents, obviously not curing cancer or something), cleansing the colon, healthy diets, "conditions", which is kinda just an extension of healthy dieting, and how to recover from diseases, surgeries, or the like (he does have how to recover from cancer).  Overall it's a very, verrryyy in-depth book about your body and how to take care of it.  I feel better prepared for the future and like I understand my body a whole lot better now.  Great book!  I'll be looking back to it throughout my whole life for tips  :)
