A very dangerous book

First I really struggled to get through this book since so much of it was repetition. It is poorly written going from anecdotes, to advice and back to anecdotes all in the same sentence. You never know what you're going to get.

But more importantly this book is full of assumptions and personal experience stated as fact. The author sometimes conveniently forgets to mention sources and draws causation conclusions where only correlation is proven. Plus the fact that he refutes himself at times. For example saying that by eating healthy like honza's or people in older times you should be able to never get sick. But then he still wants you to buy lots of huge vitamin supplements. Why are those needed if the honza's don't need them?

However I can save you some time and give you the helpful advice of this book in as short as possible: eat plenty of fruits and vegetables, but don't forget meat. Also get some exercise and get out of the house a bit. Plus give yourself opportunities to be happy and take full advantage of them.

So this is what I learned from this book. A very valuable lesson. But I don't recommend anyone to read it or listen to it.

You lost me at “reverse almost any disease’

I’m sorry but this sounds like a bucket full of snake oil. The words ‘no one has to be sick’

The world doesn’t need another wellness guru

A must have book - blueprint plan and execution for long healthy life

Sincere efforts made by the author and bald assertive criticism to commonly understood basic towards how we understand health and fight and cure disease and most important how to prevent illness.
The idea of taking lessons learned from long lived people from various spots in the world and applying it in our daily life style is bold and unique. The most important thing that it works and make sense.

Many thanks Mr Raymond and your deserve an Noble prize for what you are doing for humanity

To sum up - just eat healthy and lead a healthy lifestyle avoiding toxins

Interesting - I’ll never follow all his suggestions as it would be very difficult to do. Would love my sugar junkie wife to read/listen to this.

Don’t bother

This was obviously written by someone who wants you to go down a fearful rabbit hole of risks we take with everything we eat or consume in/on our bodies.

Narration was ok - great for insomnia, but was equal to the prose.

Content was dire. We all know about the need to eat less sugar etc but if you think about it, in the 1700s there wasn’t any additives and artificial food stuffs and people were getting ill then!!

This book was a waste of my time. I didn’t finish it to the very end.

Final thought: there are better health books out there that don’t expect you to give up everything you enjoy. Avoid this one.

Mostly common sense, and some absolute rubbish.

very well read, great voice.
Actual book is awful, full of nonsense mixed with common sense, but separating the two isn't easy!

The best so far.

This book is arguably the best yet easy health book I have ever come across. It has made me to understand health and it is, indeed, a choice. The difficulty, though, is how to get some of the elements of the pathways to compliment ones health. The appendixes to this book help make this reasonably easier to navigate, though.

The irony is that this is a book I did not pay for. I had it free as a loyal subscriber of Audible. I have since, though, purchased the hard copy and recommended the book to a few of my network who are also recommending the same to others.
it is a MUST have health book.

Good but repetitive and dark

The author promotes that their is only 1 disease: cell malfunction; 2 causes: deficiency and toxicity and 6 pathways to health: nutrition, physical, toxin, mental, genetic and medical. He explains each of this concepts with real life examples and a lot of “we are all doomed” attitude. I have mixed feelings about this as I found quite repetitive (trying to condition us to believe it by constant repetition), extremely negative quite often (we’re all going to die a painful, diseased death because of our modern way of life) and he often proclaimed his believes as facts without research backing. On the positive side: A good part of what was said makes sense and was backed by research, however apart from moving to the mountains to life in solitude, the actions we can take are eat a health, moderate diet consisting of mainly plant based, whole foods, organic produce;!completely eliminate sugar, flour, dairy and coffee from your diet. Include constant and different types of exercises to you daily routine; sleep well, sun bath, de stress and be happy, have positive thoughts and believe on yourself and your healthy body. Stay away from chemicals and reduce technology use as much as possible. All was said before in a different way.
