I guess if you're new to this (i.e. alternative medicine), 299 pages might not seem like a lot; but for me, some ideas seemed to drone on, and I periodically lost attention. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed most, if not all of the case studies. I even enjoyed reading Dr. Gordon's path to how he came to alternative medicine and his healing crisis was fascinating, sparking an interest. However, some of his points on exercise and diet seemed like common sense (especially to someone who has read this type of thing before). Also, he quoted "let food be your medicine and your medicine food" in a couple of different places in the book. Personally, I thought once was sufficient, when he brought up it up the first time. When he brought the topic up an additional time, it just seemed redundant to me. Again, this might be good for someone new to these concepts.

Overall I liked the book, but some points were slow and redundant, which made it very tempting to skip around.

A plus about the book is the subject index (p.347-358). I enjoy it when non-digital books with over 250 pages a have an index for a reader's convenience if they want to refer back to a cetain topic. Putting this book on Kindle would be even sweeter. That way a reader can just do a word search. (Why isn't this book on Kindle yet?)

As a board certified holistic practitioner, I have clashed with conventional medicine for many years. I took it upon myself to
do the research and educate the integrative modailites that are available. This book is excellent from a medical doctors
perception. He describes in detail his training, and how it wasn't working for health care. It is really what I describe as
'sick care'. Over prescribing, not spending time with a patient, treating patients as machines instead of people, all part
of the system that he could no longer invest his time or energy in. If you want to understand the medical system from
someone who was in the trenches, then this is the book for you.

Plenty of helpful information and good explanations of alternative therapies I might have dismissed as quacky before. I learned quite a bit.

James Gordon does not fail to write in a practical and convincing way about how we all can take better care of ourselves and live a healthier, longer life.

I purchased this book for a friend. I first came across Dr Gordon on the Diane Rhem show on NPR about 10 years ago and after talking with him by phone was referred to a Dr Heffron in Bethesda who practiced medicine as he does. I was coming up on retirement and was concerned that I was going to retire a cripple from arthritis. However Dr. Heffron, in Bethesda, put me on a regimen of herbs that after three weeks had me walking without pain and I have been pain free to this day. I do have to continue with the herbs but they are so inexpensive that it is not a problem.

In addition the herbs are in quite large pill form and provide the bulk I need so that my cholesterol levels have fallen into the normal range.

I heartily recommend this bool!!!
