 Very Readable, Less Than Perfect Content., 2008-05-21
I was surprised at how readable this was. I anticipated a very dry presentation, but was pleasantly surprised. I was so surprised, in fact, that I read the whole book in less than 48 hours. I could not put this book down. (Keep in mind though that the last 1/3 of the book is filled with recipes and references, etc.)
In spite of enjoying this book, I think that the section on functional fitness could be greatly improved upon. It's great for someone like my mother who does great if she can walk for 15 minutes at a time, but I think it is much too elementary for anyone who has even a remote resemblance of an exercise program already in use. Like I said, it would be great to start with but it doesn't tell you where to go from there.
I also think that some of what he promotes is a little unjustified scientifically and I would like to see more backup before I would accept his ideas. For example; he recommends against eating pigs because of the dietary laws that God gave the Israelites and then proceeds to tell a story about a farmer that stacked 10 pigs in wire crates, only feeding the one on top and letting the ones below him eat the dung that dropped down. They all survived. That's all well and good, and while I wouldn't want to eat those particular pigs, pigs are not generally raised in situations even remotely like that. Pigs, when given the opportunity, are very picky about keeping their toileting area separate (on the opposite side of the pen in my experience) from their feeding area. Just because it is possible for pigs to survive in less than ideal situations doesn't make it favorable for them to do so, nor does it make them any less edible. To summarize, don't eat pigs because 1) God said so, 2) Something about toxicity (that again he didn't backup) and, 3) They can survive in crappy situations.
Oh, and you're not supposed to eat rabbits either. This with no explanation except the ever present "because God said so."
While abiding by God's original dietary laws may very well be the optimal choice for health, I would personally like to see some other support of this plan besides the book of Leviticus.
There are a couple other things that he brought up that I would beg for more evidence of than was presented, but that being said it was definitely a worthwhile read.

 Life Changing Book, 2007-04-15
Buy this book and any others by Jordin Rubin. See my review of The Maker's Diet about my husband's cholesterol, dropped 99 points in 8 weeks with The Maker's Diet and the principles from The Great Physician. Use the shopping guide to assist in grocery buying the first few weeks. If you want to get healthy, read his books!

 You can change your way of life with a book., 2007-01-22
Anyone looking to have a better quality of life should pick up this book without hesitation. The book is full of common sense and not so common sense advice on how to improve your health in a variety of ways.
We've already added a water filter to our shower head and could tell a difference on the first use: chlorine is BAD for you and your skin.
Well worth it.

Satisfaction Found, 2007-01-09
This book changed my eating habits and provided awesome aternatives that fed and nourished my entire body soul and spirit.
This was accomplished by the use of sound, Biblical principles that have been thoroughly researched and put into a can do format.
Jordan Rubin has produced an insired work that can bring health and wellness to all.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who desires definite results, no matter where they are in questing excellent health.
