[.ca] Beyond Antibiotics: 50 (or so) Ways to Boost Immunity ... (ISBN 1556431805)

Unsubstantiated Hooey:
Hoping to find some real alternatives to antibiotics, I was sorely disappointed. This book is just the same old "naturalist" magical thinking. Filled with wild, unsubstantiated claims both against antibiotics (and doctors in general) and for a "natural" lifestyle, the authors put forth the same tired thesis: Eat only vegetables, move out of the city, and consume vitamin C in doses equivalent to 2000 oranges a day and you'll never get sick." They do offer some natural aid to alleviate symptoms when the magic inevitably fails, but no real remedies to help your body kill bacteria. Their theory appears to be that bacteria are a figmet of the modern hypochondriac's imagination. If you're sick, go to the doctor. Don't waste your money on this book.

Great Book:
Book had a lot of useful information and was easy to read. I highly recomend it!

EXCELLENT!!!:
I work in the Health and Fitness field.I am also an athlete who exercises,eats perfectly and takes appropriate vitamins.....but for as long as I can remember I always had some sort of cold or cough at least once a month and guaranteed illness after serious athletic competition.The Doctors felt it was because of my work and my exposure to 100`s of people a day, and in a way they were right.The true problem was the stregnth of my immune system. Now 6 months since I read the book,I havent been sick a single day!The chapter on Vitamin C had the strongest effect on my current state of "Wellness". My thanks to the Authors ! Outstanding !
