DNF 49% Grrrrrr!!!!I hate nonfiction! Occasionally, I force myself to endure nonfiction in an effort to improve my health. During these tortuous times, I try to read books that are recommended by others and when possible, as brief and concise as possible. Both were true in regards to FOOD COMBINING yet it was still difficult for me to get through this 63 page book. I honestly can't understand how anyone could actually enjoy a sentence such as one like this (which I copied from chapter 1): "AmylasDNF 49% Grrrrrr!!!!I hate nonfiction!

Both were true in regards to FOOD COMBINING yet it was still difficult for me to get through this 63 page book. I honestly can't understand how anyone could actually enjoy a sentence such as one like this (which I copied from chapter 1): "Amylase, the starch-splitting enzyme of the pancreatic secretion, is said to act upon starch much as does ptyalin, so that starch that escapes digestion in the mouth and stomach may be split into maltose and achrodextrin, providing, of course, that it has not undergone fermentation before it reaches the intestine."
Although I badly needed and wanted to gain insight from this book, I could not bear to finish this book. I attempted to read the first edition but it literally put me to sleep. Because I did not read it in its entirety,a star rating was not posted.

This is the craziest bunch of malarkey I ever heard of. And if this is food combining made easy, I'd hate to see what it would look like if he wrote a book called "Food Combining Made Difficult."This is the craziest bunch of malarkey I ever heard of.

I'm 62 years of age and a Natural Hygienist since 1975 and I follow Dr Herbert Shelton's food combining scheme. Unfortunatley, most of those who call themselves natural hygiesnists do not follow these principles. They just mix everything. They do not believe in fermentation. In 1982 I graduated as a sanitary doctor from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and in 1983 as Nutritional Doctor from the London University. And then, I became a Professional Natural Hygienist . I have searI'm 62 years of age and a Natural Hygienist since 1975 and I follow Dr Herbert Shelton's food combining scheme. Unfortunatley, most of those who call themselves natural hygiesnists do not follow these principles. They just mix everything. They do not believe in fermentation. In 1982 I graduated as a sanitary doctor from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and in 1983 as Nutritional Doctor from the London University. And then, I became a Professional Natural Hygienist . I have searched for knowledge with those I believe to be the best in the health field. So I've met Dr Shelton in late 70's at his Health School in San Atonio, TX. and Dr Bernard Jensen in the 80's at his Health Ranch in Escondido Cal. . I also knew George Maning from Ojai, Pat Connoly from the Price Pottenger Nutrition Foudation in La Joia and Dr Hulda Clark. You can not base your health plan only on food combining. Diet must be also alkaline . You have to take proper care of the bowels, the mouth, have an excellent quality sleep; take good care of your mental health, your feelings; stay away of solvents, get rid of heavy metals and hundreds of other toxins . In 1979 , I cut breakfast and started drinking only water until noon and having two meals a day and in 1983 I started to have only one meal a day and by that, fasting 23 hours from one meal to the next one. I want to enphasize the importance of exercise and physical activity in my life that is very intense since I was 6 years of age(1965). In the 90'' I got back to LA and got specialized in Toxicology and Phisiology from the UCLA. Each subject lasted four years. I own a vast colection of Natural Hygiene Books since its beginning in 1822 ( Sylvester Graham, Dr Thacker Trall , Dr Isaac jennings) trhoughout the twenieth and twenty one century. And of course I also own all Dr Jensen's books, Hulda Clark's; Wholistic dentistry , Colon health books, Pavlov books ( the great russian phisiologyst); and Naturorapths as Henry Lindlahr (1862-1924). Manoel Lazaeta Acharan from Chile, Nu Capo from Spain, Mário Sanchez from Brazil, Patrick Holford from England, Albert Mosseri-Natural Hygienist, from Egypt who later lived in France; Dr Norman Walker and Dr Harvey Kellog; The great Marc Ams - Natural Hygienist from Argentina who lives in Spain and Keki Sidwa from England. I could not fail to quote the works of Carl Pfeiffer dealing with mental health, brain chemistry, heavy metal chelation and Henry Schroeder, pioneer in environmental toxicology. I also own two facebook book albums. The first presents results of my work with patients over the years , showing before and after photos , having oriented and implemented integrated health awareness methods that include food selection (what you choose, consume and how you spend your money on everything). what comes into your organism); your digestion (Shelton); its absorption (Jensen); its process of disposal and elimination (Jensen). Patients also took care of their oral health following the principles of Holistic Dentistry; they follow the alkaline diet and even eliminated hundreds of toxic products from their lives, laden with solvents and heavy metals.

Back when I could quote some paragraphs out of it by heart, like some sort of bible. For me it is still one of the more important books on healthy eating (even though I don't follow it often enough).Back when I could quote some paragraphs out of it by heart, like some sort of bible.

Vocabulary is very intricate but it has helped me how to better prepare my meals. It should be read by everyone, being patient with its high register. A better edition would be if it can be read in a way anyone may easily understand. It should be translated in all languages.

"The intelligent person, viewing the great number of so-called diseases that arise out of this prostration of the functions of life, and realising that they have one and all grown out of the habitual violations of the laws of life, will recognise at once that the first step in the restoration of health needs must be to make amends at once by the unconditional return to the simplicity and perfect obedience to the laws that have been so perseveringly violated." — 0 likes
