In 1971 Dr. Phillip Zimbardo joined the likes of Milgram and Munoz as being perhaps one of the most dubious researchers at the edge of psychology.

What I found I enjoyed most about this book was the character development.

The old cliche is true - Dr. Miller has been my personal doctor for years and proved it to me. Her approach helped my health and well-being tremendously and is so logical and common sense - it's a shame that more doctors don't use nutrition as the first line of defense and offense for good health.
