highly recommended

An excellent source of information

As a personal trainer my clients constantly come to me for advice on nutritional supplements. This book has been a valuable resource for me. I was suprised to find that the vitamin/mineral supplement (USANA) I currently use is rated #1. As a distributor for USANA, I use to book to show my clients that all nutritional supplements are not the same.

Fantastic Info on Healthy Supplements!

The first I had heard of Dr. MacWilliam's guide was when I was researching nutritional supplements to try to become healthier. Like many folks in today's modern society, my body has "taken a pounding" over time. I was pleasantly surprised that it was not only a guide, but also had other valuable information to help us better understand our bodies and why we need supplements in today's modern society.

I chose to further research his recommendations, and was excited to see that I could not find anything negative written in any of my research about his #1 pick, USANA. I did find a lot of positives out there, and having done my research, I decided to try the products. Being a teacher, it is difficult to find the time to eat right and exercise as I should.

After more research on USANA, I ended up not only trying the products, but became an Independent Distributor to help fund my new "habit". I haven't turned back since! It is so wonderful to feel more energy based on natural products and to see the light at the end of the tunnel on becoming healthier. I've always been opposed to added supplements, because for years doctors contended that all nutritional necessities can be found in food. Fortunately, I got past that, because today's foods aren't anywhere near as healthy as they were even a couple of decades ago!

You owe it to yourself to thoroughly research whatever it is that you plan on putting into your body, and Dr. MacWilliams gives us a great place to start!

Great Book---despite some of the skewed reviews

Over all, I thought the book was excellent. I took the time to read several of the previous reviews and have to comment on one in particular. The one by Mr. Marcel Raffoul "Honest Citizen". First and foremost the review section is supposed to be a reviews of books and not of the company that is rated #1 in the book.

I did some research on some of his accusations against USANA by Mr. Raffoul. Here's is what I found.

1. Dr. Lyle is NOT on the board of directors. You can look at the board of directors on the USANA web site.

2. The "Independent Assessment" of USANA says nothing more than USANA is an MLM company. He acts like this is a bad thing. They say on their web site they are a direct/MLM company and talk about the benefits of cutting out middle men to help keep costs down on their pharmaceutical grade products. Their products are pricey but I guess you get what you pay for and would be outrageous if you had to pay for distribution, waehousing and transportion, etc.... but I digress.

3. I also looked at Mr. Marcel Raffoul's other reviews and noticed that some of the books he reviewed were on Direct Selling and MLM stategies which indicates that he is probably in networm marketing, probably in a competitive company.

4. I also read that Maleuca accusations as well as the rebuttal. The rebuttal stated that the original accusations were derived from a previous edition (Edition 2) and since then they went to other independent labratories to ask what other criteria the vitamins could be tested on. These reponses were incorporated into the testing procedures and from what I could determine in the comparison would take the possibility of Dr. McWilliams to skew the results out of the equation and therefore indicates that Maleuca is simply irritated that McWilliams revealed that their products are lacking in quality.

Another note on Centrum. Centrum is the biggest selling vitamin in the U.S. and apparently in Australia as well. It is well documented that as far as absorbability, it is severely lacking. I have talked to several nurses that call Centrum "bed pan bullets" because in patients that use them and use a bed pan, you can still read "Centrum" on the pill when it comes out. Yes, Centrum is much cheaper but again...you get what you pay for. If you want cheap vitamins, that don't work DON'T READ THIS BOOK, go down to WalGreens and buy the cheapest vitamin on the shelf.....you'll save a lot of money that way.

After doing a lot or research on the accuracy and claims by other reviewers, I believe the book and it's rating system are excellent. In addition, the book will teach you a lot on how vitamins work, oxidative stress in the body and how it promotes degenerative diseases. It will also teach you alot about anti-oxidants in supplements and how they prevent degenerative disease as well as how supplements are absobed in the body. I would consider this is a MUST READ book for anyone that is interested in their health.
