Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Although I appreciated some of the common sense suggestions, I found myself wondering how anyone who holds down a full time job and/or takes care of a family could possibly do all the things Dr. Tombak suggests. For example, the chapter on Complete Body Cleaning recommends making your own toothpaste and using birch twigs to brush your teeth! The liver and kidney cleansing routines are so radical that I would be afraid of using them (and would have to take a week off work to accomplish them), and when I showed these techniques to my doctor she said that there were several issues that could actually be harmful to some people. In addition, the parts that I found helpful lost their credibility because of Dr. Tombak's references to "cosmic rhythms," tying certain disorders to one's astrological sign. He also generalized on health issues related to the color of one's eyes...not a very scientific standard on which to base diagnosis. I appreciate the ideas presented and trust that this book is written with the best intentions, but for a "normal" working American I'd have to advise against purchasing this book. (BTW - I also purchased "Health from God's Garden" as recommended by another reviewer of Dr. Tombak's book, and it's even more impractical than this one....I guess I'm just not ready for re-vamping my entire life and relearning everything I've known about health maintenance to be able to follow these authors' suggestions. I'm re-selling both of these books...perhaps someone who is recovering from cancer or something can make better use of these.)
