The Complete Plan on Well Being
After reading all of the reviews on Dr. Weil's 8 Weeks, I am stunned to find anyone say anything negative. There is no medical question that the program outlined in this book is healthy for all people. Dr. Weil certainly urges people to consult with their own health care provider if they need other help. My best friend and I have been on the program. I feel 100% better both physically and emotionally, as well as spiritually. My friend has lost 30 lbs, her blood pressure has stabilized, and her doctor has taken her off of a blood pressure medication she has been on for 15 years! Reading everything he has written not only inspires me to live healthy, but has inspired me to begin studying naturopathic medicine and it is a pleasure to talk with others about good health. I give this book every chance I get and have probably bought 20 copies thus far. Without hesitation, I recommend this book to anyone, even if you feel you are in good health. Its just good living. Anyone interested in talking more, feel free to contact me.

Reasonable! That's why Dr. Weil's book is selling.
As a health professional and "former" nationally competitive athelete, I am, by nature, very skeptical of most fitness and self help books. Despite this, I found myself unusually drawn to this one after seeing Dr. Weil on several TV shows. His success is based in his traditional backround as a Harvard MD (credibility), his non-traditional approach (objectivity), his slightly offbeat appearance and delivery (maketability), and his moderate philosophy (REASONABILITY). It would take a hundred years to test all of his hypotheses but no one will be harmed by his recommendations. Most will be much healthier even if they follow his "reasonable", easy to maintain suggestions only partially. Busy humans need a plan and this is a good one. I really don't care why but I feel better already and so can you.

Read these reviews closely!
Everyone, please pay close attention to the reviews posted for this book. The negative reviews are full of typos, anger and poorly constructed thoughts. This book advocates healthy, compassionate eating. Eat wisely and live lightly on the earth. While some of the ideas put forth by Dr. Weil may be slightly unconventional or to some, even extreme... you certainly do not need to implement them all. Just a handful could change your life. Just give it a try!
