Optimal Health: The 7 Step System to Transforming Your Health with Nutritional Healing

Dr. Darren Schmidt credits those who came before him and rides on to bring us all he has discovered and used of modern health science to heal the body. HEAL. Not manage. Not treat. HEAL. Heal means “to become sound or healthy again.” The first page of Chapter 1 was enough reason to buy the book. The book must be read from the beginning, word for word, to get with his flow and follow his scientific (but totally understandable) conclusions. He has a few philosophical gems in there too. The vocabulary in the book is for the common man but if you come across something new (dirty electricity for example) be sure to clarify it for yourself. My dream would be that teachers of homeschoolers read the book and design lesson plans from it. Teachers learn, teach the kids, and everyone enjoys the process from there on out.

I watched a lot of Dr. Darren Schmidt's YouTube videos during the pandemic--and even took one of his online courses about the antiviral diet which was of great interest to me during COVID virus outbreak. In this book, Dr. Schmidt covers topics like the antiviral diet, the anti-bioburden diet, and the anti-fungsl diet on pages 153-164. I am glad I took his class;...glad he uploads videos on YouTube...and glad that I brought this book.

I have not even finished this book but I wanted to leave a review asap! I am about halfway through and this book has been so educational and helpful for holistic nutrition. I spent years using western medicine and though I think it has its place, there’s so many things that western medicine overlooks. Like PARASITES AND MOLD! I had black mold poisoning as a toddler and developed severe asthma from it. I went holistic 4 years ago and have finally found relief from not only mold, but also parasites. Something no medical doctor ever brought up to me. This book gives such a straight forward way of explaining how to navigate complex chronic issues that have underlying problems that medical doctors don’t address. Ever wonder why your skin conditions are always treated with a bandaid but never cured? Well this book explains what’s below the surface. Highly highly recommend!

Dr Schmidt stands out from other modern holistic doctors in his focus on getting to the real root of health problems (ie mold, parasites, heavy metal toxicity) beyond just adding or subtracting certain foods and minerals. This book gives a great summary of complex holistic health concepts in very easy to understand terms regardless of your level of knowledge of holistic medicine, and gives you a clear path to addressing those issues! Its an easy and informative read and I’ll definitely recommend it to friends and family who are just getting started on their holistic journeys

I am always on the lookout for natural and lifestyle help with different medical conditions. This book is the best one I have found so far. It combines science, proven results and common sense so you can help yourself and those you care about in a natural manner. This book is also well written and edited, so you can go to the sections that pertain to you with ease. It is well worth the money. I am reading it through for the second time. Such an eye opener.

Dr. Schmidt has written a very good book for those suffering from nutritional-caused health issues. Far too many do *not* know what is a "Proper human Diet" & many have this problem. The first symptom is obesity. Looking around, we may see obese people. But most do not know that is not a "normal" condition. It actually is a symptom & indicates dietary & nutritional issues. Dr. Schmidt's book aligns with health oriented doctors such as Dr. William Davis & Dr. Ken Berry (Author of the "Proper human Diet".). The few doctors promoting a healthy diet are in conflict with the medical 'class'. That 'class' has long profited from poor diet and malnutrition. But many people can reduce or eliminate health issues by simply changing their diet. Dr. Davis's "Wheat Belly" books were my 1st exposure to this idea. ATT, I weighed 280lb & subsequently lost 100lbs by simply changing my diet. Many others have tried this & had similar results. So I wholeheartedly recommend this change for others.

A great reference to have.

I have been a patient of Dr. Schmidt’s for two years now. He has laid out a path for my family to heal better than any other healthcare practitioner. His book clearly lays out the steps for everyone to heal their bodies from complex chronic illnesses. If you’re looking for an easy to understand process to heal yourself, Dr. Schmidt’s new book is a must read! We aren’t meant to be sick, and this book can be a huge step in your healing journey.

I was enjoying this and it does make sense, however it increasingly became clear it was one long advert to become a client. I will read through the list of literature/studies at the back and maybe look at some of the supplements and do the best I can as I simply can't afford a consultation, which after reading it and filling in a health survey is what the book leads to. Being on benefits it's just too much.
