What Your Doctor Doesn't Know about Nutritional Medicine May Be Killing You [Paperback]

I started reading this book years after it being recommended to me. I don't know why I took sooo long! I believe that anyone can benefit from reading this book but in particular, those who are currently suffering with an illness or who have a close relative(s) who is unwell. It's not a miracle book but it gives hope in otherwise hopeless situations, where the medical service is concerned. Dr Strand has done a fantastic job in allowing both medical professionals and laymen to enjoy this books, with detailed language and concepts, along side real life stories. I believe EVERYONE should buy this book!

WOW!!! This book is amazing. It is such an eye opener and so true. I read the book over 2 years ago and am only writing my review now. I have adopted so many of Dr. Ray's teachings and am amazed at the change in my family's health. My parents and in-laws have read this book and have changed how they take their vitamins and the kind of vitamins they take and it has transformed their lives. Thank yo u for being so frank Dr. Ray!!!

I like everything about this book

I used to think nutritional supplements were a complete waste of time and money. But as part of some research I was doing for a book I've written on a large-scale self-healing project, I stumbled upon this information and it was shocking, to be honest. I was halfway through it when I found myself investigating specific items that applied to my own circumstances, and before long I was at a health food shop, buying a selection of 'goodies' that I must confess have made a big difference in my previously ill health. The book is an easy read and is filled with fact-based information, followed up with specific case studies. You don't need to be ill to read it or use the information in it; in fact, you're better off reading it to prevent illness. Do yourself a huge favour and read it, or buy it for anyone you think might be interested.

Received in near new condition, very clean, superb value and excellent content to help me better understand my health and self care

a lot of very useful information in here that I have also been reading about in other nutritional books and this backs up,or is backed up by other research. I would recommend reading it in (excuse the pun) bite size chunks, to enable the information to sink in as there is a LOT of information in this book. I have learned a lot and have recommended it to friends whose health, like mine, is not what it should be. not dismissive of conventional medicine, but an alternative viewpoint to work in parallel until symptoms clear.

Excellent book, well written, easy to follow and understand. Good research and knowledge base in the book and the personal experiences really help to relate to the subject

Lots of information..

The book is printed in 2002, but I must say that it’s hard to that it would be different if it first was printed this year, this because the antioxidant advises nearly is up to date, and because unfortunately still most doctors still don’t understand the importance in natural antioxidants, but instead blindly only trusts drugs. Still we read that only 7 % of doctors learn about vitamins and minerals, and that doctors tend to look at nutrients as being drugs. Even though I own around 300 doctors and health books I still by this book found important information. Especially I now see how helpful, and important, the Grape seed extract is in many sickness cases, besides by increasing the results from the vitamins and minerals. And when I then looked in my other books after Grape seed extract I found that I had forgotten what I earlier there had read as I nearly found nothing about it. And actually I’m going to buy Grape seed extract, to see if it can help in solving some of the problems which my wife during some years has talked about. In the book is interesting to read that when Ray was studied medical then the cholesterol level less than 320 was considered being normal, while now it the has fallen to 200, but that this in reality being a misunderstanding about LDL, as LDL is very healthy except for part of it which might have been oxidized. So only seldom the problem is the total cholesterol number, but instead id there are some oxidized LDL; just like we have the oxidizing problem to watch for throughout the body. Among other it’s delightful in the book to read the many cases, as most of these being truly amazing. For example, in the diabetes chapter we read about Joe whose ratio triglyceride / HDL was 40, by the cholesterol measure, while not allowed being higher than 2, if preventing diabetes. And then by changing his lifestyle after just 12 weeks his triticale ratio already had been turned down to only 2.5. But by in the book reading about the doctor misbelief in nutritional medicine, I clearly recall my own battle with doctors here in Chiang Mai, during now 13 years, mostly concerning the way in which they blindly believe to cures cholesterol and cancer. For example, when I back in 2011 received the book by Cohen, Suzy, RPH.: “Drug Muggers: Which Medications are Robbing Your Body of Essential Nutrients”, I then discovered that the drug which a doctor had put me on against stress, not was good for persons eating banana, or rice, which I daily are getting. I shoved the book to the doctor, but it didn’t chance anything in the hospital, the drug continued in being giving to patients. And I also from the book Burt Berkson, MD, PhD.: “The Alpha Lipoic Acid Breakthrough”, recalled how he would have been fired, hadn’t it come to the news, after he 2 * 2 times had saved the life of patients, poisoned by fungi, because he used ALA, (Alpha linolenic acid), which the hospital didn’t know about.

I ordered this book as a gift. I have the original publication and love it. In 2002, after a sudden heart attack doctors gave me 6 months to live. In 2007 I started having ischemic attacks in the brain and the specialists gave me 2 months to live. I followed the advice in the book in both cases and got everything under control. The only medication I need now, 22 years later, is a mild blood pressure medication. Great book.

This is a precious book for me. I even gifted 2 copies of it to 2 doctors.

Just amazing. This book opened my eyes in so many ways. So grateful for having access to this knowledge.🙏👍👍👍👍👍

That the medical community is not taught the power of nutritional medicine alongside the drug related solutions is a scandal. Dr Strand's book is an eye opener.
