Hazel
Courteney is a journalist, author and broadcaster with an extensive
knowledge of alternative
medicine, and her latest book is easy to dip into with it’s A-Z format
and simple lists. Much of the
advice is based on healthy eating and is pretty much common sense, though
sometimes the author gets a bit carried away about which foods to eat,
which to avoid. And she’s
horribly keen on blending things like wheat germ, pumpkin seeds, soya milk
and prunes.
Overall,
there’s a huge amount of interesting and useful information packed into
this book.
If you are into
alternative remedies or take vitamin supplements, there is much to learn.

I
read this excellent book straight off from start to finish in about an
hour, and found it most enlightening and explanatory.
My family suffers from an inherited form of dangerously high
cholesterol, and I learned so much more about the condition and how to
lower cholesterol levels.
Victor
Marks suffered a severe heart attack and spent time after surgery in
intensive care. He recovered
sufficiently to resume normal life and his contribution to this book
provides reassurance to anyone in a similar position. His advice is to
‘think positive’ and he
inspires the reader to regain confidence.
Cardiologist Gerald
Lewis and Monica Lewis with her holistic approach, also explain everything
in an easy to understand and interesting manner.
I would recommend it to anyone who has had heart disease or is
worried about their cholesterol levels or angina.
