<p>I listened to this amazing conversation with him today on Diane Rehm Show.
I was very, very intrigued who this guy was as he was making an absolute sense when it came to my own views on health, health care, health care reform, taking care of our bodies etc.
At the time of the show I did not know who he was so when I finally reached my computer I googled him and …voila, the guy whose books I have been avoiding because they looked way too new age to me!
Anyone familar with the persona?
I want to read Spontaneous Healing first…</p>
<p>Get the "Sound Body, Sound Mind " CD for relaxation. There is nothing quite like it!</p>
<p>If anyone is the area of Charlotte, NC, he will be speaking at Queens University of Charlotte on 9/29. Apparently, you can buy tickets through their website.</p>
<p>I buy the vitamin daily packs that he puts together. First ran across them when I was trying to help my daughter heal her collarbone and it was about eight different vitamins and supplements I wanted her to take; he had one daily packet that had them all. I then took them myself when I was healing after my bone surgery. I have no idea if the vitamins made any difference, but I did heal fairly quickly.</p>
<p>I still take the basic daily pack. (I notice, going to the web site, that you can have a daily pack custom-made for you. I may do that for my husband, since I’d like to get a bunch of things put in travel packs for him.)</p>
<p>I bought his books years ago, I think his books are helpful to me. They might improve my health a bit, but I don’t still don’t take any vitamins on a regular basis.</p>
<p>I like the guy. Have read a few of his books and caught him on Larry King a few times. Nothing wacko…just good common sense on living a healthy lifestyle.</p>
<p>A friend of mine swears she is alive due to a visit to his Tuscon clinic 2 years ago.</p>
<p>I still use the nordic natural omega 3 supplements he recommended years ago (even with his own higher priced ones for sale)I like his books and he seems very balanced to me in his information.</p>
<p>I am not a big believer in supplements as our bodies do not absorb from them as easily as from fruit and veggies. His has struck me though as a very ^^balanced and honest person.</p>
<p>I agree Kelowna, but I know I don’t get enough Omega 3 and I can say I do notice a difference after a month or so when I don’t use it.</p>
<p>Ditto on the Omega 3. If I stop using a supplement, I notice in a couple of months that my hair is thinning. If I resume the supplements it takes about three months for my stylist to say (without prompting) that my hair is looking better. I eat sardines and other fish, but not often enough to do the trick. </p>
<p>I have been reading Andrew Weil for years and he has often been at the forefront of new research. I love his philosophy that the body has a remarkable capacity for healing.</p>
<p>PS - I still like his early book, “Spontaneous Healing” the best. I am cynical by nature and I am a little disappointed that he has so many products these days.</p>
<p>I’ve been consulting his website for many years and learned so much from him. My hope is that the next generation of MDs include many of his protocols and that his influence is spread far and wide. In fact, I think I’m kind of seeing this happen already. It’s about time.</p>
