I wrote about nutrition for the health magazines for years, had all kinds of information at my fingertips, but when it came to my own health, this little book offered the most effective answers. I still go back to the Bieler diet when I need to lose weight, increase my energy, or avoid health problems that seem to be looming on the horizon. A friend of mine was a patient of Dr. Bieler's in the late '60s and reported that the good doctor was healthy, strong, radiant, virile, and working a full schedule into his eighties; apparently he took his own advice. Bieler did his research at about the same time that penicillin was introduced, so his work never got the recognition it deserved. Now, decades later, the public realizes that the so-called miracle drugs have frightening consequences. Bieler shows how to keep your body healthy and free of disease and offers dietary solutions to many ailments. Basics for everyone: No salt, sugar, honey. Have " Bieler Soup " daily: zucchini, green beans, parsley, celery cut up and simmered. These most alkaline veggies balance your system. Read the book for details.

This book teaches a holistic path of how the body uses food and how food can heal or destroy the body. I came across this book after suffering through my teenage years with chronic fatigue and severe athritis. This book explained why I was suffering and how to reverse my condition. After 1 month on the Bieler path, I found my symptoms improved 50%. Now, after 9 months, I feel like a completely new person. THIS BOOK IS MY BIBLE OF HEALTH. READ IT.

The sad truth today is that society is conditioned to rely too heavily on medication, even though they are warned yet still cannot follow this SIMPLE philosophy. Their time will come when they will face a lot of health degenerative challenges which all thanks are owed to killer drugs regardless of dosage (be it penicillin, insulin injection, or Tylenol etc). This is the book that everyone should read if they wish to live a healthier, longer life. I give credit to Dr. Bieler who lived ahead of his time. His wisdom and knowledge is evident as this book is written in a very straightforward style for readers to understand. How much this book holds your interest will depend how much you care about your own health. We only have one body (health) in a lifetime. It is worth your investment and money in your own pocket. From: Theta <calblonde1@...> Subject: Re: Re: " Food is Your Best Medicine " /Cold Processed Whey Powder-Cannot Find? Coconut Oil Date: Wednesday, December 1, 2010, 9:46 PM Henry G. Bieler, M.D., did not treat his patients with pharmaceuticals, but with food. He was very popular physician here in southern California in the last century. He treated many Hollywood types, such as Greta Garbo and Gloria Swanson, from his office in Pasadena and than in Capistrano Beach. I ate the foods he recommended to ease hypoadrenals (adrenal exhaustion) in his book, " Food Is Your Best Medicine " , and healed nicely. The statement of Hippocrates, " Thy food shall be thy remedy, " is as applicable today as it was centuries ago. In view of the milk processors and innovators of new forms of preserving milk by powdering or concentrating it, another aphorism of Hippocrates is equally timely: " For they praise what is outlandish before they know whether it is good, rather than the customary which they already know to be good: the bizarre, rather than the obvious. " " Disease can be cured through the proper use of correct foods. This statement may sound deceptively simple, but I have arrived at it only after intensive study of a highly complex subject: colloid and endocrine chemistry. " - Henry G. Bieler, M.D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 1, 2010 Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 Very interesting that penicillin came into vogue around the same time, so his methods fell by the wayside.
