 "Remarkable book" | 2009-06-26 |

In my sincerest opinion this book is the best book of its kind ever. Also, this book is Atkins' best work of his life, not even his famous diet.
You will appreciate his integrative aproach: natural therapies first, then if needed- medications. It is not about notion that vitamins and minerals in and pharmaceuticals- out. No, his viewpoint is objective and measured. For example, he lack's outrageous claims about supplements that many authors do: say, he does not claim that selenium will prevent you from getting cancer, he does not claim that boron will cause your libido shoot through the roof. No. Atkins is not afraid to admit that this or that supplement or natural substance is lacking evidence to support popular (but wrong) opinion.
You will appreciate his systemic approach. Meaning that when he talks about one supplement, say copper, he also mentions its relationship with zinc. Also, he mentions numerous times that one if taking therapeutical dose of one b vitamin, he has to take higher dose of all b vitamins.
You will aslo appreciate his courage and willingness to go against the grain of conventional medical wisdom. He backs it up with sources and his practice of many years.
Finally, when you finish this book, you will understand that you spent your money well. I promise you will come back to this book many many times (provided you are open minded). |

| "60,000 Patients Can't Be Wrong!" | 2009-01-30 |

Eleven years after it was first published, "Vita-Nutrient Solution" is still the BEST book ever written for the public about nutritional supplements.
You will find "real world", proven effective solutions to prevent & treat various forms of heart disease, diabetes, vision disorders, cancer, neurological disorders, joint & bone issues, digestive system impairments, prostate enlargement, women's life-cycle issues...and so much more.
Dr. Atkins' proved beyond any doubt that the right nutritional supplements, taken at the right dosages, and in the correct combinations DO indeed help prevent, slow the progression of and may even reverse so many life-destroying and life-impairing diseases that modern medicine is NOT doing a good job of preventing / treating.
Having treated 60,000 patients under "real world" conditions, Dr Atkins' proved beyond doubt that the right supplements DO work, and are extremely safe.
"Vita-Nutrient Solution - Nature's Answer to Drugs" shows you how to find effective NATURAL and safe alternatives to cholesterol-lowering, blood pressure-reducing and anti-blood clotting medicines to prevent & control heart disease that are not only free of side effects - they have "side benefits" (they do many other good things for your health).
You will learn how specific vitamins, minerals and certain herbs can control type 2 diabetes and diabetes-related complications.
Discover which nutrients can help slow the progression of, and even reverse macular degeneration and cataracts.
Find out which nutrients do indeed help prevent, slow the progression of, and may even reverse Alzheimer's, Parkinson's diseases, stroke, ALS and other horrific brain disorders.
And this is only the proverbial "tip of the iceberg".
I owned / managed vitamin stores. I used this book more than any other as a reference source to help customers find the right combination, dosages and forms of supplements to help them with their specific health concerns.
And many times, customers came back with their "before and after" lab test results that clearly showed the supplement(s) did what Dr. Atkins' said they would do.
Some of the information may be "outdated" by today's standards, thanks to advances in modern science, but 90% of the information is timeless.
This book may very well save your life or that of someone you love. At the very least, it will help you and your loved ones live a healthier, happier and more rewarding life.
I will ALWAYS treasure and value "Vita-Nutrient Solution - Nature's Answer to Drugs"...and so will you. |

| Prior to purchase, I was concerned this might be too "outdated" to be useful. I was wrong. Dr. Atkins was a brilliant man who shares in a personable way what is safe and what isn't--based on years of clinical practice, as well as personal study. Dr. Atkins years of experience can help you implement the plan that is going to work best for you far more quickly than starting from scratch. Dr. Atkins even shares a few pit falls to watch out for along the way, again from experience on a large client base over a number of years of practice. After owning this book for some time, I find the detailed INDEX in the back of the book is most helpful to look up that forgotten nugget. |

First thing I do whenever my health isn't what I want it to be is look up what vitamins Dr. Atkins recommends and it what dosages.
It's never failed me. May not work as quickly as prescribed medication, but in the end has the same effect and a lot healthier.
Cannot recommend this book more strongly. |

 "Good Supplement Information" | 2008-03-24 |
| - Reviewed By User: A30A5NI1089TTK |
This book covers uses for various supplements that are not always covered by other vitamin books.
The information is very helpful, but a few things are a little out of date, mostly because of what was or wasn't available when the book was written.
Overall, a good addition to your nutrition library if you're interested in using supplements or knowing more about what certain nutrients do. |
