Hell's Kitchen: Causes, Prevention and Cure of Obesity, Diabetes and Metabolic Syndrome

Hell's Kitchen: Causes, Prevention and Cure of Obesity, Diabetes and Metabolic Syndrome This is one of the best books I've read on what to look for in vitamins and what these minerals are and how they are really needed by the body. I have listened to the DVD that came with it on Dead Doctors Don't Lie several times and taken notes to better understand my bodily needs and am trying to adjust accordingly. Everyone needs this book.

In this easy to read book Dr Wallach introduces the concept that animals that are thought to die of natural causes on investigation are always found to die of some sort of nutrient deficiency. He explains how for over the last 50 years that many common diseases in man, have been completely eradicated in animal farming techniques with the inclusion of specific combination of nutrients to their diet. He talks about how we get fat searching for some nutrients in our food that our bodies can’t seem to find. He discusses how common some food intolerance's really are and how they directly affect our mineral absorption which has consequences. There is one bit of free advice on food choices that if followed could add as much as 20 years to your life. I find this all really fascinating, you will find me really getting into it in the Facebook group; Warrior Immune System.In 2011 I was told around 18 times by medical professionals that, without their treatment, I would fairly shortly die a slow and painful death from throat cancer (non smoker). After their slash, burn and poison treatment I was fairly well convinced that they were right. On recovery I explored the Internet seeking to improve my 50% five year batting average. In mid 2014 I listened to Dr Joel Wallach ND, talk on nutrition, since then I have read most of his books, followed his advice as much as I can and I have to say that I remain really impressed. I no longer worry about dying from the cancer returning because Dr Wallach has explained to me in his books and talks the science of health, nutrition and longevity, and given me access to the raw materials that are essential for my body.Unfortunately I still lose far to many friends and family to preventable chronic diseases in part because I can't get them to read his books or follow my Facebook group Warrior Immune System that I set up to help present his work.

This book starts with basics and proves how we have changed our eating and become obese. It is historical in nature but you surely can see the habit structures of how eating has changed each society. He offers many alternatives and suggestions for eating properly to regain and redeem incorrect habits. Dr. Wallach is brilliant and offers years of proven statistics and just plain common sense into why we are physically ill in body. He proves it is due to our choices of poor eating and believing the lies of the food production system and governmental controls or lack of controls that rule our food chains. The bottom line our eating is "our choice".

First part of the book is entirely useless. Filled with random facts and historical figures that have nothing to do with the issue but it was still interesting. it could have been summarized with 'use wood ashes to fertilize your garden because they contain essential vitamins and minerals from the wood after the carbon has been burned away.'. The rest of the book was great and filled with a lot of useful information that the medical industry has no interest in revealing.

Upon skimming the book it is quite evident there is much historical information contained within. To the average reader who just wants the answers handed to them on a silver platter this is not the book for them. However, if you are seeking insight as to WHY there is a growing propensity towards diseases of affluence and how our species evolved to this point, then look no further.Hell's Kitchen relates what has transpired in the evolution of the Human mammal and gives general insight as to which steps to take to reverse this trend on an individual level. In Hell's Kitchen: Causes, Prevention and Cure of Obesity, Diabetes and Metabolic SyndromeDr. Wallach does not recommend specific products or formulations, he leaves that up to the reader to decide for themselves.5 stars for the Truth5 stars for the related historical content4 stars for the editing / organization of the bookYes, some of the same information included in this book is contained in Wallach's other books including Immortality and Dead Doctor's Don't Lie. However, this book delves far deeper into the historical context of why there are so many chronic cases of diseases of affluence and how modern inventions along with corruption and greed have all combined to create a perfect theater for chronic diseases that could otherwise be prevented.Following Dr. Wallach's guidance of supplementing with minerals, vitamins (particularly the Bs), amino acids, etc I immediately shed 15 pounds in less than a week and kept the weight off.For those who may question Dr. Wallach's higher level background and insight into "diseases of the human animal" over other so-called Medical Professionals, I refer them to study the tome Diseases of Exotic Animals by Dr. Joel Wallach, DVM, ND.
