Hi ,

I read this book a few months ago and found it interesting but was

dissappointed that it contained many " leaps to conclusion " without some

strong evidence. For example in your quote of the book the following

statement is made.

One of the things

ingesting wheat does is to set up a high probability of joint degeneration.

......In horses, too much grain in their diet can lead to a symptom called

foundering.

Foundering can be set off by too much grain, or many other metabolic

disruptions. But it is not a joint degeneration problem. It is a severe

inflamation of the tissue that holds the coffin bone to the hoof wall that

causes the coffin bone to sink down (and rotate) into the hoof, no longer

suspended by the tissue.

My point is that while he seems to have some good information in the book

that I agree with, I found several of these types of conclusions that cloud

the credibility, unlike NT. Just my thoughts. And not that I don't agree

that grains, flour and sugar are responsible for many of the chronic

diseases we suffer from.

Hi ,

Yes I agree, I wish he had references in the book so one could tell on what

he was basing his opinions and conclusions. I think he has a lot of good

points and I think he is a gifted healer but like many he has his opinions

which he seems unwilling to budge from or consider other data. Still I

think there is a lot of good information in the book and I think he has many

thought provoking points.
