Summary: Life changing, well written and documented, effective
Comment: I have been around the block with vitamins, juicing,natural foods, etc. I improved on all of them to a certain extent, but it was expensive, time consuming, and promised to stay expensive, since there was no self-sustaining mechanism there. I always thought there was one piece missing to the puzzle. I think this is the piece, the Homeostatic Soil Organisms. And it is eventually self-sustaining. I didn't just read the book and intellectually evaluate it. I put it into practice. I had a history of candidiasis (20 years in various degrees), hyperthyroid (Graves disease) that was testing in normal ranges now, but the autoimmune marker was still there, and fibromyalgia (1.5 years). My hearing had been diminishing for 2 years, to the point I couldn't hear my fingers rubbing if held right next to the ear. I tried various medical treatments with moderate results. I saw an ENT and had an MRI to look for blockages. All negative. So I finally read this book (someone had loaned it to me) and it made a lot of sense with what I had already learned. So I started with Fungal Defense and Perfect Food and in 3 days I could hear next to my ear, and by the end of the week I could hear a soft rubbing of my fingers at arm's length! I've been able to cut my medication for fibromyalgia in half in less than 4 weeks. Yes, I'm doing the diet (not perfectly), but I've done the diet before and not with such dramatic results. The Fungal Defense seemed to take the cravings away too. The difference here is that I'm not just ingesting high levels of nutrients compensating for my compromised digestion that can only marginally utilize them. I'm healing the damage and innoculating my own system with healthy bacteria that was meant to be there anyway, and is meant to extract the nutrients from our food more efficiently. What I think is remarkable is that the goal is to recover using higher doses, but then to taper off after 90 days to a small maintenance dose. The company markets through health professionals and retail establishments, not multi-level marketing, a fact I appreciate. As for using coconut oil , the tests that indicated saturated fats are bad for your health were done on HYDROGENATED coconut oil. ALL hydrogenated oils are bad for your heart. I've researched good fats and bad fats and found Rubin's claim that coconut oil is healing to the gut to be supported and repeated in many other circles. It is particularly good for leaky gut. There is a big difference in brands. (I found the one by Laureece, Inc. being the best, with Garden of Life coming in a close second.) As for the biblical aspect of the diet, who would better know the best fuel for the body to run on but the Creator? I'd already been doing that diet, to my benefit, but the Fungal Defense and Primal Defense have added a new dimension to that benefit. I was so excited about what I'd read and with my own results, I gave back the borrowed book and now have two copies of my own, one for lending. There are very many studies documented in Patient Heal Thyself. So I encourage readers to not just give it an intellectual evaluation alone. Try it. That's where the proof is.

Summary: Book = Product Brochure
Comment: Let me start bottom side up...
I have suffered from crohn's for the past ten years, I'm 6'1', I weighed 185 pounds when i was 17 (10 years ago), within a half year from when this disease struck me I weighed 142 pounds - life was miserable - I could not be between people, for I didn't know when my gut will strike me next. Where ever I would go, I first would locate the nearest bathroom...
To make the story short - since then I have been on and off prednisone and asacol and pepcid for 10 years, with my docs constantly threatening with surgery. I was hospitalized 2-3 years ago with severe problems.
3 months ago I had another attack, I didn't want to go through all the medical procedures in order the doctor should let me get back on to steroids - so I went on to news groups - seeking for alternative treatments - someone recommend me that I read this book.
I read the book in it's entirety - I got really hooked on some of the products - specifically "primal defense" & "omega-zyme" and all I can say is "it's a miracle - it basically took 4 weeks, and most of my aches and pain began to subside - I am finally starting to feel my normal life again.
I am a true believer in his products.
You might ask why I only rate it 3 stars - simply because I look at it as a product brochure - with very little usefull information beyond his personal story and his product (per se - "patient heal thyself" hmmm with my products)

Summary: Intersting Book, Some Useful Info, But Questionable History
Comment: "Jordan was diagnosed at age 19 with Crohn's-Colitis, an "incurable" inflammatory disease of the bowel. His weight plummeted from 180 lbs to 104 lbs at a height of 6'1" and he was bedridden for almost two years. As in most chronic conditions, Jordan's immune system began to fail. He suffered from intestinal parasites, severe candida, extreme anemia, food allergies, diabetes, excruciating abdominal pain, chronic diarrhea, poor circulation, liver problems, chemical sensitivities, chronic fatigue, arthritis, insomnia, hair loss, intestinal dysbiosis, prostate and bladder infections, irregular heartbeat, eye inflammation and chronic depression. Jordan sought the help of approximately 70 health professionals from seven countries and tried more than 200 different alternative supplements. His illness did not respond to standard medicine or alternative medical approaches. He was forced to drop out of college and was bedridden for almost two years.
After standard medicine failed he was on a desperate search for alternatives. He was treated by Naturopaths, Homeopaths, Herbalists, Nutritionists, Immunologists, Acupuncturists and private clinics all over the world. Finally, after trying everything else with no improvement, his chiropractor father sent him some information on soil bacteria. In 1996, Jordan began taking a product that contained HSOs, Primal Defense. He started taking it and for a few weeks felt slightly worse. After 30 days he felt a sudden surge of energy and his digestive problems began to disappear. Within three months he gained his weight back. Within four months his body began to heal itself. "
This History is taken from Crohns.net. (A site which appears to be funded or supported by Jordan's books.) Yet as several readers have mentioned, how could someone that was ill from age 19 (1995 if he is 28 today), and began his own healing journey in 1996, have written 3 books, Obtained a Ph.D., a N.M.D., founded a company (which sells all the products marketed in his books), done all this vast intensive research, and healed himself from Chrons Disease. All this was done in 8 years? Maybe Jordan should write a book on time management. I have read two of his books, and most of the theories and information is just a hodge podge of many different diets and supplemental recommendations made for years by many different officianodos within the Natural Health Community woven together in his books to sell product. Most of the ideas and concepts will be helpful for most people, but there are far better products on the market for less money, that will achieve the same results as Garden Of Life Products. Please do your own research before totally subscribing to this kind of Marketing. There are many other great reference books that are truly dedicated to helping people heal thyself without price gouging and playing to peoples desperation. In Short, Go buy some really good Pro-Biotic Supplements, A really good greens formula, each raw vegetables (organic), moderate you carbs, get enough protein, and drink Aloe Vera Juice. These products any many more that are helpful for such conditions are also available, at a far more reasonanle cost, than Jordan's Garden Of Life products sell for; and are just as effective. But if your are having sucess with the Garden Of Life Products, great, stay with it, Healing yourself is the key, but if it is becoming more than your pocket book can stand, try checking the shelves at your Health Food Store and read the labels for similar products. I think you will find some very comprehensive products for less money, that are just as effective.
