By request I have put together a list of amazing books that have influenced and shaped my life and knowledge.

Cholesterol seems to be all the rage. If your doctor is using the typical fear tactics to scare you silly, you will be well served by reading this book. If you want to know more about heart disease than most doctors you’ll ever meet then this book can give you valuable knowledge.

On that same theme the definitive book on fats is Mary Enig’s book. She is one of the most predominant authorities of the subject of fat. Governments hire her for her knowledge. She wrote this book herself, unlike most nutrition books that are written by journalists. It is a hard hitting book of facts and facts alone. Once again you can jump ahead of your doctor in the knowledge of fat. One word of caution, you should have some science background to get the most out of this book.

If you aren’t strong in science, that’s O.K. Check out my post on fats and oils. It is a summary of what to use and when.

One of the predominant authors about hormones is John Lee M.D. Most of the current authors on hormones started with Dr. Lee’s research. This is a must read for all women. Well for the men too. This is a good book for women who believe it is more important to PREVENT problems than wait for early detection.

John Lee MD has changed the way women transition into getting older more gracefully. This is the next book in the series.

O.K. I know it seems like overkill, but this was the last book he wrote, I believe. This is the pinnacle of his life’s work. I read this book because I have many women in my life I care about, my wife, daughters, mom, aunts, grandmothers, and yes my mother-in-law too. Breast cancer is a problem that doesn’t have to be. Start thinking about preventing it, because breast cancer can take 20 years to develop. Once you’re diagnosed your options dwindle quickly.

If you are taking medications this would be a wise book choice. Most doctors don’t realize the heavy nutritional cost of taking a prescription drug. This book was written by a couple of pharmacists. Hey, who knows more about drugs than them. For example: Aspirin –Depletes Vitamin C, Calcium, Folic Acid, Iron, Sodium, and Potassium. If you want all the ramifications from those depletions and they are fairly serious, the book has pages of explanations.

If you are struggling with any health issue and realize you might need some vitamins to help your deficiencies, then the quality of what you take makes all the difference in the world. Basically if you aren’t taking whole food supplements you aren’t taking anything I would take or give to my family. This is a good primer for knowledge.

If you ate at a fast food restaurant this week, you need this book desperately.

If you aren’t taking Virgin Coconut Oil or using it in your cooking, you, my friend, are missing a huge boat. This is one of the most nutritionally powerful oils on the planet. Our two staple oils in our house are organic extra virgin olive oil and organic virgin coconut oil. If your doctor is regurgitating the typical wahoo about saturated fats then you would benefit greatly from reading this book. Some of the wonderful testimonials relate to improved immune system, better thyroid function, and weight loss.

Chicken Soup for the Chiropractic Soul is sometimes a tough book to get. It doesn’t seem to be sold to mainstream America. They may only sell it to chiropractors. I have met both Mark Victor Hansen and Jack Canfield on multiple occasions at Chiropractic conferences and they have both written about their amazing history with chiropractic. The book is filled with other amazing stories. So many celebrities use chiropractic to get ahead and never seem to tell anyone.

This is a very easy to read primer for nutrition. It is a good basic book to get you thinking right about health and to get you headed down the right track. Patients like this book a lot because it is not overly technical and just makes good sense.

Hormones are a huge problem, especially for women. Men have problems too, they are just more subtle. Either way this should be mandatory reading if you are a woman. It is so well documented, it’s scary.

This book is out of print, but if you can get it and you ever want to see the misinformation in medical literature that never sees the main stream. This book is loaded. It makes you appreciate being or knowing a chiropractor or other natural health doctor.

If you don’t want to vaccinate your kid. None of mine were. And your doctor just doesn’t want to listen to any rational thought. This is a great book, beacuse it is FULL of research and references about the adverse effects of vaccines.

What can I say, but “wow”. Every person including ALL doctors should read this book. If you don’t drink water and have a health problem, even chronic pain, this will answer many health questions. If you still drink pop or soda depending where you are from, you may want to read this before you wreck your health any more. This is the bible about water.

I feel like a broken record, but once again a life changing book. If you have kids or are pregnant, your kids take medications for ADHD or are getting poor grades, you need this book. If you don’t want to end up losing your mind when you get order, get it.

If you only had $30 left to buy a book and you wanted to know more about nutrition than 99% of ALL doctors in the USA, this will teach you the fundamentals by Dr. Price’s travels all over the world. The forward alone to this book is worth the money. This book along with the writings of Dr. Royal Lee created the foundation for the way I see the world of nutrition. The probability that you will ever meet a doctor or nutritionist that has read this book is rare, rare, rare, and that is one of the reasons you see the dumb nutrition advice being pedaled today.

If you want to get pregnant and are having trouble and you can’t get to see a chiropractor. Read this.

Ok, for those of you who have started something and not finished, or never get around to starting anything, this is a must read. In fact, there is so much wisdom, in this book, I would consider it in my top 10 of all my books in all my subjects. It is a great book for having a great life and living at a high level.
