What I Learned From Reading "Get Healthy Now!" By Charles Volcalatte At Isnare.com Ezine Articles

Get Healthy Now! with Gary Null: A Complete Guide to Prevention, Treatment and Healthy Living is a another health and wellness tome from Gary Null. The author has written about 50 books and has created a business empire out of “holistic health” with his line of supplements, vitamins, books, and other products.

With the glut of weight loss products in the market from pills to gadgets, books to online diet programs, consumers easily get overwhelmed and need help in deciding which one is for them. In this review, we will take a look at this book and find out if it has anything innovative or unique to offer that would benefit dieters.

Concept

In all his books, Gary Null does not deviate from the tried and true weight loss concepts. What he does with every outing is to embellish and update but the basic ideas remain constant. His approach includes fasting for detoxification and eating a vegetarian diet. The latter consists of organic fruits, vegetables, grains and pure spring drinking water. Sugar and excessive gluten are to be avoided, if not completely eliminated.

Design

Unlike his other books which are more focused on a particular topic, this one is more like a source book or an encyclopedia of diets and different healing methods. It features a collection of diets designed to address different ailments. A high fiber diet for example, is said to encourage better colon health. Null also includes dietary suggestions to address various illnesses such as eating disorders, depression, arthritis, TMJ, pain management, insomnia, obsessive-compulsive disorders, among others.

Some readers may find this book of over a thousand pages somewhat overwhelming. Almost 200 pages are devoted to information about practitioners of different alternative therapies such as mind/body relaxation techniques, Rolfing, the Alexander technique, cranial balancing, “herbalism”, detoxification to name a few. These unorthodox therapies are believed to improve health, promote weight loss and enhance anti-aging abilities.

Lifestyle

We appreciate that Null also stresses the need for regular physical activity. As mentioned, the author sticks to the basic concepts of weight loss. Exercise has always been one of the healthiest ways to lose weight and achieve good health. The great thing about it is that a little exercise, such as an evening walk, can already do wonders. Null also provides readers with delicious recipes which they need to help them meet their dietary goals. However, we noticed that in some testimonies, people expressed difficulty in following the recipes. This kind of feedback speaks a lot about the “do-ablity” of a certain plan.

Positives

• Readers are provided with a large amount of data
• Includes a list of alternative health care providers

Negatives

• Some negative testimonials posted
• No research which supports claims posted
• Not a uniform weight loss plan

Final Thoughts

This book would be a good general resource material on diet, nutrition and exercise with a large amount of data included about a wide range of related topics including illnesses and alternative healing. It is not the type of book that would provide individuals with step-by-step instructions of a specific weight loss dietary plan.
