Surprisingly Good, But With Faults

Revisado: 02-18-23

It definitely doesn't read like an audiobook; it is read as though the author is having a conversation (or rather, an unstructured lecture) with the listener, which makes for a more organic and enjoyable listen, and not simply someone reciting printed words on a page. A lot of nuggets of helpful information regarding personal health.
Of course, with such a loose narration, there can be potential faults when the author digresses from the main topic and becomes opinionated in matters not pertaining to health. The author's notion of having the government mandate and enforce speed limiters [governors] on personal vehicles is one of the most egregious violations of a Constitutional right I've heard. The author proclaims to be a champion for the preservation of 1st amendment rights when it comes to being allowed to freely promote his natural cures, yet he sees no issue with the tyrannical overreach of this measure to limit speed. The "speed kills" myth is widely believed, even by those who should know better [author]. Inattention and distractions, improperly maintained vehicles, and outright irresponsibility and foolishness are what kill - and that can happen at any speed.
Anyway, aside from detours, the book is a good read.

Every Disorder Is Ascribed to a D3 Deficiency

Revisado: 01-13-23

I will have to say that the author is incredibly accident-prone. So many injuries (I myself have never been athletic so it may go with the territory). Anyway, while I do not subscribe to the 'evolutionary' basis behind much of what is theorized, the chapter related to megadosing and its attendant results was of more interest. However, it is not entirely stated whether or not such elevated doses of D3 should be maintained in perpetuity or, if after one is satisfied with their results, should be lowered to a certain 'maintenance' dose (supposedly determined by blood tests).

My research and experience when dealing with a solution that is apparently as simplistic as this one is that it does work, but it is not the ONLY solution, as much as authors of their particular "take/do this one thing" solution may think. There are multiple paths to the same destination - D3 is one of them (Megadosing Vitamin C is also a 'miracle' cure). I have learned there are only two causes for every disease/disorder: mineral deficiency/malnutrition and an overabundance of toxins in the cells. In many cases, mineral/vitamin deficiencies encourage the proliferation of toxins, or the proliferation of toxins depletes the body's stores of nutrients. It is a "chicken/egg" phenomenon: in order to address the issue with D3 deficiency (or any other nutrient), the issue of the intake of toxins must also be addressed; otherwise, the problems may reappear.

As a person that has never worn sunscreen but continually suffers from D3 deficiency, I do not see this as a viable cause on its own. Much of one's Vitamin D is not actually absorbed through the skin, but through the eyes (how many people do I witness wearing shades/sunglasses while outdoors or driving?) Anyway, disease conditions such as Alzheimer's, multiple sclerosis, autism, lupus, etc. can also be eradicated by chelation of heavy metals - D3 may be what is needed to compensate for the under-regulation of cellular activity with the occasional megadosing to purge those toxins, but dietary and lifestyle changes in other areas will need to be practiced to prevent the accumulation of more toxins.

As for the narration, who cares? Not everyone sounds like Tom Brokaw - many of us have accents and tonal inflections and other linguistic idiosyncrasies that may be annoying to those who are from a different geographic region. I could clearly understand every word spoken so no big deal.

Cut the Music

Revisado: 04-25-21

The music in this narration is too loud and distracting and it's difficult to focus on what's being said.
