Product Description:
In his new book, Dr. Weil explains how the mechanisms and processes of the body's healing system work. He delineates the ways in which an individual can optimize the functioning of his or her own system, and he explains the effects of the eight-week program, conceived to harness and support the internal healing system of our bodies.

Incorporating alternative medicines and treatments, he gives specific and detailed information on diet, exercise, stress reduction, breathing techniques, vitamins, supplements, herbs, and all the other components in the eight-week program. He customizes programs for special groups of people: pregnant women, overweight people, recovering alcoholics and drug abusers, those dealing with or overcoming heart problems, former cancer sufferers, people over 65, and a dozen other categories.

Building on the breakthrough thinking of Spontaneous Healing and drawing on the experiences of patients who have adopted his program, Dr. Weil's Eight Weeks to Optimum Health provides an invaluable means to maintain health and lessen the need for medical intervention.

Reader Reviews
"8 Weeks to Optimum Health" is an excellent informative book with sensible ideas. One of the points that he brings up is keeping the body at homeostasis, the purest and most healthiest period of one's life. It is hard to believe that in eight weeks one can bring his body back to a healthy state. And with Weil's suggestions for mental and physical well being you can continue to improve. Though going through your pantry or fridge and throwing out probably most of what is in it may be hard, it is the first and hardest step to achieving good health. It is also shocking to learn how bad oils and fats are for you. Another very surprising part of the book is about the ways water is bad for you. Clean water is essential for healthy living. One adjustment that may be very hard to make is replacing meat with soy foods, which Weil claims to be healthier. There are many healthy atlernatives to everyday diets and the book is filled with useful information. The most useful, and probably easiest to adjust to is the customized plans that Weil lays out for different genders and age groups. Weil also doesn't just preach healthy living but he gives excellent recipes at the end of the book to help one adjust and start being healthy. It is a good read and a good resource to refer to when your health is in question.
