Probiotics Nature Internal Healers Natasha Trenev 0735918298477 Books Reviews
- My husband found this book in my chiropractor's wiring room and would go back to it every time I went. I finally decided I better hunt down a copy for him. We both love all the wonderful information in the book. It is well written and done so for a lay person. If you or a loved one suffers from anything from the stomach down you need to get as something in this book will help to ease the discomfort or explain it.
- I purchased the book in preparation for a health fair. I my topic was probiotics.
The book does have some great info on probiotics. It includes history of use, differences in strains and their function, dosages, and recommendation for probiotic use in various conditions.
Nonetheless, I found the book to be full of religious bias without being overtly prejudice.
I planned to have this book as part of my show-and-tell reading recommendation. I decided not to include it to avoid offending people.
The book DOES serve its purpose of providing good educational information (with references) on probiotics. - This was the book I was looking for. It gives excellent insight the uses and how probiotics contribute to health in various areas of the body and conditions. Good fast service.
- Perfect transactiion
- Very educational and well written.
- great
- This book is not only informative but entertaining from beginning to end. I travel with it everywhere so if i get a moment can learn more. Kudos to Ms. Trenev on her research. A must have for all.
- Easy to read, usually clear, with many references (but not numbered) and an index, this book gives a complete story of the development of friendly bacteria (probiotics) as oral supplements. There is a large section on specific treatment of many conditions, from antibiotic side-effects, to yeast infections, to Crohn's disease, irritable bowel syndrome, colitis, radiation damage, and many others for which probiotics may be the best or only effective treatment.
The usual "prescription" is to take by mouth gelatin capsules or powder stirred into water containing Lactobacillus acidophilus, L. bulgaricus and Bifidobacterium bifidum of particular strains found most effective. While the author's company, Natren, is barely mentioned in the book, the instructions on how to select the best commercial probiotic products point to the Natren products, which are also considered by others to be among the best.
Unfortunately, most diet advice, while common, is at odds with actual scientific findings. Trenev's recommendations are to eat a diet that provides 60% of its energy from complex carbohydrates (p31). Avoiding animal products is encouraged repeatedly backed up only by unsupported rationale on "putrefaction" of such foods in our digestive systems. The fact is that a meta-analysis of 24 diet trials on low-fat low-cholesterol diets showed that here was no significant effect of these diets on either coronary artery disease or total mortality (Garber, 1996; Ravnskov 1998).
Recommending low-fat diets to diabetics (p169) is especially destructive, since fats do not raise blood sugar or insulin levels at all (Bernstein, 2003).
The recommendation for breast milk was good.
Stating that there is no known cause for Crohn's disease (p163) ignores a great deal of evidence that this, celiac disease, colitis and other conditions are caused by food allergies, especially to the proteins in the whole grains that Trenev recommends so strongly (Eades, 2000; Braly, 2002; Smith, 2002). People should be tested for these allergies and avoid the offending foods, using probiotics only if this fails.
One does not have to drink milk or yogurt to get enough calcium (p42); it is present in cheeses, sardines, and some in all vegetables and nuts. Trenev promotes dairy products their vitamin B12 content, avoiding the fact that meat, fish and eggs are the best sources (McCully, 2000).
A number of other errors do no credit to this author 60,000-100,000 pounds is not 30,000-50,000 tons (p27). Description of a double-blind study was incorrect (p80). A pH of 5-6 is not alkaline (p84). Description of freeze-drying is not quite correct (p124). Caprylic acid is not hexanoic acid, but the 8-carbon octanoic acid (156). Fructooligosaccharides occur naturally and are also made enzymatically as food additives, not chemically, and are safe in general (deMan, 1999).
Reader beware - much good advice on probiotics in this book, but watch out for the rest.
