Dr. Atkins Vita-Nutrient Solution . Natures Answer to Drugs

Give us a break. Dr. Atkins has made a fortune hawking his high-protein diet, which has been a major contributor to yo-yo dieting, bad health and poor eating habits. That he is still promoting those now-defunct ideas should raise a warning flag for anyone seeking good advice and health. There are many better books available on nutrition and nutraceutical supplements.

I dont know how else to contact the Atkins Center to seek help. I have purchased 2 books, Diet Revolution and Via-Nutrient Solution. My concern is for my partner who has Multiple Sclerosis. I would like to clarify some of the instructions for treating MS. Please can you respond to me. My e-mail address is j.quigley@cqu.edu.au Thank you.

Because of my allergies and asthma, I was on Zyrtec, Advair, and had to carry an albuterol inhaler everywhere I went. I did the diet some years ago and it worked well. After seeing this book somewhere I decided to give it a try.

After reading this book I thought he Dr. Atikins lost it this time. There are a lot of vitamins he wants you to take. Plus he started selling his own line of vitamins so I thought ahhh, thats why. I talked to my doctor about it and he said it wouldnt work, you would just be waisting money because your body will piss it all away (literaly). I was spending USD150 on medications, the vitamins were about USD20, so I thought Id give it a try.

Well, I tried it, and it worked. I felt a lot better, and I didnt need to take the medications anymore.

The is probably the best book about vitamins, minerals, and herbs I have ever read. It has the most cutting edge research and up to date information of its type. Everyone who is concerned about their health should read this book cover to cover and refer to it over and over again.

Of the vitamin recipes of his that I used they worked. Book is up to date, easy to read, and so organized that following his regimes are simple. Similar to an Adelle Davis book, where he encompasses all aspects of health, not just one area like heart disease, but is also more recent, hence more accurate for today.

I last reviewed Dr. Atkins Vita-Nutrient Solution on the morning of 9/11/01...the darkest day in our countrys great history.

Since that day, I have come to have a greater appreciation for the work of the late Dr. Atkins. He dedicated his life to helping people...more than most people will ever realize.

Vita-Nutrient Solution is one of what I refer to as Dr. Atkins
triology (the other two are Age-Defying Diet and New Diet Revolution) of anti-aging breakthroughs...books designed to help people live longer, healthier, happier and more productive lives. What a great legacy he left for mankind indeed. His work will live on for many generations to come.

Ive been involved in the nutritional supplement industry for 11 years now. As an avid educator of the public about the positive benefits of proper nutritional supplementation, I can honestly say Vita-Nutrient Solution offers the most scientific-based information - and most important of all - real world proof (60,000 patients in 30 years treated at his Center for Complimentary Medicine) that nutritional supplements DO INDEED WORK.

Dr. Atkins trained under andamp. studied the works of some of the worlds most respected nutritional experts
(Carlton Fredericks, Weston A. Price, Roger Williams, Adelle Davis). Dr. Atkins combined the knowledge andamp. wisdom of these experts, along with the advances made in modern science, to master nutritional therapies for a wide range of health conditions, most notably for diseases of the cardiovascular system and insulin-related disorders.

Unlike most other books, which are based more on speculation / theory / hype, and are not well researched, Dr. Atkins wrote from a very unique perspective - he used these supplements on tens of thousands of people in his own medical practice...with people living under real world conditions - not in a controlled environment (laboratory) .

Vita-Nutrient Solution is loaded with reliable information on all of the key vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, amino acids, essential fatty acids needed by the human body to prevent andamp. reverse many of 20th century diet-induced ailments that plague our country today...due mostly to the over-consumption of refined sugar, white flour and man-made fats (hydrogenated oils, trans fats), as well as our heavy reliance on pharmaceutical drugs that only cover-up symptoms, do not address the CAUSE of the disease state, and DEPLETE your body of the very nutrients needed to heal itself.

By learning which nutrients your body MUST HAVE, what happens when you have sub-optimal levels of these nutrients, and how your body can heal itself when it is has what it needs, you can experience optimal health...despite what the TRILLION DOLLAR A YEAR American pharmaceutical cartel would have you beleive.

Vita-Nutrient Solution contains essential information about supplements that you will not find in other books. For example.....Do you know that there are EIGHT different natural forms of vitamin E

Do you know what the most effective form of vitamin B12 is

Do you know that a special form of a B complex vitamin significantly lowers cholesterol andamp. triglycerides - with absolutely no side-effects what so ever.

This is only a sample of some of the secrets youll discover in Vita-Nutrient Solution.

Youll discover supplements that 99pct. of the public has never heard about that can perform miracles for heart disease, diabetes, cancer, macular degeneration, Alzheimers andamp. many other incurable diseases of our times.

If you take vitamins, are considering taking them for the first time, or if you want to address specific health problems without having to rely on over-d, highly toxic pharmaceutical drugs, then you must read this book.

This is an excellent reference book on nutritional supplements. Far superior to any I have ever read. Page for page, you get relevant, researched information.

This comprehensive guide to nutritional supplements is the best Ive seen. It is completely up to date, tells you how to treat a wide variety of conditions with nutrients, and is backed by 1200 references. A must for anyone who takes supplements or wants to learn how to use them.

finaly a real book from an expirienced physician that share with the world his expirience with orthomolecular-suplements. this book should be given 10 stars, and i found this book a real guiding-book on the topic of suplements.there are many books on the subject in the market, but non of them is sow good,scientific,and corect in explining about suplements and their dosages in specific ilnesses as this aouthor did in that extraordinary book. i am an orthomolecular-nutritionisr,and i know what and how they operate, and if i give you (the readers)such a recommandation, then you can buy this book and i am sure that you will not feel that you throw your money for nothing. go ahead,grab this book now..

I refused to take the youll just have to accept things as they are approach my physician gave me. This book has helped me become healthier, as well as the rest of my family. Your health is in your hands too, they dont seem to teach prevention in med school as much as they do treatment. Dr. Atkins book should really be on everyones bookshelf.

This is a must for anyones health library. Not too complicated and an easy read. Very helpful for many problems any person may have.

This book is great and anyone interested in thier health should have it. I have been suffering from Candida(yeast overgrowth) and chronic gastritis for a year and the suggestions in the book are really helping me. My only complaint is that Dr. Atkins admits many M.D.s wont be receptive to his ideas but does not tell the reader that there are other health practioners who most likely will be. Naturopathic doctors(licensed in many states), certified nutritionists,chiropracters, and osteopathic doctors to name a few are often able and willing to reccomend
vitamin, mineral, herbal ect. ect. Peace and best wishes to anyone with a health problem and be in charge of your own health care..

This book is great. It has so much information on ways to heal, protect and sustain your body naturally. You dont have to be on his diet plan for them to work either. A must have for anyone who wants the real scoop on homeopathic healing.

I was skeptical that simply taking supplements would treat my SEVERE depression, but the prescription drugs had too many side effects and were becoming less and less effective with time. With my Drs approval, I slowly weaned myself off prescription antidepressants as I jumped right into Dr. Atkins recommendations for anxiety and depression. Im still shocked to tell you - I am completely drug free, have been for several months and I am feeling great. I credited this man with giving me a part of my life back. Thank you, Dr. Atkins.

I *was* given a break. I stumbled on Atkins book in the airport on the way to vacation. After reading the first chapter on the plane I was influenced immediately and did not eat any refined sugar/starch the whole vacation. It was the first time I came back from a vacation lighter. The book was a real eye opener to the dogma we know as the food pyramid. Isnt it funny how the quantities specified in the pyramid coincide exactly with the portions of food produced in the U.S. Anyway, vita-nutrient was a good read, as was diet revolution and health revolution. The only way possible to yo-yo is to go back to eating donuts, which is a no brainer to prevent because this is a lifestyle not a diet.

Only an overpaid doctor would recommend a zillion y supplements for a single condition, (28 for vascular health alone.) But Dr. Atkins does this with authority in a book which is well organized and clearly expressed. He truly knows his subject and gives the reader confidence in following his advice - if it can be afforded. I got the hardback edition because it will be in use for a very long time in my home.

This information on nutrition, like in all of Dr. Atkins books, is well researched and well written. Its easy to understand and enables the reader to identify a condition then follow the instructions to alleviate it.

We all know now that Atkins has been on the right track all along, but I had no idea how much of a role nutrition played until I took advantage of the research and resolved a long standing debilitating physical problem of my own.

Thank you Dr. Atkins.

This book has useful and helpful information about vitamins, minerals, amino acids and their role in the body. I couldnt be happier with the technical part, very well documented. However, a big con of this book is Dr. Atkins huge ego and conspiracy theories. He almost claims that he started the vitamin hype and the nutrition-based approach to medicine. We know this is not true. Many others deserve so much more credit. Also, he goes down a path of silly and unfounded arguments about how the government is evil and doesnt want to raise the RDA of certain nutrients. This is silly. The RDA should be as low as it can be. Otherwise food manufacturers would be adding tons of unnecessary vitamins to food, more than the bare minimum to just prevent diseases. People would feel compelled to take mega doses of vitamins without proper information about them. Its up to us to raise our intake if we want to. RDA is not supposed to be the optimum amount for everyone, just the minimum to prevent simple deficiencies that could cause diseases. Also, he uses intricate reasoning to arrive at conclusions that vitamins are not more widespread because food manufacturers lobby against them. One could argue the opposite, that vitamins are becoming widespread because their manufacturers are lobbying for people to accept them. Theres always a silly conspiracy theory for any subject. Dr. Atkins chose an absurd one and he stuck to it throughout his book. I suggest the reader takes his non-medical opinions (politics, RDA, etc) with a grain of salt. But not too much salt, because sodium is bad for you .-) Otherwise, the book is excellent.

A thorough survey of available vitamins, minerals, amino acids and herbal supplements. Dr. Atkins brings the perspective of his clinic where he has used these supplements to help thousands of patients live healthier lives.

Dr. Atkins suggests how much of each supplement should be taken and outlines synergistic combinations to achieve particular goals and to deal with particular health conditions.

The book is well referenced with Dr. Atkins citing hundreds of research projects around the globe to substantiate the points he makes.

Every health care provider should memorize this book.

Dr. Robert Atkins has once again shown the world that pharmaceuticals, hormone replacements and the typical high-carb low fat eating plan are not the answers to optimal health. When used in conjunction with a complementary physician, this book is a natural prescription pad. Through his own admission, Dr. Atkins does claim at the time of printing of the book, it is, to him considered obsolete. New discoveries are occuring every day in the world of vita-nutrients. We can only hope Dr. Atkins takes his own good advice, eats low carb, takes his Vita-Nutrients and stays around for many years to come.

I am so glad there are several doctors and researchers out there who are willing to attest to the healing power of nutritional supplements. Dr. Atkins has once again done a superb job at clearly explaining the types of supplements and the ways they can be used for optimum health. I have long been a follower of this mans work, but have been slow to get around to praising it here. Shame on me because Vita-Nutrient Solution is worth it. Many of the supplements he refers to I have found available for good choices and s at a site, iHerb which also has a great deal of informational documentation. I suggest you read through Atkins book and get convinced that nutritional supplements are what the body needs in this stress-filled, near-toxic environment. Then search the web and see that iHerb offers the best s.

This book surpasses all the books I own on herbs and vitamins. It also represents a life beyond being a prescription victim of the AMA. Again Dr. Atkins puts his tush on the line by giving people advice that is no where near conventional but puts the trust in the reader, his patient to try to heal themselves by natural and most often benign methods that bypass pharmaceutical side effects, toxic build up and cross interaction. He once again tries to change the staus quo with his off the beaten path knowledge and pays no mind to the flack he might receive in his efforts. This man believes in what he is doing and this book is a show-case of his whole medical stand point. I love it. A must for herbalist and vitamin-health gurus. A must for those with that want to take charge of their own health. Exhaustive and extensive about vitamins, the low-down on many products that the health industry over sells, and some you may never have heard of that could actually save your life. Dr. Atkins takes you on a very informed tour of the natural health product section, and teaches you a plethora of acquired knowlwdge.

Two years ago, I followed the Atkins diet and easily lost 30 pounds, increased my energy level, lowered my LDL cholesterol and boosted my HDLs. Ive had no trouble staying on the diet, and my health and stamina keep improving. Now Atkins gives us something even better. a well- documented, easy-to-use guide to using vitamins, minerals and other nutrients as the treatment of choice to overcome numerous conditions without the side-effects of drugs. Already, I followed his advice for zinc to completely clear up my acne in 5 days, and carnitine and chromium to further improve energy and mental outlook. This book and the complementary medicine movement may revolutionize health care in the United States.

This outstanding book solved what numerous doctors, clinics, university hospitals could not do in 20 years. Using the clear, concise, easy guidelines in this book, my 20 year problems of obesity and chronic depression started to disappear in days, and 5 weeks later I was a totally new person. This book is just outstanding. It covers a wide variety of illness and ailments. Amino acids and essential fatty acids were critical to my results, yet they are inexpensive, safe to use, and have no adverse side effects. Three doctors who use this type of approach are James Kwako MD, Santa Barbara, CA., and Julian Whitaker MD, Newport Beach, CA., and Priscilla Slagle MD, Los Angeles. they have years of experience and success. The dramatic results I got from this book cannot be over stated. I use iHerb and Jo Mar Laboratories for obtaining the products needed. I am not affiliated or connected with any book, doctor, company listed here. I donated 8 copies of the book to 2 county library systems. The book saved my life.
