Good pronunciation of so many medical, chemical, biochemical and pharmaceutical terms.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No,because this is not a romance, by far. It is a manual; a superb manual of health and nutrition.
Together with a print version I'm using it to better my health, my family and friends.

Any additional comments?

Everybody in the Ministry of Disease (

Lots of information

Tons of good information. A few things I disagree with, but overall, excellent. A lot of scientific terms that may be difficult for the lay person to understand.

Good to very good, but

He credits his god for bio-miracles. Additionally is confused about what socialism is. Otherwise all med school students must read.

Tough listen but really educational

This book contains a lot of very technical information. There's lots of it that's easy to digest, but much of it requires a rewind and relisten to absorb. If you're serious about your health and really pay attention, this book has amazing information that is based on research and fact.
I listened to the audio book and then went and purchased the printed book for reference. It would be great if the author provided a .pdf reference for his vitamin recommendations and a few other items.
Overall it's an excellent listen. Just make sure to pay attention or you'll find yourself rewinding frequently

excellent

An excellent in-depth, well researched, review of nutrition by a retired neurosurgeon. An essential book for those interested in maintaining good health.

Good Tips on Nutrition and Toxins to Avoid

This book has lots of good tips on what to chemicals avoid and what supplements to take. It's a scary world out there! Mercury, aluminum, MSG and fluoride to name a few. It makes me wonder how polluted my brain and body already are! i agree with another reviewer that this book is challenging as an audiobook. Because, it lists a lot of details about supplements to take, and other chemicals to avoid. It would help if Audible.com offered a supplemental download like they do with some other books. Otherwise, you need to write down notes as you listen. And, it's hard to know all of the spellings. I'd also recommend the book, 'Doctor Yourself' by Andrew Saul. It's also more upbeat.

Very informative with HEAVY research

I loved the research that supported the authors claims. The author keeps hitting home the key supplements you should take. I went out to Costco and Amazon.com to get 4-5 supplements (out of the many)he recommends.

I am a Chiropractic student and plan on using information in this book to educate my future patients on Nutrition.

I would have given it 5 stars if a PDF of the supplements and the recommended dose he recommends listed by chapter.

He does mention "God" a few times which seemed out of place, but it didn't take away from the message.

interesting and informative

What made the experience of listening to Health and Nutrition Secrets That Can Save Your Life the most enjoyable?

I liked the in-depth coverage of what's harmful to the body and how it harms the body. Workable solutions were offered and although my antennae go up when I hear recommendations of supplements because someone's going to profit from them, this book offered other ways to prevent and treat these harmful poisons.

The book also suggested many ways to avoid these toxins and ways to keep the body healthy to dilute or prevent the effects of toxins.

I liked how the book spoke in detail about specific things that toxins do to the body. Now I understand why mercury, lead, MSG and DDT, for example, are so harmful, and why I should have my amalgam fillings removed.

Who was your favorite character and why?

N/A

What about Tom Weiner’s performance did you like?

He spoke clearly and slowly and pronounced very difficult words in an unhurried way. Nice tone too. I think this was a difficult book to read, given its scientific sections which could have sounded dull. His inflections kept the subject interesting.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Learn about toxins, how to avoid them and survive despite them.

Any additional comments?

I'm keeping this book so's I can hear it again later. There was a lot to digest. I wouldn't recommend this to someone who didn't have an interest in biology as there was a lot of in-depth information at the cellular level.
