Why You Should Read The Maker's Diet

And How You Can Now Get this New York Times Bestseller FREE!

To provide you the most important and useful health information in my free daily newsletter, I read tens of thousands of pages of heath information per year, and have been doing so for over two decades. This includes the latest studies, research, and guidance from other sources, as well as several hundred new health and nutrition books every year.

With that in mind, and the fact that I have authored two dietary books myself including a New York Times bestseller, I strongly urge you to consider the weight and sincerity of my following recommendation:

"The Maker's Diet: The 40-day Health Experience that will Change Your Life Forever," by Jordan S. Rubin, N.M.D., Ph.D., is an insightful and easy-to-follow dietary book whose principles can ultimately lead to your improved immune system so you can better avoid disease and premature aging, and optimize your weight for good.

In fact, whether you are fighting some illness or seeking to avoid disease and live as healthy as possible, you would be doing yourself a disservice by not reading The Maker's Diet.

How I Discovered This Informative New Book ... and Why You Should

I had known of Dr. Jordan Rubin as the founder of Garden of Life, one of the few companies whose health products I have come to trust for their true adherence to "natural" and high quality. With patients in my office (and also with myself) I had used a variety of their products to great benefit for some time, and so late last year I contacted Jordan to let him know I would be recommending several of Garden of Life's products on Mercola.com this year.

I now offer Garden of Life's exceptional hygiene product, Clenzology (if you want to avoid the flu, I urge you to try this) I also recommend several other Garden of Life products, but in my conversation with Dr. Rubin he also mentioned he had completed a book (The Maker's Diet) and would I "care to read an advance copy of it?" Because of my respect for his company, and because I knew Dr. Rubin had the credentials and an interesting background story, I agreed to read it ...

	Dear Dr. Mercola,
	"The Makers Diet book is fantastic, and Dr. Mercola backs up the philosophy. I am 51 years old. A year and 1/2 ago, I had surgery. I have battled with hypoglycemia all my life. For some reason, after the surgery, my low blood sugar spells, became unbearable. I was addicted to sugar to the point, I ate very little at my regular meals, and just ate snacks. I also had to have my stash of candy with me wherever I went. I was eating like every half hour, had no energy, and certainly no endurance. I felt old. I read the Maker's Diet, as soon as it came out and it inspired me to quit all sugar. Within a couple of weeks, my life was changed. I could go places without my candy, no more shaky spells, and sleeping at night! I have been working out and lost 10 pounds, went down from a 12 to 10 in pants. I feel better, than I did at 20! I started reading Dr. Mercola's newsletters, and have now started eliminating grains from my diet too. The Total Health book is tops on my Christmas list this year. I feel I have been given a new lease on life, thanks to Dr. Mercola, and The Maker's Diet." Karen Taylor Kewanee, IL Read More ...

My Recommendation

By the time I finished reading Chapter 3, "Life and Death in a Long Hollow Tube: The Importance of the GI Tract," I knew I'd be recommending this book in my e-newsletter. That chapter alone presents information that hadn't been covered effectively anywhere before, but was so critical that it will improve the lives of many who read and heed it.

The Maker's Diet did become a New York Times bestseller, with many excellent reviews from major publications and readers alike.

Improve Your Health and Life -- Read this Complimentary Book!

Dr. Jordan Rubin -- as a medical professional, a leader in the healthcare world, and perhaps most of all someone who has also really "been there" as a patient with serious disease that he overcame - displays both a strong depth and breadth of health and nutrition knowledge in The Maker's Diet and also an engrossing way of conveying that knowledge to readers.

To fully describe the many reasons you should read The Maker's Diet would take pages, but I'll offer a few key reasons here.

The Three I's

First, his program is designed around attacking the "Three I's" that have everything to do with the chronic diseases that are currently plaguing the nation (and merely being patched over by the existing medical establishment dominated by the drug companies):

• Insulin
• Infection
• Inflammation

Dr. Rubin provides a lot of insight - backed by studies and medical research - that presented in an understandable manner ... that is, in easy to read, clear and completely comprehensible language. This is particularly true in one of the book's pivotal areas, the extreme importance of gastrointestinal health. You will learn what most don't have nearly enough understanding of: that much of today's disease, even in areas that would seem unrelated, have everything to do with unhealthy and decimated GI tracts.

Rubin then provides a full range of solutions that are, in the truest sense of the word, "holistic." His 40-day program, broken into three two-week phases that are entirely sensible and proven to be easy to follow (extensive tests were conducted explicitly for the book), fully incorporates:

"The Four Pillars Of Health"

• Physical
• Spiritual
• Mental
• Emotional

You will learn about healthy foods, proper hygiene, exercise, body therapies, and much more on the physical level. No matter what your religious or spiritual background, you'll learn about the great health benefits of finding your "sense of purpose." You'll discover real steps to eliminate stress from your life, and much more in a mental and emotional sense.

As just a sampling of the more particular insights you'll discover in The Maker's Diet, you'll learn:
 

The Biblical and Scientific Origins of The Maker's Diet

As its name implies, The Maker's Diet has its roots in the Bible. In fact, to quote Peter R. Rothschild, M.D., Ph.D., who is both a distinguished Professor Emeritus of Immunology at the People's University of the Americas and an Archbishop, it is "the first book in the history of natural health that combines the timeless wisdom of the Bible with the best science has developed."

The Maker's Diet is a history-making book in that it is really the first to bridge both the Bible and dietary health and nutrition. What exactly does that mean?

Dr. Rubin's position, which he thoroughly proves in The Maker's Diet, is that the foods (and habits) cited throughout the Bible as those you should be eating and those you should be avoiding have, over the course of years of clinical study and research, proven to be true. To many who identify with the Christian faith like me, this will instantly prove to be a compelling reason in itself to read the book, and it is indeed a fascinating read in that regard alone.

Not Just for Christians

But before anyone else casts doubts on The Maker's Diet for this unique angle, let me reiterate - Rubin clearly did not set out to write a book "catering" to Christians or the like. Instead, over the years of research and clinical experience, it became apparent that the dietary recommendations in the Bible -- and it contains an astonishing range of such recommendations -- is indeed on target with what scientific research is now proving is the ideal diet to help us prevent disease and prolong life.

If you identify yourself as a Christian, then this book is must read for you. If you do not identify yourself as a Christian, then this book will is still for you for all the great understanding it will provide and improvement in your health. The book's intent is not to make a "believer" out of you in any religious sense, but it's intent IS to make you believe in the health and dietary advice it offers, and that advice is worthwhile.
 

Nothing But Life-Improving Benefits for You!

Inevitably some will wonder why I recommend that you read The Maker's Diet when I stand so resolutely as well behind my own dietary program in my book, "The Total Health Program." Here's why:

This Book Is a Great Addition To My New Total Health Book

At their base, you will see the two books, my Total Health Program and Dr. Rubin's The Maker's Diet, are quite complementary and "in concert" with one another. At the same time, you will see very little "overlap" in information, as each delves into a wide range of specifics that you won't find in the other, based on Rubin's and my own specific areas of knowledge and research.

In other words, the two together provide insightful and useful health information you can't find anywhere else. Furthermore, if you have my Total Health book, you'll find its metabolic typing focus and its 165 recipes work extremely well with Dr. Rubin's program.

Does that mean Dr. Rubin and I don't share any differences? Well, I've never heard of any two experts agreeing completely on any topic, so you'll see when reading his book that there are differences ... but very few.
