ULTRAPREVENTION

The five forces of illness--malnutrition, impaired metabolism, inflammation, impaired detoxification, and oxidative stress--are easily influenced by lifestyle and dietary changes that the authors package into a nicely structured six-week plan. Their point of view is expansive, eclectic, and highly motivating. With natural and inviting language, they explain a massive array of medical and alternative therapies. Nelson Runger's pacing is too slow, but he is otherwise tuned in to the content and obscures only some of the authors' boyish enthusiasm. The 4.5 hour abridged production (Simon & Schuster) narrated by the authors unfolds more quickly and is no less useful. T.W. © AudioFile 2001, Portland, Maine [Published: DEC 05/ JAN 06]
