The Seven Pillars of Health

This book is awesome. If covers so many aspects of health. It's an all in one, complete book on how to fully take care of your overall health, which includes drinking the RIGHT water, taking the RIGHT type of multi-vitamins, cutting out foods with additives, getting enough sleep, etc, etc. He covers everything. I love reading books about health and nutrition which usually covers a main area but Dr. Colbert goes over every aspect of health, which some I had no clue of. I had never heard of Alkaline water until this book and now I am all over it. I have read tons of books on this subject and loved them all but this by far is the most well rounded book. It's a very eye opening book and Dr. Colbert bases everything on the Word. He says it himself in this book, if it doesn't aline with the Word, he discards it. I think everyone should read this book, it's great! Pick up your copy today. I bought one for my mom and aunt. They love them. Check it out and see for yourself!

Most excellent book. Dr. Don Colbert has done major research to write this book as evidenced in the many pages of footnotes. He also writes from experience. This book teaches you the main seven areas of health in which we all can make changes God's way! It is filled with scripture and is backed up with a salvation prayer in the end. No change can be accomplished without God's help. Both my husband and I are nurses and STILL we learned a lot and have a long way to go! We have made several changes in all seven pillars and will continue to make the many changes to maintain our temple the way God wants us to. With change and obedience comes blessings! We are reaping the blessings already. Doctors and friends and family have noticed changes in our health and have purchased the book also. The book IS NOT A WEIGHT LOSS PROGRAM, but we have lost weight as a gift for being obedient! A must read for all, no matter how healthy you think you may be! To God be the glory! Thank you!

I just completed this book. Much of it is now underlined so I can go back and reference the different sections. I highly recommend this book to everyone. It teaches good, clean, healthy living and eating. Dr. Colbert emphasizes that we must eat living food, instead of the dead, processed and fast foods that are staples in the American diet. We must also drink pure water, not tap water. Most of these ideas were not new to me, but were explained in so much detail, and with the support of Scriptures.

Dr. Colbert addresses the essential areas of health in a reader friendly manner. He elimenates unnecessary medical jargon that basically prevents a reader from fully comprehending the material. Dr. Colbert includes daily step-by-step methods of diet, sleep, stress reducers and exercise recommendations. The book includes a wonderful appendix with resources of recommended products, dietary supplements and water suppliers. Although an individual should always check with their primary care physician before attemping any major dietary changes, this book is a "must" and should be included in everyone's library of health and healing materials. The Seven Pillars of Health covers the basic foundations of health and may be generally applicable. Qudos, Dr Colbert! Dr. Colbert and his wife, Mary, recently shared their expertise at a health expo at Crenshaw Christian Center in Los Angeles, California. The book was given great reviews.

I felt that he touched on very many good subjects. However, I'm the type of person that has her fingers in so many pots already, I just didn't want to have to be led through many multiple scenarios of what one should apply to their life to be perfectly well. I have done many of the things he already prescribed, including room ozone machines, although I may consider another one since I live in South Charlotte and I recently found out through my dermatologist, I have a fungal infection (nails separating from bed) but prescription is an oral tablet to kill it, so it could be coursing through system, not just nails. It may just solve my tiredness problem I've had for years since I relocated here in '05. There is much fungus in this area, big wild mushrooms grow in our back yard during the moist summer weather! Nevertheless, I want to also purchase a better water filter, so will need to study his recommendations on that. Good health to everyone!

Easy to read basic and in depth info on how to live healthier thru exercise, food and spiritual wellbeing. I was so impressed with the book's simplicity and thoroughness I sent it to several friends looking for healthier living guidelines

The Seven Pillars of Health is an extremely sturdy foundation to build a healthy life! There is SO much information in this book about just about everything related to health. I learned much from this book, and being divided into 50 days was a great way to space out the information. I had only one problem with this book...Dr. Colbert owns his own vitamin company! This was disappointing because it made me skeptical of Pillar 6: Nutritional Supplements. All of the supplements he reccomends, his company produces. However, Dr. Colbert does seem pretty trustworthy, but again read this pillar with a bit of caution. The other six pillars are fantastic and well worth it!

As a library director, I have access to any title we purchase for our collection. However, this is one I HAD to buy for myself at home. It ranks in my top five books on improving my health. The ideas are basic - - things we have always been taught but they are presented in an interesting way - - and in small pieces so you can digest one bite before proceeding on to the next. The great part is you aren't just told "what to do" but you are given explanations for the benefits of choosing certain behaviors or nutrition. You also are told the consequences, e.g., not getting enough sleep, not drinking water. Sometimes when we see the negative, it is an incentive to incorporate the positive. I am so impressed with this book that I am buying copies for my friends - - - especially those with chronic health diseases. If you are only going to buy one book on any health or weight issues, this is the one to purchase.

This book is amazing, been wanting to buy it for a year now, as I was fascinated to hear this doctor speak on health issues on television, but I hadn't jotted down his name, only a few months ago, I found this book for sale at a church and then got it via Amazon, what I love about the book, is that He writes it in a very simple easy to understand way, although He is a doctor, he speaks very plainly and goes straight to the point. I also wanted this book, because I had been experiencing tiredness and just generally unwell and unhappy body at 32, but neither me or the doctors could put the finger on it, straight away as I started reading the first chapters I realized what part of the problem was, followed the advise and the results were visible within days. Also found it very easy to follow as it is structured as a diary so you would read a new fact and advice per day, which breaks things up making it easy to digest. Another thing I love about this book is that is from the point view of prevention, I am sick and tired of maintenance, I prefer prevention, I don't want to get to my 40's feeling like an 60 year old, this book is a treasure and a must have for good health in general, and best of all very easy and fun to read which is usually quite hard to find in this category of reading.

Excelente abordagem. Autor visionário ! Valeu a leitura complementar para minha vida pessoal e profissional. Leitura agradável e rápida. Recomendo!

I bought this for a family member and they loved it. I can't really review it based on my own opinion because I personally have not read it, however the person I bought it for totally loved it! So based on that I am giving it an indirect 5 Star Rating. Thanks!

Thanks Dr. Colbert for sharing so much in short readable chapters so we can begin making changes TODAY! Shalom.

One of the best book I have ever read...got to know so many imp things on health. Will follow it throughout my life
