Hippocrates LifeForce

by Brian R. Clement

The Hippocrates Health Institute has been the preeminent leader in the field of natural and complementary health care and education since 1956. Their philosophy is founded on the belief that a pure enzyme-rich diet, complemented by positive thinking and non-invasive therapies, is an essential element on the path to optimum health. Hippocrates Institute director Dr. Brian Clement shows how the Hippocrates LifeForce Program implements the use of raw living foods to help people stimulate natural immune defenses against cancer, heart disease, and other chronic diseases as well as maintain a healthy weight. This book is the result of many years of research in the field of human health, and includes case studies describing the experiences of people who have successfully healed themselves after conventional Western medicine had given them little of no hope for recovery.

Dr. Clement is the director of the Hippocrates Health Institute, which is the world's oldest natural health center. He's also an incredible lecturer.

Read this if you struggle with health in any way.

I got 3/4's of the way through the book then red flags kept coming to my attention left and right. What sounds like an average health book touting the virtues of vegan raw food lifestyle turns into a totally fabricated list of "trace minerals" found in foods like strontium and erythium with made up deficiencies and toxicities. Alot are rare earth metals that biological dangerous to humans and not benifiscial at all. He also touts eating sprouts more than regular vegetables. He gives minimal directions on how to sprout, juice, food combine etc. so there is no way to follow his lifeforce plan without signing up for his 3 week retreat. He failed to mention Sprouts, even home grown are dangerous to consume because contaminated seed harbor pathogens and have been major source of food born illness like E coli. Then I wondered why he never mention where his naturopathy/ phD came from and it is a diploma mill in Monserat! When I learned he got in trouble for practicing medicine without a license even Monserat said he never got his degree from them. This book is scary because it is just a marketing strategy to get you to sign up for their $9,000 dollar "health spa" for 3 weeks in West Palm. He says the center has been successful for over 50 years but he became the director in the 80's. You do the math.

A really interesting perspective about health - how it can be achieved through nutrition, exercise, spiritual practice and meaning (helping oneself and then inspiring others).
Also a very detailed explanation on raw foods and the type of foods that have lots of benefits on health - acompanied with many tables for each category.

Good book. Could have been longer, though. But Clement always provides solid info.
