About the author
Russell L. Blaylock
13 books36 followersDr. Blaylock is a board certified neurosurgeon, author and lecturer. He attended the LSU School of Medicine in New Orleans and completed his general surgical internship and neurosurgical residency at the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston, South Carolina. During his residency he ran the neurology program for one year and did a fellowship in neurosurgery after his residency. For the past 25 years he has practiced neurosurgery in addition to having a nutritional practice. He recently retired from both practices to devote full time to nutritional studies and research.
During his residency training he worked with the eminent neurosurgeon, Dr. Ludwig Kempe. Together they developed the transcallosal removal of intraventricular tumors, which is still used today. Dr. Blaylock presented their cases utilizing this technique to the Congress of Neurological Surgeons. They also developed the ventriculolymphatic shunt in the treatment of hydrocephalus. In addition, they conducted neuroanatomical studies together with the aim of developing improved approaches in vascular intracranial surgery.
He has continued a close personal friendship with Dr. Kempe over the ensuing years, who at age 91 continues to study neuroanatomy, ornithology and is an editor of a major journal on medieval studies. Of special note, Dr. Kempe climbed the Himalayan mountains at age 87, a testament of his robust health and enduring love of adventure..
It was during his residency that Dr. Blaylock did much of the primary work on intraventricular monitoring of craniocerebral trauma patients, which was reported in the scientific literature. He also worked closely with Dr. Peter Jannetta during Dr. Jennetta’s early research on vascular compression of the cranial nerves as a cause of trigeminal neuralgia and hemifacial spasm. Dr. Blaylock was one of the first neurosurgeons to utilize high-intensity nutritional supplementation in craniocerebral trauma patients, which met with great success.
Dr. Blaylock has written and illustrated three books. The first book was on the subject of excitotoxins (Excitotoxins: The Taste That Kills) and how they are related to diseases of the nervous system. His second book, Health and Nutrition Secrets That Can Save Your Life, covers the common basis of all diseases, nutritional protection against diseases of aging, protection against heavy metal toxicity, the fluoride debate, pesticide and herbicide toxicity, excitotoxin update, the vaccine controversy, protection against heart attacks and strokes and contains a new chapter on omega-3 fats. This book has been newly revised as an oversized paperback. His third book, Natural Strategies for Cancer Patients, was released in April, 2003 and discusses the ways to defeat cancer, enhance the effectiveness of conventional treatments and prevent complications associated with these treatments. In addition, he has written and illustrated three chapters in medical textbooks, written a booklet on nutritional protection against biological terrorism and written and illustrated a booklet on multiple sclerosis. He has written over 30 scientific papers in peer-reviewed journals on a number of subjects.
Since the publication of his first book he has been a guest on numerous national and international syndicated radio programs and appeared on the 700 Club several times. He appeared on Nutritionally Living with Dr. Ward Bond. Presently, he is engaged in a monthly radio program discussing his book, Health and Nutrition Secrets on Raymond Francis’ program Beyond Health. The series will run for 12 months. He lectures widely to both lay and professional medical audiences on a variety of nutritional subjects.

Amazing, don't know where to start! It is refreshing to see a Doctor being passionate about, what I would call, prevention "science". It is great to understand that so many disorders are reversible if we understand the needs and requirements of our bodies.
In addition, it sheds light on the pharmaceutical, food industry's, Health Organization's greed...

The only criticism that I have for this book is that it is written by an omnivorous doctor who seems kind of oblivious to the important benefits of a vegan diet and the dangers of animal products, but in many other ways there appears to be real life saving information here. If you agree that "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" then this one is highly recommended.

I'm keeping this book as a reference book of sorts. It is full of interesting things about nutrition and alarming facts about how our government agencies that were designed to assure the safety of the things in our food and environment have failed. Not a book to sit down and read end to end, and I will not take the mass of supplements recommended in it. BUT, I do read labels now and am more conscious of what I eat.

Almost half through the book, though I think I've skipped into sections and maybe read half the book going through it in reference. A very good book and would recommend to anyone concerned about their health or who have health issues.

Very good, very complete and very long!

The content and research stated in this book was very interesting and opened my eyes to many different heath risks in everyday life. I was only put off by the excessive use of nutritional supplements recommended by the author. The list was ridiculously excessive to me especially as I believe that with a diet full of nutrients and devoid of chemicals and other 'crap' your body will have all the nutrients it requires to be healthy an will not require a vast amount of supplements. Otherwise I enjoyed reading this book.

Nutrition and Disease Prevention
Although a little dated (2006) Dr. Blaylock was a prophet of the connections that are now frontline news revising the role of nutrition and chronic diseases and aging. Health care would be better off if all physicians were required to read this book. Because everybody doesn't always listen it should be repeated again and again.

Didn't find much useful here. There were also a thing or two that seemed wrong.
For example, he tied illnesses following vaccinations to there danger without relating this to normal illness rates, etc. As someone who isn't a huge fan of the way vaccines are done I should be on his side, but that argument (or at least how I read it) seems dangerously wrong

Great book, chock full of valuable info, but was a hard read for me, very scientific in terminology with extensive reference to cells, nerves, nerve endings etc... Great sections on Food Additives (MSG, Astpartame, Carageenan)

Overall a great book taking a look at the importance of nutrition.
It also devotes a chapter 'Surviving a Terrorist Attack' (i.e. nuclear exposure, biological warfare, etc.) and lists each attack along with a list of nutritional supplements to combat/support symptoms of each issue.

A complex tome that can be used as reference and to introduce some complex concepts about whats in our environment and how we take these things into our body and do not connect the dots between nutrition and health..
