Fats That Heal, Fats That Kill: The Complete Guide to Fats, Oils, Cholesterol and Human Health Kindle Edition

With severe deficiencies in nearly all essential vitamins, amino acids, minerals, and fatty-acids, Dr. Eramsus' Fats That Kill, Fats That Heal is a densely scientific, comprehensive, and invaluable piece of information on dieting. As per the title, the theme throughout the book is the vital need to incorporate fats and particularly the essential polyunsaturated ALA and LA omega fatty acids lacking in our diets. Both marine and plant omega-3s constitute vitamin F, which many properly don't know or hear much of.Through Erasmus' well exacuted details of the biological and functional processes of the omega-3s and the many ways the body utilizes it, including the activation of prostaglandins-1-the master regulator of many metabolic operations-our best efforts is to try to incorporate them into the diet daily. Taking a naturopathic approach, Dr. Erasmus sees the use of fresh seeds and their oil derivatives as healers of the many ailments now gripping​ the modern American. Since this book was written and published in the 80's, the lessons are still relevant today and I believe deficiencies are far worse well into the 21st century.What I enjoyed most from reading is that Erasmus' persuasion could be felt through his passion for this subject and is genuinely believable. He provides us with the real natural prescription for the many diseases and degenerative conditions, which is through natural dieting. the true healers of modern illnesses and diseases are not pharmaceutical drugs, but is, through time, making the effort to consume organic whole foods.

Dr. Udo's Fats that Heal, Fats that Kill is absolutely the best book on health and nutrition that I ever ever read and followed.Unlike many dozens of other tomes in this enormous field, it is filled with truth, and Udo's prescriptions actually work.While not an easy read,this book is well worth the effort expended to understand it, even at its most basic and practicable level.The Omega 3-6-9 oil formula [flax seed versus fish oil based], whether Udo's brand, Flora brand, or other comparable brands, is the all around wonder supplement for health. Some results, such as healthy and moist skin [the body's largest organ], can be seen immediately, and others, such as overall vitality and energy, are noticeable in days or weeks.I have even used it on a 12 year old dog with liver, thyroid, and other health issues with great success. She is dancing around with restored energy and appetite within a few weeks, after having had minimal success with expensive veterinary care for several months.Omega oil, in my case either Flora or Udo's, is undoubtedly the single most effective supplement Iof 7] that I take, with no close second!I highly recommend Udo's book, his originally discovered formula, and I highly commend Udo Erasmus to you.Sincerely,John l Perry [over 70]

Well this book was so good and informative, that I ended ordering two of them by mistake, and the return time was so short that I missed returning one of the books by just a couple of days. Anyway, what you'll find in this book could save your life, literally. There are 456 pages in this book. After reading only a bit of it, I now value the brands of oils I find in health food stores with the name UDO. Udo Erasmus breaks down a very complicating subject to a level that the average person can understand.

An excellent up to date book concerning Fats, and besides the Fats also Cholesterol, Cancer, Sugar, Herbs, and much more, even though it's printing in the year 1993. To me it's a shame that I did not learn about its existence before here in the year 2013, even though not having any health problems.By this book we, of course, especially are getting all of the information concerning the Fats, and thereby Oils. That is what we are getting from each of these of calories, the highest temperatures by which we must treat them, the difference of the amount of different Fatty acids composition in each of them, if they have been destroyed by producers, and if they are good or bad when it comes to our health. On the side 237 we are getting a Table with 32 Fats, showing the amount of the different Fatty acids which they are containing.Being so detailed, as the book is, and having so many sides, it took me many days to read it. Among the details, we for example on the side 73 are reading about lowering the Cholesterol, which among other have resulted in some cases of suicides. And concerning Cholesterol, for example, doctors 3 years ago, tried to put my wife on Drugs, which I then stopped by showing them, that among other, according to calculations taken from a Harvard book, my wife had much less chance than I, for getting a heart attack.And furthermore, concerning the Cholesterol, we on the side 335 are reading that 2 quarts/day, of whole milk, for some persons, can raise their Cholesterol levels from 180 mg/dl to 400 mg/dl in less than 2 months. But still all of the doctors, I yet here have met, only are prescribing Drugs to their patients, without asking what they daily are eating and drinking, and most of the patients blindly are following their doctors.And on the side 417 we are having Erasmus dialog with the Dean in the medical school where he was studying, and by this dialog he understand that persons, who are studying for being doctors, only are learning how to repair their patient, and not besides also in searching after the reasons to the actual failure. And on one sides we are reading that there have been Drugs giving up to 700 %, or more, in profit. This as the result of the producers making patented Drugs, instead of the better working, and healthier, natural Pills, as these would lower the profits. And that most doctors actual don't know about the better natural Pills, and furthermore are getting payments from the Drug producers.And concerning Cancer we among other, on the side 412, we are reading how patient cured for Cancer by natural ways, with full documents on this, since 1946 have been presented before the U.S. Senate. But this still up to date not have changed the politics, including information to the public.We for example also in the book are reading about Sugar which among other also is making influence about how fast we are aging. And much more of interesting detail we read in the book.A highly important and interesting book, which probably still in the future will continue being the best lexica concerning the Fats which we daily are eating. Tomorrow I'm going to lend the book to a doctor, to whom I'll be discussing about Drugs, but also about the Vitamins B3 (the Niacin) and K2, which we can't get here in Thailand.

I first purchased this book more than 30 years ago from a recently opened Whole Foods store in Dallas that had a book section.This along with William Davis' Wheat Belly are the most informative books on Health and Wellness. Very detailed.It outlines the cause of inflammation in the body, and how diabetes has its roots in fat metabolism and Metabolic Syndromes.I purchased a new copy on Amazon for $5.25. I wish there were an abbreviated version, or a synopsis for those who find it hard to read the entire volume, which is well worth reading.

I like this book in paper format, I am extremely disappointed that owning a digital copy in this modern age of so much greed means having to pay more.

a book of paramount importancethe source of Omega 3 and 6 revival buthe tells it like it is, not like the media or advertising mafia does!read it, it's paramount to understand the difference in between fatsand the intake you must have!

Great book and an eye opener. Buy it! you will not regret it.The only thing I found difficult is that the book has a lot of terms from chemistry and biology which makes the read a bit difficult at the beginning. However you can well skip that part if you are not too much into that kind of stuff.

Although this book is now over 20 years old much of the information inside would appear to be still important. This omnivore is not going to be converted to the vegetarian lifestyle any time soon but I am impressed with what can be learned from this book. Perhaps one day Udo Erasmus will get around to an update should one be needed.

Delivery as expected. Good condition. Very happy. Thank you.
