Peak Performance, Radiant Health: Moving Beyond the Zone

I read this book in 2012. I wish I had read this in 1998. This book blows the cover off popular nutrition recommendations. The lo fat hi carb diet recommended for over 40 years has led to diabetes, cardiovascular disease and cancer. Peskin's findings changes all that. EFA's or PEO's as he likes to call them take front and center stage in the fight against the aforementioned three biggest diseases facing Americans today. His zero plaque reading resulting from taking his recommended oils should tell you it works. He eats a pound of steak every other day. Dietitians tell you to avoid red meats. I guess they need to revise their recommendations. Another important piece of advice is the Essiac Tonic. It is a mild but thorough detoxifier. I have lost weight using it. Using his recommendations I have reduced pain and inflammation. I reduced carb cravings. I still eat them but do not gorge on them. I have improved my urine flow. I am 57 and do not have to wake up to pee in the middle of the night. I control my arthritis too. The pain and stiffness doesn't last all night after bowling and I do not take NSAIDS. It's almost a miracle. I do not have cancer as far as I know and according to Peskin EFA's can prevent cancer. If you have anyone in your life who has cancer or has died from it especially before their time this is of vital importance. With cancer rates soaring, pain and suffering also soars which could all be needless. There are also many lesser but happy improvements in life such as the regulation of hormone levels which we all know lessen as we age. My skin feels softer and silkier. I not as lethargic as I was a few years ago. I'm glad I read this book and highly advise all to read it.

After reading this book, reader is on a mission to find products which meet books criteria...and isn't it just a coincidence that the author just happens to manufacture those products but doesn't mention them...nor does he mention specific dosages which I found deceiving.

Peak Performance was written in 1998,--- his new book was written in 2008.So expect some changes...Both books are thought provoking--- in terms of going against conventional thinking...This guy is not stupid...or just writing books ad naseum for a living--- so read it with an open mind.

This “used” book is not what it said in the description. It more worn than mention and is not autographed. There is a note inside, not an autograph. Not very happy with purchase, but considering the price it doesn’t seem practical to return. I guess I should of bought it new.Unfortunately I had this book in great condition before the fire.

if you want to know what you really need to know, and not what the retail markets want you to know, about your health, then this is the perfect guide!

I read this book when it first came out! I lost it over the years. I've ordered another. I've been a BIG fan of their EFA supplements! They're the only ones that keep me functioning! Otherwise, I'd sleep all day!I'm running terribly low on your EFA supplements and can not get anyone to call this long time user back. Radiant Health, Best of Health America, please return my calls or emails, I dont want to run out!!!!

Very profitable books. Mainly the book Primal Body, Primal Mind.Thank for your kind assistance.

Peskin takes the conventional "healthy" high-carbohydrate diet and blows it out of the water. Largely because of its effect on the hormones insulin and glucagon, he convincingly demonstrates how eating too much of this macronutrient has contributed significantly to America's epidemic of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and obesity.The author stresses a diet with plenty of high quality protein, essential fatty acids (EFA's), and low in carbohydrates - especially processed.Peskin's arguments are based on, and well supported with a myriad of references and footnotes to scientific documents. My one big criticism of the book is that he tries much too hard to trademark the science, and repeatedly peddles his own brand of supplements, which gives the book an "infomercial" feel to it.Still, I highly recommend this book to anyone who is serious about eating healthy and willing to set popular opinion aside.

At last, we have a clear cut picture of both sides. This book is exceptional towards explaining, for this 76 year old, a clear cut path tobetter health. I have completed 3/4 of my time now for the remaining 1/4 with the help and guidance of Prof Peskin.

Clearly written for the lay person, uses useful illustrations and explains the following key points. How processed oils are a major cause of poor health and disease. That fish oil is harmful in multiple different ways. And Parent Essential Oils are the key to cellular oxygenation and disease prevention.However, Peskin does not reveal the blend of EFAs as he wants you to buy his product.

Good science and common sense.
