One of the Most Useful Natural Health Books Ever!, October 12, 2009

This review is from: Over the Counter Natural Cures: Take Charge of Your Health in 30 Days with 10 Lifesaving Supplements for under $10 (Paperback)
The first thing that struck me reading this book is that the author recommends ten specific supplements as remedies for some of the most serious health problems we face today such as cancer, diabetes, heart disease, stroke, obesity, and insomnia. When I say specific, I mean that the name of the brand is given, the dosage, where to buy it, and a lab certified Certificate of Analysis is also included on the book website for each one.
I found this to be a stark contrast to other books on nutritional supplements which give a lot of vague information and leave the reader more confused than before they read the book.
The next thing that impressed me is that the efficacy of each supplement is verified by science based evidence rather than hype and unsubstantiated claims. Shane Ellison’s background as a pharmaceutical chemist and scientist makes him uniquely qualified to write about supplements which can effectively replace prescription drugs like statins, antibiotics, prostate drugs, sleep aids, blood pressure meds, and especially anti-cancer treatments like chemo and radiation. Throughout the book he includes numerically indexed references to the science studies which verify his claims. Listing of references is found in the endnotes section of the book.
My 49 year old brother-in-law and my 23 year old nephew both died of cancer within 18 months of each other. I watched them waste away at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston while having their immune systems disabled by poisonous chemo. They were fed Froot Loops for breakfast, microwaved salisbury steak patties for dinner, and Jello for desert. They were demoralized, stripped of their health, hope and life, and in the end, they both died slowly under a morphine drip.
In the chapter “Avoid Cancer Now” Ellison writes about a turmeric cancer cure that ironically, has been studied and confirmed by M. D. Anderson Cancer Center researchers. Hundreds of laboratory studies by Drs. Bharat Aggarwal, Razelle Kurzrock, and others at the center, have demonstrated that curcumin (the active pigment agent in turmeric) is effective against melanoma, breast, bladder, brain, pancreatic, and ovarian cancers, to name just a few. “In the lab, we haven’t yet found a type of cancer it doesn’t show activity against,” says Aggarwal. Why are they not using this now to treat patients? Drug companies can’t patent a spice that’s why! There’s far more money to be made using Big Pharma’s patented chemical poisons. The obscene profits made selling these drugs ensures that America’s sickness treadmill keeps running smoothly while the cancer industry keeps soliciting Americans for research donations.
Early this year I had a spot on my left temple that looked like melanoma. As it grew from a small spec to around 3/8 inch diameter, I thought about my dear deceased relatives and I started to become concerned, really concerned that I might end up just like them. I didn’t even want to put my attention on it or think about it much, not to mention getting a biopsy and possible removal by a dermatologist. I knew from my research that trying to slice off cancer from the skin, or cutting and prodding it inside the body could actually make it spread, especially prostate cancer. In other words, this is not a fundamental solution. I also started to lose weight which added to my fears.
After investigating natural cancer cures, I was ready to try graviola until I read about the gaping hole it can leave in your skin, the possibility of infection, and the reappearance of the spots after time. Also, since graviola is mainly a topical solution, it doesn’t really eradicate the cause of the cancer which has taken root throughout the entire body at the cellular level. That’s when I received an advance copy of a chapter from Over-The-Counter Natural Cures and read about the $8 cancer cure.
Ellison’s explanation of why we get cancer and how we can prevent and cure it was the clearest and best that I’d ever read or heard of anywhere, including the oncologists at M.D. Anderson. While everyone else is talking about “fighting” cancer, Ellison says we need to instead “co-operate” with and enhance our body’s natural defenses. Why did these doctors not tell our family about cancer being caused by DNA damage from toxins, and that a robust immune system and corrected cell signaling messages can prevent and even cure cancer? Had we known, we might have gone the natural route rather than chemo and possibly been been able to save our family members. Perhaps physicians and hospitals are so deeply invested in the conventional drug/surgery system that they never really consider using natural alternatives.
I obtained the bottle of turmeric supplements recommended in chapter 9 of Shane’s book and began taking as much as three grams daily. In addition to that, I prepared a paste by emptying capsules, mixing the turmeric powder with…

Diet not so good? Over-The-Counter Natural Cures to the rescue!, September 19, 2009
By Lynette R. Fleming “Coauthor of Lunch Buddies… (Decatur, IL USA) –
This review is from: Over the Counter Natural Cures: Take Charge of Your Health in 30 Days with 10 Lifesaving Supplements for under $10 (Paperback)
Heath Ledger, Michael Jackson, Elvis Presley, Marilyn Monroe, the wife of an Illinois pharmacist, my neighbor … can you guess what they all have in common? A tragedy due to prescription medications … some because of their misuse and others because of ignorance and insufficient testing by the FDA, like my brilliant neighbor who was born with no fingers and legs which did not grow due to a medication administered to his pregnant mother for morning sickness. Today’s health solutions may be tomorrow’s tragedies, and the only ones who can stop these tragedies from occurring are each of us. You might say, “we aren’t doctors … what can we do?”
Plenty. We need to get smarter, and the best way to get smarter is to read and research. Start with this book, Over-The-Counter Natural Cures. Who better to tell us the dangers of prescription drugs than a former chemist for the big pharmaceutical companies, who quit when he discovered the medications he was creating were toxins, and that the best cures are found on every superstore shelf … for a fraction of the cost and risk of prescription meds.
Shane Ellison tells us that according to the National Center for Health Statistics up to 90% of Americans are nutrient deficient resulting in an epidemic of illnesses and conditions. Western medicine cannot help us because only nutrients can overcome a nutrient deficiency, not drugs. Physicians cannot help us restore our nutrient balance because the study of proper nutrition was removed from the medical school curriculum more than ninety years ago. We could schedule an appointment with a clinical dietitian; however, we’d be responsible for the cost as most insurance companies won’t reimburse for these types of health consultations.
You will be amazed at the natural cures for common maladies, such as ALA which is a safer and less invasive replacement for a face-lift, and Hawthorn, an herb which keeps our blood, heart, and arteries in tip-top health. It doesn’t stop there … Mr. Ellison tells us how to beat illness without antibiotics, how to fight obesity and diabetes, how to avoid cancer, and gives us a number of other natural cures which can save us from spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on future healthcare. According to a recent report by CNN Money, the retirement health tab for 65-year-old men and women (not including insurance premiums) adds up to anywhere between $64,000 and $140,000. He tells us which supplements to buy, where to buy them, when to take them, and how much to take.
Some who follow an exceptionally healthy diet may not need to buy these supplements, but the majority need to jump in their car for an immediate trip to Wal-Mart and GNC to counteract their poor dietary habits. If Americans followed a better diet and traded out their prescription medications for natural supplements, perhaps we wouldn’t be in the middle of a healthcare crisis. In the hospital where I work, our health insurance deductibles and premiums have skyrocketed, mostly due to the astronomical healthcare expenses for the 20% of our employees afflicted with mostly preventable conditions and diseases. So the other 80% pays for the poor choices made by these unfortunate few. If you checked with your employer’s benefit department, you’d probably find the same thing is happening where you work.
Looking for healthcare reform? Let it begin with you … and you, and you, and you. Order this book, improve your diet, and add some supplements as needed to maintain your health and fitness as you age. Who knows … maybe your golden years will be spent hiking, fishing, or cruising rather than sitting at home or in the nursing home wallowing in self-pity over your poor health. Don’t wait until it’s too late … jump on the prevention train and get your life headed in the right direction!

Great book, Shane!
Out just in time to purchase as gifts for Christmas, which my husand and I are in the process of doing.
Sadly, too many health books and health products are promoted by hucksters out to make a quick buck. NOT SO WITH OVER-THE-COUNTER NATURAL CURES. Easy to read information in one book. Not a subscription leading the reader on to the next issue, pg. so and so, with no answer in sight.
Also, I awakened yesterday with a stuffy nose and severe sore throat. After lunch I took a dose of dehydrated garlic. During the middle of last night I awakened with only a touch of sore throat. Today the sore throat is totally gone. I am amazed at such quick relief.
“Thanks,” Shane, for caring enough to share your knowledge with the rest of us. Good health is wealth.
Respectfully,
Mrs. Robert L. (Kay) Bentley, Jr.
