 Lots of information but hard to follow. December 15, 1999
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
Dallas Clouatre, obviously spent a lot of time researching this book. There is a variety of information on a number of different supplements. And there is a plan at the back of the book that claims it will help you reduce body fat. Though the premise of the book is good, Clouatre failed to make the book reader friendly. With so many supplements on the market it can be mind boggling. Clouatre boggles the mind further by jumping from one supplement to another within the same paragraph. The result is a hodge podge of facts to sift through. On the plus side though a lot of information is given. I did question the accuracy on the material given on DLPA. Clouatre states that the "L" form is effective for appetite control but not the "D" or the "DL" form. As the "DL" form includes the "L" form the accuracy of this is questionable. Other research states that the "DL" form is effective. The section on how to apply the information given to reduce body fat is written in a clearer manner. Clouatre gives tips for bodyfat loss ie add fiber,exercise etc. Food combining is also recommended. A core program is also given which includes the use of the described supplements. Supplements recommended include spirulina, GLA, l-carnitine and many others. I do feel the book offers much in the way of information, but wish it was written in a clearer manner.
 Caveat Emptor on Arginine June 7, 1999
4 out of 9 found this review helpful
On page 12 of this overall good book, the author mentions that excess arginine and ornithine may activate a previously dormant herpes virus. I inferred from this generality that she meant herpes simplex, or genital herpes, which is prone to frequent outbreaks. What she did not specify, was that any of the billions of persons who have had chicken pox as a child could have an oubreak of the same herpes zoster virus as shingles, an extremely painful condition with a potential for debilitating neuralgic pain for months or years after the skin eruption. Everyone who has had chicken pox is a candidate, and a high arginine environment is just what encourages the virus to come out of decades of dormancy. So, be careful, take the Lysine, or red marine algae, which suppresses both herpes simplex and zoster. Or skip the arginine. I'm sitting here barely able to walk from back pain so severe after a shingles outbreak from, you guessed it, taking large amounts of argininge at bedtime for GH releaser benefit. Don't let the law of unintended consequences affect your life! Who wants to thin, but in chronic pain?
