Customer Review: Be warry of hucksters like the pretend Dr., Earl Mindell
People buying this book are being shammed into believing that this is an actual doctor giving advice. As it turns out these is NO SUCH THING as a PH.d from Pacific Western University. Go do a google search on Earl Mindell, the author and find out the truth. His degree is a phony, made up credential. He has even been investigated and on the News for this b/c he really isn't a doctor.
While this book may have started someone down a path to a healthier lifestyle it may have quite a different effect on others. If his next book tells you to forgo chemotherapy for radish extract how will it affect your decisions for cancer treatment? More so, how will it affect the decision of some fool who takes the good "doctor" as gospel? I am surprised, knowing this information about the author that anyone would still give him "5" stars. Quite honestly, he should be in jail along with the guy who accepts "vet" benefits with his made up story about being in Iraq (sorry, went all current events there). He is making money through pimping his "credentials" to an unsuspecting audience.
On that note, you want to hire to me to add a wing to your house? I have an Ph.d in Architecture from Nosuch University. How about as a heart surgeon? A phony degree can cost you plenty.
