Thanks to all for the comments!

Brenda, I absolutely support the use of pharmaceuticals in some situations, including yours. I got migraines as an adolescent and definitely know what you mean. However, I think that doctors overprescribe these days, and way too easily. For example, instead of working with patients to help them with lifestyle changes so they can lose weight, they just write a script for a blood pressure or cholesterol medication. Can’t sleep? Here’s a drug for that. Restless leg syndrome? Take this.

It is all a very big business making a lot of people rich and taking years of peoples’ lives. The bottom line is that, even though they can do some great things, drugs are still chemicals and poisons.

Personally, I think she has a lot of good information that I agree with especially eating whole natural foods and eating every 4 hours, when you are an avid fitness person, if you are not I do not agree unless you are truly following the whole natural foods! However, I do not agree with her about getting off prescription drugs, I ‘m sorry but sometimes that is not quite possible. In a perfect world I would love to not take a thing but I’m sorry there is NOTHING natural that I have ever seen cure my migraines (and I’m talking a true maigraine-those that get them know what I ‘m talking about) . On another note, I ‘ve had eye issues for 6 months that no doctor can tell what is wrong and I ‘ve analyzed food cosmetics, environment and everything else under the sun to to no avail, read countless books and researched the internet. Finally, I was prescribed a medicine from a specialist and I have relief and no longer want to rip my eyes out from the extreme irritation. I’m still researching so I can get off them but right now I have no side effects and I can see clearly, not blood shot, itching, etc… so I’m staying on it! I agree with Rachel Ms. Michaels is a meany so I’m choosing not to buy her book!

Jillian Michael’s has some interesting theories on metabolism. I’d like to read more. I’m also glad to hear that her suggested changes don’t have to be a total overhaul, doing some will have benefits. Thanks!

Very interesting!! Sounds like some serious changes (for me at least) so I’m happy to read that adapting a handful of Michaels’ ideas can be beneficial. I may have to check out this book even if I do think Ms. Michaels is a meany She clearly knows her stuff.
