Summary: Who asked for a book report from one of the readers here??!!
Review: Now that you are an expert, Mr. MV, perhaps you can write a book or get yourself a job as a promoter of authors? This is a review section and not a high school book report section for you to show off what you believe to be true, as we here can all read and have read the book...and for prospective new readers, if they want to spend that kind of time reading, they will pick up the book and not your page by page observation of a page long. From the Greenwich Village Reader

Summary: Isn't it time for the Author to comment on our reviews?
Review: After over 30 reviews of this new book, I would think the Author would respond, unless we are not important enough to him as his readers....To respond the "Ultimate Anti-Aging Program" if he will.

Summary: What ? No Zero stars? That's what it really rates.
Review: I found it very interesting that the reviews are split between either 1 star or 5 stars. Personally, I felt it deserved ZERO. I purchased the book because I saw part of his show and wanted to find out more about detoxifying the system (which I have since found out is another of his books, which he did not even reference in this particular book). The entire book comes across as new-age mumbo jumbo, which is unfortunate, because a lot of the concepts are valid.For those of you seriously interested in anti-aging stuff, check out Barry Sears Zone books. They include legit case studies and legit diets.

Summary: This book can be a valuable tool.
Review: I obtained the book through a PBS TV pledge drive. I have had some experience with such alternative therapies as chiropractic, acupuncture, and particularly, the amazing effect of a correctly selected homeopathic remedy. In the last few years, as I approach 50, I have begun to experience some undesirable changes in my constitution, and I want to do something about it. The ideas presented in Gary Null's TV video and passionate live appearance sold me. (I have not heard his radio program.) My biggest disappointment - a small one - was the delay in delivery due to the hot-off-the-press status of the book in December. I am just beginning to work with the book. This book is not the latest best-selling pop fad, easily swallowed as this week's diversion. Null has assembled a wealth of data from scientific studies and his own observations of people experimenting on themselves. The book has a clearly organized table of contents, and an alphabetical index. Between these is a 480 page mine of information. Skipping a preface or introduction, Part I (Chapters 1 and 2) immediately gets to the idea that your health and life can be different - altogether better. He alerts you to the necessity of being sensitive to yourself: What are my body and mental processes telling me? Included in Part I are the first practical (mental) exercises. Nearly 80 pages of personal testimonials are properly placed near the beginning of the book as Part II (Chapter 3). These illustrate what it is, and what it takes to change. This section provides the success of others as a motivator, and reminds that everybody is different. Part III (Chapters 4 through 6) discusses the theories of aging and its prevention. Included here are discussions of specific drugs, nutrients, and amino acids which bear on the problem. Most of the remaining half of the book deals with the program: Part IV, the "protocol" and detoxification; Part V, exercise; Part VI, food; Part VII, psychology. Part VIII (Chapter 18), Null's closing thoughts on the current state of affairs, is followed by a section on how vitamins, nutrients, and herbs may be applied to specific problems, with data reference citations. Finally, there is a bibliography as a starting point for your own research. (However, a less scientifically-oriented bibliography would be more practical for most people: The Complete Book of Homeopathy, by Michael Weiner and Kathleen Goss; Juicing for Life, by Cherie Calbom and Maureen Keane; The Psychology of Freedom, by Peter R. Breggin, etc.) This is a first edition. There are errors. He addresses bicycle safety equipment, yet neglects to mention a helmet. Is it than/that, affect/effect, 200/220, olive/macadamia? ... Just shake the pebble out of your shoe and keep on going. Or give up now. You don't need to read the book to get the program. It's on the dust jacket. Don't even pick up the book - here it is for free: 1. Detoxify your body. 2. Strengthen your immune system (through optimal nutrition). 3. Strengthen your physical body. 4. Strengthen and detoxify your mind. It might be work to read the book and listen to what Null is saying. A worse obstacle can be finding a way to make the information work in your life. The ultimate obstacles are laziness and fear of change. The ultimate anti-aging program is the one you build through your own effort, for your own individual, unique self. Gary Null is excited about the information he has gathered, and wants to share it beyond the people he has guided in his personally organized groups. On TV, Null held up the book and said that all the information needed was inside. The book is a rich resource, and is a worthy tool for the improvement of your physical and mental self. Should you buy this book? It is simple to throw stones, but it takes mind and muscle to stack them. Null states that "About 98 percent of the people who listen to my radio show, attend my lectures, or read my books don't actualize what I talk about." How determined are you to improve your chances?

Summary: Waste of time and money
Review: I bought the book because I saw Null's program on PBS and wanted more information. Very little, if any, details on his protocol are included. Nothing about what vegetables are the best to juice, how much aloe vera or chlorophyll to add, etc. The book seems to have been written by several authors with no effort to give it a seamless style. There are numerous spelling and grammatical errors and several inconsistencies, e.g. stating that the only oil to use in cooking is olive oil on one page and a few pages later writing that the only one to use is madademia oil. I had been thinking about buying one of his other books but certainly won't do it now.

Summary: A gift not for giving
Review: The testimonials in the entire first chapter of this book were as staged as the author's PBS program and a cry for "you see, so there." I feel that if the authors readers and subscribers to his "Ultimate Anti-Aging" propoganda or truth would scream out to the Pharmacuedical companies, JAMA, and the Medical Assocations world-wide, we would find the cure to deadly diseased whereby Mr. Null will finally establish his credibility - through the right channels. A staged and well rehearsed television appearance of testimonials from his readers "being seen on t.v." and " their names printed in his first chapter of a book" is a desparate cry for recongition beyond all credibility of any intelligent people. I will fully support Gary Null's book(s) if he can PROVE to me via Sloan Keterring and all the places of expertise that he is indeed worthy of the praise he constantly gives to himself.

Summary: Gary Null, I thank you again and again!!!
Review: Did those who voiced disappointment totally miss the picture? This book was great! However I had just read from cover to cover Null's Complete Guide to Health and Nutrition. The Ultimate Anti-Aging Book was a natural follow-up. Together they have changed my life. Possibly it should have been a 2-part series called "The Real Me - Part 1 and Part 2"!!!

Summary: Where is the program?
Review: Please send a free update to include a program to all who have purchased this book of smoke and mirrors.

Summary: I really expected more from this book.
Review: This book did not deliver what the title seemed to promise. The author also loses credibility when the reader discovers NUMEROUS spelling and grammatical errors. It started to become a joke. I really want to believe in this man's program. But when the program is not really spelled out for me, it becomes very difficult to take it too seriously.
Rating: 
Summary: Very Disappointing-No real program
Review: I have read Gary's latest book and like many other readers, found it disappointing. He really doesn't give the reader a clearcut program to follow and the book tends to be disorganized.
