As a physician, I read this book hoping to gain some new insights into current thinking regarding dietary treatments and plans. However, the book contains an inordinate number of self-serving distortions, misstatements and speculation.Granted, we do not know all that we need to know in order to treat patients in the most effective way. It may well be that some of Dr. Sears's (By the way, Dr. Sears is a chemist, not a nutritionist or a physician) hypotheses will prove to be correct. Time and science will tell. However, his theories of disease are little more than idle speculation at this time.
