The Seven Pillars of Health

I found the book to be well written and organized. It is very well read by John Gauger.The author writes pretty much the way he speaks so it makes for an easy book to listen to. There is so much information I have found it necessary to listen to some chapters twice just to retain some of it. It is a very good book for the investment if you are serious about maintaining good health.

I have read several booklets of Dr Colber'ts and have heard him speek on several occasions. I like what he writes and have tried several of his suggestions. We used it as a devotional and learned a great deal from each chapter. We use it as a go to book as well.

I am just three chapters in so far but it has been great. I am taking my time and not rushing through because it is so full of things that you need to know. I have already done what he suggested in the book about our water and it has helped tremendously in our house. I have read some of his other books on health and he is very balanced and such a good read.

Dr. Colbert writes very simply and understandably about how to maintain your health in very practical ways. He has very sensible ways to stay health. His information is timely and very simple to follow.

Takes Toxic relief and breaks it down into a lifestyle of health, one of them being spiritual; his is Christianity, but the author expresses any spiritual faith of goodness can be used..."Faiths of revenge poison the body".

I'm not very religious, but I absolutely ADORE this book. You're supposed to read one section per day. I couldn't put it down and read almost all of it in a single sitting. The information isn't new, but is presented in a way that makes you think. It is easy to understand, but the science checks out. 5 stars!

I bought this book after buying his other book, Deadly Emotions. I am now hooked on his books and look forward to purchasing others. I love his writing style as he makes a complex topic easy to understand. I love the one day at a time approach that he uses for this book. That makes it easy to implement healthy changes without feeling overwhelmed with a new lifestyle. I will definately be recommending this book to family and friends.

I love how it's broken down to 7 pillars. There it's a lot of information in this book. I try to remember or change one thing in my life from each pillar. And, I can go back and reread a pillar to focus in more detail. It's getting our bodies back to God's design.

This book changed my husbands and my life, we are eating healthy feeling great and have lost weight without trying just eating right, getting rest, water and exercise. My husband also purchased his book about diabetes and his numbers are way down without having to take medication which the doctors were pushing. I would recommend the Seven Pillars of Health to everyone. There are a lot of people taking notice In what we have accomplished. It feels good to feel good!

So informative. Never read anything from Dr. Colbert. It's easy
to understand the way he lays everything out pertaining to the body
and what we should be doing, A wealth of information. i would
recommend this to anyone the way it was recommeded to me.

This is a great book as a foundation to living healthy. I bought it when it first came out and have since bought it as a gift for friends who want to better understand what we need to do to be healthy and happy.

My wife and I are looking at this information Prayerfully. There are so many "experts" that claim to have "the answer" to all our problems and issues, it is hard to sort out the ""truth""! So, we are carefully weighing what we read and hear. This experience will be a chance to see Dr. Colbert demonstrate his expertise in the area of health, and we shall keep an open mind till we finish reading the book and try out some of his suggestions.

Dr Colbert did a fantastic job simplifying health issues and showed biblical references. I particularly enjoyed the many charts he used (but many charts or tables were hard to read on kindle). This book was very motivational in helping me get on the right track In improving my overall well-being. this book was very inspiring!

This is a great book for those with a lot of money to implement most of the suggestions made by the author and his wife. You have to be a very good
dietician to fix the meals. Who can eat fruits and vegtables all day long?
The water portion if follwed will cost between 2000 and 5000 dollars.
The exercises are good but not for an old person or someone in a wheelchair.
The audience is geared to 20 to 40 year old person with a lot of time and money to implement this routine.

Dr. Colbert does a wonderful job. I am recommending this book to my clients in Nikken, as we have what he is recommending and more. We definitely know that once people have the knowledge, and take ownership of their health, they will be grateful for this information. It is great that there is an action step to take each day. We are looking forward to sharing this information with others so that they can become OWNER'S of their health and life. e-mail us to find out what OWNER'S stands for.
God's very best to you, and I hope this review helped you.

Although some of the things he talks about are a bit hard for people to stick to , if we do follow his guidance we are on the way to better health ! He has been on many national television shows sharing his wisdom. It is true life saver to many.

This is an excellent guide for a healthy lifestyle. It is easy to follow and will change your life in 50 days. The only way to achieve wellness is through prevention. Living according to the 7 pillars of health will achieve optimal wellness. The book is well written and authoritative.

Dr. Colbert has done an exceptional job in explaining the basics of maintaining a good health regimen. He has done his research on what works for his patients and shares that informtion in this book. This book is a "must read" for anyone who is desiring to live a healthier life.

This book does a great job explaining the why certain elements are so important. like why water is so important, as well as what kind of water, and why sleep is so important, etc. The 40 days to great health breaks it down nicely.

I ordered the book The Seven Pillars of Health on March 2010 and it came in a timely manner and in excellent condition. I will order from this company again. I rank everything 5 star.

This is a great book to read. WE all need to learn how to care for ourselves. This book will show you how or get you started in that direction. Great Dr. and author. This book will help you lots.
Seller was super. Easy to buy from no hastle, no problems. Great service. Book in super shape. Fast shipping.
Thanks Vickie

This is a very interesting book. I keep it with me and refer to it regularly. Dr. Colbert is a wonderful christian author. I watched and listened to him talking about this book on the Kenneth Copeland show a few weeks ago and it was so intersting that I ordered the book. I definitely absolutely recommend this book.

What a great book to read and learn how to take care of your body! There is so much information here that everyone needs to know about. I bought several & have given them to my family & friends. This book has changed my whole life!!

I thought this was the best overall book on health that I have ever read. The information is vital, but it is an easy read. Most all areas of health are addressed (except food combining). It really has inspired me to "get my act together" and eat in a more healthy manner. After reading this book, I have ordered other books from Dr. Colbert. I am very impressed with his whole empahsis on body, mind, and spirit.

I purchased this book out of curiosity and i am glad i did. Full of very helpful insight that has changed my life. It's been servers years since i began the journey with the seven pillars of health, and i feel better now in my forties than i did in my twenties.

While God most certainly played a role in my nearly 200-pound weight loss on the Atkins diet in 2004, you are not necessarily required to be a Christian in order for the diet (or ANY diet!) to work. I've been asked questions like "Do you have to be religious to do your diet?" by well-meaning members of the secular media when I bring up the role of my faith in my journey towards better health.

The short answer is "no," but it certainly helps to have the power of the Almighty Creator on your side for those times when you need His divine strength to carry you through the valleys that most certainly come when you try to lose weight. If you've ever gone through a weight loss experience without support, then you know exactly how hard it can be. You need a friend that sticks closer than a brother to be there for you when you need Him the most.

What if you could invest a mere 10-15 minutes a day for less than two months of you life and learn practical Biblical advice about improving your health? Would you be interested in learning more about it? If you are a Christian or desire to do something positive and productive about your weight and health, then of course you would.

That's precisely why prolific Christian author Dr. Don Colbert wrote his bestselling book entitled The Seven Pillars Of Health: The Natural Way To Better Health For Life. This 50-day all-inclusive health manual will empower you with tons of information that can be absorbed and immediately applied into your life to bring about big changes in a short period of time. This could be the miracle you have been praying for.

Dr. Colbert is well-known as the premier "health doctor" within Christian circles. I remember selling many of his other 30-something titles when I was working in Christian bookstores in the mid-to-late 1990s. He is highly-regarded for making complex medical conditions and treatments understandable to the common person as you will quickly find out when you read this book.

The Seven Pillars Of Health are as follows:

1. WATER

2. SLEEP AND REST

3. LIVING FOOD

4. EXERCISE

5. DETOXIFICATION

6. NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENTS

7. COPING WITH STRESS

This book reads like a daily devotional journal providing you with a few power-packed pages at a time to soak in the message Dr. Colbert wants to share with you. Each chapter (or "pillar") takes about a week to go through, so you are able to meditate and fully concentrate on one concept at a time. I enjoyed this format because the lessons you learned the first day were then reinforced on the next and the next to complement your health education. More books need to be written this way!

There's some real eye-opening content in this book that you are just gonna have to read to believe. If I didn't already drink upwards of 1-2 gallons of water a day already, then you bet your sweet bippy I'd be guzzling it like it was going out of style after reading the water chapter. I don't think people have any idea just how crucial fresh water is to their health. I'll drink to that!

At the end of each day's journal, you get a nice little wrap-up of the major points in that section with Dr. Colbert's "Building Blocks To A Healthy Life." Consider it your Cliff's Notes version of the content you just read and the take home message he doesn't want you to forget. There's the "Points To Ponder" as well as the practical application under the "Action Step" that allow you to begin using the information in your own life right away.

Another eye-catching feature of this book is the "Dr. Colbert Approved" or "Dr. Colbert Recommended" check marks with straight-up advice for people to follow directly from the good doctor himself. For people who need direction that slaps them in the face, these frequent helpful hints lay it all out clearly and easily for everyone to see. Additionally, there are also extra boxes with essential information to lead you by the hand to making The Seven Pillars Of Health your new way of life.

Although this book isn't as blatantly against the Atkins low-carb diet as other "Bible-based" health programs are, Dr. Colbert does get in a few comments that had me raising my eyebrows just a bit. For example, in the SLEEP AND REST chapter, he mentions low-carb diets as a reason why you can't get a good night's sleep because they allegedly "create a low-blood-sugar reaction, causing you to awaken in the middle of the night."

Um, what in the world are you talking about, Dr. Colbert? I've been eating this way for three years and the only thing that wakes me up in the middle of the night is the porcelain goddess and that beautiful snoring creature on the other side of my bed! Sure, some low-carbers MAY experience hypoglycemic reactions at some point when they are livin' la vida low-carb, but don't paint us all with a broad brush and make it universally true. It clearly is not.

There are some other issues that I disagree with him in The Seven Pillars Of Health (especially regarding saturated fat intake, artificial sweeteners, and meat consumption), but overall there are some redeeming qualities about the book that I cannot overlook either. His shunning of junk carbs, including sugar and white flour, is a major plus as well as the promotion of organic foods and proper supplementation. And the chapter on COPING WITH STRESS alone is worth getting this book!

Scripture verses are sprinkled throughout to back up all the information that Dr. Colbert is providing. You can tell he took calculated steps to ensure that everything he was sharing was grounded in the Word of God. I can appreciate that fine attention to detail to get it right because he is honoring the Lord with the information he is sharing. I especially enjoyed the "appreciation list" and the "day of jubilee" because they pay tribute to God's providential hand in all things, including health.

I wanted to share a brief passage from The Seven Pillars Of Health that sadly illustrates where we are regarding health in the United States and why we need more books like this one and doctors like Don Colbert speaking out with the truth about diet and health:

"A woman walked into my office weighing nearly three hundred pounds. It was the first time I'd seen her. Her back was slightly bent with osteoporosis, and she was suffering from arthritis and shortness of breath so severe that she had to move very slowly. I examined her, performed lab work, a chest X-ray, and an EKG, and I found she had angina, heart disease, high blood pressure, arthritis, type 2 diabetes, and other obesity-related problems. Her cholesterol was even over 300.

'I eat the four basic food groups,' she told me. 'I don't understand why I gained fifty pounds over the past year.'

I asked her what specifically she ate. 'Well, I fast every morning,' she began. 'I miss breakfast. Then for lunch I have my four food groups--a Quarter-Pounder with cheese, lettuce, and tomato on a bun. Sometimes I have a jelly sandwich made with strawberry preserves, too. So I get my fruit.

'For dinner,' she said, "I'm a meat-and-potatoes woman. I get my vegetables from potatoes, and I love T-bone steaks. So that satisfies my meat group requirement. I always include bread for my grains, and I put lots of butter on it to meet my needs for the dairy group. And I like a tall glass of orange juice or grape juice for my fruit group needs.'

I was stunned almost to silence. No wonder she was obese and had a host of medical problems."

WOW! Isn't that amazing! It really makes you wonder how many people are living in American today who think just like this patient that saw Dr. Colbert that they are eating healthy when very clearly they are eating themselves to sickness and even death! That's why it is so vitally important to constantly build on what you have already learned about healthy living and never settle for what everyone else is doing.

If that was working so well, then why is two-thirds of our nation overweight or obese, hmmm? Regardless of how we got there, it's high time we do something about our weight and health as a society before we destroy ourselves physically, economically, and even spiritually. Read The Seven Pillars Of Health to find out how we can break this disturbing trend as soon as possible.

The author consolidates some classic notions on preserving health optimally.
Examples of these are as follows:
o filtered water consumption
o quality sleep
o pH maintenance at 7 to 7.5 ( check with your doctor)
( Type II diabetes can be exacerbated by a lack of sleep because the
carbs don't process correctly. )
o rest during the day
o avoid processed food which has a lesser nutrient value
o excess protein
o lack of quality exercise
o reduce excess medicinals in consultation with your physician
o detoxify through the skin
o fast on occasion to allow the body to rest and recharge

This work would be helpful in managing any chronic condition; such as,
arthritis and a host of others.

This book has many good ideas for living a healthier life presented in 50 daily segments. From water to stress to how to chew food, there are many good things for me to take from this book. The author incorporates scripture and prayer into his work naturally and seamlessly. The text is easy to read with informative side bars (including multiple choice quizzes about food).

This is a book to be read critically, however. Hexagonal water? Christian yoga? The author is pushing his other books as well as products that he sells. In the introduction, he says this is not "a `don't, can't, shouldn't' book." It is. But there is much to be found in this book that can help anyone live a healthier life. Just pay attention to what's being offered.

I enjoyed the book and got lots of great information that I'm implementing. However some of the recomendations were expensive and some products were only available in the USA or from his website (vitamins etc.). It actually seemed like he was pushing his vitamins, powders etc. I got too confused about the vitamins and found his charts hard to understand, so I'm sticking to the ones that are available to me from my local health food store even though the doses are far from his formula.

The book would have been more beneficial if he suggested over the counter products and items we could buy readily from either a local health food store or grocery department. As an example the bottled water he recomends... nowhere to be found in my neck of the woods and they havn't even heard ot it. A little more research on his part and a little more get down to earth with the regular folk and he'd have a winner.

Should you buy it? Sure... it's helpful. But a word of caution, you may not be able to apply all his recommendations.

A useful book with a broad range of coverage. It took reading a chapter, review it and then go to the next. I did find several advertisements for supplements available which were expensive. It would have been nice to find some alternatives with other merchants to compare prices especially if they are available locally. (Sometimes I feel that for the price of the vitamins I can buy a steak and fresh vegetables every day for the daily cost of the supplements!)
Well laid out though and useful information.

This is a great package and kit. Includes so much info on living a healthy lifestyle. You will learn so much with the Book alone plus the DVDs!! It will take some time to take in all the great information and apply it...but worth the time and effort to learn. Also found the price very low here on the store!!! If your health minded??! Go for it!! Thanks the store.com! BR

Some bestselling books became that way for reasons beyond me, this book as the other reviewers said so well, talks about the basic ingredients toward a healthy life. The author goes through the topics and explains the medical stuff in a very understandable way. Even though I have done a great deal of reading about health and well being I was still able to learn a few new things from this book. I definately recommend you get a copy from the library.

This book has started me on the path to a more healthy lifestyle. When my sons were at the Air Force Academy, they were constantly told, "water is the elixer of life". Water is the first pillar. That made the book credible for me. I am implementing the steps slowly, one at a time. I've also convinced a group of friends to do this with me. Drinking more water is our first step. My diabetic friend, who was drinking NO water, has seen her sugar go down with just 16-32 ounces a day. (She drinks the flavored bottled water.)I'm convinced that once she gets up to half her weight in ounces on a regular basis that she will see her diabetes disappear. I highly recommend this book for a healthy lifestyle. I've only added one thing to it: prayer for wise food choices.

I accidently happened upon this book in a store and was really taken by the information inside. I read about things I had never heard about before. I jumped right on the bandwagon and started buying new and more expensive bottled waters for myself and my family. Then I decided to go one step further and bought a set of ph strips to test my new waters. Well, I was surprised by what I found. They did not necessarily match the phs listed in the back of the book for various waters. I had bought Gerolsteiner by mistake which is listed as 5.9 but my test came out as 8 while Glaceau Smart Water came out lower than I expected. Based on my findings I would recommend to anyone who is serious about this program and planning to use bottled water as their main source to invest $14 in a pack of litmus strips at their local pharmacy and test their own waters to find the higher phs. I still think this book is great and recommend it.

I love this book, not done with it yet. Dr. Don Colbert gets into simple details about water. He not only explains how much water to drink, but the difference between water and the containers they come in. He explains about filtration and gives you all the information you need to make a good decision and where to purchase such items. Not only does he tell you to stay away from processed foods, but why. He gives you glycemic index, and tells you which to eat if you want to lose weight.
There is just so much information, I am reading it slowly, highlighting all the important information and trying to let it all sink in. I definately recomend this book!!!!!!!! Along with "What Would Jesus Eat", I find it to be a great package deal. When I saw Dr. Don Colbert on Joyce Meyer and he mentioned how he all of a sudden had dairy allergies and was able to get rid of that by improving his diet, I just had to get the book since the same thing happened to me!!

I have read a lot of health and "diet" books and they all seem to have the same information in them. Finally, a book by a Dr. that goes into details relating to health that I have not seen elsewhere (such as the pH of bottled water, what reactions take place in the body when certain foods are eaten, etc.) For me, it is also good that it takes Christian principles into account. I highly recommend it--money well spent!

Well, I have never particularly cared for Dr. Colbert when I've seen him on tv.
He just rubbed me the wrong way - he didn't do anything personal - just one of those things.
But, I saw him on a show where he gave his personal testimony. It made me change my opinion of him.

The book title was also annoying to me - I don't like anything to do with a certain number of pillars
of anything right now, given the mood of our country. But he gives his explanations for the title.
All in all, I didn't see a lot that I would want to try in this book. That's just me.
I'll try to add more details later when I can have the book in front of me.
I won't say it is useless - just not for me.

The Lord had started dealing with me about eating healthier and now He is addressing me about drinking healthier fluids,namely,water,not just water but what kind of water. The author of this book is very knowledgeable MD who has used solid medical findings about water and it's major health benefits. Also the author has used Holy Spirit led biblical revelation to back up his medical findings.

This book is a must. It's not about miracles, it's about an uncovered truth about our auto healing bodies. We don't need external chemicals to heal our body, what we need is a balanced life, what we need is to read this book. Dr. Colbert shows us how to do it, and its all simple and real, and specially very, very effective. If you are a father or a mother its a must....

I enjoyed the book and have applied it to my life as well. As a result I know how to get a better quality sleep and I am more hydrated. I only got midway through this book. I need to go back and finish reading so that I can apply the other portions. Great read but it requires discipline to follow-through with the applications.

This is a wealth of information in an easy to understand text. We are so fortunate to have Don Colbert to help us educate ourselves in the fight for our good health. I praise God for him, a man who gives God the Glory for his knowledge, we can't listen to him enough!

Seven Pillars of Health is a comprehensive look at how you can change or add to a healthy lifestyle especially as we age. It is put together in an interactive format. You are able to see prograss. Like any program you have a two steps forward one step back. This program helps you take two steps forward and maintain them.

What a wonderful book! Yes, as you read it, you want everyone you know, love and care about it to read it! I have focused most of my life on the firts 6 healt pillars of life except for the detox (just this last year) & I don't take any vitamins to supplement since I believe I eat pretty good. I have fallen short of his last chapter teaching. Copying with stress. I just started to read his title: Stress Less, so far excellent as well. Thanks for your help! ;0)

EVERYONE should read this book!!!! For those who are healthy, or sick, this book can change your life! I have recommended it to over 20 people, most of whom have or are planning to purchased it. It has truly made a difference in my life, and those who are in my sphere of influence!

As if having a Dr. come to your home and help you create a healthier life style. Kit includes dvd, book, journals, and excercise dvd. Also wrist bands depending on what health issue you are working with, in color. Hot!

This is a excellent book in regards to detoxification of the body cells by eating living food vs. dead food, coping with stress and treating your body as the temple of God. I very highly recommend this book for anyone who is interested enough to feel much better because of proper lifestyle that will greatly lengthen their life and give them a very enjoyable life in the future!

This book is exceptional. Everything I was hoping for. It is a must read for both the individual who has studied health for years and for the person just beginning to learn how to live a healthy lifestyle. This book takes you through 50 days of wholeness. I want 50 more when I am done. No joke, this is the finest health book on the market. Not just a book, it is a journey. Do yourself a huge favor and get on the healthy side of life and walk out this book for 50 days.

All the reviews here are pretty cool. I picked up this book and it has lots of info in different areas (7 pillars) I want to re-read it and have already put into practice some of it and want to even more. For a Christian / health book it is a blessing. recommended for sure.

The ideas in the book helped my mom spend her last days a little more comfortably. She went to the Drs. clinic and he prayed with her and wept with her and my dad, and gave them lots and lots and lots of scripture. My mom was very ill when she started this diet but i know it did help her .

this book has help me and my family so much.
my husband has many health problems, the to main
ones are copd, and chf- congested heart failure
with this book we have a much better understanding
of the importance of drinking WATER!
thank GOD for this book.

This is a great plan for improving your health, especially if you have, through life going on, let you health slide. This takes you step by step, improving one additional thing per week.

It was just what I needed to get back on track.

This is an outstanding book on your health and how to improve it. It is easy to read and understand. Dr. Colbert is a tell like it is kinda of doctor, who seems to be interested in our health from a prevention side. I think everyone should read this book, and we would see an overall improvement in everyone health, if we all followed his recommendations. I am giving this book to all of my friends and love ones. This book is a must read book.

I thought this was a great book. There is so much useful information in here that I have come back to it several times. With all of the areas he touches on it's a great way to get your life on track and back to feeling good again. Just get it...you'll be glad you did.

This book was purchase for my best friend as a Birthday gift and for myself. She thanked me for hours for giving her the best gift she has recieved in a long time. Also, knowing that this friend works in the medical field. I knew I had hit a goal mind in making this selection. After I started reading the book I realize what she was so excited about. I would suggest to anyone to give this book to everyone you know and love for life. AJJ

This book is eveything is was advertised to be. I enjoyed it very much and highly recomend it to anyone that wants to maintain good health. Following this doctors advise will keep you out of the doctors office.

Much needed information that I was unaware of before. Makes you stop and think before you consume certian products for your body. Dr. Colbert is very knowledgable in his findings, and the fact that it is Bible Based is better than ever.

I have recommended this book to friends and church members just this week. I started a support group and we started the 50-day plan on Monday, January 8. I was glad that there was an article in Charisma magazine, else I am not sure when I would have known that the book was published. This book has already started changing lives.

Hands down the absolute best book on health I have ever read. It's easy to understand (and to follow) and, best of all, it all makes sense. I am so glad that I came upon this book randomly a few months ago--since then I have loaned it to friends who have immediately purchased copies of their own and for their own family members. Must read if you are interested in improving your health. I never write reviews but I had to write a review for this book.

Our church used "The Seven Pillars" video series for our Wednesday night adult curriculum. We had an interested facilitator who is passionate about health and wellness and I had received a preview pack about this so we bought the whole package. Our class started with 35 and ended 7 weeks later with 13 in attendance? Why? Because Dr. Colburn's point of view make managing your health very difficult to accomplish. The other undermotivating aspect of this study for our group was that there was very little spiritual understanding or encouragement offered. Even the scriptures that were used from time to time were sometimes taken way out of context to make his point. I expected (from the preview video) to have much better understanding of the spiritual implications of this study. And oh, by the way, the video they sent in the preview pack on "stress" wasn't the video that was used in the curriculum for stress. Hmmm ... that was strange - the preview video was much better. The book was a good read and filled with a wealth of information from one man's perspective. But if you are looking for spiritual meat - this study isn't for you.

My wife and I "thought" we were eating and drinking correctly, however, we have learned a great deal from this book to show us how far off the mark we actually were. I HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone who wants to understand more fully how what we ingest affects us in our everyday lives!

Jeff in GA

It has a lot of good information to follow. It takes time to learn new habits in our life and will refer to this book for help from now on. Thank you Dr. Colbert for caring enough to write this book for those of us who need to see it in print to prompt us you change our lives.

This book was great, an easy read and highly informative. I recommend it to anyone, especially beginners who aren't well informed about the health scene. It would be nicer if it left out all the Jesus and Christian references and just stick to G-d, since many of us are believers but not necessarily Christian.

This book is very helpful in understanding the things we put into our bodies. You will be shocked at some of the everyday things we do that are not healthy for us. I really got a lot of knowledge out of it.

i only rated a 3 because it was the number in the middle. i haven't read the book yet. i'm still amazed at how many authors have this title. so in all fairness, i've only heard other people say it was a great book, but most of those comments came from people who are now focusing on better health. sorry, that's all i can say about a book i haven't read yet.
