Dr。 Gerald Lemole’s well-written Lymph & Longevity is a wonderful resource that provides information and explanations on the connection between the lymph system and longevity and disease prevention。 This well-researched book includes menus, recipes, and guides to help us with our health journeys。 What an outstanding resource that I will return to again and again!
FMSWarrior,
I sat down and decided to look at this book before I settled in to read my current mystery and I never put it down, but read it cover to cover in one sitting。 This explains so much and was just what I needed at this point in time。 Between my husband having heart issues and me being immunocompromised, I learned quite a bit that we will be incorporating into our daily lives to make changes for the better。 The lymphatic system just doesn't get the recognition it deserves and this book changes that。 I sat down and decided to look at this book before I settled in to read my current mystery and I never put it down, but read it cover to cover in one sitting。 This explains so much and was just what I needed at this point in time。 Between my husband having heart issues and me being immunocompromised, I learned quite a bit that we will be incorporating into our daily lives to make changes for the better。 The lymphatic system just doesn't get the recognition it deserves and this book changes that。。。at least it did for me。A great read for anyone at any time in their life as you'll be able to prevent some of the issues you could have if you don't pay attention to your lymphatic system。 A good read all around。 。。。more
Bee,
As someone with lipedema and problems with sluggish lymph, I found this book to be a gem of information about how our lymph system works, how to troubleshoot issues with your lymphatic system, and practical naturopathic and dietary tips to strengthen it。 I highly recommend it。 Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for the opportunity to read and review this book。
Jason Frasca,
This is written by a cardiothoracic surgeon describing the health benefits of lymph and lymph flow。 The author takes the reader through lymph, its anatomy, physiology, and ways to foster lymph and flow。Unfortunately, I'm left wondering, what does this offer that the readers can't find elsewhere? It reads like an overall self-help book focusing on diet, exercise, yoga, stretches, spirituality。 These are great discussions, however, I feel the objective of lymph and longevity is not well answered o This is written by a cardiothoracic surgeon describing the health benefits of lymph and lymph flow。 The author takes the reader through lymph, its anatomy, physiology, and ways to foster lymph and flow。Unfortunately, I'm left wondering, what does this offer that the readers can't find elsewhere? It reads like an overall self-help book focusing on diet, exercise, yoga, stretches, spirituality。 These are great discussions, however, I feel the objective of lymph and longevity is not well answered or described。 To this reader, caveat that I have a background in medicine, this book reads that one should focus on diet, exercise, spirituality, etc because they affect lymph and lymph flow。 I feel this connection is weak and lost in translation。I will say this is a great preventive medicine manuscript。 I challenge the authors, tough, to find more concrete connections, physiologic references to lymph, or consider refocusing the bottom line topic of the manuscript。 I think the title and content needs adjusted, or a stronger discussion of lymph is needed to support the title。I do appreciate and recommend told recipes and description of yoga and stretching exercises。 。。。more
