5.0 out of 5 stars Actually all of it.Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on 24 February 2019

I just received it, sat down and read it all. To me it gave me information I can use, to help me heal, understand the why of my health issues especially pertaining to Osteoarthritis, Osteoporosis and Spinal Stenosis which has led to several replacement surgeries over last 12 years, especially 4 in last 4 years. I've had upper back fusion involving 2 ruptured discs. Last April I had lower spine surgery which involved 2 ruptured discs, a fractured vertebrae with bones protruding and pushing on the bladder, bowel and nerves. A very big involved surgery with 3 metal rods placed in lower spine, Titatium screws and nails with Titanium bag holding them in place. Complications after surgery, but I
was lucky to have such a wonderfully skilled Surgeon and his medical staff, emergency treatment saved me and it's been a long journey to recovery, but the pain was so minimized by the surgery. Also, I have a metal plate inserted into my neck where it was found I had 2 ruptured discs, 3 impinged nerves and bone spurs. All was surgically taken care of, with as I mentioned the metal plate, impinged nerves removed and bone spurs ground down. Pain in my are which was the biggest complaint gone after surgery. Also, 2 years ago I had right hip replacement and femur bone replaced. My left ankle was badly injured in a fall at our local airport, on my way to Europe. Eventually, I had so much damage, surgery involved bone repair, new ligaments put in to replace those destroyed in fall, and other surgical repairs. Titanium screws, nails and bag to hold all in place. Took 3 years to heal. I had Arthroscopic surgery on my right knee 25 years ago, and was told knee unstable and eventually I'd need total knee replacement. That's been put on hold. I have Osteoarthritis in various parts of my body. Both of my parents suffered badly from Osteoarthrits. Different family members suffer from it, too. But, I've had the most surgery because of it. Also, I have Spinal Stenosis diagnosed in my mother. In testing me, I have the 2 Markers Doctors use for Inflammation and they are high. So, you can see I've been looking for good competent help with the inflammation problem I have. I saw Dr. Mimi Guarnerit on local tv here and was interested in what she said, and in her treatment program, so I just sent for her whole program with intention of following it. I sent for an extra copy of her book as a gift for a family member.

2.0 out of 5 stars This book isn't science or medicine; it's a nutritional fad and fashion show.Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on 23 June 2017
Verified Purchase

I absolutely love listening to Dr. Fred Feit, the NYU Cardiologist on Sirius XM's Doctor Radio. He's a brilliant doctor, and he's also insightful, interesting, modest, and kind. I recently caught the end of Dr. Feit's interview with Dr. Guarneri and thought her book sounded interesting. While there are a few interesting nuggets in her book, most of it is overly simplistic and too much of her book is outright wrong, which is more than a little troubling given all of Dr. Guarneri's accolades.

Dr. Guarneri rails against a number of nutritional boogeymen and claims linkages between food and mental health that are largely unproven. For example, Dr. Guarneri warns against consuming any GMOs, but she doesn't cite a single study that claims that GMOs are unhealthy. Obviously, the reason Dr. Guarneri doesn't cite any studies in support of her claims against GMOs is because there aren't any such studies. People have been eating GMOs for over 30+ years, and there's not a single peer reviewed study that have found them to be unhealthy. In fact, just last year, the National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine issued a report that reviewed hundreds of studies produced over the last few decades and found no evidence that GMOs were less safe than non-GMO foods. Scaring people about the non-existent health risks of GMOs is not something a doctor or scientist should be doing, but Dr. Guarneri apparently wants to lead the charge.

As one of her other pearls of wisdom, Dr. Guarneri also encourages her readers to buy "organic" foods. Yet again, there's no scientific research that supports her claim that organic foods are healthier. On the other hand, there are, in fact, studies that indicate just the opposite because organic foods contains higher levels of fecal contamination. Organic farming has consistently proven to be much less efficient and require much more farm land, and scientific studies show that organically produced food may be more dangerous to consumers than conventional farming. In 2016, researchers using the CDC’s Foodborne Disease Outbreak Surveillance System identified 18 specific outbreaks that were caused by organic foods. These outbreaks were linked to 779 illnesses, 258 hospitalizations and 3 deaths. That's not a great track record, and it's certainly no basis for Dr. Guarneri to recommend "organics" to her patients on the basis that organic foods are healthier.

In her book, Dr. Guarneri also warns about the dangers of lactose. Again, she doesn't cite to any science to back up her fashionable claims. As a matter of scientific fact, about 35% of the world's population can tolerate lactose into adulthood without a problem (mostly people with European and East African ancestors). Certainly, if someone is lactose intolerant, then they should avoid milk. However, if a person doesn't have that issue, then milk's really very nutritious. Milk is filled with protein, carbohydrates, calcium, and it's a primary source of vitamin D for many people in the United States. However, if you listen to Dr. Guarneri, milk is baaaaad! That's terrible medical advice for a doctor to give most Americans.

I could go on, but the point is Dr. Guarneri is not careful when it comes to the advice she's dispensing. While Dr. Guarneri provides other pearls of wisdom to "Awaken Your Healing Potential" that are based on actual scientific or medical research, the numerous examples that she refers to that are based on disputed fads or unproven opinions that happened to be in fashion were so distracting that I quite seriously thought this book deserved a retraction or at least some sort of editor's note that these are simply the opinions of Dr. Guarneri. This isn't science or medicine, and, to be candid, I was disappointed that Dr. Feit was promoting it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Majority of 108 Pearls are worthy of adoptingReviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on 15 June 2017
Verified Purchase

Dr. Guarmeri has done a commendable job of addressing the benefits of mindfulness, yoga and spiritual nourishment. A majority of her 108 Pearls are worthy of incorporating in ones life to move toward preventive medicine and away from sick care. I was disappointed that she did not mention the highly informative and research based website of Dr. Michael Greger, nutritionfacts.org. Dr. Greger has devoted his life to studying all the scientific research connecting what we eat, what we do and the choices we make daily to our wellness. And the research is clear, avoid dairy at all cost as it challenges the body rather than support the body. And the animal protein is a major detriment to the immune system. Overall, Dr. Guarmeri has made a first step to encourage people to adopt some important Pearls leading to a prevention lifestyle.
