Publisher Description
For years, scientists have understood that inflammation causes pain. Only recently, however, has the process of inflammation been linked to the deterioration of tissue, bone, and cartilage—and recognized as an underlying cause of heart attack. And while the importance of minerals has been documented for years, it is only now that a naturally occurring blend of minerals has been found to act as a powerful anti-inflammatory that can stop or slow cartilage loss. For those looking for a simpler solution to a real problem, Mineral Miracle may hold the answer.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The ancient practice of eating clay to promote good health lies at the heart of Lieberman and Xenakis's look at the new "mineral miracle" supplement SierraSil. The product's name comes from the Sierra Nevadas, where it is found, and silicates, the primary minerals that form it. The authors (Lieberman is a clinical nutritionist; Xenakis founded a company that sells nonprescription pharmaceuticals) explain how, in the 1970s, a gold prospector discovered that the soil in the Sierras contained a significant amount of natural clay. This clay healed a dog's injured paw and went on to work wonders on arthritic human hands. Lieberman and Xenakis are passionate about SierraSil's ability to help those suffering from arthritis and many other inflammatory conditions, as well as digestive problems like irritable bowel syndrome and Crohn's disease. They review the science behind SierraSil and its health benefits, then proceed to school readers on living a healthy lifestyle, covering the basics of a healthy diet and exercise. However, despite their enthusiasm or maybe because of it much of the book feels like the print equivalent of a television infomercial.
