At 19 years old, Jordan Rubin was a healthy 6'1' and 180 pounds. Shockingly, his weight fell to just 104 lbs. in a matter of months. His immune system was at an all-time low, as he suffered from Crohn's disease, food allergies, anemia, fibromyalgia, intestinal parasites, and a host of other conditions. After seeing over 70 health professionals, using both conventional and alternative medicines, Rubin was sent home in a wheelchair to die.
But his story didn't end there. Through determination and a powerful faith in God, Rubin refused to give in to disease. Instead, he educated himself on natural health (eventually becoming a doctor of naturopathic medicine), and applied its principles. Now, ten years later, Rubin is fully recovered-and he desires to share the keys to his own good health. These keys aren't just for the disease-ridden; they are for anyone desiring to live an abundant life of health and wellness.
I could only listen to the first few minutes before I wanted to scream...I really thought it was a joke at first...had to take the CD out when the author started saying he wanted people to look at the Christians in his congregation and admire their good health and see what a belief in Jesus could bring...yadda yadda....essentially saying that he wanted people of all other religions to experience the negative emothion of envy due to their lack of good health by a failure to have one true faith. If he was any type of religious leader he would want people of ALL caring religions to experience optimal health so that each person has a better chance of finding his/her own individual path to goodness / enlightenment....maybe the CD improved...but he sounded like such a fanatical religious freak he lost medical credibility.
