Review: Library Journal (March 15, 1997; 0-679-44715-6) Weil (Spontaneous Healing, LJ 5/15/95) has designed an easy, step-by-step program for wellness. The book's audience is the over-40 crowd. Weil's philosophy is that "most bodies come with warranties for eighty years of productive...trouble-free service, if basic requirements for preventive maintenance are followed." This book is meant as a guide to such maintenance. Its strength lies in its design, which uses small, easy steps to achieve big changes. For instance, Weil suggests eating broccoli just twice in Week 1, then builds on this to create a complete change of diet by Week 8. Recipes reinforce the message and make it palatable in every sense. Weil also stresses the importance of the holistic approach and includes a simple mental/spiritual component in each week's program. As a physician, Weil is careful to substantiate every claim, and he debunks some of today's more extreme alternative health theories. He also includes chapters outlining the special needs of seniors, children, and people at risk for cancer or cardiovascular disease. Sure to be a winner; libraries should stock many copies.
