Their experimental journey is dramatically profiled in Bayan's insightful and highly personal book." -- Spokane Spokesman Review"Matthew Bayan's book is as gripping as a heart attack and packed with valuable information that could save your life." -- George J. Pratt, Ph. D. co-author of INSTANT EMOTIONAL HEALINGWRITER'S DIGEST REVIEW"The author shares openly and generously about his personal health problems and how he overcame them. Many readers will have similar risk factors and fears to the author, making this book a lifesaving resource for those at risk and their families. This book tackles a prevalent diet myth using the author's story of survival. For such a serious topic, the tone of the book is friendly and somewhat informal. The author's voice is encouraging to readers and brutally honest about his experiences. His almost self-deprecating reflections will be inviting to readers who are reticent about considering their own health issues. The author's story is interspersed with scientific and nutritional explanations. This balance of memoir and self-help or reference is helpful to equip readers, but the transitions feel abrupt and choppy at times. The author's life experience compelled him to do deep, thorough research, which he shares with readers. The resources section is critically useful to readers, especially the section on what to do if you think you're having a heart attack."
