From the Author
Electrical Nutrition is a new way of looking at health based on the electrical construct of the human body and my background in engineering, agriculture and knowledge gained from years of clinical experience working with thousands of international clients. This book is about how to stop degeneration and start regeneration so we can live a full and happy life. I explain difficult concepts in an easy, logical way that allows you to work towards perfect health.

The book is based on my ability to tune into and become aware of the electrical functions of the body at a deep level, both cellular and electrical, seeing the electrical malfunctions and ascertaining the causes of dis-ease states as they develop. In Electrical Nutrition, which is based on the results of my clinical work, I address not only the electrical and physical manifestation, but also, the contributing emotional, spiritual, nutritional and lifestyle factors getting in the way of a healthy, abundant life.

Customer Reviews

Electrical Infomercial
I ordered this book with great anticipation. Realizing that basically all is energy, I thought "electrical nutrition" sounded like an interesting concept. I found it to contain quite a bit of useful information. The authors discuss the value of eating whole, unprocessed foods, the problems with vegetarianism, the wisdom of limiting carbohydrates, how improper diet can lead to illness, the problems with vaccinations, and much more. Most of this information isn't new, though, and can be found, more ably discussed, in many other books.

The problem I had with the book is the way the information was presented. The authors tried to take their "electrical" theories and wrap them around the entire work. I found very little, if any, substantiation for their theory. As a matter of fact, I found claims and explanations for simple nutrition that were just plain erroneous. The following quote shows one of the significant errors: "The fats in milk, butter, and cream are among the most beneficial protein sources available to the human body not only supplying important protein but also assisting to clean and heal the digestive tract." Maybe it's just me, but in my world, there are three "macro" nutrients: carbohydrates (sugars), proteins (amino acids), and fats (lipids). Fats are not the same as protein. Proteins can be converted to glucose and then to fat by the body, but this didn't seem to be what the authors meant. This reference was made in several places. The authors even referred to tocotrienols, nutrients related to vitamin E, as proteins. In addition, when they wanted to substantiate something they were discussing, it appeared as though they would just make up some "fact" to "prove" their point.

Another problem, and to me the most irritating of all, was that I felt as though the entire piece was an infomercial for the authors' company as well as a couple of network marketing companies they are associated with (Avena Originals and Royal Body Care). They continually mentioned "electrically formulated" and "electrically available" supplements (even an "electrically tuned" mini trampoline which they just happened to sell).

All in all, an annoying waste of time. Those knowledgeable about nutrition, etc., don't need to read it, and those trying to add to their knowledge wouldn't know what was useful and what was inaccurate. I suggest looking at Dr. Mercola's web site for wonderful nutritional and related information. Also, check out "The Metabolic Typing Diet" by William Wolcott -- a great way to determine once and for all what specific diet is right for you. Lots of good science behind it and great to finally find a book that says there isn't one diet that's right for everyone.

Changed My Life Forever
I was at my wit's end. I had a chronic digestive disorder that was slowing starving me to death. I tried everything. I tried The Zone, I tried the blood type diet, I tried vegetarian, vegan, no wheat, no soy, fasting, cleanses and purges of all types (god I'll never forget that liver cleanse), hormone therapy, etc., etc. I had a huge cabinet filled with thousands of dollars worth of of every herb, vitamin, supplement and concoction you could think of. Then a friend gave me a copy of Denie's book. Unlike anything else anyone had ever said, Denie actually made COMMON SENSE. Skeptical but hopeful, I changed my diet one more time. And 48 hours later everything started to change. My digestive system calmed down and I slowly began regaining all the functions that had been steadily deteriorating for years. It has been nearly a year since then and I am eternally grateful to have my life back. I tell you from my heart that this book will change your life. Do not hesitate for a moment. Buy it now.

Food for thought?
I found this book on one of my daughter's bookshelves, observed that the foreword was written by John Gray, whom I so admire, then proceeded to read "Elecrical Nutrition" in one sitting. What a daring, fascinating book! The Hiestands' philosophy resonated with me and I immediately started implementing what I learnt and reaping the benefits. I recommend this book to anyone who is serious about living life to the full, in excellent health.
