Summary: Remarkable Book
Comment: Whether you are a beginner on the path, or a more advanced person looking for a reminder, this book will become a lifelong friend. A historical and philosophical understanding of the Tao, life altering dietary suggestions, and a plethora of immortalist techniques. Breathing exercises, Sexual Yoga, Fasting and the ills of the modern diet---loaded with outstanding information! Any book that serves Mind, Body and Spirit should be lauded, and this book delivers. Keep your mind open when reading this, and don't be alarmed by the Enemas!!! This book has helped my health, my sex life and call me in 300 years to find out about the longevity part. Good companions are Fit for Life (which deals with the proper food combination issue) and Leonard Orr's Breaking the Death Habit. And for the bold mental astronauts, throw in a little Robert Anton Wilson's Cosmic Trigger series to feed your head.

Summary: I No Longer Need Lithium
Comment: I have spent the last 9 years seeking a cure for a psychiatric problem. The means to such ends consisted of trying Lithium, Prozac, Depakote, Paxil, Zoloft, Neurontin, Risperadol and numerous psychiatrists and therapists. Lithium was the the only effective option for combatting the mania; Neurontin provided that happy feeling. I was thus branded bipolar II by virtue of that which was effective. I accidentally found Reid's book on Chinese Health and Healing which pointed me to the Tao of HS&L. I think they complement each other. Heeding his advice I underwent a 6 day 12 hour fast. Performed numerous colonic irrigations, modified my dietary intake from carnivorous to herbivorous, followed the advised food combination guidelines, undertook the chi kung exercises as recommended and a pranyama exercise(Breath of Fire). These exercises eased the inevitable misery of the detoxification process. Haven't touched Lithium or Neurontin in two months and surprisingly I am happy. My focus has returned. I am no longer an aggressive, uncontrolled animal. My consciousness with each passing day increases in clarity. Five stars for effective practical advice.

Summary: GREAT WORK that can change your health for the better!
Comment: For the critic below/above who said that this book is misleading, (and who claims that Reid encourages people to take drugs and use sex toys etc,)... I would say that his review is the only miselading one since in the book Reid never encourages the use of drugs, instead Reid stresses again and again that according to the ancient Taoist, food is the best "medicine". Reid doesnt even encourage the use of medicine (as the western doctors will give you eg antibiotics etc) let alone drugs. Reid encourages the use of natural food and fruits for one's diet to cure ailments such as headaches, obesity etc.
The best chapters in the book is the book on Breathing and Chi, where he explains what chi is, and how it works to energize the body. The second best chapter will be the one about sexual secrets of the Taoist - particularly for male. Men seems to be the gender that has more disadvantage in sex than females, since men think about sex most of the time, have great drive towards it, yet without knowing the Taoist secrets, men are disillisioned about it since he gets less satisfaction, and is left enervated (fatigue) after sex. Reid explains the ancient Taoist secret to avoid those disadvantages and turn it around.
The 3rd best chapter is the one on Food Combination. I have been following it for a few year, and what a difference it makes. After lunch, I see my friends feeling sleepy that they find it hard to stay awake, yet i feel energized.
This is a great book, read it with an open mind. It is certainly much better than Dr Atkins or Carbohydrate Addict books which have much negative side effects.
