Praise for Passion For Health

"What a relief to read a book about health that did not generate guilt or require unrealistic changes or major purchases. Instead, the reader is offered common sense, practical advice based on the understanding of natural processes. Trusting the body’s own wisdom and supporting those natural processes is offered as the key to achieving and maintaining health. This philosophy and approach are at once empowering and reassuring.
—Barbara B. Ensor, Ph.D."
The Maryland Psychologist, November/December 2005

"In a world where obesity and diabetes are on the rise, where common cold symptoms are treated with 20 or more over-the-counter drugs and where prescription medicine costs are skyrocketing, Mestanas suggests we need to step back. Step back and get on track--by paying more attention to the complex organism that each of us are responsible for--our body--Mestanas heaps research and experience into his book, filling it with hints on natural paths to healing."
