I saw him speak today at Ladies Group (it was a video presentation) and since I've been battling with my weight, I wanted to buy his books. Before I purchase anything though, I like to research it and to be honest, I haven't found a whole lot of good about this fellow. Opinions please? Thanks in advance Faithie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take all of the supplements and am hoping to see substantial improvements in my health. I believe Rubin's is a godly Christian man seeking ways to help believers get healthy. I'm sticking with it. He encourages a healthy, Jewish kosher diet and encourages people to avoid processed foods, foods with preservatives, hormones, antibiotics, et al.... I feel much better since I went "organic/kosher"....so I'm not sure what all the fuss is about. Rubins was extremely ill himself and came back from the dead, basically. I bought his book, "Maker's Diet" at Amazon.com for a dollar. Best money I ever spent. If you don't even touch the supplements, just the healthy change in lifestyle is enough to show the benefits of the diet. He's a messianic Jew and has eaten kosher all his life, which is what he encourages for health reasons (not for legalistic purposes). He explains why the Jewish kosher diet is so much healthier and better for people...and I tend to agree. My husband and I are both on it and can tell a big difference in the way we feel.
