These reviews are great and Dr. Ehret's method for beating jet lag works like a charm. But buy the latest, 2009, edition of Overcoming Jet Lag -- now called The Cure for Jet Lag. The book is much easier to read and the information is current.

. this really works !! . i am a night owl that needs 9 hours sleep. even daylight savings time messes up my body clock. . you may be one of those people who jets around the world and has no problems. good for you. but if you do suffer from jet lag this book will show you how to prevent it. . we used this book when we took the kids to europe for their graduation. 6 time zones away and i was in sync within a day and had no trouble keeping to their time zone for the full two weeks. . forget the scoffer and skeptic here who claims it is just anecdotal. it works. and he cant prove that it doesnt. all the other folks here , giving the book 5 stars , who actually used it are proof that it does. . who you gonna trust - your own body or someone who never tried it? . it would be nice if it had a shorter version to just do it , without reading all the theory. but you can skim the background info and just do what it says to do without a lot of effort. .

I have used the program detailed in this succint little book for 10 years now, beginning with a trip from Los Angeles to Thailand. After following the program and flying for what seemed like days, I arrived at midnight. The following morning I was fully functional and alert at 10 am and suffered no symptoms. I recently used the program for a trip to London and back with no appreciable jet lag. The book explains in very simple terms how our body clocks work, and how modern studies have learned how to reset them quickly and easily with a minimum of deleterious effect. One starts the program from 1 to 3 days prior to travel, and much of the book is filled with detailed instructions for each time zone interval. It does take discipline to adhere to the program while on the plane, but with a little effort it can be done and the result is definately worth it. I highly recommend this book to anyone who travels by air. It will make your journey far more enjoyable and you will have more time to enjoy your stay instead of recovering from jet lag for days. A must read for business travelers as well.

A must for any time-zone traveller

we have used this book and the method for more than 20 years - with children from infant to adult age! You actually start following this method 3 days before your departure. It truely works! The first few pages explain how your body works, how caffein works, and how that can be used to overcome jet lag. The next 80 same pages you look up the individual time zones that apply to your trip. That's where you find the diet schedule for your personal trip. In the back you find several pages of food items and sample menues, that allow you to put your diet together according to your own tastes. Overcoming jet lag with this guide is EASY. No other supplements are neccessary!I'm buying several books, so I can give it to our international visitors!

Excellent Regimen to Arrive In Synch by Renee Thorpe (Karangasem, Bali)

Concise yet detailed book outlines a highly effective program to beat jet lag, no matter how many time zones you may be crossing, no matter what time of day or night you are traveling. Basic theory behind the program is described well, but most of this nice, short book is a full how-to for every possible flight... time zones involved, direction of flight.Reader simply looks up the schedule that best describes upcoming flight, and follows the instructions. But don't do this at the airport the day of the flight. Diet must be altered three days in advance of travel. My family and I have been using this for 15 years, and we swear by it. The only time it hasn't worked for me is when I've tried to cheat the system (watched an in-flight movie when the book said I was supposed to be sleeping, that sort of thing).Unfortunately, most airlines do all they can to keep passengers stuck in their departure time zone (ensuring days of jet lag for all), but this book shows how necessary it is to board the plane and get right into the arrival time zone. It does take a sense of discipline to follow the program while in flight. In general the flight is not particularly enjoyable if you're following the program and are therefore out of sync with all the other passengers, BUT if you are a business traveler or don't have the luxury of wasting several days, you will find that the short-lived discomfort is insignificant! A highly useful book for the international business traveler... would make a nice gift for someone going off on a round-the-world or other long flight. (But give it well in advance of the travel)!
