After considering the discoveries that have led to progress in treating some diseases, the author asked an essential question: Why arent we better at curing illnesses like cancer? Based on his research and the clinical trials he has conducted at the nations leading medical centers, he came to the realization that weve been approaching medicine from a faulty perspective, and the best way to prevent and combat maladies like cancer, heart disease, autoimmune disorders, and neurodegeneration is to first embrace a totally new view of the human body. This book asks readers to reconsider everything they think they know about health and give up believing many myths that may actually be causing them harm and decreasing longevity. These myths revolve around a spectrum of misconceptions, from the benefits of vitamins and supplements to the role of DNA in ones fate. In attempting to reduce our understanding of ailments to a mutation, germ, or deficiency, he proves we have forgotten that the body is a complex system. He presents a systemic picture of the bodys vast mechanisms that drive it either toward or away from sickness, empowering readers to take charge of their individual health in very personal, customized ways theyve never imagined before. Along the way, he offers insights and access to new technologies that promise to transform medicine in our generation. He also shows that there is no right answer in health decisions. This is a radically different approach that will not only change how we care for ourselves, but also how we develop the next generation of treatments and cures. It represents a dramatic departure from orthodox thinking that promises to revolutionize our quest for long, healthy lives. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1275048 The best-selling author of The 4-Hour Workweek outlines a program for healthy living that draws on 15 years of research and interviews with leading doctors and health-care experts to offer insight into genetic factors, nutrition requirements and fitness practices.
