I've read a number of books about the new medicine and the anti-aging approach to health. Our current medical paradigm is about trying to fix what is broken by trying to cure disease. It makes amazingly good sense to me that we should instead be doing the things that will keep us vital and healthy, thus avoiding the major diseases of old age. I have not seen this information presented in a clearer fashion anywhere else. I imagine I now understand more than most doctors on the subject. That is good because ultimately we are responsible for our own health and Dr. Miller has given here the tools to live a vibrant life into old age. As I said, I've read many books on this subject - this one is by far the best.
My interest in information about enhancing and preserving my health and quality of life stems from watching family members and loved ones depart this life in the most heart-breaking ways .... long, degrading, and wasting decline. None of us are getting out of here alive, that doesn't bother me. The manner in which I go matters a lot -- maybe I will suffer on my way out -- but it won't be due to common ignorance. And that is the reason I highly recommend this book. If you are looking to educate yourself in applying a broad arsenal of tools, from simple to more complex medicinal approaches (e.g. BHRT is discussed thoroughly and clearly), to enhance your health then you will likely find this book an excellent investment. I did. The pages of my book are growing ragged due to the number of times I go back to review certain topics. I'm an educated person, but I still appreciated the author keeping hardcore scientific and chemical explanations to a minimum -- although the author presents plenty of evidence in a comprehensible manner. I didn't get 'lost in the weeds' trying to find the core facts and understanding.
I've read more than 20 top-rated same-topic books from a variety of authors (medical doctors, nutritionists, research scientists, etc.) and this book is the best of breed, covering all approaches toward enhancing and protecting your health. And it's well written and organized. I also appreciated better understanding the science and research evidence behind many of the recommendations, which as I said, is presented in a comprehensible manner. I don't trust anybody telling me what to do -- I want the evidence presented, pros and cons, and I will make up my own mind. This book does just that -- better than any of the other same-topic books I've read.
This is a great book - easy to understand and follow. It really makes supplementing with vitamins/minerals easy...
Anyone concerned with the future of their help should read this. You can grow old without aging. It makes sense.
Amazon and/or the publishers of books with diagrams need to do something about the problem of diagrams showing up fuzzy and not enlarge-able on Kindle (you can only enlarge text). I bought this book on Kindle and was unable to study the important diagrams so bought the paper version also. There is no way to return the Kindle book so basically one feels cheated. Content of book so far looks good - but don't buy the Kindle edition, until they upgrade the technology. Or there should be some discount for people buying both, etc.
