The End of Illness by David B. Agus

is indispensable book is not only a manifesto a call for revising the way we think about health it's also filled with practical but impossible-to-ignore suggestions, including:

How taking multivitamins and supplements could significantly increase our risk for cancer over time.

Why sitting down most of the day, despite a strenuous morning workout, can be as bad as or worse than smoking.

How sneaky sources of daily inflammation?from high heels to the common cold?can lead to a fatal heart attack, and even rob us of our sanity.

How three inexpensive medications aspirin, statins, and an annual flu vaccine?can substantially change the course of our health for the better.

How taking shortcuts to health via blending fruits and vegetables, and sometimes even by purchasing what we think is fresh, could be shortchanging our health.

The single most important thing we can do today to preserve our health and happiness that costs absolutely nothing.

Dr. Agus also offers insights and access to breathtaking and powerful new technologies that promise to transform medicine in our generation. In the course of offering recommendations, he emphasizes his belief that there is no right answer, no master guide that is one size fits all. Each one of us must get to know our bodies in uniquely personal ways, and he shows us exactly how to do that so that we can individually create a plan for wellness.

The End of Illness is a bold call for all of us to become our own personal health advocates, and a dramatic departure from orthodox thinking. This is a seminal work that promises to revolutionize how we live.
