For years I have watched people in their millions inflict more illness & suffering on themselves than any war has ever done. What is this biblical plague this monstrosity of suffering? Self inflicted illness. The fat guy smoking a cigarette. The thin woman flayed raw by alcohol. The kid jamming another fat laden time bomb into its face. The millions & millions of couch potatoes who havent done a minutes decent exercise since they passed puberty. & what happens to all these millions upon millions of people? Nothing for most of the time. But then. But then it all changes. Sometimes suddenly
- a heart attack a stroke cancer. Life changing irrevocable events that stuff their lives & the lives of everyone around them. Or not so suddenly
- the slow suffocation of emphysema the long autumn of health related unemployment the desperate loneliness of congestive cardiac failure. & that doesnt half wreck the lives of everyone around them. Is it preventable? Not all of it no. Some diseases just happen even with the best will in the world. But is most of it preventable? Yes absolutely yes. If you dont like plain English dont read it. If you arent prepared to apply it to yourself & take responsibility for your own health dont read it. It isnt a book full of references & science. Its just a book about being healthy!
