How confusing is it these days? The general health of the modern world appears to be deteriorating rapidly with the obesity epidemic, the rise of type 2 diabetes, more and more allergies and no significant reduction in the rates of cancer and heart disease. The treatment of these diseases is improving as modern medical techniques progress, but surely prevention is better than cure. The pharmaceutical industry is booming and pardon my cynicism but do they really want you to get better?
There is just so much information available on almost any topic and unfortunately a significant amount of conflicting information and it appears to be possible to find any amount of information to support any view you choose to take. In my search for information to help me with health solutions and to give me guidance for gaining and maintaining good health as my years advance I have been reading a lot of the material that is starting to emerge from some long term trials. More and more I am finding that this information is contrary to conventional health beliefs.
I really enjoy the discussions I have with many of my clients during their treatments and I have been often asked for references to the books I am reading.
