Many of the diseases discussed in the book can be resolved through self-treatment techniques such as: Take herbal bitters with meals to improve nutritional status and digestion Eat colorful fruits and vegetables normalize inflammatory function Use Siberian ginseng to increase DHEA levels to help the regulatory system Regularly consume garlic and onions to boost the detoxification systems Take Vitamin A and Beta-carotene to strengthen the immune system Each chapter begins with a list of common symptoms that would indicate an imbalance in a particular system, as well as behaviors that increase the risk for an imbalance. The author includes case ?stories? of patients he?s treated for many of the conditions. Tips for translating the body?s messages, charts and tables explaining the conditions, and appendices directing the reader to the exact information he needs makes the book the ultimate reference for people who want to make themselves well.

A cancer-related checkup is recommended every 3 years for people aged 20 to 40 and every year for people aged 40 or older. This exam should include health counseling and, depending on a person’s age and gender, might include examinations for cancers of the thyroid, oral cavity, skin, lymph nodes, testes, or ovaries, as well as for some nonmalignant diseases. A high dietary intake of vitamin C has been shown to significantly reduce the risk of death from heart attacks and strokes, as well as all other causes including cancer. Many clinical and experimental studies have clearly demonstrated that stress, personality, attitude, and emotion are etiologic or contributory in suppressing the immune system as well as leading to the development of many diverse diseases. Regular exercise has been demonstrated to provide benefit to individuals with immunodeficiency diseases, particularly through stress alleviation and mood enhancement. HIV-positive individuals had increases in CD4, CD8, and natural killer (NK) cells immediately following aerobic exercise. Melatonin exerts significant anticancer effects, especially against breast cancer. Vitamin E not only improves insulin action, it also exerts a number of beneficial effects when taken at dosages ranging from 400 to 800 IU, which may aid in preventing the long-term complications of diabetes.
