Health Defence 2nd Edition by Dr Paul Clayton
Live Longer and Stay Healthier - How nutrition is the key to a maximum healthy lifespan
Few people – perhaps as few as 1 in 10,000 – actually die of old age. Because a truly healthy life span is at least 100.
Sadly, and as we now know often unnecessarily, heart disease, stroke, cancer, diabetes, osteoporosis, Alzheimer’s and other illnesses rob most people of their health – and therefore a full quality of life – years before their time.
Yet evidence from healthy centenarians and from certain populations shows that the risk of each of these diseases can be cut dramatically through simple nutritional means. Offering not just a longer life, but a longer quality life.
Leading medical scientist Dr Paul Clayton has spent years painstakingly combing through more than 10,000 studies to identify the nutrients with the most proven role in long term health.
In all, Dr Clayton has isolated nine separate groups of protective nutrients. They hold out the promise of broad protection against disease, without unrealistic changes to your own everyday diet.
Through the advice in Health Defence you and your family can enjoy a level of nutrition that will put you among the top 0.1% of healthy diets on the planet.

Cracking the Metabolic Code by James LaVelle
Doctors traditionally prescribe a pill for every ill. But for most people, these single solutions don't work. The truth is, most chronic health problems, including stubborn weight gain, unbeatable fatigue, intestinal distress, high blood pressure, creeping cholesterol, and high blood sugar, are not found in simply one organ, but in several parts of the body (often times in twos and threes). This is the result of years of slow, subtle challenges to your metabolism, which is as unique as you are. Your lifestyle habits, stress level, prescription drug use, and relationships, as well as the genes you inherit and the environment in which you live-in effect, the sum total of your life experience up to this day-determine your personal metabolism and, in turn, your current state of health. Using a step-by-step, easy-to-implement system of diet, lifestyle strategies, and state-of-the-art nutrients and supplements, James LaValle will help you create an individualized program for reclaiming your metabolism and health.

The Immune System Cure by Lorna Vanderhaeghe and Prof. Patrick Bouic.
What causes one person to catch a cold or flu and another to avoid it? Why does one person with HIV live without symptoms while another quickly develops full-blown AIDS? What allows someone to be incapacitated by allergies? Why do serious outbreaks of infectious diseases leave some individuals untouched? The answers lie within nature itself - our immune system.
The Immune System Cure provides simple techniques for supercharging your immune system through diet, stress reduction, and nutritional supplements. Adopt the recommended strategies and you will harness your body's ability to do the job that nature intended: combat and prevent disease.
Nature eloquently designed the human body with the tools needed to prevent and fight most disease. It is only through neglect, abuse and overuse that we have altered the ability of the immune system to function optimally. This book is not about a magic cure: it is about treatments that boost and balance the immune system to give it the support it needs.

20 Chickens For A Saddle by Robyn Scott.
When Robyn Scott was six years old her parents abruptly exchanged the tranquil pastures of New Zealand for a converted cowshed in the wilds of Botswana, where their three small children grew up collecting snakes, canoeing with crocodiles and breaking in horses in the veld.
Falling in love with the country where Robyn’s eccentric grandfather had served as pilot to Seretse Khama, Botswana’s first beloved president, her parents at once set off in his pioneering and unconventional footsteps. This is the story of the family’s fifteen years in Botswana, during which Linda Scott haphazardly and single-handedly homeschooled her three children – each eccentric characters in their own right – while her husband, Keith, ran a flying doctor practice and attempted, with erratic success, to adapt his experience to the unique demands of a rural practice and the growing burden of AIDS.
A funny and unsentimental account of a childhood where dissecting a snake was the closest Robyn, Damien and Lulu came to a biology lesson, and children from the cattle posts were their only classmates, Twenty Chickens for a Saddle is also a unique insight into modern Botswana. Set against the backdrop of one of Africa’s rare democratic success stories battling with one of the continent’s worst AIDS crises, the book remains throughout an uplifting, engaging and deeply affectionate portrayal of an extraordinary place and family. |
