Summary

 For over a century, we've accepted the scientific consensus that cancer results from genetic disease due to chromosomal damage in cell nuclei. But what if cancer isn't a genetic disease after all? What if scientists are chasing a flawed paradigm, and cancer isn't a disease of damaged DNA but rather of defective metabolism as a result of mitochondrial dysfunction? What if that startling truth could revolutionize our understanding of other diseases as well-and show us a radical new path to optimal health? In this groundbreaking guide, the first of its kind, New York Times best-selling author and leading natural-health practitioner Joseph Mercola explains how nearly all disease is caused by defective metabolic processes. Then he reveals what's really causing your metabolism to go haywire: damage and dysfunction in the mitochondria, thousands of which are at work in nearly every cell in your body, generating 9 percent of the energy you need to stay alive and well. When mitochondria become damaged in large numbers, it is impossible to stay healthy.Dr. Mercola shows you that you can take control of your health simply by giving your body the proper fuel-and it's not what you've likely been led to believe. A ketogenic diet, very low in carbohydrates and high in healthy fats, is the way to optimize the biochemical pathways that suppress disease and support healing. And the benefits can be astonishing-not only in treating or preventing serious illness, but in boosting your brainpower, increasing your energy, helping you lose weight and keep it off, and much more.As you listen to this audio, you'll learn in clear, rational terms how your body works at a molecular level. You'll finally understand the type of fuel it's designed to burn in the most efficient way possible. You'll find detailed guidelines for starting and sticking with a ketogenic eating plan. And you won't have to wait a decade or two for metabolic mitochondrial therapy to make its way into the mainstream. You can build a healthier body and brain at the cutting edge of this exciting new discipline, starting right now.

This book is long and complex but very worth ploughing through if you want to understand the science behind how your metabolic system works. More catered for those in US where doctors work with patients and you can go and ask for blood tests.

I found it very interesting and enlightening. This could change society if Governments and health care providers took note.

In depth and scientific but could be revolutionary

I like to take an approach to my diet which follows what I feel like my body needs to eat. I crave different things on different days and I just follow that instinct.

What this book did help me appreciate was that avocados and eggs are super foods, along with coconut oil and flax seed. It also helped me realise that ALL carbs are converted into sugar by my body and that cancer cells LOVE sugar and carbs.

So I'll keep that in mind if I ever get cancer.

I gave up wheat months ago before this book and already found myself eating much more meat and fatty foods as a result because otherwise I get really hungry. So I already do a lot of what this book suggests. But as for rigorously following this diet, nah, definitely not for me. I think we need a balance of proteins, carbs, fats, fruit and veg etc. Sometimes I simply crave fruit or veg or carbs. This diet seems too extreme and forced to me and my body doesn't cope well with it


Plus I do get hungry a lot when I only eat fats.

Illuminating but not for me

One of the most comprehensive books I have read on nutritional ketosis. Dr. Mercola has a knack for presenting the science/theory underlying this dietary approach in an easy to understand/palatable way. His passion for this subject enthuses the reader thoughout. Back to the beginning for me, this time armed with a notebook and pen. Thanks Dr. M

Amazing book, packed with helpful information- 5*
