This 3rd edition of The Best of Health is the most recent step in my attempt to preserve the written record of nutrition and disease. The many outstanding reviews in this work demonstrate the purposeful devotion of the scientists and researchers to discover the protocols and modalities that will enhance and extend the lives of everyone. Their goal is to discover the cause of disease as opposed to prescription medicine and its treatment of symptoms. The proliferation of books on disease and fitness is a reflection of the condition of health in America. Obesity is epidemic. Heart disease, cancer, diabetes, arthritis, asthma, and Alzheimer's and other degenerative diseases are rampant. Education of the public is difficult. Nutrition is almost totally lacking in our schools and is inadequate in the medical schools which train our health professionals. That is why this book is so important. The Best of Health: 3rd edition is an excellent starting point for anyone who wishes to learn about nutrition and disease. It is a concentrated course in health through the study of the greatest literature of the last fifty years. You must take charge of your life. Learn the lessons in this book that the giants in the health care field left us as their legacy.
