There's a tug-of-war going on and our health is at risk. Business interests are pulling on one end and science is tugging at the other. Veteran nutritionist and health writer, Nan Kathryn Fuchs, knows how confusing and frustrating this can be for the average health consumer who simply wants to know what to do stay or get healthy. She knows that it takes time to sift through current information and separate hype from the real deal. Aware that very few people actually have the time to read through technical scientific studies and to question researchers and doctors to understand better the validity of their conclusions, this "health detective" has graciously done it for us. There are truly miraculous substances and diagnostic tools out there that could help improve our health dramatically. Fuchs has uncovered a number of these health secrets over nearly a dozen years of writing for Woman's Health Letter. While some are likely to be familiar to the reader, others are less well known. For example, she tells how a common garden herb can often stop the hot flushes that accompany menopause, making hormone replacement therapy unnecessary if this is the primary menopausal complaint and how an overlooked mineral deficiency could be responsible for an under active thyroid, as well as breast cancer. In "The Health Detective's 456 Most Powerful Healing Secrets", Fuchs has gathered the most relevant healing secrets she's come across in her years of unrelenting detective work. From fighting diseases, reversing chronic illness and ending stomach problems to losing weight, looking younger, relieving fatigue, controlling pain and much more - Fuchs reveals the natural and safe ways to go about it. This book makes these healing secrets easy to use and accessible to anyone in search of better, or continued, health.
