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

This book can change your life style. It is not about a diet but about changing your eating style.
I started this life style four weeks ago after doing fasting diets. A lot of people are warning me to go on with this life style, but I feel good. Don't have the need for sugar and cookies anymore. It works.
I thing about the book, it is a lot of information and a lot about stuff I have never heart of. Also about the food supplements. And as a (not native English) listener I do not even know how to spell it. So to search for it on the internet, made it difficult sometimes. This is the reason why I did not give it a full five star ranking.

Sometimes there are books that can change your life.

As above really. I learned quite a bit from Dr. Mercola via this book! I'd need to listen to it again to get some more of what I couldn't take in first time around.

Insightful, useful, and quite complex in parts

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*
