Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

In Health in the 21st Century: Will Doctors Survive? Dr. Francisco Contreras explains the internal and external factors that influence health conditions. Among the internal factors, he summarizes several theories in regard to the aging process and genetic aspects that determine the milieu intrieur (the body's internal environment). Among the external, he discusses issues related to the environment, the food industry and health institutions. Dr. Francisco Contreras declares that individuals are responsible for their own health, since -to a certain degree- it depends on the individual's lifestyle. He proposes that not only exercise and good nutrition are fundamental to enhance good health, but also psychological and spiritual hygiene are of utmost importance. Dr. Francisco Contreras goes beyond the individual realm, to inform us about the many responsibilities the government and private health institutions elude and thus impede society's good health. He suggests ways each individual can contribute to change the medical establishment. To him, individuals should not only take responsibility for their own health -in order to live at their highest potential-, but should also make themselves be heard by the government to create a healthy country. Health in the 21st Century: Will Doctors Survive? is a book that proposes solutions to health problems, a small handbook that shows you how to take care of your health and a recount of discoveries aiming at the well-being of the individual and society. It is also a rich source of thoughts on how to attain one of the goals that most humans pursue: happiness.

From the Inside Flap

You'll be surprised by what you will learn, fascinated by what you didn't know, and amazed that nobody is doing anything about it. Arm yourself so you may join a powerful, not-so-underground network of people determined to challenge the FDA-an authority that not only freely jeopardizes your health and the health of your loved ones, but acts unlawfully to stifle your freedom of speech, knowledge and medical choice. Unencumbered by conventional ignorance and political correctness, the information contained in this incredible book will arm you with what you need to know so you can make responsible decisions about your family's health. Read this book and LEARN about environmental enemies that threaten our health, the gross inadequacies of conventional medicine, how the food industry is ruled by money, not nutrition, the absolute necessity of nutritional supplementation, and the power of God to confront disease with great strength. DISCOVER how nutrition can make our lives longer and better, which drugs and processed foods to avoid, why more and more doctors are prescribing alternative therapies, and who is profiting from dangerous medicine. FIGHT DISEASE by discovering carefully hidden research elaborately buried and denied by convention but proven over and over through valid scientific testing and study by licensed, credential doctors and scientists. Dr. Contreras debunks commonly held beliefs about disease, and uncovers compelling evidence of governmental plots so insidious but plausible that they have to be true. After reading this book, you'll want to immediately contact your government representatives. You'll want to DEMAND freedom of medical choice after reading how conventional medical "wisdom" promotes health-care dogma and effectively limits your viable and efficacious health-care choices. Health-care reform is a farce. We are being treated as subjects, not citizens. Only with a thorough, well-informed uprising of medical consumers will we win back the freedoms entrusted to us by our forefathers. HELP YOURSELF with the positive information contained in this book, the benefits of nutritional supplementation and how it can help you reverse the chemical, informational and political poison forced on you and your loved ones daily. I highly recommend this book, and I encourage all my friends, readers and followers to read it thoroughly. If you aren't already politically and medically active already, you will be after reading this book. Maureen Kennedy Salaman

4.0 out of 5 stars A very inspiring and useful book, June 11, 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: Health in the 21st Century: Will Doctors Survive? (Paperback)
If you want to learn how to lead a more healthy, balanced and fulfilled life, this is the book to read. It's brimming with amazing information about what sort of things undermine our health; contaminated food, antibiotics and doctors themselves, to name a few. I appreciated the humorous, frank style of the writing and the fact it was written from a christian perspective without being preachy. People from all walks of life should be able to benefit from reading it. Conventional medicine versus alternative medicine is a hot topic these days and this book clearly lays out both sides. Alternative methods are gaining popularity and now I understand why
