Product Description
The author, a Columbia University graduate who designed spacecraft for NASA and is also an inventor, lawyer, entrepreneur, and holistic health practitioner, embarked on a twenty year research project to determine how the human body could remain healthy for the longest possible time. If you are interested in learning the results, read The Wellness Project: A Rocket Scientist’s Blueprint for Health. You do not need a background in science to understand this book because it is based on a principle that is rarely found in the health community: common sense. The results of his research are quite startling, and look nothing like what the health community would have us believe. He uses nature as a guide, with more than 350 references. The diet portion of the book is a real eye-opener, and does not resemble any diet in print, yet is backed by the largest “clinical study” in the history of humanity. You will learn about the one diet that works for all human beings and is nature’s solution to an omnivore’s dilemma. The detoxification section of the book (how to get the poisons out of our body), is another eye-opener. For example, find out why eating three kinds of “dirt” can be important to maintain your health, and how certain types of emotional detoxification can speed up the removal of physical toxins from our body. This book also includes sections on lifestyle and our environment, proving that staying healthy is not rocket science!
