“Travis Christofferson provides a compelling strategy for curing our broken health care system based on ‘moneyball’ logic, common sense, and validated science. Why is the logic and science supporting this strategy ignored? Every member of our society should address the questions posed in Curable, especially those in the health care industry and in the US congress.”―Thomas N. Seyfried, PhD, author of Cancer as a Metabolic Disease

“We cannot expect the health care industry to change on its own. We have to take ownership of our own choices, look at the research with a critical eye, and compel the change that we so desperately need. Nobody provides the evidence-based rallying cry like Travis Christofferson, and Curable is a perfect blueprint for some of the ways we can start to make real improvements to the health of our nation, now.”―Aubrey Marcus, CEO, Onnit; New York Times best-selling author of Own the Day, Own Your Life

“Travis Christofferson’s highly anticipated new book does not disappoint. Our current medical system (I find it difficult to call it ‘health’ care) is defective, and Curable goes into great detail as to why and offers an intelligent approach to the future of medicine. A growing number of doctors are finding ways to support their patient outcomes by repurposing drugs as well as changing their thinking in order to approach the challenge of chronic illness with entirely new methods. However, with the average clinical study costing millions of dollars and taking 17 years to go from bench to bedside, patients often don’t have the luxury of time nor the financial resources to utilize these expensive treatments. Christofferson encourages us to look beyond the dogma and leads us down an entirely new path. I anticipate this book will be an important wake up call for physicians, patients, and biotechnicians to come together and return ‘health’ to health care.”―Dr. Nasha Winters, coauthor of The Metabolic Approach to Cancer

“Curable is exceptionally well written, captivating, and convincing. It’s true that the existing problem with health care is psychological and systemic, and there are numerous examples and stories to support this. Travis Christofferson advances the idea of repurposing drugs in innovative ways, which has the potential to revolutionize a profit-driven and incompetent health care system. The off-label use of generic drugs can be highly efficacious and an adjuvant to augment existing therapies. For examples, see the recent studies on the use of metformin for cancer or the use of ketamine for drug-resistant depression. There are many ideas presented in this book that are incredibly important for researchers, health care professionals, and educators to understand and disseminate. Curable is incredibly informative, and I will be sure to recommend it to all my colleagues and students.”―Dominic D’Agostino, PhD, associate professor, USF Morsani College of Medicine

 “Travis Christofferson elegantly details why and how Western medicine is failing us and, more importantly, gives us a road map for recovery. We already have the tools of the trade to change direction, we simply need a new driver to effect those changes. Curable helps to properly inform those that wish to take control of their health to identify interventions that are biologically plausible and which have a proper scientific basis. These are time-tested therapies with minimal side effects and maximal outcomes that can give us all the power to change direction. As Lao Tzu said, ‘If you do not change direction, you may end up where you are heading.’ Read this book and steer yourself back to good health.”―Dr. Sarah Myhill, author of Sustainable Medicine and Diagnosis and Treatment of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Myalgic Encephalitis

“Travis Christofferson seamlessly weaves together psychology, medicine, history, and insight in this page-turning book, providing a compelling case for improving the quality of life of patients in efficient and effective ways. Christofferson has an exceptional ability to synthesize the work of others, and in Curable he brings it all together in a gripping narrative that’s both informative and entertaining.”―Bob Kaplan, MS, MBA, medical research analyst

Travis Christofferson, MS, is the author of Curable and  Tripping Over the Truth and received his undergraduate degree in molecular biology from the Honors College at Montana State University and a master’s degree in material engineering and science from the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology.
