    About this ebook

    Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.

    Book Preview: #1 The United States has the worst health outcomes of any country in the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development. The more money we throw at the problem, the worse it gets, and we haven’t solved it yet.

    #2 The epidemic of metabolic syndrome affects all ages, races, and creeds, but people are still making money off of it. The price of insulin has tripled in just one decade, and many patients have to choose between paying for their medicine or their food or their electricity.

    #3 There is a correlation between the number of visits to an HMO doctor and increasing weight gain in the population. The average American’s weight is up, health is down, and wallet is underwater.

    #4 Modern Medicine is based on the idea that people live longer today than they did a hundred years ago, and that people who are healthy live longer than people who are not. But is that really the case.

      Insights from Chapter 1

      #1

      The United States has the worst health outcomes of any country in the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development. The more money we throw at the problem, the worse it gets, and we haven’t solved it yet.

      #2

      The epidemic of metabolic syndrome affects all ages, races, and creeds, but people are still making money off of it. The price of insulin has tripled in just one decade, and many patients have to choose between paying for their medicine or their food or their electricity.

      #3

      There is a correlation between the number of visits to an HMO doctor and increasing weight gain in the population. The average American’s weight is up, health is down, and wallet is underwater.

      #4

      Modern Medicine is based on the idea that people live longer today than they did a hundred years ago, and that people who are healthy live longer than people who are not. But is that really the case.

      #5

      The healthcare system is collapsing because we have more people to treat, and the percentage of the population with multiple chronic diseases is growing.

      #6

      The leading causes of death and morbidity in the United States are the most expensive for the system: cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, cardiovascular diseases, and type 2 diabetes.

      #7

      The link between food and cancer is becoming clearer every day. As we’ve eschewed proper nutrition in favor of processed food, the incidence of obesity-related cancers has continued to grow at annual rates of 2 to 6 percent for people in the thirty to fifty age bracket.

      #8

      The holy grail of Modern Medicine is to fix healthcare until you fix health, but you can’t fix health until you fix the food. Few people are talking about health, and nobody is talking about the food.

      #9

      Modern Medicine is good at preventing and treating diseases, but it is not good at preventing and reversing the underlying causes of those diseases. As a result, overall health has declined while the number of people who stay alive longer has increased, but not healthier.

      #10

      The first half of the twentieth century was marked by people getting sick and dying. It took government intervention to improve health.

      #11

      The first Golden Age of Modern Medicine lasted only a decade. In 1947, four years after the mass production of penicillin, the first bacterial species to develop resistance to the antibiotic reared its ugly head. Since then, we’ve continued to chase the concept of targeted therapy, but cures continue to elude us.

      #12

      The cluster of NCDs, which cost 75 percent of healthcare dollars in the United States, are diseases that do not have one gene or one pathway to target. They are multifactorial diseases with multiple morbidities.

      #13

      Insulin is the hormone that allows glucose to enter your cells so that it can be burned for energy. When you become insulin resistant, the leptin signal is blocked, so the ghrelin hunger hormone runs things.

      #14

      obesity is the storage of excess energy in the form of fat, while metabolic syndrome is the storage of excess energy in the wrong form in cells that shouldn’t store it. Approximately 40 percent of people who are overweight also have metabolic syndrome.

      #15

      The majority of people who are overweight or obese do not have any signs of illness, and do not suffer from the deadly forms of fat in other organs. However, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease can lead to cirrhosis, just as can happen in chronic alcoholics.

      #16

      While lower LDL cholesterol is good, it isn’t always a risk factor for heart disease. In fact, it may not
