Live, in good health, for as long as possible! Yes, you can! Every day, our life expectancy increases by six hours, thanks to the advances of medical science and our improving lifestyle. Can we do better? Can we go as far as Jeanne Calment, the oldest person to have ever lived, who reached 122 years of age? Yes, it is possible! Today we are able to make a human cell immortal; what we do not yet know is how to do this for all of our cells, in all of our tissues, all of our organs, and for all of our functions. The author of this book draws us into the magical landscape of our 60 trillion intelligent cells. He shows us how aging gradually insinuates itself into our DNA. More importantly, he shares with us the incredible promises of stem cells, telomerase, biotechnology, nanomedicine, and, finally, the critical impact of a healthy lifestyle.
This book explores the scientific perspective on the concept of intuition, particularly in relation to vibration, music and emotion. Taking a multimedia approach, it contains practical exercises that will help the reader to achieve greater intuition and develop their capacity for creativity and innovation. The exercises in this book come from over a hundred workshops worldwide in both business and higher education. They include, for example, the “Mind Map of Me”, an introspective exercise designed to develop trust and confidence in the self and the reader’s own intuition. The book opens the field of possibilities to the reader, offering encouragement and motivation to explore new approaches and techniques. With these tools, intuition can become a valuable ally in everyday life.
Ever since the publication of Ancel Keys’ watershed ‘Seven Countries Study’ in 1970, medical thinking has posited a causal link between the intake of animal fats and coronary heart disease. The research of Prof. Harumi Okuyama and his colleagues presented in this new publication suggests that this link is in fact tenuous. It goes beyond that to suggest that current medical wisdom regarding lipid nutrition may actually be counterproductive. This ground-breaking analysis is likely to be debated for many years to come. The ‘Seven Countries Study’, which identified the specifics of the Mediterranean Diet and awarded it a central position in combating coronary heart disease, triggered s...
David Servan-Schreiber tinha 31 anos e era uma estrela em ascensão da neuropediatria quando descobriu que tinha um tumor maligno no cérebro. Jovem e ambicioso, não acreditou que fosse o princípio do fim. Começou a perguntar a outros médicos: O que posso fazer, para além da medicina tradicional? A resposta foi sempre a mesma: nada. David não acreditou, e começou a investigar por si próprio. Ao longo de 15 anos coligiu tudo o que a ciência tinha produzido sobre a doença, no campo da oncologia, do nutricionismo, da psicologia. Foi juntando as pontas soltas, criando um sistema, todo um novo estilo de vida. Venceu o cancro por duas vezes, combinando a medicina tradicional com uma nova maneira de viver. E nesta obra pioneira revela o método usado, os alimentos certos, os exercícios e o ajuste emocional necessários. Obra científica mas também um livro de memórias, Anticancro expressa uma vibrante crença no ser humano e nas suas extraordinárias capacidades para vencer qualquer desafio. A edição que agora se apresenta foi meticulosamente revista pelo autor em função das muitas dúvidas e questões que os seus pacientes lhe colocaram ao longo dos anos.

For more than half a century, the relationship between dietary factors and coronary heart disease (CHD) has been a major focus of health research. Contrary to the established view, current data suggest that dietary cholesterol is not a primary factor of or causes heart disease with the possible exception of the genetic forms of familial hypercholesterolemias. For instance, recent clinical trials evaluating the effect of cholesterol-lowering drugs on the development of chronic heart failure, diabetes and stroke have yielded disappointing results. On the other hand, an unbalanced omega-6/omega-3 fatty acid ratio and a cholesterol intake not consistent with the amount during evolution seem to b...
