Today's book is really a booklet...one that I picked up in a health shop a number of years back on holiday (...good holiday reading of course!!)
This booklet came to mind as a friend of ours was diagnosed with high cholesterol just recently and I was thinking this would be of use to him and may be of use to some of you other folks out there.
One of the things I like about it is that it is written from a naturopathic perspective and looks at health and disease with a multi pronged holistic approach.
In medical practice these days...it seems to be the opposite. A diagnosis is given after breaking things down in to pieces and individual components.... in search of a culprit who is then blamed.
We've all heard for years that cholesterol = bad news... (it being blamed as the bad guy that causes heart disease). This book puts it in to context of the bigger picture of why we need cholesterol and what other factors may be the baddie creating disease states instead.
