The End of Illness by Dr. David B. Agus


 The End of Illness by Dr. David B. Agus, has covered health in basically  three parts:

Part 1: The science and art of defining your health - this part covers what is health, a Pound of cure, go back to the future, rotten eggs and cute chicks, two French restaurants one without butter.

Part2: The Elements  of  healthy  style - this part covers proceeding with caution, the truth about synthetic shortcuts, the fallacy of fresh, hot and heavy, running to sit still, timing is everything.

Part3: The Future You - This part covers hi tech helth,  the give and take i.e sharing of medical information,  the art of doing nothing.

We need these conversations to happen. They power cycles that are our life to the ultimate destination : a place where we all die the way we want to - with dignity, peace, a sound mind and in as much good Physical health as possible.

The intention of this book is threefold:

1) to propose a new model of health that will dramatically change your view of the human body 

2) To show you how to apply that model to your own life through tactical Strategies and practical prescriptions and 

3) To reveal eye opening medical Technologies that are currently available or in development that can help you to achieve the quality of life and longevity that you deserve.

The entire book can be summarised in a single phrase as 'get to know yourself'. It's human nature to point fingers at someone or something else for our own flaws and shortcomings and to avoid any personal culpability.

This indispensable book is filled with practical but impossible to ignore suggestions that may surprise readers including :

1) how taking multivitamins and supplements could significantly increase our risk for diseases like cancer over time 

2) why sitting down most of the day despite a serinus morning workout can be as bad as or worse than smoking 

3) the single most important thing we can do today to preserve our health and happiness that cause absolutely nothing.

He emphasizes that that is no 'right' answer, no master guide that's 'one-size-fits-all' each one of us must get to know our bodies in uniquely personal ways and he shows us exactly how to do that so that we can individually create a plan to live longer and better.
