Editorial Reviews:

Two physicians unveil a revolutionary, accessible, science-based, patient-centered program for living an active, age-defying, disease-free life.

Healthcare is pulled and shaped by many forces, by drug and insurance companies looking for profits, by politicians in search of votes, and by stressed, overworked physicians who barely have time to talk to you before writing a prescription or packing you off to a specialist.

So is anyone interested in keeping you well?

Yes. Created by two physicians who both survived catastrophic illness, the Ultraprevention program will work for absolutely everyone -- old, young, healthy, sick, or somewhere in between. The promise of its practice is huge -- a health span that matches life span -- and you'll experience increased energy, weight loss, enhanced mood and memory, better digestion, deeper sleep, diminished stress, and more.

Ultraprevention is the new science of staying healthy, an innovative program that shatters the myths of today's "fix-the-broken-parts" medicine. These myths -- drugs cure disease, genes determine your fate, getting older means aging, fat is a four-letter word -- are actually believed by many doctors and are keeping you sick.

Ardent general practitioners, Drs. Hyman and Liponis reject the current healthcare system of specialists paid to find something wrong, specialists who don't consider how their "cure" for one ailment affects the entire body.

Working outside the managed care model at Canyon Ranch in the Berkshires, Hyman and Liponis break free of the vicious quick-fix prescription cycle and formulate a program that identifies and eliminates the cause of disease instead of just masking symptoms.

Isolating the source of more than 90 percent of today's most common diseases, from cancer and heart disease to diabetes, stroke, and Alzheimer's, they enumerate the Five Forces of Illness -- Sludge (malnutrition), Burnout (impaired metabolism), Heat (inflammation), Waste (impaired detoxification), and Rust (oxidative stress). Through the practice of the six-week Ultraprevention program, you'll learn three simple steps -- each only two weeks long -- that stop these forces and create a lifetime of good health by removing allergens, infections, and toxins from the body and environment; repairing the body through personalizing nutrition, boosting the immune system, and balancing hormones; and recharging with stress management, sleep restoration, and gentle movement.

So stop falling for the myths that make you sick and start Ultraprevention, the powerful plan to get older without aging, to maintain health for all of life.

Summary: What your doctor may not know about your long term health
Comment: I found this book to be extremely helpful. It outlines health issues in a very easy to understand way and gives great tips on tests you can ask for when you visit your doctor that will help you determine how to manage your long term health. The author makes a great case for preventing disease rather than dealing with it in crisis mode. He does a very through job explaining how all you body systems need to work together to create a healty life.

I have started following his program and have never felt better!

Summary: Good for Tidbits
Comment: This book is a mixed bag. On the good side the early pages were excellent and informative. The first chapter is a health myth test. There was a lot I didn't know and I was drawn in. Then the first half goes into the health care myths and why they aren't true. Informative stuff. And it is the first book I have seen to dispense with the illusion that your doctor and health care provider are going to look out for you -- and be blunt about it.

But the second half got lazy. The authors started contradicting themselves; ie. don't diet you will lose muscle mass; but then saying a few chapters later to eat less as many studies had concluded that eating less was healthy for you. They say eat less in one sentence and then spend chapters telling you to eat more. Eat more veggies; fruit; more fish; more nuts.

They keep telling you that mainstream doctors won't listen and that mainstream doctors won't run unnecessary tests. Then they ask you to go get unnecessary (to many doctors) tests. Um right. How can I get the tests they want me to get if I have to go to my doctor to get them? So the entire basis of this book relies on a doctor being willing (and my insurance being willing) to pay for the tests that they admit doctors don't see value in at this time. They keep referring to what they do at Canyon Ranch -- well sorry we can't all be your patients.

Then they keep telling you about things that are bad for you, such as mercury poisoning, but not telling you in detail how to cure it or treat it. Well isn't that why I bought the book?

The final chapters are an ill-organized mess of saying the same thing over and over and over until you can't tell why you are doing what. I am pretty sure that *throw in everything but the kitchen sink* was what they were aiming for.

So, I am glad I purchased the book because it does have some good things in there that I didn't hear before (did you know that eating slow helps heal your stomach lining?), but I will have to go through it at few times and cut it down to the things that are most important in my life and that I can reasonably do.
