How to Make Disease Disappear

Product Information

One in ten Americans currently has type 2 diabetes, and one in four has its precursor, pre-diabetes. He’s done that by working out what the various triggers have been in his individual patients and correcting them, reversing their symptoms. Chatterjee, reveals we can reverse and make disease disappear without a complete overhaul of our lifestyle.

Half of all American adults currently suffer with a chronic disease, with one in four people suffering from two or more. The problem is we apply that same thinking to chronic disease and it simply doesn’t work because chronic disease doesn’t just happen. It stops you putting fuel on Dotty’s raging fire but then we’ve got to work out what started the fire in the first place and what was the fuel that caused it to burn for so long. That means that looking out amongst you now, there is probably 250 people in here who have one of these long term conditions. A much-needed program to prevent and reverse disease, and discover a path to sustainable, long-term health from an acclaimed international doctor and star of the BBC program Doctor in the House.

Let me tell you about one patient I met whom I found to be struggling with an all-too-common chronic disease. I believe my decade and a half of practice qualifies me to make simple recommendations that, as long as they do no harm, don’t need to wait for all the science to catch up. Chatterjee passionately advocates and follows a philosophy that lifestyle and nutrition are first-line medicine and the cornerstone of good health. In some people, one night’s sleep deprivation can give you as much insulin-resistance as 6 months on a junk food diet.

Seventeen years ago, I graduated from medical school full of enthusiasm and passion, ready to go out and help people. You can think about it a little bit like a fire that has been burning in Dotty’s body for years, it’s getting bigger, it’s getting bigger until its finally raging out of control and at that point I can say to Dotti, hey you have a disease. And if my medical training was failing me so badly for so many of my patients, what else could I do but embark on my own course of re-education? They can all raise levels of cortisol in your body, which raises your sugar, which in turn can contribute to insulin resistance.Despite the statistics and the suffering, so much confusion exists about what we can do in our own lives to protect ourselves and live long, healthy lives. Because an anti-depressant is designed to raise the level of a chemical in your brain but what if the cause of your depression is actually coming from your body and the inflammation that’s in your body, surely it makes more sense to address that? This is a whole new way of looking at what, why and how we eat and helps you design your own plan to build a better, healthier relationship with food. As an MD, my days were filled with seeing patients with chronic conditions such as joint pain, headaches, type 2 diabetes, insomnia, depression, weight gain and fatigue.
