ABOUT THE BOOK
EDITORIAL REVIEW
The public too often hears about a new life-saving therapy, only to be told that the treatment won’t be available for many years. The Life Extension Foundation is proud to release the fourth edition of Disease Prevention and Treatment. This significantly expanded fourth edition provides 1,535 pages of concise information about therapies that are documented in the scientific literature, but are not routinely incorporated into clinical medical practice. Many of the recommendations in this latest edition of DiseasePrevention and Treatment provide "inside" information about what innovative physicians are doing to prevent and treat the degenerative diseases of aging. Disease Prevention and Treatment contains novel information that the general public and their doctors are largely unaware of. A few examples of the kind of unique information contained in this book include:
• A drug that is 92% effective in preventing the flu in people who have been exposed to influenza.
• A simple head positioning technique that resolves vertigo symptoms in 50% of cases.
• Proven methods to reduce prescription drug side effects while saving big dollars on your drug purchases.
• A nutrient that suppresses excess insulin production, resulting in reduced carbohydrate craving and subsequent body fat reduction.
• The devastating role that chronic inflammation plays in degenerative disease and novel methods of suppressing the inflammatory cascade.
• A simple blood test that predicts your risk of developing type II diabetes four years ahead of time.
• Hormone imbalances that cause mental depression and how you can correct these.
• FDA-approved drugs that fight cancer, but are over-looked by most oncologists.
• Novel methods to treat either constipation-or diarrhea type irritable bowel syndrome.
• Steps you can take right now to dramatically reduce stroke risk.
• Eight critical steps to controlling or curing cancer that are not routinely used in conventional oncology practice.
• The missing link that causes fibromyalgia patients to endure chronic pain.
• The most effective drug to alleviate the miseries of insomnia.
• Why anti-hypertensive drugs often fail to adequately control high blood pressure and how the dose can be adjusted to make them work better.
• The only therapy shown to slow the progression of Parkinson’s disease (by 44%) over a 16-month study period.
• A nutritional protocol for autistic children that parents said doubled improvement in just eight weeks.
• A European drug that protects against glaucoma-induced optic nerve damage.
• A French drug that lowers infections associated with chronic bronchitis by 60%
• Precautions one should take when supplementing with DHEA.
• Safer estrogen replacement drugs to relieve menopausal miseries.
• An OTC drug that can knock out herpes outbreaks within 24 to 48 hours. This drug also shortens the duration of shingles (herpes zoster attacks).
• A superior method for treating acute heart attack (blocked coronary arteries) than currently used clot-dissolving therapies (such as tPA).
• Why hepatitis C treatment fails so often and a simple step that can be taken to circumvent this impediment.
• In-depth protocols to treat the leading types of cancer including prostate, breast and colon.
• A common hormone deficiency that contributes to age-associated mental impairment and congestive heart failure.
The protocols discussed in this book are documented by thousands of published studies from internationally recognized scientific journals. Despite this bountiful evidence, the medical establishment largely ignores many of the therapies recommended in this book.
The leading cause of death and disability today is ignorance about scientific approaches to prevent and treat degenerative disease. The novel information contained in Disease Prevention and Treatment could literally save your life. This hardbound book is fully indexed to enable the reader to quickly locate innovative solutions for 129 difficult-to-treat medical conditions. This medical reference is a must have for any home library.

USER REVIEWS
"This is a thourogh book and helps in the understanding and natural curing of many different diseases. One of my faverite things that this book is that it gives you detailed information on the herbs and what is a safe amount to take and the amount of such an herb, vitamin, or mineral that is ok and good in small amounts but could actually hurt you if you took a large dose. It lets you know what is safe for you to take and how much of something is not safe. Also it covers many diseases."

"I got this book with my initial subscription to Life Extension Foundation. It is an amazing source of health information and my husband and I (both over 50) refer to it over and over. I just had a copy sent to my sister as a birthday present as she was very interested after I told her about it. The book is formatted to present many, many common diseases and conditions in alphabetical order with a chapter on each (such as Asthma, Heart Disease, Thyroid problems, HIV, Hypertension just to name a few). For each subject, they talk about the symptoms, how diagnosis is done, what mainstream treatments are, what medications are used (plus pros and cons), and most importantly to me, what alternatives treatments are either currently being used, or, under investigation and gives sources so you can research it yourself. The chapter about blood testing is particularly interesting because it explains each test you see on your lab report in detail. Also, most labs print "normal" ranges that are not necessarily considered normal anymore and the book describes what LEF considers "normal", what the target should be, and why. The one thing that non-LEF member readers may find off-putting is that LEF products are often mentioned with info on how to buy them. [...] They do research that is not funded by food or drug companies and sell (high quality) supplements and products. I think everyone should have this book and at least take time to read about heart disease and hypertension.. two topics that are completely misrepresented by the FDA and food and drug industries these days.. take the time to update your knowledge on these important topics!"

" The book is well-documented and gives complete and clear explanations of diseases, causes, and possible solutions - ultimately suggesting which product is a natural way to releive symptoms and improve health. That's fine, except they don't do enough to alert you that fixing one thing may be bad for another. While you can talk live to an "advisor" anytime, they are not medical doctors and may not be aware of negative consequences of an item. For example, if you have burning with urination, the book and advisors may lead you to take the potent "CRANMAX" which may be excellent for urinary tract infection. But if the burning is from prostrate problems, a heavy dose of cranberry juice (quite acidic) is not a good idea.
They should do more to point such contradictions."

"As the largest block of Americans approaches the ranks of senior status, we face an economy that is incapable of taking care of us we become feeble incompetent old people, especially when there will be more people over the age of 50 in the USA than under the age of 50 by the year 2025!! We owe it to ourselves and our children to be strong, healthy, vital seniors capable of thinking for ourselves, strong enough to carry our own groceries, healthy enough to function independently and if we need to, continue to work well past 65 to support ourselves. The only way to do this is with the Prevention of Disease, not by treating the symptoms of degenerative diseases after they occur. This comprehensive text is extremely valuable for anyone interested in saving their own future, from the medical person to the average consumer of nutritional products."

"As a registered nurse and also a diabetic, I found the Fourth Edition to
contain an impressive amount of helpful information. I not only read the
chapter on Diabetes, but I also read several other chapters that are related
to health conditions that both my husband and I experience. I was very
impressed by the fact that the information was presented in a professional
manner and was substantiated by numerous recent scientific studies to refer
to for more specific information about the methods used and the findings
described. I plan to implement some of the information given in the Diabetes
chapter and to discuss other issues that might apply to my condition with my
doctor during my next visit. I have no reservations about encouraging
everyone to read the information in this book."
