1995249 pages. "I have a passion: unlimited health. In order to reduce this dream, I went to medical school. For many years, I was convinced that I was on the right track. Reality, however, was something else altogether. Thoughts, emotions and feelings, these invisible and untouchable antagonists invariably frustrated me in my scientific work. I then turned to alternative medicines and natural therapies, which offered other solutions for overall health. I set out in search of them to many countries and discovered the benefits they had to offer. But people continue to suffer and die all the same. Why? Why is our state of health constantly deteriorating? Why does our medical system cost so much? Why is it maintained when everyone is so dissatisfied with it? Whom does it profit? Not knowing where to go next, I turned inward. Unlimited health was waiting for me there!" - Author. Distributor's stamp upon half-title page else clean, bright and unmarked with light wear. Appears unread. Nice copy. Book
