Format:Paperback
Dr. Wallach's book Dead Doctors Don't Lie throws an important new light on the prevention and treatment of human diseases. His 38 years as a veterinarian and then training as a medical doctor meant that his approach to disease is quite different. He was brought up on a farm and saw that keeping the animals healthy was of prime importance, with the emphasis on prevention. As a result of intensive farming over many years soils have become severely depleted and we are all beginning to suffer from deficiencies, particularly mineral deficiencies. This has been known by veterinarians and farmers for a long time and yet, as Dr. Wallach points out, most doctors never consider this aspect and concentrate on treating the symptoms and not the cause. This is why cures for some human illnesses never progress. Dr. Wallach's revelation about the prevention of cystic fibrosis is shocking. Gene therapy has become the `holy cow' of the scientific community and according to Dr. Wallach they would rather search in vain for a faulty gene than admit that this is a CONGENITAL disease which can easily be prevented, and not a GENETIC one, for fear of losing their research funds. Meanwhile thousands continue to suffer from this distressing disease.
This book is a must, but don't be put off by Dr. Wallach's sales adventures.

This is another important book for those seeking to improve their health by finding alternative solutions.
The author's basic tenet is that all diseases and health complaints are due to a lack of minerals/vitamins. The two minerals we all most need to supplement our diet with are selenium and copper. Selenium protects against heart disesase, cancer and MS, and, notably, is an essential supplement for women prior to pregnancy, since Wallach brought to light and proved years ago that the cause of cystic fibrosis is not genetic as claimed but due to the expectant mother's lack of selenium. Copper protects against aneurysms, amongst other things.
One of the basic supplements we all should take is a vitamin/mineral mixture containing at least ca. 70 minerals in colloid form for easy absorption obtained from a special mineral-rich source, since these essential minerals and trace substances are otherwise unavailable in our diet.
Wallach has obtained his information from his early experience as a veterinary surgeon. He claims all vets have access to the information he presents, and that all the diseases we humans suffer and die from have long been eradicated in farm animals by means of the mineral supplementation he now suggests for us people.
Perhaps the most valuable part of the book is the two appendices, the first containing details of all the essential minerals, the second comprising information on natural treatments for a large range of diseases/health problems.
Unfortunately, your doctor is not privy to this information!

Dead Doctors Don't Lie
9 Aug 2005
Format:Paperback
G'day,
I was always a sceptic, laughing at people who took supplements until...
BANG! A heart attack at 45.
What Dr Joel Wallach's book has done for me is to explain, in layman's terms, the reasons for what happened in my case and the reasons for many degenerative diseases. His explanation as to why we need supplementation has also changed my attitude in this area. It is true that Dr Wallach's finding on mineral deficiency diseases challenge the paradigm of "orthodox" medicine thus its no wonder that people are sceptical.
The first part of the book, Dr Wallach's Biography, is very important as it allows us to peek into this scientist's life and see how his discovery was made. (Like many discoveries it was accidental!!). The second part of the book the functions of Minerals and the alternative approaches for dealing with degenerative diseases are worth their eight in gold!! This book is a must for anyone who values their family's HEALTH.
Email me if you want more info (...)

A Seminal Work in Life Extension - wanna live forever?
4 Mar 2009
Format:Paperback
This is the book that the famous lecture of the same name is based on.
Search for this title and you'll find that lecture on the web.
You must *NOT* miss this one! Why?
There are things that work and things that don't.
Doctors tell you how you should eat and drink, but they live only a fraction of the average persons life span (hence the books sarcastic title). That doesn't work. What does? Doctor Wallach contrasts what you've been told to eat with the diets of populations who live, work and play routinely into their hundreds. He goes further and breaks it down into exactly what's in those diets, why they work, and how to get them into your own diet. Not only will you live longer, but also much, much healthier. Aging doesn't have to be debilitating. Combine this with a controlled carb probiotic diet, and you'll live long enough to see the cure for that age old disease -- aging!
Written with wit done extra wry :-)
