In our pharmaceutical driven world, basic nutrition has been neglected--you can't patent food. Research is still being done, but it is not being spoon fed to the busy healthcare practitioner, as is being done with pharmaceuticals. I really had to dig, but I found the evidence for the nutritional basis of the many of the diseases plaguing us today, which have become epidemic. There are 13,000 unique binding sites for vitamin D3 on human DNA, so it is so very basic to our normal functioning. The reader will find detailed practical knowledge, that they are unlikely to get from the news, WebMD, or their Western healthcare practitioner, including information on all the essential minerals, fatty acids, and anti-oxidants, so that they can safely take prevention into their own hands. For the 3rd edition, a detailed history of vitamins and physiology is presented, giving the origin of the myths still prevalent today, but giving the scientific basis as to why they are myths and not facts.
