Review

What's Killing You and What to Do About It, Donald Monus and David Hamilton, 1st Books (AuthorHouse), 2004


Many health, diet and how-to-live-longer books are currently on the market. This one comes from the perspective of 20 years of Naturopathic research by Monus, looking at the diseases caused by our modern way of life.

There are times when taking antibiotics is a very good idea, but they should not be taken every day, like a multi-vitamin. Not only will the body build up an immunity to antibiotics, so that higher and higher doses will be needed, but each dose will weaken the body's immune system until it can barely handle the common cold.

Even if you don't take antibiotics every day, you are still taking antibiotics every day. How? Cows, pigs, chickens and other meat animals are given large doses of antibiotics and other chemicals every day to keep them healthy during their short lives. Antibiotics have been found in the water supply which is sprayed on crops that make it to your dinner table and in the water that comes out of your faucet. Just wait until next winter's cold and flu season meets all those weakened immune systems.

Another item that is slowly creating havoc with your immune system is your bedside alarm clock/radio. Electric devices like that give off harmful RF (radio frequency) energy anywhere up to two feet in every direction. You may be sleeping in a field of RF energy. If you sit in front of a computer for long periods of time, you are sitting in a giant bubble of RF energy. The computer, monitor, surge suppressor, printer and any other nearby components are all giving off energy that is wiping out your immune system. And then there are cell phones, another source of RF energy, seemingly glued to the ears of most people.

One of the major causes of disease are parasites and viruses that enter the body through a surprising number of ways. They won't show up on the average blood test, because no one actually looks at blood under a microscope any more. Once the patient has flushed their system of parasites and adopted a much healthier diet (the book tells how), the effects of even major diseases like multiple sclerosis and cancer have been severely reduced or even totally reversed.

This book is meant to be used in addition to, not instead of, regular medical treatment. A major recommendation of the authors is that each person should take responsibility for their health; don't leave it for the medical profession. I have read this book twice and can only say Wow. It is very easy to read, quite eye-opening (some might call it radical) and extremely highly recommended.
