The time has come for us to stop thinking about illnesses like
cancer as something the body 'gets' or 'has' but rather to think of
them as something the body does. In this landmark work, leading
researcher and physician Dr David Agus takes readers on a journey
to decode the mystery of health and the human body. For decades
we've tried to whittle down our understanding of the body to a fine
point - a mutation, a germ, a deficiency or a number. But this has
led us astray from a fundamental basic understanding of our bodies
as systems. The End of Illness presents a system's view of the
body, urging readers to begin viewing their total health as a
complex network of processes that cannot be explained by any single
pathway or focal point. In many instances, it does us no good to
try and understand a certain disease; we just need to control it,
much like an air traffic controller manages planes without knowing
how to actually fly one. This radically different perspective on
health will not only change how we care for ourselves, but also the
next generation of treatments, and cures. The book also shows
readers how to personalize their self-care; much of the advice is
surprisingly simple and affordable - such as wearing good shoes and
eating lunch at the same time every day.
