The fourth volume in the highly popular new series of high-tech thrillers created by Tom Clancy and Steve Pieczenik. Syrian terrorists have attacked a dam inside the borders of Turkey, threatening the water supply of their very homeland. It is not insanity, but the first step in a deceptively simple plan: force all-out war in the Middle East. This will draw elite troops out of the capital of Damascus, leaving the Syrian president unprotected -- and an easy target for assassination. What the terrorists don't know is that a new Regional Op-Centre is now on-line in Greece. A mobile version of the permanent crisis management facility, the ROC is a cutting-edge surveillance and information mecca. And its team can see exactly what the Syrian rebels are trying to do. But the terrorists are more resourceful than anyone thinks. They also have ways of obtaining classified information. And the Regional Op-Centre -- the United States' newest toy -- is a prize not to be passed up. . .

Their fate rests in the hands of a devious double agent whose own agenda is unknown - a man who could just as easily sell them out as set them free...

This book is the second book in the "Revolution in Health" series. The first book, "A Revolution in Health Through Nutritional Biochemistry," was written by the authors in 2007. They now follow up that work with this groundbreaking book, "A Revolution in Health Part 2: How to Take Charge of Your Health." In these books they describe how they have put into practice more than 100 years of research and how you can use this information to revolutionize your life.

"The MetaCT 400 test and MetaCT Program provided me with improvement in my condition that I was told was not possible. For about a tenth of the cost of conventional treatments, Dr. Neustadt's treatments have reduced my IBS symptoms by over 90%." -- Steve, Spokane, Wash.

"Three days after starting the program], I felt like a new person. Most of the chronic muscle, bone, and joint aches I have been having for over 10 years went away. I felt stronger, lighter on my feet, and for the first time I tired out my children while playing with them outside. The 'restless leg' condition I have been having at night stopped too. The slight depression I felt was lifted as well. I now sleep better, deeper, and wake up more refreshed. I have been to sleep studies and have seen many doctors, and nothing has helped as immediately."
-- John, Trussville, Ala.

The culmination of more than ten years of research by the authors, this book describes for the first time ever the scientific basis and clinical applications of medical biochemistry, a fundamental paradigm shift in medicine. This paradigm shift is so revolutionary that it has been called the Neustadt-Pieczenik Paradigm, which is the fusion and clinical applications of biochemistry, thermodynamics, physiology, fractal enzymology, nutritional medicine and laboratory testing to identify and correct the underlying causes of many diseases that are considered genetic in nature (eg, Phenylketonuria) and those that are not considered genetic (eg, mature onset asthma, depression, fatigue). In this new medicine, doctors must reject the failed, purely symptomatic treatments they learned in medical school and focus on learning and treating the underlying biochemical causes of disease. From the first documented clinical observations of biochemical individuality in the early 1900s to the development of sophisticated biochemical tests, the authors provide a detailed and stunning analysis of a new medical model to help millions and cure our ailing healthcare system. They uniquely contrast the conventional medical approach with the functional biochemical approach through extensive case studies on depression, arthritis, migraine headaches, seizures, rashes and more. This book is a must-read for physicians, medical students, nutritionists, and anyone looking to take charge of their health.

Biochemical testing is a revolutionary concept in medicine that has saved many lives and improved the health of countless others. Symptoms and diseases have underlying biochemical causes, and advanced testing technologies can now detect the exact steps within pathways causing diseases, including depression, fatigue, adult-onset asthma, seizure disorders, multiple sclerosis, osteoporosis, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, irritable bowel syndrome, memory loss, and more. Biochemical abnormalities may then be corrected using targeted nutrient therapies. Nutritional Biochemistry is a revolutionary approach that is redefining medicine and providing clinicians the ability treat the underlying causes of disease instead of just ameliorating symptoms with drugs.

"The principles set out in this book are at the same time both ancient and revolutionary. Ancient because they have been known and followed for thousands of years, but revolutionary in our time because they run counter to the approach to health with which all of us have grown up. The principles are simple: 1) most medical approaches treat symptoms not causes; 2) most pharmaceuticals and medicines are intended to destroy something, not add something; 3) with our modern lives and diet, most people are lacking one or more things essential to the proper functioning of the body and need to add them, both to eliminate existing problems and to maintain optimum health. These principles are always a supplement, sometimes an alternative, to conventional medicine. "I cite my own successful experience that they work when conventional treatments have not done so.""
