What if just about everything you thought you knew about supplements and health turned out to be... absolutely wrong?

Nutrition expert Dr. Brian Clement, director of the world-famous Hippocrates Health Institute, explores the various myths that have made supplements a "buyer beware" industry.
"Supplements Exposed" strips away layers of deception to reveal the truth about what millions of supplement users each year have taken for granted.

This provocative book guides you through the minefield of choices you face every time you buy vitamins and minerals. It shows you how to decipher product labels that are otherwise deceptive, how to choose naturally occurring (plant-derived) supplements, why recommended daily allowances spread confusion, and much more.

This book reveals in unprecedented detail the toxic truth about the clothes we wear and the surprising number of harmful effects on health caused by garments once considered safe. This is a well-documented expose that the clothing and chemical industries would rather you never learned about.

From toxic chemicals like formaldehyde and phthalates to insecticides, flame retardants, and nano-particles, synthetic clothing today contains a toxic stew of dozens of substances that pose a threat to both human and environmental health. Readers will discover which fabrics and clothes contribute to breast cancer, infertility, and a range of diseases, and which garments are safe to wear.

Based on medical science, these studies have been brought together for the first time in one place; important findings which have previously been hidden from public awareness.

Institute director Dr. Brian Clement provides the information you need to put the principles of the Hippocrates LifeForce program into practice.

Readers will:

* discover how raw living foods help maintain a healthy weight and stimulate natural immune defenses against cancer, heart disease, and other chronic illnesses

*learn how to develop the positive frame of mind that supports good health

* understand the harmful habits that derail the healing process

* learn how to make the transition to eating raw living foods at home, while dining out, and when traveling

* create the support system they need to stay on track

Also included is detailed information on therapeutic juicing and sprouting, the role of vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals and the use of medicinal herbs, as well as recipe favorites from the Hippocrates kitchen.

This book is a man’s education manual about the health effects of hormone imbalance, but just as importantly, it’s a must-read for the women in their life, since it is often the women who inspire and coax men to break through their denial and seek help when they encounter health challenges. That cluster of mid-life hormonal declines, characterizing the medical term Andropause, fits the definition of a significant life challenge, one which nearly all men will eventually face, yet very few of them even realize the condition exists, much less that the vexing symptoms they experience can be remedied. Male menopause (MAN-opause) is a little reported and little understood phenomenon which, as this book shows, may be affecting men at younger ages and for far longer in life than ever recorded before. Using the latest medical science findings, MAN-opause explains in understandable language how any man---with or without a woman’s participation--can take proactive steps, at any stage of life, to neutralize the impact of Andropause and its wide range of debilitating symptoms.
