Sarah Myhill and Craig Robinson's new book brings together all the
guidance offered across their many other publications to show why a
paleo-ketogenic diet is evolutionarily correct, and therefore the
healthiest option, and how it can be practised affordably, easily
and sustainably so that chronic 'diseases of civilisation' can be
prevented or reversed. Discover how to prevent 'the upper
fermenting gut' - the cause of the current epidemic of oesophageal
cancer and other digestive problems. Find out how to clear out
chronic infections and toxins and what to expect while doing so.
Pick and choose from a selection of delicious low-carb whole-food
recipes that will provide a high level of nutrients in the right
balance. Just do it!
This is Dr Sarah Myhill’s comprehensive guide to health care for
health practitioners and motivated patients alike – armed with
this knowledge, wellness and an optimal health-span should be
within our grasp and the grasp of all those we care for. Easy to
follow, logical and evidence based, Dr Myhill shows how, if we can
get the basics right, disease specific benefits will follow. She
does not pretend it’s easy but the incentives are undeniable. A
range of case histories – organised by body system to match
earlier chapters - show how to apply the theory in this book to
ourselves and to those we care for, personally and/or
professionally. Using principally the PK diet, vitamin C, iodine,
sleep and exercise, plus Dr Myhill’s ‘Groundhog regimes’ (so
called because they require constant repetition), ecological
medicine can be available to all both practically and affordably.
Changes for the new edition include completely revised chapters on
the PK diet, iodine, vitamin C and eye health; a greatly expanded
chapter on skin health; new information throughout on covid-19,
vaccinations, uric acid metabolism, tackling inflammation,
importance of boron, thyroid health and treatment, plus many new
references
Hypothyroidism is one of the commonest yet the worst treated
condition in Western medicine. Why? Because today's doctor only
treats blood tests, not patients even though they may have all the
classic signs and symptoms. Dr Myhill, supported by Craig Robinson,
shows us what those signs and symptoms are, all stemming from the
metabolism running slow, and what the problems with diagnostic
blood tests are that mean they cannot be relied on in isolation.
Advocating lifestyle measures, iodine and natural desiccated
thyroid where found to be necessary, the authors also show us the
consequences of untreated hypothyroidism at every stage of life and
why it is so important to take remedying the problem safely into
your own hands if your doctor won't give you the diagnosis and
treatment you need.
This life-changing book is based on the essential premise that
Modern Western Medicine, driven by vested interests, is failing to
address the root causes of disease processes. Symptom-suppressing
medication and poly-pharmacy are resulting in an escalation of
disease and a system of so-called 'health care' which is not
sustainable. In Sustainable Medicine, Dr Sarah Myhill aims to
empower people to heal themselves through addressing the underlying
causes of their diseases. She presents a logical progression from
symptoms to identifying the underlying mechanisms, to the relevant
interventions, tests and tools with which to tackle the root causes
of their symptoms.
Diabetes type 2 - which results from insensitivity to insulin - and
its precursor, metabolic syndrome, are reaching epidemic
proportions yet if the root causes can be addressed the condition
can be both prevented and reversed. Diabetes type 1 (autoimmune -
arising from insufficient insulin) is caused by other factors
(primary risk factors are dairy products, vitamin D deficiency and
vaccines) but is also more prevalent today than ever before. Dr
Myhill has long experience of helping her patients overcome
diabetes and related problems of uncontrolled blood sugar and low
energy; this informs her account of how and why burning fat rather
than carbs is healthier, more natural and more efficient, and how
the necessary 'metabolic flexibility' can be achieved. With the
support of her co-author Craig Robinson, she also addresses the
many other risk factors for diabetes, including environmental
toxins, drugs (prescribed, over-the-counter and illegal), medical
conditions and poor lifestyle choices, and how the multiple health
problems that follow from poorly controlled blood sugar levels can
be avoided.
Energy as a foundation of good health-how we can get it and keep it
Whether we are elite athletes, office workers, or students
struggling with assignments, we all need energy and can only
optimise our performance with optimal energy levels. And if our
energy demand exceeds our energy supply we eventually have to stop.
In her NHS and then independent medical practice, Dr Myhill has
increasingly specialised in helping patients with pathologically
low levels of energy. Through this she has learned of the
centrality of having sufficient energy to live well and stay
healthy, and of balancing energy generation with energy use. In
this, her simplest and most readable account of the fundamentals of
good health, supported by editor and former patient Craig Robinson,
Dr Myhill provides all we need to ensure the energy equation is
resolving in our favour.
For Dr Sarah Myhill, the practice of medicine is all about asking
the right questions - if you do not look you will not find - and
this applies to the causes of both chronic 21st-century health
problems and poor responses to acute infections. Ecological
Medicine is Dr Myhill's comprehensive guide to health care for
health practitioners and motivated patients alike - armed with this
knowledge, wellness and an optimal health-span should be within our
grasp and the grasp of all those we care for. Easy to follow,
logical and evidence based, Dr Myhill with the assistant of writer
and editor Craig Robinson, shows how, if we can get the basics
right, disease specific benefits will follow. She does not pretend
it's easy but the incentives are undeniable. A range of case
histories - organised by body system to match earlier chapters -
show how to apply the theory in this book to ourselves and to those
we care for, personally and/or professionally. Using principally a
spirit of enquiry together the PK diet, vitamin C, iodine, sleep
and exercise, ecological medicine can be available to all both
practically and affordably. Just do it!
Dr Sarah Myhill has been helping sufferers from debilitating
chronic conditions for over 30 years with an approach that combines
all the benefits of current scientific knowledge and medical
testing and treatments with an expanding appreciation of the
importance of nutrition and lifestyle. Her book with Craig
Robinson, Prevent and Cure Diabetes, saw her arrive at the
conclusion that the diet we should ALL be eating is one that
combines Paleo principles (eating pre-agricultural, seasonal foods)
with Ketogenic ones (fuel the body with fats and fibre, not with
carbs). That book tells us WHY; now in this down-to-earth, highly
practical cookbook, Sarah and Craig tell us HOW.
Say the authors: 'Modern Western life is eroding the physical,
mental, emotional and spiritual health of our children so seriously
that the very survival of our species is threatened. More children
than ever are fat and fatigued, learning disabled and emotionally
damaged and the responsibility lies with us. We are killing with
kindness in an attempt to provide a stress-free, safe environment
for our most loved. Green Mother is for those who want the best of
both worlds - to reap the advantages of modern Western life but
recognise and eschew its pitfalls. This book aims to give parents,
would-be parents, grandparents, siblings and all members of 'the
Tribe' that surround a new baby, the theoretical and intellectual
imperatives to tread this difficult path, together with the
practical day-to-day realities that must be overcome and the
encouragement to do so.'
Dr Myhill, ably supported by Craig Robinson, writes: `It is
generally believed that infection is a killer of the past. Wrong -
research now shows that our big killers, from cancers and
coronaries to dementia and diabetes are largely infection-driven.
Indeed, it is difficult to find a pathology that does not have an
infectious associate. Cheap and effective defences are within the
grasp of all of us. We have all the weapons we need to win the arms
race. Our new book provides the intellectual imperatives and
practical know-how to conquer the established, prevent the
potential and postpone the inevitable. Just do it!' The Infection
Game shows us how we can maximise our defences and martial our
weapons so that we are ready to defeat the infectious organisms we
encounter every day and in epidemic situations.
Mitochondria are the powerhouses of our cells, essential for the
production and management of energy at the cell level. Dr. Sarah
Myhill has spent years studying the relationship between
mitochondrial malfunction and one of the most common problems that
leads people to the doctor's office: fatigue. In Diagnosis and
Treatment of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Myalgic Encephalitis, Dr.
Myhill examines this essential role of our mitochondria in energy
production and why it is key to understanding and overcoming
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) and the inflammation that often
accompanies it: Myalgic Encephalitis (ME). She explains the
importance of healthy mitochondria, how we can assess how well they
are functioning, what we can do to keep them healthy, and how to
restore them to health if problems arise. Since publication of the
first edition in 2014, new research and new clinical findings have
shed further light on a condition that is debilitating to those who
suffer from it, but "all in the head" to many doctors. The second
edition of this groundbreaking book includes new insights and
chapters on why CFS/ME is the most poorly treated condition in
Western medicine, the role of the gut, allergy and autoimmunity,
Lyme disease and other coinfections, reprogramming the immune
system, reprogramming the brain, and the roadmap to recovery.
