Answers from the Gut: Increasing Health and Longevity

This Second Edition includes a life changing event that occurred with John Chalmers that anyone with a chronic disease should read. Every day felt like torture to John Chalmers. Always ill through childhood, John knew chronic sickness well. Debilitating allergies, asthma, arthritis, bowel distress and undiagnosed sicknesses led his doctors to encourage him to see psychiatrists when they couldn't find the problem. After a near-death experience, John was finally diagnosed with Crohn’s disease, but the medications sent him down a path in which deteriorating health continued. Frustrated with the medical community, John set out to do his own research to recover and achieve good health. This book chronicles that journey and talks about different diets that changed his life such as the Specific Carbohydrate Diet. The Ketogenic Diet, Lutz diet, Paleo Diet, Atkins diet and others are discussed. By reading this book, you can learn how you can improve your health and increase your life span by following a health plan for life.
