Written by Gene Stone, a bestselling health-savvy journalist
who’s investigated, firsthand, virtually every form of
regimen, diagnostic test, therapy, and fad, The Secrets of
People Who Never Get Sick, a fascinating and original book
of science, tells the stories of 25 people who each possess
a different secret of excellent health—and shows how we can
all use these insights to change our lives for the better. Meet Bill Thompson, an entrepreneur in his early sixties who
has the EKG of a 20-year-old and hasn’t had a cold in over
two decades Bill’s secret? Every morning he dunks his head
in a basin of warm water and hydrogen peroxide, a powerful
natural germ killer that has the added benefit of making
Bill feel as invigorated as a teenager when he comes up for
air. Meet Dr Robert Fulford, whom Andrew Weil considered one
of the world’s greatest healers, and who, even into his
nineties, continued to see patients and was healthier than
most people half his age. His secret: a daily set of
stretching exercises that he claims stimulate the body’s
life force, a force too easily blunted by illness, trauma,
and even bad breathing habits. Meet Barbara Pritzkat, a now
83-year-old archaeologist with incredible stamina and
health, who attributes her well-being to a morning tonic of
brewer’s yeast—a treasure trove of B vitamins that’s also
protein-rich and a good source of selenium, copper, iron,
zinc, and other minerals. The stories make it personal; then comes the science, the
authority (with experts’ conflicting opinions on if and how
it really works), and the nuts and bolts—how to bring each
secret into your own life. From probiotics to veganism to a
daily dose of garlic, from yoga to cold showers, it’s an
invaluable list: 25 secrets to health, and how to make each
work for you.
