Book Description

Best-selling author, David Reuben. M.D., tells you the one simple change you can make in your diet that will give you medically-proven protection against colon and rectal cancer, heart attacks, appendicitis, diverticulosis, hemorrhoids, constipation and other diseases of "civilization". This book guides you step-by-step in the easy and appetizing process of making your diet your shield against the disease. In this history-making explanation of the high-fiber diet, Dr. Reuben has brought good health and long life to millions of Americans. For decades Medical Science was puzzled by the fact that Black Africans seemed to be "immune" from cancer of the colon and heart attacks...and several other terrible diseases. They almost never came down with either of these 2 "killer diseases". Among Black Africans hardly anyone gets colon cancer...much less dies from it. But in the U.S. 140,000 people get colon cancer every year - and 50,000 of them die from it. Among Black Africans hardly anyone gets a heart attack...much less dies from it. Every year 720,000 Americans have a heart attack and 380,000 of them die. What's the difference? For centuries, no one knew. But about 50 years ago two brilliant English physicians made an amazing discovery. They realized that there was one tiny overlooked difference between the African diet and the American/European. One single apparently insignificant ingredient was sparing the lives of the Africans and killing millions of Americans and Europeans. That ingredient - with a cost so low it could hardly be measured - was dietary fiber! Black Africans living in the villages consumed a diet with large amounts of "roughage" or dietary fiber. They ate things like beans, corn meal, bananas, potatoes, yams, etc. They ate very little meat and virtually no processed food. Their fiber intake was high. Americans and Europeans eat a lot of meat and few vegetables...and the food that should contain fiber like bread and rice, is over-refined and has most of the fiber taken out of it. Those are the bare details. But The Save-Your-Life-Diet takes over from there and explains in detail exactly the steps you can take to protect yourself and your family from deadly colon/rectal cancer as well as: Heart Attacks (Myocardial Infarcts) Blood clots in the legs spreading to the lungs (phlebitis to pulmonary embolism) Appendicitis Constipation Diverticular disease (diverticulosis and diverticulitis) Irritable bowel syndrome Hemorrhoids Varicose veins High levels of serum cholesterol Obesity High blood pressure The recommendations of The Save-Your-Life-Diet present the latest proven and confirmed scientific evidence in a simple easy-to-read, easy-to-apply manner that can give you and your family real protection from these terrible and deadly diseases. And the cost? About fifteen cents per day. This is the one book that can make a really and truly change your life - and the lives of your family -- for the better. By the time you finish reading it you will have a tremendous sense of relief and new power to prolong your life.
