We’ve all been conditioned to believe that achieving health, leanness and
longevity is a difficult, expen- sive, frustrating and elusive lifelong struggle. It
can be, unless you simply give your body what it really
needs in the first place.

I dedicate this book to you, my children, be - cause you were my inspiration to
create it. You’ve changed my life for the better in ways you may never know and
I cannot imagine go-ing through life without you. I hope this information keeps
you and your future families happy, healthy, lean and long-lived.
Love, Dad
Acknowledgements
My goal in researching this information was never to write a book. Once my
children suggested it, part of me cringed because I never thought I was a
particularly good writer and the thought of doing a “brain dump” of all the
relevant information I learned during a 20 year period seemed astonishingly
difficult to me. But little by little things began to fall in place, in large part with
the help and encouragement of a number of people. First, my wife Kelly who
shouldered more than her fair share of what it takes to run a household during
the past seven months so that I could organize my thoughts and write in relative
peace-and-quiet. Her love, encouragement and belief in my ability to complete
this project far exceeded my own and powered me through those times when I
could have given up. My two wonderful sister-inlaws who, despite their hectic
schedules with their own families, made time to review whatever I asked them to
so I could obtain their fresh perspective. My editors and creative geniuses Martin
and Colin who worked tirelessly and patiently to meet my deadlines. And to
everyone else who helped my family and I through challenging or important
times in our lives. Thank you all immensely.

Foreword
After my father and brother both died of cancer just three years apart 20 years
ago, I began an impassioned quest to learn the keys to health so my new family
would never suffer their fate.
Since then, I’ve read hundreds of health books, spent thousands of hours
researching on the internet, heavily experimented on myself with many different
diets, products and supplements trying to figure out the “difference that makes
the difference” so getting healthy, lean and long-lived could be achieved easily
and inexpensively for my family. I kept the best information I found in a file on
my computer called Advice For My Children.
As I began to make sense of things, my family would discuss my findings
around the dinner table. Questions from my children would often inspire further
research. Then one night my children suggested I write a book about everything
they were taught because “Dad, lots of other people could benefit from this
information also.” So I began the journey to take all the information I learned
from many different sources over the years and compressed it into a single book
that contains everything you need and that anyone can understand and benefit
from.
I am certain you will be incredibly shocked at how little you need to do to
achieve your health goals. There is no “pain” of any kind involved—no dieting,
strenuous exercising, special foods, expensive supplements or time consuming
rituals. There are no tricks or gimmicks. You just do what is completely natural.
Although you need to do very little, you do need to do something very basic
each day. Quite frankly, it’s so amazingly easy and inexpensive it’s almost
laughable.
Once you give your body what it really needs, virtually all of your issues will
“self-correct” because that’s what your body is designed to do…your weight will
normalize, your energy will soar, stress levels will plummet, pain will disappear,
you will eat normally, you will sleep better, your hair may return to its natural
color, your skin will become tighter, your body will become leaner… all because
you are giving your body the absolute foundation of what it needs.
I now believe what natural health experts believe—that 85% or more of the
chronic health, weight and aging issues that plague Americans today can be
eliminated easily and inexpensively. That’s why my family wanted to share this
information with everyone.
