The Wheel of Health

Why not research health as well as disease?To Dr Guy Wrench it is more interesting to know why we are not as healthy as we should be than it is to ask why we are as diseased as we are. If we can just be healthy disease is not an issue.Not surprisingly he had difficulty in finding people in whom he could study health as both a natural and dominant characteristic but finally he found the group of people his study needed - in the tribe of the Hunza in Northern Pakistan.The very place itself is fascinating lying hidden high up in one of the tremendous valleys among the great mountains separating Pakistan from China and Russia.The Hunza were people were renowned for their extraordinary physique and health which Dr Wrench found by the fact that their food was not made sophisticated by the artificial processes applied by modern processed food. How these processes affect our food is dealt with in great detail in this book.The answer that Dr Wrench uncovered in his researches goes deeper than just the food though. The answer lies in what was special about the Hunzas water supply.Contents1 - The Hunza People 2 - A Revolution in Outlook 3 - The Shift to Experimental Science 4 - The Start 5 - Continuity and Heredity 6 - Other Whole-diet Experiments 7 - Fragmentation 8 - The Cause of Disease 9 - The Hunza Food 10 - The Cultivation of Hunza Food 11 - Progress by Return 12 - An Experiment
