When it comes to health, few people and their insurance companies are willing to pay for that prevention (with either money or effort), which is unfortunate, because it is often dramatically cheaper than treating the subsequent diseases, if they can be treated at all. Thus we have a "disease care system" rather than a "health care system." We all want a long life with compressed morbidity. That is to say, we want to be healthy for our entire lives until the very end. Nobody wants ten years of dementia before they pass. Nobody wants to be disabled for decades. Real health care, i.e. prevention, doesn't just give you more years, it makes the years you have better. Following Dr. Williamson's advice in this book will teach you how to delay and even completely avoid many health conditions you never want to have. Prevention is often simple, but rarely easy. Use this guide to help make it as easy as possible." —James M.
