Synopsis
According to Dr. Balch, modern medicine is slowly abandoning "germ theory" in favor of a systems-based theory, or "whole" theory. This new approach sees illness not as the result of foreign bacteria in the body but as the result of systemic imbalances which cause benign elements to turn toxic. These imbalances are generally reversible, caused by stress, pollution, anxiety, poor diet, or lack of exercise. The main systemic imbalance concerns free radicals, which are the leftovers from the molecular process that turns oxygen into energy. These free radicals are usually absorbed or eliminated naturally, but due to the aforementioned causes of imbalance, special consideration may need to be taken. Balch discusses a wide range of supplements specifying specific agents which he recommends and how to combine them for the best results. Those coming to the subject for the first time will likely be intrigued and amused by Balch's reassuring, folksy writing style.
