Here are the three best books that I've read in the last 12 months?

HEALING WITHOUT FREUD OR PROZAC

David Servan Schreiber

This is probably the best book I've read on the topic of depression. It's a thoughtful, well-researched down to earth, commonsense approach to what you can do to recognise and then treat the symptoms of depression.

Although written by a trick cyclist it's definitely not rocket science.

According to Servan-Schreiber, exercise, nutrition, the ability to get your autonomic nervous system ticking over nicely and cognitive therapy stand head and shoulders over medication up at the depression front line.

The epidemic of depression will continue to escalate at the same rate as the epidemic of dysfunction in all other body systems - unless people start to keep themselves fit and healthy and do the things that fit and healthy people do to keep themselves in good shape.

The foundation of a good mental health strategy is a good health and fitness strategy.

OVERDOSED AMERICA

John Abrahamson

If you want to know what swifties the junk medical and pharmaceutical industries are pulling on you and your country, you must read this book. John Abrahamson, a doctor himself, working out of the Harvard workshop for the academically gifted has written a well- researched, hard-nosed, no holds barred, no-punches-pulled, no nonsense look at how pharmaceutical companies have perverted the course of good health in the last couple of decades of the 20th century.

Thank God we're now seeing a flood of books and articles exposing junk medicine for what it is, a dreadful, costly, iatrogenic fraud. Read this book and then join the increasing number of people who are choosing to keep themselves fit and healthy rather than dosing themselves up on junk pharmaceuticals.

WHAT YOUR DOCTOR DOESN'T KNOW ABOUT NUTRITIONAL MEDICINE MAY BE KILLING YOU

Ray Strand.

It's a strange state of affairs, that after all their training, doctors are unable to diagnose dietary insufficiency.

Vets are much better at it and their patients can't even tell them how they feel? Practitioners of natural and traditional Chinese medicine also have a much better handle on the causes of many common body system dysfunctions and the relation the dysfunctions have to either a deficiency or excess of certain nutrients.

Medical practitioner, Ray Strand's wife was crook with chronic fatigue. He was unable to diagnose the cause of the problem and the prescriptions he doled out weren't making her better. (Sound familiar?) She kept getting worse.

It was a friend of his wife who suggested a nutritional supplement, and after a short time, health was restored and the rest, as they say, is history. Friend '1' doctor 'nil'.

Strand put on his thinking cap and, as a result has produced a book that makes eminent good sense and spends his time giving lectures on the vitamins and minerals we need to be taking to reduce oxidative stress in our bodies. It's his belief that it's oxidative stress that's causing many body system dysfunctions. It's something you ought to bone up on.

I read elsewhere that a toxic body (from all the poisons we ingest), a body that's too acidic, a body harbouring all manner of fungi, and a body that's intolerant of some of the widely available foods is the cause of all manner of body system dysfunctions. I think that's probably right too.

This is one of the best books I read in 2005. A lady at a seminar suggested I buy it. I'm glad I did and I encourage you to rush out and buy it as well.

The dieticians and doctors think this is all baloney, holding sacred the position that if you eat the perfect diet you'll get enough vitamins and minerals food to keep you in good health. Well that's bunkum and you know it's bunkum. I'll prove it to you.

1.	Hands up all those who eat the perfect diet?

2.	Hands up all those who think their food contains all the essential nutrients in just the right amounts to keep them healthy?

Buy this book. It will put you on the right track to keeping yourself fit and healthy.
