Epi-paleo Rx: The Prescription for Disease Reversal and Optimal Health

Good information and interesting to read.

If you do not know why you need to be earthed go look it up.We all need to be earthed. All animals (that includes humans) are designed to be earthed. Connected to the ground conductively, without barriers. Naturally and electronically earthed. Our feet touching the soil.Electric does not sound natural but we are electrical. We are conductive and live by the use of electrons. They are an essential component of our cells.Through the history of mankind, we have been in contact with the ground in a way that allows us to receive electrons from the planet. A natural action that takes place in animals and plants all day, everyday. Our bodies expect it.These electrons are essential to allow our mitochondria to receive replenishment and perform correctly. Mitochondria are the powerhouse, the start of the process of living. Poor function leads to dysfunctional body.We are the only animal now not in contact with the ground (apart from those we have domesticated or put in some sort of artificial cage, like we have done to ourselves, to live with us and like us.).Even birds land back on a tree and are again earthed.We wear rubber soled shoes on plastic, laminate or other artificial flooring. This isolates us from the ground. We are mostly un-earthed.Even the shoes we wore in the past, when we were not bare foot, were leather. These, once moist, become conductive, allowing us to be replenished with electrons from the Earth. We stood on the natural ground with the sun on our face.We are evolutionary based, like plants, trees and every other animal. We need our feet in the soil and the sun on our faces.Natural, as expected. We have not out evolved this.This removal from the earth has taken place only recently, over the last 50 to 80 years. A blip in the evolutionary timeline. Our bodies have not adapted.Modern materials and living coincides with all the inflammatory based diseases common amongst modern lifestyles; heart disease, cancer, diabetes and many others.Earthing at night during your sleep is the easiest way to make up your lack of contact with the ground and for the longest period of your day.Earth yourself naturally outside in the sunshine as much as possible.In addition, earthing yourself conducts the unnatural electro magnetic fields in your nearby appliances such as chargers, and electric heaters away from you and lessons the harm from these induced inductive appliances.All of this information is available in studies that will soon become mainstream and everyday knowledge.Along with earthing, blue light reduction after sunset, the food production problem, the drug industry issue and other important life changing information is available in this book.Some further references:Dr Jack KruseDr J MercolaClint Ober

This book makes so much sense and offers and great tool for controlling inflammation. There were a lot of typos though, hence the slightly lower rating. But top marks for the content itself.

An interesting book to read for those interested to own their health instead of outsourcing to the medical profession. As the author said, he's sharing information so that readers don't need their profession, a very generous act. Some parts of the book could be difficult for readers without biology training, but it's still ok if one keeps the curiosity going. The author could have intentionally gross over some concepts occasionally, but not a big deal, readers should not expect to understand 100% on first reading. I like chapter 13 the most which is on the author's personal journey to discovery, which was like reading a detective story, yet it's on a subject so profound to humans. The best books are those that keep the readers curious for more. I'm on my journey to the next book now.

Jack is one of the brightest and most forward thinking minds on the planet for all things health and wellness. His book is a great resource for anyone looking to improve their health and I would highly recommend his Patreon blog also.Light, water and magnetism are the 3 most under appreciated and important influences on human health. If you are in any way curious about this, grab a copy - you won’t regret it.

A truly eye opening book. If one wants optimal health, there needs to be a radical overhaul of the way that one lives. We humans have got it all wrong. And scarily it is costing us our lives!! We need more Doctors like Dr Jack Kruse, who cut through the bullsh*t, and tell us the TRUTH. Our food, lifestyle, lack of natural light, and ALL our mod cons are killing us. Keep up the good work Dr Jack. x

This book covers so many different aspects of health and goes into real depth but in a way that's easy to read. It's unlike any other book I've read. Other Paleo books just seem to have all the usual "fluff" in them I've read a million times before. My Mum lost 40lbs in a matter of months using this diet and my premenstrual zits/mentrual cramps are now no longer a problem. My only complaint is that there isn't a glossary, my boyfriend kept having to ask me what things like DHEA meant.

Great book. Dr. Jack K is right out in the deep waters and this can be hard to follow but there is valuable information within that can help you form a good picture of what is what health and diet-wise. Worth adding to your reading list if you are a inclined.

In this book, Dr. Kruse reconstructs the biochemical and endocrinological foundations of the causes and factors that influence "civilization's diseases". You can agree or not with some of his conclusions, but I think it's very difficult to contradict the bulk of his statements, since they're derived from standard academic research, as well as from his own clinical experience. He has done a great work of synthesizing and reorganizing an impressive amount of information. Thanks, Dr. Kruse!

Great read. An eye opener.Most of us have been educated from a bio-chemist perspective (food/supplements).In this book you start to learn the importance of photo-electric current in our body as the main drive, how to optimize this through circadian biology.

I've spent a long time discussing and reading Jack Kruse's work over the last month. This book is a solid first step and then you can join his Patreon to get even more insight. I've gone into Jack's work skeptical, as that's how I am by default, but the science is solid and I've seen improvements in our life.My wife has rosacea and we are currently working on improving that. There were some obvious causes, completely missed by the dermatologist, that Jack has opened our eyes to. For example, she hasn't has sunlight on her face in about 15 years (wearing make-up). But that realization wouldn't have even surfaced if Jack hadn't taught us about how important light is. Jack literally says "Rosacea bio hack: A lack of UV light and not enough red light."So let's expand on this. The dermatologist has told us there's no cure, and to just use this steroid cream. My wife has used the cream, and kept it under control, but certain things would lead to flare ups. We're now a few weeks into AM sunlight, along with UV exposure on the body (she's gradually increasing this as her solar callus builds, read Jack's work to understand what a solar callus is, along with the science behind it) and she said to me last night that her skin is starting to look better. We've bought an infrared lamp too, as a supplementary measure too. Her rosacea didn't start to surface until around 10 years into depriving her skin of sunlight, which really shows you how resistant the skin is. But here's something else that's interesting. She wears contact lenses, never glasses, and her retina is never exposed to the sunlight. Does this cause issues? Is this why she has gut issues? Is this affecting POMC? I don't know the answers, I am still learning, but Jack's work has challenged me to think for myself. Jack will tell you what you need to hear, sure, but the best part is that he'll teach you how to go off and research yourself. This has been great for my engineering brain that's desperate to understand all the workings.Last night we were discussing my wife's skin headache, along with her friends' stories, and she was frustrated that dermatologists don't know this or aren't pushing us to use nature to heal. I told her that the dermatologists would make no money if they told everyone the truth.

One of the most important health books of our time. And the best part, it’s easy and free to implement. The science may be complex, but the actions required are not.

Dr. Kruse ist auf dem Paleo Sektor bekannt und seine Programme z.B. Cold Thermogenesis viel diskutiert und umstritten. Dennoch empfinde ich sein Buch als Bereicherung, selbst wenn es teilweise kompliziert zu verstehen ist. Und zwar nicht deshalb, weil er sich so kompliziert ausdrückt sondern wegen der Tiefe seiner Argumentation, da geht es richtig ans biologisch "Eingemachte".Seine Verordnungen um bestimmte Gesundheitsprobleme zu lösen (Leptinresistenz, Übergewicht, Autoimmunkrankheiten etc.) sind sehr interessant und ich habe einiges davon in meinen Plan eingebaut, mit eigenen Modifikationen versteht sich.Ich empfehle dieses Buch für alle, die folgende Aussagen mit "Ja" bestätigen würdenDein Englisch ist sehr sehr gutDu interessierst Dich stark für biologische ZusammenhängeDu rennst nicht weg wenn jemand "Arztsprache" auspacktDu bist bereit, Dich in Themen weiter einzuarbeiten, um sie zu verstehenMöglicherweise ist das Buch für richtiges Fachpersonal durchaus auch als leichte Abendlektüre geeignet, für mich war es "harte" Arbeit oder zumindest konzentrierte Arbeit, mich da durchzuwuseln. Das hat aber auch viel Spaß gemacht und viele neue Denkansätze gebracht, deshalb wertschätze ich Dr. Kruses Werk sehr und habe einen großen Nutzen davon.Wer eine leichte Lektüre sucht, der kann "It starts with food" von den Hartwigs lesen, es ist zwar nicht genau vergleichbar - aber es wird absolut auch gut funktionieren und ist wirklich leicht und verständlich geschrieben.
