| DOCTOR'S HEART CURE, BEYOND THE MODERN MYTHS OF DIET & EXERCISE : The Clinically-Proven Plan of Breakthrough Health Secrets That Helps You Build a Powerful, Disease-Free Heart [Al Sears] Would you like to save yourself the indignity, inconvenience and foul taste of modern diet fads? Are you sick and tired of frittering away your money on heart medications that leave you feeling more wretched than ever? Do you spend frequent, precious hours jogging or pounding away at the gym? And despite all of this effort, are you still fatter and weaker than you want to be? Then it’s time to abandon the Modern Gospel of low-fat food and long-duration exercise as a path to heart health. Your heart’s salvation lies in reengineering the diet and exercise habits of our hunter-gatherer ancestors to fit our modern culture. What does this entail? To build a strong and resilient heart, engage in brief, explosive bouts of intense exercise. Consume a diet rich in high quality fat, pasture-fed meat, free-range dairy, wild-caught fish and liberal helpings of low-glycemic fruits and vegetables. Avoid grain-based starches as best you can. And take appropriate supplements to counteract the nutritional deficiencies of modern produce. Dr Sears has used this plan to help over 15,000 patients successfully reverse heart disease, build stronger hearts, manage their weight and abandon their heart medications. In 'The Doctor’s Heart Cure', for the first time, Dr Sears reveals his entire, proven programme, so you too can safely build an impregnable heart. { 278pp, 155x230mm, December 2004; PB, £14.99, 0938045652:9780938045656 , Midpoint Trade Books (Dragon Door Publications) } |

| FOR YOUR BODY ONLY : Discover the Diet You Were Born to Eat [Dr Gregory H Tefft] Have you ever wondered why a new diet is invented almost every other day, yet obesity levels and disease in this country remain at an all-time high? Have you wondered why the diet that works so well for your friend has no impact on you -- or even makes you worse? Have you tried all kinds of supplements, with no real idea if they ever helped you? Are you confused by the competing claims and 'research' of the nutritional gurus-of-the-moment? Is there such a thing as the perfect diet -- for you or anyone else? Is perfect daily health a pipedream -- or a practical possibility? Can you really discover your individual 'genetic-password' -- and possess a lifetime passport to super-health? Until now, the honest answer would have been NO! Because until now, there has been no truly scientific testing system available to accurately measure your true dietary needs. This book offers you an escape from the guesswork, confusion, and risk of these one-size-fits-all diets. Scientific research now shows conclusively that each individual's genetic structure is unique -- and has unique dietary needs. { 420pp, 155x230mm, May 2002; HB, £18.50, 0938045415:9780938045410 , Midpoint Trade Books (Dragon Door Publications) } |

| PURPOSEFUL PRIMITIVE : From Fat & Flaccid to lean & Powerful-Using the Primordial Laws of Fitness to Trigger Inevitable [Marty Gallagher] Executed with the requisite tenacity, intensity and precision, Purposefully Primitive methods can and will favourably alter the compositional makeup of the human body. Primitive tools and simple modes are used to power sparse methods. We force the body to favourably reconfigure itself by generating physical and psychological fierceness during training. Commonsense nutritional strategies and Old School training tactics are synchronised and placed within a periodised timeframe.The three interrelated Purposefully Primitive disciplines (weight training, cardiovascular training and nutrition) need to be regularly and routinely practised in a balanced and proportional fashion. Lock down all aspects of the program and within seven days of full implementation tangible results appear; by the end of the first month, body composition (the fat-to-muscle ratio) undergoes a dramatic turnaround; those who commit completely for 90 days undergo a total metamorphosis. No matter how deep a physical hole you are currently standing in, 90 days of maniacal discipline and teeth-gritting effort will enable you to utterly and completely change the shape, texture, efficiency and hardness of your body. { 496pp, 215x270mm, June 2008; PB, £26.99, 0938045717:9780938045717 , Midpoint Trade Books (Dragon Door Publications) } |
