Jake Anthony

The driving force behind this series of publications was born in England, just one year into World War Two. People dying not in combat but from health problems relating to lifestyle, including his own parents,was the life-amending catalyst which launched Jake Anthony’s lifelong interest in health, fitness and life extension - and a search for answers. A wish to become a professional actor and writer was fulfilled through hard work and dedication against the odds, and Jake Anthony obtained a degree of ‘celebrity’ over the years. His work as a character actor can still be seen on TV from time to time. 4

Another life-amending incident occurred when his extremely fit and healthy actor and stunt man son, died from an interaction between prescribed drugs. Like ‘Lord Jim’ - Joseph Conrad’s character in the book and movie - Jake left his homeland and wandered the Orient for 20 plus years trying to make sense of it all. This was interrupted by a series of health disasters at the hands of the allopathic medical system in the West which would have killed most people. Ironically, they were initiated by prescribed drugs that were supposed to cure, not kill. This was added to by the Western system of treating the symptom rather than fully identifying the cause. Jake’s series of the potential lifestyle based killers included cancer, crisis level hypertension, borderline type-2 diabetes, acute and chronic pancreatitis, and gallstones. As prescribed drugs had initiated his series of interlinked health disasters - and time after time exacerbated them - Jake turned his back on the Western medical system and from then on utilised nutritional, holistic and alternative therapies known about for thousands of years in the Orient and the East. His host of ailments regressed or were controlled, and extra decades of life were obtained. The use of holistic and alternative therapies, almost certainly played a part in his survival. The ‘How To’ and ‘Why’ are detailed in this series of books. Jake’s fit and youthful appearance belies the fact that he is technically a senior citizen, well over the age of retirement. Knowledge is power. Your choice. 5

Foreword Modern medicine has made great technical progress in the science of diagnostics. An ailment can now be diagnosed with greater accuracy and speed than ever before. However, the allopathic medical community has not particularly made great strides in the prevention and cure of disabling and deadly diseases. In fact the reverse has occurred, and AIDS, cancer, diabetes, stroke, heart attack and many others have reached epidemic proportions. As to more common place everyday ailments, not much progress has been made here either. In fact, many would say that since Big Pharma has dominated the medical scene during the last fifty years or so in the West, the average person is less fit and healthy. This is basically because the whole person is not usually taken into account. All too often the symptom is targeted rather than the cause. When healing does takes place utilising modern medicine, often the suspicion lingers that nature took its course - as against the efficacy of the often expensive medicine which the doctor prescribed. That is probably the most fundamental difference between conventional medicine and naturopathic alternatives: Modern medicine more often treats the symptom; naturopathic procedures treat the cause. Where success is achieved in treating the cause, the symptoms are automatically taken care of. Simple, effective, but not profitable for Big Pharma. Diabetes, stroke, heart attack, and immune system related ailments such as cancer and AIDS, are predominately lifestyle based killer diseases. 12

Hypertension (high blood pressure), influenza, gallstones, prostate problems, kidney disease and liver disease are additional contenders as lifestyle killer diseases. Although rarely a killer, there is also the crippling condition known as rheumatoid arthritis, which can make life painfully unbearable. Other than individuals predisposed to these ailments through genetically inherited factors, we increase the risk of suffering from them due to components in our environment and lifestyle. Poor nutrition emanating from junk food restaurants, highly processed supermarket foods, transfat and salt in almost everything, and sugar based drinks - in effect, dead food - has helped create a world of people in extremely poor health. This has resulted in an overwhelmed health system which is coming close to bankrupting many nations. To that must be added the individual cost in pain, suffering and impaired personal capacity to enjoy the pleasures of a healthy life. However, drugs and vaccines are almost certainly not the key to getting your life back. In fact, considerable evidence suggests that they are part of the problem, not the cure. Big Pharma has not been our friend. Yet the solution is quite simple, and is based on the principles of traditional Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine, of prevention being better than cure. That requires two components: Knowledge and selfdiscipline. This series of Holistic Mini-Guides will hopefully supply some of the knowledge. Take back your life.

DOCTORS CAN BE BAD FOR YOUR HEALTH - THE PROOF When doctors in Israel went on strike in 2000, the death rate plummeted by nearly 40%. But that’s not an isolated example, as in 1973, Israeli doctors went on strike for 4 weeks and deaths fell by a staggering 50% during that month. The same happened in Los Angeles in 1976, which saw an 18% decline in deaths during industrial action by doctors. When the strike ended, the death rate returned to the usual higher levels. It also happened in Bogota in 1972. Doctors withdrew all treatments apart from emergency care, and mortality rates went down by 35%. As one Chicago MD put it, way back in 1979: “If doctors reduced their involvement with people and only attended emergencies, there’s no doubt we’d be better off.” There is also the fact that medical errors account for an estimated 40,000 deaths each year in the UK alone, becoming Britain’s third biggest killer behind cancer and heart disease. Plus, serious reactions to prescription drugs are believed to be responsible for a further 250,000 Britons being hospitalised each year. There are many dedicated people in the British medical system, but overall the state run NHS should carry a Government Health Warning! The medical profession has made superb advances in diagnostic techniques and equipment, and finding out what is actually wrong with us has become a fast and accurate science. However, treatments from Big Pharma have become less effective than traditional remedies. Antibiotics, drugs and vaccines quickly lose their effectiveness and have a wide range of adverse side-effects, often as bad or worse 25

than each disease they are meant to cure. But you do not have to be victim of such negligence and insanity, as our health and wellbeing is predominately maintained by way of lifestyle factors, all of which can help prevent, treat and even cure, almost every ailment and disease on the planet. They also do it far more safely and cheaply, which this author can personally verify. But that’s the thrust of this mini-guide, so read on. DISEASE MONGERING All of us have probably had cancer many times in our lives. If our defence mechanisms are functioning normally, the body kills off the cancer cells and we are never aware that it happened. If there is a breakdown in our defence mechanisms when cancer cells appear, there is nothing to prevent the growth of those cancer cells and soon there is a tumour. There is an epidemic of obesity, diabetes, heart disease, cancer and immune deficiency related diseases in the world at large. Further, despite virtually compulsory regimes of vaccine protocols in the West - which were supposed to completely eliminate disease for all time, but which have not - young people are not healthier but less so than previous generations. They are suffering from diabetes in frightening numbers and a wide range of allergy complaints ranging from asthma to eczema to autism, and many more. Even cancer is now affecting young people. Statistics also confirm that current generations have a lower general immunity to all diseases than previous generations - most of whom including this author, received absolutely no vaccines against anything. In an age where Big-Pharma, the allopathic medical 26

However, I am not alone in the world and perhaps others from every generation can make more informed choices, based on research carried out by the world’s finest minds in every discipline, interpreted using this author’s decades of ‘beating the odds’ experience using holistic and alternative therapies.
