"From infertility to aging to cancer and neurological disease, Dr. Lee Know will teach you that mitochondria play a central role in much that we care about in health and disease."—Stephanie Seneff, senior research scientist, MIT and author of Toxic Legacy With information for patients and practitioners on optimizing mitochondrial function for greater health and longevity Why do we age? Why does cancer develop? What's the connection between heart failure and Alzheimer's disease, or infertility and hearing loss? Can we extend lifespan, and if so, how? What is the Exercise Paradox? Why do antioxidant supplements sometimes do more harm than good? Many will be amazed to learn that all these questions, and many more, can be answered by a single point of discussion: mitochondria and bioenergetics. In Mitochondria and the Future of Medicine, Naturopathic Doctor Lee Know tells the epic story of mitochondria, the widely misunderstood and often-overlooked powerhouses of our cells. The legendary saga began over two billion years ago, when one bacterium entered another without being digested, which would evolve to create the first mitochondrion. Since then, for life to exist beyond single-celled bacteria, it's the mitochondria that have been responsible for this life-giving energy. By understanding how our mitochondria work, in fact, it is possible to add years to our lives, and life to our years. Current research, however, has revealed a dark side: many seemingly disconnected degenerative diseases have tangled roots in dysfunctional mitochondria. However, modern research has also endowed us with the knowledge on how to optimize its function, which is of critical importance to our health and longevity. Dr. Know offers cutting-edge information on supplementation and lifestyle changes for mitochondrial optimization and how to implement their use successfully, including: CoQ10 D-Ribose Cannabinoids Ketogenic dietary therapy and more! Mitochondria and the Future of Medicine is an invaluable resource for practitioners interested in mitochondrial medicine and the true roots of chronic illness and disease, as well as anyone interested in optimizing their health. "Dr. Lee Know does a brilliant job shedding light on this once ignored organelle and shows us how to care for our most important metabolic system."—Dr. Nasha Winters, co-author of The Metabolic Approach to Cancer

This is the fourth book about my life with Alzheimer’s. I have written these books to encourage people get the diagnosis made early in the course of the disease. My first neurologist asked me, "What difference does it make?” My diagnosis was made in December 2017, and I think it made all the difference in the world. In the year 1 book, I wrote about getting the diagnosis. In the year 2 book, I wrote about traveling with Alzheimer’s. In the year 3 book, I write about making a transition to more alternate medicine. The present year, the fourth book, I write about maintaining a good cognitive state without much deterioration. I believe each year is different and much more than just a diary. As a physician, I showed my long journey in educating myself and opening myself to new ideas. I hope this gives people with the diagnosis of Alzheimer’s hope and shows them different possibilities of approaching their diagnosis. Next, I will write year 5 of my saga.

The longevity of every individual worldwide has increased. As the average life span of a female is more than 70 years, a normal woman spends about 1/3rd life in the pre and post-menopause period. In every individual, irrespective of sex, ageing does deteriorate the function of the heart, brain and bones. In fact, it affects every organ of the body. Yoga helps to decrease anxiety, heart rate, and blood pressure and also to improve the vital capacity of the lungs. Yoga plays an important role in slowing down the ageing of the organs. Research has proved that as little as just eight weeks of yoga therapy starts showing positive outcomes. Many females had a normal menstrual cycle pattern following regular physical exercises and meditation, which otherwise was disturbed. Yoga affects the neuroendocrine system. It may help to increase the production of estrogen in females and testosterone in males, and improve the quality of life. Yoga can reduce emotional stress and help to cope with increased joint pain and limitation of movements of various joints and muscles. Doing yoga in groups also help to socialize and decrease cortisol level and increase endorphin level. Yoga helps improve our sleep too because doing yoga helps to increase melatonin levels which is essential for good quality and quantity of sleep. The earlier one starts the workouts the smoother the transition from adulthood to old age. The level of self-confidence and the ability to remain independent is directly proportional to the amount of discipline followed regarding diet, sleep, workouts, supplements, sexual activity and willingness to change for the better! This book not only deals with the total fitness of the body as a whole but also caters to individual groups of large muscles of the body needing rectification and targets even individual diseases. It is a great friend of a distressed and disturbed mind. A complete guide for fitness from adolescence to old age.

Smart metrics, slow thinking, off-label drugs, and a “Moneyball” prescription for fixing modern medicine--by the author of Tripping Over the Truth The United States is fast becoming the sickest nation in the Western world. Cancer rates continue to rise. There is an epidemic of chronic disease in children. Even with all the money and modern innovations in science, the country’s health care system is beyond broken. Clearly there is a glitch in the system. But what if the solution has been here all along, and we’ve just been too blind to see it? In Curable journalist and health care advocate Travis Christofferson looks at medicine through a magnifying glass and asks an important question: What if the roots of the current US health care crisis are psychological and systemic, perpetuated not just by corporate influence and the powers that be, but by you and me? It is now known that human perception is based on deeply entrenched patterns of irrational thought, which we attach ourselves to religiously. So how does this implicate the very scientific research and data that doctors rely on to successfully treat their patients? A page-turning inquiry into a “moneyball approach to medicine,” Curable explores the links between revolutionary baseball analytics; Nobel Prize–winning psychological research on confirmation bias; wildly successful maverick economic philosophy; the history of the radical mastectomy and the rise of the clinical trial; cutting edge treatments routinely overlooked by regulatory bodies; and outdated medical models that prioritize profit over prevention. As stark as things are, Christofferson asks us to see health care not as a toppling house of cards, but as a badly organized system that is inherently fixable. How do we fix it? First we must reframe the conflict between doctors’ intuition and statistical data. Then we must design better systems that can support doctors who are increasingly overwhelmed with the complexity of modern medicine. Curable outlines the future of medicine, detailing brilliant examples of new health care systems that prove we can do better. It turns out we have more control over our health (and happiness) than we think.

This is my third book in a series of diary type entries about the progress of my Alzheimer’s disease since December 2017 when it was first diagnosed. I have changed my opinions about doing better with nostrums and vitamins. There is no cure. One reason I changed my mind is that I have done so well during the third year. I do believe Namzaric, getting cholesterol and blood pressure low with medicine is key to preventing stroke and a sudden decline in mentation. I published my lab results which I usually get every three months. My next book will be titled: Alzheimer’s is Inexorable. Year Four. Let’s see if my title is premature.
