On average, one out of every two people dies from preventable diseases, and one out of every two people has high homocysteine levels. Which one are you? From latent life-threatening conditions to the best state of health in just two months! H stands for homocysteine, a toxin produced by the human body. H-value is the best indicator of whether we will live a healthy, long life or die prematurely. High homocysteine levels are a more dangerous trigger for heart disease than cholesterol. Additionally, high homocysteine is directly linked to over 100 diseases, including: Alzheimer's disease, arthritis, cancer, chronic fatigue syndrome, depression, diabetes, heart pain, heart disease, infertility, obesity, obstetric diseases, rapid aging, stroke, thyroid disease, and ulcers. H represents health. You can lower your body's H-value, miraculously increasing your chances of health and longevity, and all within just two months! In this groundbreaking book, medical expert Dr. James Braly and top nutritionist Patrick Holford team up to reveal: Which groups are at higher risk and how to test your H-value at home. 10 simple recipes and supplementation plans to ensure your H-value drops. A miraculous and highly effective two-month plan to keep you free from disease pain. This book introduces you to a unique discovery that has swept the medical community into a new storm. Today, when you open any medical journal, you will find content about homocysteine (Homocysteine). Homocysteine is a substance with distinct characteristics, like a chemical crystal ball, accurately reflecting everything we should do to achieve future health. In this book, you will discover that most people's H-values are around 11, and you can measure your H-value at home with a simple tool. Perhaps out of every 10 people who read this book, two will have super healthy conditions, with scores below 6, while two may have extremely unhealthy conditions, with scores above 15.
