Reverse the Cause - Kevin Reese
This book was great!
For the past few years I have been working with @Dr.Reese, and he has expanded my view of the root causes of many diseases.
At first I was merely amused at the idea that “posture” could have anything to do with a chronic disease. If anything, I figured that posture would be a consequence of an unhealthy body, not a cause of it.
This book attempts to outline the root causes of many different diseases, in a very simple and easily understandable way. Dr. Reese has three pillars that cause or contribute to most diseases - nutrition, posture, and the mind. Many problems that I would have thought were purely nutritional, also have an explanation as to how posture could contribute.
Posture isn’t just standing or sitting up straight, it is how muscles move bones, and if bones are out of place then nerves and organs can be too. Blood and lymph and oxygen flow can be affected, pains and growths can be created, all by posture problems.
The book isn’t all about posture, but that was the main benefit I got from it. Connecting all three pillars to almost every problem in the book makes his theory seem much more robust than books that just focus on one pillar as the main cause of everything - I am guilty of this.
As a negative, the book is repetitive. Reese says this is on purpose - as you read each section you will understand, through repetition, how the same root causes contribute again and again to different problems. I didn’t mind the repetition because it felt drilled into me by the end.
Disclaimer: I do work with @Dr.Reese and I do get a cut of the profits from this book. If I didn’t like the book I probably just wouldn’t review it, but Reese genuinely has a gift for making complex ideas simple, and his three pillar system was compelling enough for me to formally join him in business. I have known for years that he got generally better results than me, and it was obvious why - targeting three roots instead of one is clearly going to work better.
I recommend this book.
