Description

Sustainable Medicine is based on the premise that twenty-first century Western medicine—driven by vested interests—is failing to address the root causes of disease. Symptom-suppressing medication and “polypharmacy” have resulted in an escalation of disease and a system of so-called “health care,” which more closely resembles “disease care.”

In this essential book, Dr. Sarah Myhill aims to empower people to heal themselves by addressing the underlying causes of their illness. She presents a logical progression from identifying symptoms, to understanding the underlying mechanisms, to relevant interventions and tests and tools with which to tackle the root causes. As Myhill writes, “It’s all about asking the question ‘why?’”

Sustainable Medicine covers a wide range of symptoms including inflammation (infection, allergy, autoimmunity), fatigue, pain, toxic symptoms, deficiency symptoms, and hormonal symptoms. And Dr. Myhill includes a toolbox of treatments for specific illnesses and ailments, as well as a general approach to avoiding and treating all disease. Finally, she offers a series of case histories to show how people have successfully taken control of their health and healed even in the face of the most discouraging symptoms—all without the harmful interventions of 21st century Western medicine.

Advance Praise

“Dr. Sarah Myhill’s honest voice is a beacon of light and hope in a world where conventional medicine is the third leading cause of death in the United States, surpassed only by cancer and cardiovascular disease. She simplifies disease as a lack of raw materials, blocked/damaged powerhouses, and membrane issues (shape and flexibility as well as permeability). Dr. Myhill empowers the patient by offering a thoughtful road map, inspired by her brilliant analogies, to restore proper mitochondrial function that ultimately leads to health and vitality.”

—Dr. Nasha Winters, coauthor of The Metabolic Approach to Cancer

 

“Rather than helping people achieve health by getting to the root cause of disease, profit-driven conventional medicine perpetuates disease by treating symptoms with an endless panoply of pharmaceutical medications. A trip to the doctor will often make you sicker, not healthier. While many people understand this on some level, it can be hard to know where to go from there. That’s why Dr. Sarah Myhill’s Sustainable Medicine is so valuable. She not only critiques twenty-first century medical practice for its misplaced priorities, but she offers readers a far more valuable alternative: the tools to understand their symptoms and the mechanisms at play that give rise to them, so that ‘health care consumers’ can instead be empowered agents of their own well-being.”

—Tom Cowan, MD, author of Human Heart, Cosmic Heart 


“Despite the immense contribution Dr. Myhill has given to the advancement of medical practice, she remains incredibly humble, clearly valuing the insights provided by patients and continuing to learn and make appropriate modifications to various protocols.”

—Justin Smith, author of Statin Nation; producer of the documentary films Statin Nation and Statin Nation II


“If you are sick of being sick then this book could transform your life. However, it can also be used by people who are fit and well in order to remain so to a ripe old age.”

—Paul Robinson, author of Recovering with T3


“This book is an invitation for patients and practitioners alike to move away from a culture of ignorance, restrictive guidelines and blame and to make informed decisions and take responsibility for their own health again.”

—Dr. Franziska Meuschel, MD, PhD, ND, LFhom

 

“This is Sarah’s Principia; the science, the medicine and the under-standing are all hers. My contributions as editor were limited to the typographical, the organisational, and some of the quotations. It was a pleasure to be involved in this project both to witness how a truly unique, caring and great mind comes to an understanding of the labyrinth of modern disease processes and then also to be party to the thought patterns that the said mind undertakes in order to develop sustainable treatments for those diseases. It is not for the editor to advise the reader, but I shall break with protocol; perhaps it is personal to me, but I gained most from this book by reading it in one sitting and would suggest that, if possible, others do likewise. Thereafter one can ‘dip in’ at will. Your Good Health!”

—Craig Robinson, MA (Oxon) ACA
