Your body runs on energy it has to make itself. Almost every modern disease begins where that breaks down.Fatigue that sleep doesn’t touch. A memory that slips. Blood pressure, blood sugar and cholesterol numbers that climb a little each year while the prescriptions multiply. You’ve been told this is simply what growing older looks like.Robert S. Waters, MD, has spent five decades finding out otherwise. The Elements of Disease traces heart disease, diabetes, dementia, kidney failure and cancer back to a single shared failure: the cells’ ability to produce energy in the form of ATP. Understand that failure and the picture changes entirely, because a cause can be corrected where a symptom can only be managed.The story turns on elements. Some the body cannot work without and no longer receives in the amounts it needs, magnesium above all. Others have no function, damage the system and accumulate over time: lead, mercury, cadmium, arsenic and aluminum. Chapter by chapter, Dr. Waters shows what each one does inside a living cell, how two centuries of industry and adulterated food changed our exposure to all of them, and what can be done to restore the balance.Key topics explored:Why the diseases of aging are one problem wearing many namesWhat happened to the food supply, and what it did to your metabolismHow iron, calcium and magnesium govern health, and what goes wrong when they fall out of balanceWhere lead, mercury, cadmium, arsenic and aluminum come from, and how they damage the energy production machinery and cause diseaseThe case for magnesium EDTA chelation therapy, from a physician who has used it for forty years'This book will explain how you lost your vitality and what you can do to get it back. It is not as difficult as you have been led to believe.'Nearly nine hundred studies from the medical literature stand behind the argument, and eleven case histories from his own practice show it at work
