The facts are clear. If you want to be healthy for life:

Follow Dr. Ed’s 8 simple commandments for living well - and you’ll live long enough to cash in your 401(k).

Get insight into what your doctor wasn’t taught in medical school.
Combine the best of traditional and complementary treatments. 


Dr. Edward Creagan has been treating very sick patients for more than 35 years. This audiobook is not just about lifestyle choices, although these are important aspects of Dr. Creagan’s healthy living plan. It is about using your precious minutes in the exam room (the average doctor visit is about 16 minutes), forging the right kind of relationship with your care providers (because that world is changing quickly), and understanding and using the health care system - instead of having the system use (and often abuse) you.

“Creagan responsibly and compassionately covers the many steps readers can take to give themselves the best odds of surviving or avoiding cancer and other diseases." (Publishers Weekly)
