Sustainable Medicine

“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 

“Dr. Sarah Myhill provides us with not only a critique of current medical practice but also a detailed viable alternative, which she aptly refers to as ‘sustainable medicine’—sustainable because the focus is on the underlying causes of disease rather than merely the management of symptoms. The approach is highly integrative. Dr. Myhill utilizes nutritional medicine, lifestyle interventions, appropriate clinical tests, and, yes, were necessary, conventional medical treatments. Sustainable Medicine is a manual for good health in the twenty-first century. It makes a great deal of sense, starting from the basis of what constitutes good health and working up to many more detailed areas. Dr. Myhill also dispels a number of medical myths along the way—what we are told about cholesterol, low-fat diets, problems with digestion—and describes the real causes of various conditions prevalent today. The detailed advice about nutritional supplementation with appropriate dosages throughout the book is also particularly beneficial.

“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

“This book grabbed my attention from the first page and kept me fascinated right to the very end. Dr. Myhill sees many of the current ‘diagnostic’ and ‘treatment’ practices in modern medicine to be unsustainable because they do not actually deal with the real underlying causes of ill health. This argument is explained so clearly and carefully that it is impossible to disagree with it. God! I hope the medical profession sit up and listen.

“Dr. Myhill at one point describes this book as ‘. . . the end result of 30 years of trial and error’. This description doesn’t come close to the achievement that it represents. She has managed to pull off the near impossible and has packaged up an overall blueprint for good health. This blueprint can help patients recover from a wide range of conditions and forms a platform for future good health. It’s a tour de force!

“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

“Dr. Myhill addresses the principle causes for the current epidemic of chronic diseases in the Western World and outlines in her unique, no-nonsense way how to explain, prevent, diagnose and successfully treat those conditions for which conventional medicine currently only has an ever increasing amount of potentially dangerous medicines to offer.

“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
