Stupid Reasons People Die: An Ingenious Plot for Defusing Deadly Diseases Book

Dr. John Corso's entertaining yet serious non-fiction book, Stupid Reasons People Die, illuminates why thousands of people die in the prime of life, from easily preventable causes, and how you can avoid becoming one of them. This is not another "eat-right, get-fit, lose-weight" guilt trip. Nor is it "twenty more secrets that your doctor doesn't want you to know." Engaging and comprehensive, you will learn the things that actually work. The state-of-the-art knowledge, imaging, medications and more, that identify and stop our most common killers before they can hurt us, all presented by a straight-talking doctor with two decades experience on the front lines of medical practice. Vital tests and treatments too often remain unknown and unused by most people because they are not on their menu of medical benefits and may never be mentioned by their physicians. With stinging candor and wry humor, this compelling page-turner lays out exactly which screenings and treatments you should consider and how to gain the control and knowledge needed to get the best that modern medicine has to offer. This book is a survival guide, a get-smart, take-charge, how-to book on diffusing our own medical time bombs. When someone dies before their time from heart attack, stroke, cancer, or other natural cause, it represents a failure on the part of the patient, doctors, and healthcare system to detect disease and intervene when it is easily curable. The book explores why we fail so often, and exposes the blind spots and traps inherent in our healthcare system, our culture, and in our own minds. It shows how to make sure you and your loved ones avoid them, offering a logical yet radically different view from what most of us believe to be healthy vs. unhealthy establishing how we focus our efforts towards longevity on all the wrong things.Read More
