Summary
Disease care vs health care: Which would you choose?
Contrary to conventional wisdom, chronic disease is not genetically predetermined but results from a mismatch between our genes and environment and lifestyle. What we call a "disease" is the outcome of an imbalance in one or more of the seven core physiological processes. Leveraging a lifetime on the cutting edge of research and practice, Dr. Jeffrey S. Bland lays out a road map for good health by helping us understand these processes and the root causes of chronic illness. As Bland teaches us, no two people have the identical form of any disease, so with the right personalized program, we can safely and effectively manage and ultimately cure what ails us.
In the twenty-first century, medicine is undergoing a paradigm shift comparable to the advances in infectious disease in the late nineteenth century. While these strides have nearly doubled life expectancies in only four generations, quality of life has yet to rise to its full potential. Treatment of chronic diseases - diabetes, heart disease, arthritis, dementia, and many others - is responsible for 78 percent of total health care costs in the United States, yet we're managing the symptoms of these illnesses with pills and temporary remedies instead of identifying, preventing, and addressing their underlying causes. In The Disease Delusion, we learn how we may fundamentally change our perceptions of illness and approach a cure.
Dr. Bland has greatly influenced many of the biggest names in medicine today, but until now we have not had access to the larger framework in which to understand chronic illness or ways to foster lifelong health. Complete with self-evaluation questionnaires and sample meal plans, and supported by the most recent advances in health science, The Disease Delusion is indispensable to anyone determined to live long and well.

Super knowledge
Excellent book. Though a bit cheeky with 15 chapters/ 10 hours of listening.
Learnt an awful lot about mitochondria, autoimmune response and other huge bodily processes.
Well worth the time!

Best " our there" listening
Lots of interesting depth to each & every subject covered.. For me personally, it covered my interests in lifestyle & repairing immune system from 2 separate Brest Cancers, unraveling lots of answers to questions I've looked for in 10years.. The only negative aspect was the speed of narrator was far to fast for scientific information, I spent a lot of time running back over things that were galloped out to fast..

Thought provoking
Some really interesting new and thought provoking ways of looking at how we treat diseases. Good possible explanations as to why there are so many chronic diseases for which there still are no cures and possibles answers as to how to avoid those. No magic bullets just simple real foods and good lifestyle.

Superb. A MUST READ for everyone
This book is one I wold class as essential reading for anyone who is frustrated by the limitations of our current healthcare systems. Dr Bland is a master visionary in his approach to the new paradigm of treating chronic disease effectively.
