Consumers looking to make sense of the relationship between food and health have a new blueprint: Effortless Healing: 9 Simple Ways to Sidestep Illness, Shed Excess Weight, and Help Your Body Fix Itself, by Dr. Joseph Mercola.

Whether you’re dealing with a chronic illness, weight gain, age-related conditions, or just looking to ward off everything from the common cold to cancer, Effortless Healing provides clear explanations and easy-to-follow strategies, based on the latest research, peer-reviewed studies and Mercola’s personal experience treating patients for more than 25 years.

This important book comes along as consumers are awakening to the fact that corporations have hijacked our food supply. What we once took for granted—a natural diet of organic, nutrient-dense food—has been replaced by highly processed, pesticide-ridden junk foods. It’s no coincidence that at the same time, we’re seeing skyrocketing increases in diseases ranging from autism and ADHA, to depression and anxiety, to diabetes, autoimmune diseases and cancer.

What has the world of conventional medicine offered to address this growing list of ailments? A dizzying array of drugs, most of which cause far more harm than good.

In my years of advocating on behalf of consumers who want to make healthier choices and take charge of their own health, I’ve found that most health-conscious consumers are juggling an impressive number of responsibilities. They want to keep up with the latest science relating to health. They want to make better choices. 

But they also don’t want, or simply can’t, spend hours doing all the research themselves, sorting out the credible from the suspect, and trying to make sense of it all in a way that translates into a concrete plan they can then use to manage their own health.

That’s what makes Effortless Healing so valuable. Mercola has done the research, sifted through the studies, and tested the theories—and then translated that knowledge into terms everyone can understand. But the book doesn’t just provide insights and illumination—it also outlines, step-by-step, the ways in which everyone who has the will can take control of his or her own health.

Toward the end of Effortless Healing, Mercola writes:

The question to ask yourself as you make decisions about what to eat and drink and how to live your life is:
Do I want to degenerate or regenerate?
The answer is simple. The power is yours.
