The Wheel of Health - The Secret Path of Hunza (ePub)

As a basis for comparison with undernourished civilized man - in a world of apparent plenty - Dr. Wrench cites the little-known race of Hunzas, inhabiting a mountainous region in the northwestern tip of India. Here, in almost absolute isolation from the modern world, the Hunzas were found to represent, by all scientific standards, the very epitome of health, vigor and general well-being, both physically and mentally. What the Hunzas eat, how they grow it, how they prepare their food . . . all these are revealed in detail in THE WHEEL OF HEALTH. In addition, Dr. Wrench explodes the theories of heredity, (with substantiations by many other recognized authorities) explaining that diseases themselves are not passed on from one generation to another, but only those weaknesses which make a person more susceptible to the disease; weaknesses which might be corrected through proper food. Not only a very readable and thought-provoking treatise on proper diet, and an urgent plea for full recognition of vitamin values, THE WHEEL OF HEALTH provides a reliable guide to all who seek a better state of well-being and longer life, through proper eating.Table of Contents:INTRODUCTIONChapter I – THE HUNZA PEOPLEChapter II – A REVOLUTION IN OUTLOOKChapter III – THE TRANSFERENCE TO EXPERIMENTAL SCIENCEChapter IV – THE STARTChapter V – CONTINUITY AND HEREDITYChapter VI – OTHER WHOLEDIET EXPERIMENTSChapter VII – FRAGMENTATIONChapter VIII – THE CAUSATION OF DISEASEChapter IX – THE HUNZA FOOD AND ITS CULTIVATIONChapter X – PROGRESS BY RECOILChapter XI – AN ENTIRE EXPERIMENT
