Introduction:
[As much as possible I’m going to write this summary without using the unusual, complicated names of chemicals, diseases, and various processes and reactions, which are described in the book. You’re welcome.]
Shane Ellison is a chemist, through and through. He bills himself as The People’s Chemist, and it looks to me like he uses his powers for good.
He started work as a chemist for Big Pharma, designing new drugs, and then eventually realized that the artificially made drugs were not the way to go, that getting the proper nutrients and avoiding bad things like too much sugar, alcohol, artificial flavors, preservatives, and some other things we are exposed to in the water we drink and the soaps and shampoos and sunblock we use, IS the way to go. Also avoid an overdependence on prescription drugs.
90 percent of Americans are malnourished, according to the National Center for Health Statistics. [I suspect that is a spectrum with some people being slightly malnourished and others being extremely malnourished.] By malnourished he means lacking the proper nutrients for healthy operation of the body and mind.
