Even a peep inside this book will shock you with the power hold that galectin-3 has on human physiology. The most innate sense of any living entity is the notion of survival. That said, survival comes at a cost. Regarding our physiological response to stressors, this cost is the inflammatory response, which, when left unchecked, can lead to tissue degeneration and chronic disease.Dr. Eliaz does here what no other physician, author, presenter, or fellow human has done in the past: recognize, define, and demonstrate the survival paradox—this new conceptualization of the critical balance between "enough and too much.This unique work is a gift to the reader and guides them to understand hidden stressors and how neutralization of galectin-3 can stabilize the survival response to address modern-day maladies that affect humans globally."--Dan Rubin, ND, FBNAO, Co-Founder of Naturopathic Specialists, LLC Product Description Cancer.

The truth is, the very biochemical mechanisms the body uses to survive are actually making us sick. This is the survival paradox.When our body’s survival response is triggered, there is a cost: pain, inflammation, and life-threatening disease. But there is a way to overcome it. Drawin
