The Survival Paradox

Isaac Eliaz

Cancer. Organ failure. Accelerated aging. Can a single “survival molecule” fuel our most deadly and devastating health concerns? 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.

Drawing on inspirational healing stories and cutting-edge research, integrative medicine expert Dr. Isaac Eliaz presents a roadmap to master your biochemistry and overcome this paradox. The result? Healing and transformation on every level: physical, mental, and emotional.

The Survival Paradox offers a groundbreaking new perspective in medicine—and the key to unlocking your infinite healing potential.

We live in a time of widespread chronic illness, degenerative disease, and unhealthy aging. In this breakthrough book, Dr. Eliaz reveals a new concept called the "survival paradox." It will shift your understanding of the root causes of health and disease. It will give you insight into the process behind common problems such as heart disease, diabetes, lung disease, and cancer. And more importantly, it will reveal a method to successfully stop the damaging effects of an uncontrolled survival response. He does this through telling inspirational stories, sharing personal experiences and knowledge, and presenting information in a way that is easy to grasp. This is not another step-by-step "how to reverse aging" manual. Rather, it provides a truly holistic, complete, and multidimensional perspective on health, disease, and healing. This book is more than worth your time and can be life-changing! I highly recommend it.
