Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book strips away the misconceptions about medical care for arthritis and reveals a safer and more effective treatment. If you are one of the millions of people suffering from Arthritis, this could be the most important book you ever own.

Two out of three Americans will develop arthritis symptoms and just about all of them will go to their medical doctor first. This practice increases health care costs and exposes patients to the hidden dangers of today's health care system, unnecessarily. Among the very real dangers is death: 106,000 patients die every year from non-error, adverse effects of prescription drugs and there are 12,000 deaths a year as a result of unnecessary surgeries. The Laser's Edge will open your eyes to an entirely new way of treating arthritis without the risks of addictive medications, steroid shots or surgery. It provides hope for anyone who has been suffering from pain, and suffering from the experience of going to specialist after specialist without relief. The revolutionary treatment outlined in this book has helped countless patients avoid risky surgery and eliminate the need to take dangerous drugs. This book has the potential to change, maybe even save, your life.

Separating myth from fact and answering all the tough questions, Outsmart Your Genes clearly explains: How the revolutionary new medical specialty called predictive medicine analyzes your genes and provides you with clear solutions to protect your health and wellbeing. What the process will entail and how simple it is. For example, the process doesn’t even require blood or use needles – instead, all that’s needed in order to run the analysis is a small amount of your saliva.

Why analyzing your children’s genes may provide the best chance they have to fight against diseases that may not affect them until later in life, including Alzheimer’s, many forms of cancer (such as breast cancer and skin cancer), multiple sclerosis, and even hearing loss. How groundbreaking advancements in the fields of genetic analysis, including predictive medicine panels and disease matrix technology, allow you and your physician to avoid information overload and focus only on the information most relevant to you. The important concepts you need to understand before speaking with a doctor. The top five questions you need to ask in order to assess: The credibility of the laboratory doing the testing. The types of diseases included in the test. How thoroughly the test actually evaluates your risk for each of the diseases. Whether the information is provided in a way that makes it actionable. Whether the results will be delivered in a format that is straightforward and easy to understand.
