Story
We all know the dangers of sugar and salt: but the danger attributed to the second white crystal has more to do with getting too little of it, not too much. Too little salt can shift the body into semi-starvation mode, causing insulin resistance, and may even cause twice as much fat to be absorbed for every gram that's consumed. Too little salt in certain populations can also actually increase blood pressure as well as resting heart rate.

This means finding food that is as nutrient-dense as possible. In Eat Like a Human, archaeologist and chef Dr. Bill Schindler draws on cutting-edge science and a lifetime of research to explain how nutrient density and bioavailability are the cornerstones of a healthy diet.

Published in 1922 during those dark and dreary years of socialism’s near-complete triumph, Socialism stunned the socialist world. Mises has given us a profoundly important treatise that assaults socialism in all its guises, a work that discusses every major aspect of socialism and leaves no stone unturned. A few of the numerous topics discussed include the success of socialist ideas; life under socialism: art and literature, science and journalism; economic calculation under socialism; the ideal of equality; and Marx’s theory of monopolies.

Hailed as the most compelling biography of the German dictator yet written, Ian Kershaw's Hitler brings us closer than ever before to the heart of its subject's immense darkness. From his illegitimate birth in a small Austrian village to his fiery death in a bunker under the Reich chancellery in Berlin, Adolf Hitler left a murky trail, strewn with contradictory tales and overgrown with self-created myths. One truth prevails: the sheer scale of the evils that he unleashed on the world has made him a demonic figure without equal in the 20th century.

The arrival of the first missionaries marked the beginning of the struggle between a native culture with its ancient gods, sexual libertinism, and rites of human sacrifice and the rigid values of the Calvinists.

Publisher's Summary
It's no secret that the US health care system is in a state of disrepair, but the rabbit hole goes deeper than even the staunchest critics may realize. In Primal Prescription, authors Doug McGuff and Robert Murphy combine their expertise in economics and medicine to offer a shocking, disturbing, and ultimately enlightening view into America's health care system. You'll discover the real history of what went wrong with US health care and insurance, and why current efforts to clean up the mess are only making things worse.
But far from leaving you feeling helpless at the dismal - and sometimes deadly - state of affairs, Primal Prescription equips you with both the knowledge to understand the health care conundrum and the tools for navigating your way out of it. McGuff and Murphy offer an evidence-based "game plan" for taking control of your own medical care, protecting yourself and your loved ones regardless of what the future holds for the rest of the nation.
Whether you're currently tangled in America's broken health care system or simply trying to avoid its clutches, Primal Prescription is a must-have resource for taking your health into your own hands.

Gawd awful listening.
Would you consider the audio edition of Primal Prescription: Surviving the 'Sick Care' Sinkhole to be better than the print version?
I have not read the print version, but I intend to. This audio version is a disgrace to the content. Brad Kearns reads way to fast to allow me to absorb the content of what he is reading. Then he includes annoying .....chuckles. Everywhere! We are talking about health care in America today. Its not even remotely amusing. I couldn't take much of this. In fact, it got even worse as the book went on.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Primal Prescription: Surviving the 'Sick Care' Sinkhole?
The solutions offered for some of our basic health care issue today. But, like I stated, I could not absorb the valuable content so I am returning this audio version and buying the book. America desperately needs this book. Shame on you for casting this reader.

Excellent book, although I was unhappy with the narration.
This book was great! I love the way they structured the information. Everything led up to the conclusion, which was, take control of the situation yourself. I will read this book again to make notes on how to organize my own health care.
The narrator's frequent laughter, poor pausation, and inconsistent pronunciation was disturbing to the flow of thought. However, poor narration is better than no narration :-)

Great book, lousy narration
This is full of excellent, well written information on the primary illnesses of today's "health care" system. If highly recommend for any of my friends and family. However, the narrator was lousy. Constantly interjecting his own attitude into the information. If you can get past that, it's a great listen.

Love the book, hate the reader
Would you consider the audio edition of Primal Prescription: Surviving the 'Sick Care' Sinkhole to be better than the print version?
No. I was really looking forward to the audio book, so I could listen while I worked, but the narrator on this really does the book a disservice.
Who was your favorite character and why?
It's not really a character book, but I guess....Bob Murphy?
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Brad Kearns?
Anybody else. He couldn't even read the words right. It felt like he was making fun of the book the whole time.
Any additional comments?
I think this is an amazing book. I wish they would reupload it with someone else reading it. I could barely even listen to it.

The Narrator was Horrible
Honestly this book isn’t bad. But listening to this narrator killed it for me. I had to barrow the book and read it myself because of how unprofessional he sounds when reading.
He sounds like a cynical snobby entitled jerk due to his timing of when a conservative statement is presented in the argument. I had my partner listen to an excerpt where you clearly hear this whining “tool” stifle a laugh. He went as far as listening to the book for a chapter and like me had to turn it off.
I’ve never had an experience where the narrator was the reason why I couldn’t read through a book. I’m disappointed. The narrator should be a pleasant, pleasurable voice that is not biased or uses subtle tones in his voice when something he is reading is not to his liking. He should be reading the words in the book as they are written.
Over all this is a unique look on the healthcare system that is written by the perspective of a doctor. This is unique because our country is facing a crisis and seeing all views, opinions, first hand experience, and options is essential to making future better decisions. This book has a healthy amount of information but do yourself a favor and read it yourself.
