Pages : 584
Book Description
Raphael's Legacy presents an evocative appraisal of the false truths we've been sold as a society about chronic conditions such as: Depression, Stress, CFS, ME, Psychological Illness, Fibromyalgia, Hypothyroidism, Toxic Body Syndrome & Lymes Disease. An open and candid collection of thoughts derived from one man's innate ability to do battle and fight for what is our most precious of gifts; the right to life. The result of thirty years of struggle, thirty years of pain, a career, body and sense of wellbeing destroyed simply because our medical industry is institutionally insane. Read how the author explores for you the incompetence, ignorance and prejudices that underpin our medical industry, and then revel in the simplicity of his postulations for the pursuit of well being. A hard hitting, yet comical take on the process of illness that will almost certainly bring a smile to your face and yet paradoxically, may leave you feeling completely flabbergasted at times.
