OK, so this is my new favorite medical book! Survival of the Sickest: A Medical Maverick Discovers Why We Need Disease satisfies two loves for me - my fascination with the miracle of our bodies and my love of history. This book talks about how forces from our past influenced our genetics. He shows how such illnesses as diabetes, heart disease and hemochromatosis were originally methods for our bodies to survive other dangers. Check this out - you will be fascinated and intrigued by the deep intelligence of your body.
