We all want to be healthy. But somehow the good information about how to get healthy keeps getting twisted. In The Cure for Everything! health and law expert Timothy Caulfield sets out to find the truth about what it takes to achieve a healthy lifestyle, even testing out many of the health claims on himself. He signs up for circuit training with a Hollywood trainer. He tackles a diet that really works with the help of his own Food Advisory Team (FAT). He also sends a test tube of warm spit to a genetics laboratory.
The Cure for Everything! is a thorough debunking of bad science and an attempt to rescue good science. The result is sometimes hard to accept (sadly, there is no surefire shortcut to perfect abs) but also, in the end, liberating.
