Update: The deadline for this campaign has been extended by 30 days.

I don't like reading boring books. And I would certainly take no pleasure in boring you. I once read a book about calcium(!) that was so dull, that it put me to sleep in one minute flat, which worked out great, because it saved me from a bad case of jet-lag. I would not recommend that book to my worst enemy.

I am also not a health nut. Ice cream is and has always been my favorite food. I'm just a truth-seeker, and I don't like being duped. For the last 15 years, nearly every person I have encountered, has asked me the exact same question: "How did you get into the field of Chinese medicine?" Which may translate:  Why would you venture so far off the beaten path? No accountants or actuaries are asked this question. 

There's another question people ask me. It usually follows directly after the one above: "Do you believe in Chinese Medicine?"  I will answer both of these questions for you now, because these questions are the reason I started writing what ultimately became this book. 

The reason I chose to study Chinese Medicine was because I have long sensed that modern medicine was fumbling in the dark in too many areas. There were simply too many unanswered questions, too many contradictions. This lit a fire under me to find the truth about what really causes disease, and what cures it.

It was my interest in truth that led me to study Chinese Medicine. The fact that Chinese Medicine offers a fairly ascetic and regimented approach to health was not the main attraction for me. It was more of a minor and hopefully avoidable inconvenience. (Like I said, I really love ice cream.) I studied this ancient system because I suspected that it might hold some secret truths that Westerners would benefit from knowing about.

"Do you believe in Chinese Medicine?"   A lot of people have faith in modern medicine. Alternative medicine does not generally elicit such mass devotion. However, faith has no place in the world of medicine, though modern medicine would have us believe otherwise. So to answer the question, I do not believe in Chinese medicine, nor any other medical system. I know that Chinese medicine works well and that it's safe.  

There is rarely a need to take a leap of faith with regards to one's health, when we have access to evidence and experience. When it comes to health, an educated decision will always serve us better than a decision based on faith. Chinese medicine is eons ahead of modern medicine, in experience and in depth of understanding health, and will always remain so, considering that they got a 2000 year head start. 2000 years of experience is certainly enough to make faith unnecessary.

"The Truth About Health" is not about Chinese Medicine. The research in this book covers a wide variety of health topics and is non-denominational. (See below for a list of topics covered.) I have spent over a decade researching many questions about health, healthcare, and disease. My columns were featured in various publications over the years, including The English Update, Arutz Sheva, Hamodia, Mishpacha Magazine, Tachlis Magazine, and more. The amount of information I was able to share on a given subject depended a lot on the publisher. 

When my uncut material was published, the new ideas I presented often elicited strong public reactions. Some people saw their long standing suspicions finally backed up with evidence. Some people loved my revolutionary exposes, others were disconcerted when I challenged the status-quo; but no one will ever accuse me of being boring.  One day my magazine editor told me,  "Yael, you know you have enough material for a book. Why don't you write one?"

Since boring books about health usually collect dust in the bookcase, I have made every effort to write a book that is  easy to read, useful, and entertaining. The book is also full of new and groundbreaking information.  We are lucky to have found an open-minded, top-notch publisher that believes in my book. Not just anyone would publish a book that defies the medical establishment's take on reality.

By pre-ordering your sponsor's copy of my book, you will help us bring this lifesaving information to the world. The more funding we get, the more copies we can print. Every contribution will help us reach our goal! Thank you!

Our Goal

Our goal is to raise $11,000. This amount takes care of publication costs including: content edit, copy-edit, proofread, layout, cover design, creative oversight, project management, overseeing printing, arranging distribution, and printing of 1000 copies of the book. If we raise more, we will be able to print more!

We have some outside sponsors as well, who will make sure the book goes to print, so the finished product is guaranteed.

The Impact

Knowledge is power. When it comes to healthcare, knowledge can mean the difference between life and death. Protect your health and the health of your loved ones by getting informed and gaining the tools to take part in important medical decisions. 

The book is written, and we are currently in the final stages to bring it to print. By helping fund this project, you will assist us in bringing The Truth About Health to the world .

Risks & Challenges

According to our publisher, we anticipate that it will take about a year to prepare the book for print.  We would really love to print more than 1000 copies. The more successful the campaign, the more books we'll print.

Since I am not afraid to speak the truth, my material is often (usually) controversial. While my writing has been printed many times over in various publications, the truth is not always popular, and is often censored. So although there is plenty of demand for the uncut truth, status quo is a powerful force, which doesn't have much tolerance for revolutionary ideas. That's why we are thrilled to have found an open-minded publisher who is eager to print the uncensored truth. 

Societal beliefs are formed by the reality that the media presents to the public. My goal is to give you a new reality. The truth is not always the most popular opinion (in fact, it's usually the least popular). But I'm sticking to my guns and continuing to research. I have not yet busted every myth out there. I'll keep you posted!
