Dr. Richard Ruhling taught Health Science at Loma Linda University, a community featured in a National Geographic cover story on longevity. "They were trying to find out the secret as to why so many people in my town were living well into their 80's, 90's and even 100 years of age," says Ruhling.

In Dr. Ruhling's new book Health, Happiness & Destiny he shares the secrets of how just about anyone can live an extra 10 years. "I'm 78 years old," says Ruhling, "and I am in better health now than when I was 35! How do I do it? Diet, exercise and faith and staying away from the leading cause of deathPRESCRIPTION DRUGS and Medical Care"

"Funny thing," adds Ruhling, "The Center for Disease Control doesn't even mention medical care in their list of top 10 causes of death! I reveal the truth in my book because so many people don't know what they don't know about prescription drugs"

The Journal of American Medical Assoc. reported 106,000 deaths in hospitals from Adverse Drug Reactions (April 1998). But most people don't die in hospitals. 199,000 died outside the hospital from prescription drugs, reported in the Western Journal of Medicine, (June 2000). Together, they represent 305,000 deaths. From 1998 to 2005, deaths from ADRs increased 2.7 fold. (Archives of Internal Medicine (Sept. 2005).

"Ads on TV promoting new drugs actually cause more use and, you guessed it, more people dying from Adverse Drug Reactions," says Ruhling, "In fact we've had a 2.7 fold increase from TV drug ads since 2007.

Ruhling was board-certified in Internal Medicine and had a Cardiology Fellowship before teaching Health Science at Loma Linda University, a community featured in National Geographic as the only 'Blue Zone' for health in N. America for a preponderance of people living beyond national averages. (Nov, 2005).

"In this essential book, Dr. Ruhling demonstrates how eating right and avoiding bad habits, combined with a strong faith in a higher power, can form the foundation for a healthier lifestyle"

John J. Kelly, Detroit Free Press

Ruhling decries the CDC disinformation because when people don't see drugs as a leading cause of death and they think they may die from heart disease, they are more inclined to take drugs for diabetes, high blood pressure or cholesterol and they are at higher risk for doing so.

According to Ruhling, medical care is not healthcare; it's the diagnosis and treatment of diseaseit's disease care and has an inverse relationship to health. The more one sees the doctor and takes prescription drugs, the worse one's health becomes. He says we should remember Hippocrates"Let your food be your medicine" His book shows how this is possible, affirming Pritikin's findings that a low fat, low cholesterol diet helps reverse most chronic conditions including heart disease, high blood pressure and diabetes as a growing number of physicians are discovering.

The book has received high praise from many doctors and top reviewers:
