The H Factor Solution: Homocysteine, the Best Single Indicator of Whether You Are Likely to Live Long or Die Young

GroundBreaking Research by Two Best-Selling Authors: Elevated Homocysteine IS Causatively Associated with over 100 Major Medical Conditions! Dr. James Braly and Patrick Holford combined their years of research and writing experience to produce The H-Factor Solution. This book shows that elevated homocysteine is not confined to heart disease, strokes, abnormal blood clotting, and Alzheimer's disease, but is a powerful, independent risk factor in more than 100 other major medical conditions as well-cancers, leukemia, accelerated aging, clinical depression, sleep apnea, alcoholic withdrawal seizures, problem pregnancies, H. pylori ulcers, diabetes, and hypothyroidism, to name just a few.

The authors go on to show what factors contribute to high homocysteine, how to detect it if it?s too high, and how to dramatically lower it to a risk-free range with simple dietary changes and aggressive nutrient supplementation. The H-Factor Solution is the first book to clearly explain how plasma homocysteine is the single best functional indicator of folate, B12, and B6 vitamin status; when homocysteine is high, one or more of these vitamins is low.

The H-Factor Solution is also the first book to compellingly argue that elevated homocysteine is also an excellent biological marker for glutathione, SAMe, L-cysteine, and methyl donor deficiencies; when homocysteine is high, one or more of these critical antiaging, health- promoting natural body chemicals is deficient.

Much of the remainder of the book is devoted to describing exciting advancements in laboratory testing and a clear definition of the optimal range for homocysteine.
