Live Better Longer: The Parcells Center Seven-Step Plan for Health and Longevity

by Joseph Dispenza, Ann Louise Gittleman PH.D., CNS (Foreword by)

Overview

The Parcells Center 7-Step Plan for Health and Longevity.

A nutrition pioneer's secrets for living a higher quality of life to age 100 and beyond.

Simple steps for getting well, staying well and gaining vitality for a long and healthy life based on the teachings of legendary holistic healer and pioneering nutritionist Hazel Parcells.

Dr. Hazel Parcells, the revered "grand dame of alternative medicine," who healed herself of terminal tuberculosis when she was 42 years old, inspired several generations of nutritionists, and lived to the age of 106 by following a dramatically effective set of straightforward nutritional practices.

In this practical and motivating guide, Dr. Parcells's longtime student Joseph Dispenza distills more than 65 years of her groundbreaking research on natural health and the chemistry of foods into seven practices that are remarkably easy to integrate into daily routines.
