Las Vegas, NV -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/25/2013 -- With a mind as sharp as a surgeon's scalpel and a stamina of a 50-year old, Dr. Philip S. Chua, MD, FACS, FPCS, Cardiac Surgeon Emeritus of Northwest Indiana and Las Vegas, who turns 78 on May 26, 2014, revealed his simple "secrets" to health and longevity in a recently published coffee-table guide to healthy lifestyle and disease prevention starting from the cellular (DNA) level, entitled Let's Stop "Killing" Our Children.

Listed in the US Library of Congress (Control Number 2022 908 669), this health "book of wisdom and treasures" pointed out why future children do not necessarily have to have the so-called "natural and expected diseases of adults and seniors" that all of us have today.

This valuable book is available in the United States and in Asia.

In his book, this cardiac surgeon, who trained under the world-renowned heart transplant surgeon, Dr. Denton A. Cooley, at the Texas Heart Institute in Houston, clearly laid out in an easy-to-understand layman's term the "ingredients and recipe" on how to prevent, not only arthritis, high blood pressure, and diabetes, but also and more importantly, heart attack, stroke, Alzheimer's, and above all, cancer.

Dr. Chua critically stated that "we are our body's Number One enemy; most of us are on a slow-suicide mode through self-abuse and self-neglect."

"The scientific guidelines in this health book are lucidly explained in practical terms and easy for anyone to follow and would surely change your life and those of your loved ones for the better," Dr. Chua stressed.

This book is available in hardback, paperback, and e-Book at amazon.com and at barnesandnoble.com. For expedited delivery at no extra charge and free of tax, order it at http://www.philipSchua.com.
