The Microbe Factor

Council Oak introduced Dr. Shinya's work to the English-speaking world with its translation of The Enzyme Factor. Now, Council Oak is publishing Dr. Shinya's first original English-language book, The Microbe Factor in paperback after its success in cloth. In this follow-up to his bestseller Enzyme Factor, Dr. Shinya shows how bacteria work to produce enzymes and are thus key to keeping you healthy. He questions the currently popular approach of fighting disease with more and more pharmaceuticals and explains why his "Shinya Biozyme" programme for natural health works inside cells to cleanse and energize the body. Hiromi Shinya, MD, is one of the world's leading gastroenterologists whose book The Enzyme Factor has sold millions of copies in the United States, Japan and other countries. He pioneered the "Shinya Technique," the now-standard procedure for the removal of polyps from the colon without invasive surgery. Over a career of 40 years Dr. Shinya has treated thousands of patients. It has been his routine to get diet and nutrition histories from his patients and, by comparing this with the evidence of their colonoscopies, has developed a set of lifestyle and diet suggestions that will enable us to live a vital, healthy life into a good old age.
