My copy came in the same day I did my first plunge, March 29. Beautifully written and I find myself highlighting so much that I will be forever getting through the book.. Ideas in the first chapter are revolutionary -- and make perfect sense. Love to see an eBook, even at the same price as a hard copy.. Maybe an index to enhance searching for information in the hard copy? And, I love AJ's Forward.. Very personal, personable and a great intro to some of the underpinnings of your story. And the idea that the next edition might feature someone else writing the Forward..!! Hmm. Forward thinking is forward thinking! Namasté

PS Seems decentralized thinking delivers new vistas in every direction!

Congratulations on Uncommon Cold!

Doc! Your book is awesome I've been flipping the pages every chance I can! This preface from your own experience and the contrast to the education and care of your son's diabetic situation really does hammer home that Western medicine and science while flawed and often its well meaning inital foundation becomes a profiteering and predatory scheme once it's found that the sick will pay for the idea of health! Thak you for this Encyclopedia of cold water science!

Beautifully written, I also look forward to oreding my copy.

The Power of the Cold is definitely a thing I have found to be a positive in my life.

I love how you talk about finding our own path to health and am intrigued by AJ's story. We definitely require a new paradigm to move us forward in the area of managing healt. Thanks for allowing us to have the Preface and Best Wishes.

Looking forward to the full read! Great preface and loved:

It doesn't matter if some study says that X works when X doesn't work for you.

We are now at a low point in modern history when it comes to institutional trust. While most people still like their physicians on a personal level, trust in the institution of medicine is at an all-time nadir.[7] It doesn’t seem coincidental that this precipitous evaporation of trust is occurring at the same time the country is facing a massive mental and metabolic health crisis.

That resonated with me a lot. I've been battling this exact same thing for years and just slowly working to change things one patient at a time.

Kind regards my friend. See you soon.

Hi Thomas - I live in Hong Kong and tried to order the book in your online store. Unfortunately the shipping cost is set as a by default to USD 3'000 which is a bit too much for a USD 30 book ;-)

Could you pls update that? I imagine the book has a wider appeal outside of the U.S.

Many thanks, Martin
