Thanks to Dr. Isaac Eliaz, I have been following the galectin-3 story in my medical practice for more than twenty-five years. The Survival Paradox will introduce you to this revolutionary, little-known molecule that should become a household term for anyone seeking to prevent or reverse aging and chronic disease. Thoughtful and provocative, The Survival Paradox should be read by all seeking a better and healthier life. Certainly, a book ahead of its time!

Dr. Eliaz does here what no other physician, author, presenter, or fellow human has done in the past: recognize, define, and demonstrate the survival paradox. This unique work is a gift to the reader and guides them to understand hidden stressors and how neutralization of galectin-3 can stabilize the survival response to address modern-day maladies that affect humans globally.

This is not another step-by-step “how to reverse aging” manual. Rather, it provides a truly holistic, complete, and multidimensional perspective on health, disease, and healing. This book is more than worth your time and can be life-changing! I highly recommend it.

For the last three decades, through my medical clinic, my two nonprofit organizations, and through collaboration with leading academic institutions across the globe, I’ve researched and treated cancer and complex diseases using integrative medicine—the synergistic combination of Western medical treatments and complementary therapies drawn from different systems. 

The fundamental intention of this holistic approach is to open more doors for recovery, transformation, and healing so that patients emerge with greater strength, vitality, and a more profound and satisfying experience of life itself. While considering the whole picture in both disease and healing, my research kept bringing me back to the survival paradox, what drives it, and how we do or don’t recover from it.

"Dr. Isaac Eliaz has unique insights on the cause and treatment of multiple diseases. His
expansive training and expertise as a physician, scientist, and integrative medicine
practitioner allow him to approach health and disease from a systems-based, complex
perspective, resulting in him being a true healer. Dr. Eliaz’s evidence-based, scientifically
sound approach presents a cutting-edge model that he has been refining for more than
thirty years. The Survival Paradox provides us access to Dr. Eliaz’s wisdom on preventing
and treating diseases. Eloquently weaving personal experience, patient stories, and
science, this book will transform lives as it contains a multitude of actionable
recommendations to reverse and prevent multiple diseases." —

For more than a quarter century, I have received the unique care of Dr. Isaac Eliaz. I have
learned that the treatment of any ailment is profoundly affected by the relationship we have with
our own healing. Thanks to Isaac, I now know it as a partnership rather than a struggle. This
book will help you understand these invaluable lessons it takes many a lifetime to accept. —

I’ve been trained in diverse systems including Western allopathic medicine, traditionalChinese medicine, acupuncture, and others. I’ve extensively studied and practiced Buddhist meditation and mind-body healing methods, Western and Eastern herbal pharmacopeia, and served as the personal physician to renowned Buddhist masters all over the world.

Collaborating with academic institutions and co authoring peer-reviewed studies is asimportant in my training as the time I’ve spent with monks in remote mountains.The integration of these studies and experiences has allowed me to develop a truly holistic, multidimensional perspective on health, disease, and healing. 

Above all, I have learned to let go of the expectations and dogmatic paradigms of our current medical systems, conventional and alternative. People often say I think “outside the box,” to which I respond that there was never a box to begin with. There was just the perception of one.

Are you ready to break out of survival mode and unlock your infinite healing potential?
