Life is a Fatal Illness

Geoffrey Douglas was born in London in 1945. He grew up in Zambia, schooled in Zimbabwe and read medicine at Oxford. He worked for thirty-five years in Swaziland, where he founded a managed health care organisation that grew to fourteen clinics, fifty staff and over forty thousand patients. Life is a Fatal Illness is a personal memoir of an extraordinary life, in which the author deals with serious life challenges, including being shot, the death of his youngest son and cancer. He also faces many challenges at work, as he makes the first HIV diagnosis in the country that now has the worst HIV prevalence in the world. Returning to the UK, Geoff becomes the CEO of a charity and uses his scientific mind to challenge the claims and counter claims of the dysfunctional food and supplements industries. This fascinating book will impart many useful life skills and explain in simple terms what is meant by good nutrition.
