A HEALTH BEST-SELLER

The best-selling book Health Defence by Dr Paul Clayton has never been out of print and remains the single most comprehensive research-based book available on nutrition and health.

Health Defence is referenced in medical training courses, yet written so the lay person can appreciate the huge impact that an optimum diet and lifestyle can have on health and longevity.
