Reseña del libro "Instinctive Measures: The Guinea pig Soldiers and the Poison Pill (en Inglés)"
When the battle ends, the real fight begins. For Stephen Beardwood, the war didn't stop when he returned home from deployment. Having been administered mefloquine, a controversial drug that had not passed clinical trials, he faced a different kind of enemy: devastating side effects that turned his life upside down. He calls it what it truly is-poisoning.In Instinctive Measures, follow the engaging and emotional journey of a warrior striving to reclaim his health, sanity, and place in the world. Struggling with a body and mind in turmoil, he embarks on a path of recovery that is as much about healing relationships as it is about physical and mental well-being. Through the journey to reconnect with his children, family, friends, and veteran community, he discovers the strength within himself and the power of genuine love and support. By embracing plant-based medicine and a whole-food diet, he finds a natural path to healing, rejecting the processed foods and prescription drugs that failed him.This is not just a personal story but a powerful call to action. He advocates fiercely for veterans' rights, demanding more equitable pensions and veteran centric institutions and care. His voice is a beacon for others, highlighting the need for systemic reforms and a compassionate approach to those who have served.Instinctive Measures is more than a memoir. It's a manifesto for change, a testament to resilience, and a moving story of learning not just to survive but to thrive. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the true costs of war, the plight of veterans, and the power of community.
