SynopsisChasing Antelopes is about how we manage our lives - and our health - in the modern world in the face of strong institutions, including the medical profession and "big pharma". And, it is also about the role played by academic research in our lives, and just how coherent and robust this research sometimes actually is.The author, Robin J. Willcourt, is a leading anti-aging expert currently residing in Australia. He has had a long and illustrious career, in both the USA and Australia, as a medical doctor specializing in obstetrics and gynecology.In Chasing Antelopes, to illustrate what is really going on and to explain "why all this caused all that", the author explores current, relevant - and sometimes controversial - topics including evolution, the human genome, obesity, cholesterol, the Paleolithic diet, hormones, sex (between humans and between certain chimpanzees), the ice age, and global warming.For example, current medical practice says that if you don't sleep well, or if you have a low sex drive, or if you are feeling a little off color, you must be depressed and therefore need to take anti-depressants.Frustrated at seeing mankind's once vibrant curiosity and willingness to question potentially misguided thinking virtually stamped out, Robin J. Willcourt, in Chasing Antelopes, takes us on a journey - using fully documented sources and peer reviewed published academic research - that challenges our thinking and encourages us to adopt new strategies to better manage our own well-being., At a critical point in his long and distinguished medical career, Dr Willcourt became alarmed at the increasing resistance of the medical profession to new ideas, as the institutionalization of medical dogma proclaimed by paid experts took hold. As a result, medicine today barely escapes the definition of being a racket. For many readers, Chasing Antelopes: Why All This Caused All That is going to be disarming. While the author does not try to be controversial for the sake of an argument, he does want you to see how we are being manipulated by governments and industry giants to swallow the opium pill and sink into a state of blunted unquestioning consciousness about so many health and environmental issues. Ultimately, so much of what we have been told to believe about our health and many other facets of our lives is, in fact, malignant rubbish. For example, current medical practice says that if you don t sleep well, if you have a low sex drive, or if you are feeling a little off color, then you must be depressed and so you need to take anti-depressants, at the very least.What rubbish! The writing of Chasing Antelopes was driven by the author s frustration at seeing the once vibrant curiosity and willingness to try out new ideas for disorders that didn t fit stock standard criteria become senile and fossilized and therefore ignored or worse, actively stamped out. Let s begin this journey now together to search for ways to change the things that we can control, and to develop effective strategies for protecting ourselves from the ones we cannot.", Chasing Antelopes is about how we manage our lives - and our health - in the modern world in the face of strong institutions, including the medical profession and "big pharma."
