The Mitochondriac Manifesto: How Nature Nurtures the Body, and Technology Torments It

The Mitochondriac Manifesto places the mitochondria, the small power stations inside our cells, at the centre of an argument about modern health. R. D. Lee contends that natural electromagnetic frequencies, pure water and the earth's steady magnetism sustain our energy and resistance to illness, while artificial frequencies, adulterated water and uneven magnetic fields drain that energy and open the way to disease.

This is a single volume, and it is written as a manifesto rather than a neutral survey. Readers who enjoy alternative perspectives on environment and wellbeing will find a clearly argued personal case for living closer to nature's patterns and for being wary of technology. Its claims are the author's own, so it suits readers who like to weigh a provocative thesis for themselves.
