New Book Launches



Welcome to Eleventh Hour! Attached are the covers of our 2 latest books that will be available in local bookstores as well as www.drvictorchen.com (online mid-March).

We certainly live in exciting times as medical science brings us closer to immortality, we can now live fuller and more enriching lives even with advancing years. In recent time there has also been a great explosion of interest in health, wellness and health supplements. Often promoters of these products will make many claims. For the average individual it is difficult to validate all these claims and decide what is really appropriate for their condition.

Far too often, these products offer a panacea or a cure-all promise. They tend to give people an idea that a pill or nutritional supplement will do wonders even without modifications to lifestyle such as diet and exercise. Of more serious concern is that large amounts of nutritional supplements, traditional medicines and extremely strong protein supplements, are being recommended and sold by people with little understanding of health sciences, motivated only by commercial interests.

Healthy living is not just about a pill, a particular diet or exercise regimen. It is an attitude that encompasses diet, exercise and many other factors. The explosion in health matters is legitimate, as it is estimated that over 80 percent of all illnesses have environmental and lifestyle causes. But the public should be given correct information. That is the purpose of this BLOG!

Dr.Victor Chen.
