That book was written for my patients who came for 2- or 3-week treatment periods to the Health Academy "Arkadia". During their stay, these people were nourished in the optimal way and were taught the theory and practice of optimal nutrition. At the completion of their stay, patients were given the book in order to further expand and strengthen their understanding of the principles of the diet so they could continue it at home." In 1996 the book entitled, Optimal Diet was published. This book which quickly became a bestseller, and remained a bestseller for 3 years (over 300,000 sold), forms the basis of the present book. The title for the English edition of the book, Homo Optimus, was chosen for two reasons. Firstly, as a tribute to the priest, Professor W. Sedlak, whose book (thus far not translated into English) entitled, Homo Electronicus opened up new frontiers in science, namely in bioelectronics. Secondly, the present book is far more than just an outline of the principles of "optimal" nutrition, as my first book indeed was. I hope that this book will stimulate every reader to seriously rethink what they have up until now regarded as obvious and unchallengeable truths, not just in terms of human nutrition but also in terms of human behaviour and existence. In the following pages I have attempted to prove that an individual's or a nation's behaviour and quality of their existence (prosperity) are directly and almost exclusively dependent on the quality of their nutrition. In my books I explain the diet-induced mechanisms of various aliments and the amazing results of the "optimal diet" in the treatment of these diseases. In the Optimal Nutrition I have also signalled a subject the scope of which I am expanding in the current book: the potential for the improvement in human reasoning ability and the modification of human behaviour produced by this model of nutrition. The second edition of this book- an expanded and updated version, enriched with experience gained over the past 10 years - was released in 1999. It is also available in English (Optimal Nutrition, WGP,1999). mal nutrition" ought to transform an individual into The official position of the Polish , a member of the human species with yet unknown Academy of Science Medical Science otential.
