Few people – perhaps as few as 1 in 10,000 – actually die of old age. Because a truly healthy life span is at least 100.
Sadly, and as we now know often unnecessarily, heart disease, stroke, cancer, diabetes, osteoporosis, Alzheimer’s and other illnesses rob most people of their health – and therefore a full quality of life – years before their time.
Yet evidence from healthy centenarians and from certain populations shows that the risk of each of these diseases can be cut dramatically through simple nutritional means. Offering not just a longer life, but a longer quality life.
Leading medical scientist Dr Paul Clayton has spent years painstakingly combing through more than 10,000 studies to identify the nutrients with the most proven role in long term health.
In all, Dr Clayton has isolated nine separate groups of protective nutrients. They hold out the promise of broad protection against disease, without unrealistic changes to your own everyday diet.
Through the advice in Health Defence you and your family can enjoy a level of nutrition that will put you among the top 0.1% of healthy diets on the planet.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to Idealbooks, London, United Kingdom, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
