Health Secrets Of The
Hunzas
The booklet you are fortunate enough to be holding in your hands
can literally transform your life in a very surprising way. Applying the
secrets it contains will help you regain - or maintain - what is no doubt the
most precious of possessions: your youth. That may seem like an
extraordinary claim for any book to make. And yet, it is completely up to
you whether or not it comes true.
The secrets revealed in this work are based on the knowledge
of a people whose reputation has spread far and wide around the
world. The real name of this amazing group of people is unknown
to the public at large. All that is generally known is that they
inhabit some remote mountain range, and that they are reported
to live for an exceptionally long time.
It is believed that among these people centenarians are
common currency, and that it is not unusual for elderly persons to
reach the venerable age of 130. It has even been reported that a
significant number have survived to the incredible age of 145!
These people are not the product of legend, nor is the country
they inhabit a mythical utopia. They call themselves the Hunzas
(pronounced Hoonzas) and live in what has come to be known as
the roof of the world - the mountain peaks of the Himalayas. To
be more precise, the Hunza country, with a population of only

Health Secrets Of The Hunzas
30,000, is situated at the extreme northern point of India, where
the borders of Kashmir, China, India and Afghanistan converge.
It is said that this tiny group of people, residing in an
inaccessible valley about 3000 meters (9000 feet) above sea level,
are more or less completely cut off from the outside world. It is
also said that they are the happiest people on earth.
Their origins are a mystery. Legend has it that they are the
descendants of three Greek soldiers who deserted from the army
in the time of Alexander the Great, and who, along with their
Persian wives, sought refuge in this paradise valley. They have
remained completely isolated ever since, protected by the unique
character of the terrain, which made it all but impossible for
invading enemies or curious adventurers to enter the region.
The Hunzas rely primarily on crop cultivation and the raising
of cattle for their subsistence. They are not skilled craftsmen, nor
do they engage in trade. In fact, they have no form of currency
whatsoever. Although they were rather warlike for centuries,
occasionally pillaging neighboring settlements for required items,
they have, over the last 150 years or so, become completely
pacific. Their society is quite extraordinary - you won’t find a
single prison or bank on Hunza territory.
The first westerner to discover these mysterious people was
an audacious Scottish physician, Dr. MacCarrisson. An
adventurer by nature, MacCarrisson had no qualms about
embarking on a perilous journey to the Himalayas between the
two World Wars. He was fortunate enough to spend a total of
seven amazing years among the Hunzas.

A Land Where Disease Is
Unknown
His discoveries quite literally astounded him. Since he
possessed a sound scientific background, there is no question of
his having been overly gullible or duped in any way, or even less
of his having fabricated any of his information.
The first thing he observed was that the Hunzas seemed to be
endowed with exceptional health, beyond anything he had ever
seen before. Even more astonishing was the fact that, as far as he
could tell, they suffered from no diseases whatsoever.
The Hunzas appeared to be completely immune to all
so-called modern diseases, notably cancer and heart disease
which, as you probably know, are the two primary causes of
death in western countries.
In addition, Dr. MacCarrisson did not encounter a single case
of arthritis, varicosity, constipation, stomach ulcers or appendicitis
during the entire seven years he spent among the Hunzas. Perhaps
even more surprising was the fact that childhood afflictions were
also nonexistent. None of the Hunza children developed any of
the diseases common to their western peers: mumps, measles and
chicken pox were unheard of, and infant mortality was an
extremely rare occurrence.
