The temptation of fake health
Description
Book Introduction
- A word from MD
- It is not cancer or vascular disease that threatens the health of modern people.
It is a distrust of modern medicine.
This book, written by a cardiologist, says that anyone who has never been to a hospital is not a healthy person.
The priority is to get a quick and accurate diagnosis and manage the disease at the hospital.
What is more frightening than overtreatment is ignorance.
- Son Min-gyu, humanities PD
Palantir, Tesla's Algorithm for True Health
Big Data Doctor, a cardiologist who defines health through logical thinking
“I was healthy enough to never have to go to the hospital.” Big Data Doctor asks those who pride themselves on their health.
What do you think health is?
And if you haven't been to the hospital even once, doesn't that mean you don't know your body's condition?
Big Data Doctor, a cardiologist and YouTuber, has published a book on defining health and how to make the best decisions.
In this age of unverified health information overflowing with supposedly healthy foods, countless nutritional supplements, and various therapies, "The Temptation of False Health" provides readers with a sober and objective assessment of how they should think about and treat their own bodies.
By combining the problem-solving approach of Palantir, a big data production company, with Tesla's verification style, it shakes up existing thinking and guides a new approach.
This book goes far beyond just providing health secrets.
It concretizes concepts based on objective data and guides me to make the best decisions by creating a guide to what I should and can do.
While taking care of your health, it also leads you to algorithmize your vague thoughts into clearer ones.

Into the book
Health is a lot like a self-driving car.
The goal of a self-driving car is to get from point A to point B safely without any accidents.
The same goes for people.
The goal is to get from point 0 to point 100 without any special incidents.
Your body, as you read this, has begun its journey toward autonomous driving.
To achieve more perfect autonomous driving, the first priority is to quickly identify and fix the problems that are preventing us from reaching the 100-year mark.
Through your autonomous driving tests.
--- From "The Secret to Maintaining Health Discovered at Tesla"
Everyone, do you get regular health checkups? Do you have regular endoscopies? Do you get your vaccinations on time? Do you know your blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol levels accurately? Do you maintain a healthy weight and waist circumference? Let's reframe these questions and give them meaning in light of our redefined health.
Are you doing anything to reduce your risk of the #1 and #2 causes of death?
--- From "Algorithm for Health"
“Eat lots of vegetables.
“Because it’s good for your health.”
“Eat some omega-3.”
“Because it’s good for your health.”
If I asked you, "What specifically is good for your body?" would you be able to give a clear answer? Let's explore why we often fail to think critically when we hear about foods that are supposedly good for our health, but instead blindly believe them.
--- From "Why We're Fooled by Healthy Foods"
I feel like my legs have poor blood circulation.
So, I have been buying and eating food A, which dissolves blood clots, for the past month.
One day, I suddenly felt mild dizziness.
A tiny blood vessel in the brain burst and caused bleeding.
Fortunately, the amount was small, and the clot formed right away, so I was able to patch up the bleeding area.
But you are still taking A.
A absorbed into the blood circulates through the body.
Of course, it also goes to the cerebral blood vessels.
At this very moment, Food A faces a contradictory situation.
The original purpose of taking A was to dissolve any unnecessary blood clots that might have formed in your legs, but it ended up dissolving the clots that were patching up the burst blood vessel in your brain.
Then what will happen?
--- From "The Secret of Blood Circulation"
When it comes to calculating money, everyone displays a thinking ability that rivals that of a scientist.
Because the gains and losses of money are clear concepts to everyone.
(Omitted) But there is something strange.
The moment you think of yourself as a consumer rather than an investor in health food, all this calculative thinking stops.
--- From "If what I've said so far is difficult"
When someone says they are reluctant to take medication for the rest of their life, it means:
I don't want to continue, so I'm going to bother the person downstairs by not wearing indoor shoes from the beginning.
I don't want to continue, so I'll expose myself to the contagious disease without wearing a mask.
I don't want to continue, so I'll just let the trash in my house pile up instead of throwing it away.
I don't want to continue, so I'll just let the tartar build up without brushing my teeth.
--- From "Blood pressure medication, diabetes medication, high cholesterol medication, once you start taking it, do you have to take it for the rest of your life?"
For some reason, you fall off a cliff.
(Omitted) Someone threw a rope to help me get out of that situation.
But you've heard so many bad things about ropes: "Ropes stink," "You'll catch a cold if you hold onto them," "Ropes are bad for you."
So we come to a point where we reject the rope.
Without even realizing what situation you are in right now.
And then we talk.
“Please support and pray for me so that I can get out of here.
“It is said that hearing positive words often is good for your body.”
--- From "Drugs are harmful, so let's try exercising and controlling our diet"
If you want to solve a problem, you must first find the root of the problem before finding a solution.
Because when you touch the essence, the problem is solved.
So how can we get to the heart of the problem? We need to define the problem specifically and reveal the meaning of the information related to it.
Just like Palantir's problem-solving formula.
If you want to properly prevent any disease, please remember these four things:
(1) Define the disease specifically (redefine the problem).
(2) Identify the cause of the disease (find information related to the problem).
(3) Check if the cause lies with me (check the meaning of the information).
(4) Correct the cause (problem solving).

Publisher's Review
Algorithm 1: Redefining Health
Palantir's Problem-Solving Approach, Adapted from Tesla
A always exercises and is in good physical shape.
However, early signs of stomach cancer were discovered during a health checkup.
B is in poor physical condition because he doesn't exercise.
I'm always tired.
However, cancer has never been found in a screening.
C is of normal weight.
Exercise regularly and eat healthy.
However, blood pressure and cholesterol levels are measured to be high.
D is obese.
I have already been diagnosed with high blood pressure and high cholesterol.
So I'm taking medication.
Thanks to this, it is well controlled within the normal range.
- From the prologue
The author asks:
Among A, B, C, and D above, who is the healthy person?
Is being at a normal weight healthy? Is exercising regularly and eating a balanced diet healthy? Is being obese unhealthy? Looking at it this way, health is a very ambiguous concept.
However, health should not be ambiguous because it is connected to life.
So the author proposes:
Let's redefine health based on objective data.
And let's try to reduce the possibility of death, which is the opposite of health, even a little.
That's the big idea of this book and the starting point of the algorithm for true health.
The author combines the problem-solving approach of big data company Palantir with Tesla's verification style on the path to true health.
Palantir uses a "backwards transformation" approach, focusing on the problem itself rather than the solution and asking questions.
This book uses a 'reverse approach' to specifically identify what is currently blocking your health.
Tesla has vastly more data than any other self-driving car company thanks to its extensive testing.
This book, inspired by Tesla's data collection and utilization, identifies problems with expert systems and explains how to identify good information.
Algorithm 2: Solve the Problem
What's more important than healthy food, various nutritional supplements, and folk remedies?
With the flood of information pouring in from various media outlets, healthy foods, newly emerging nutritional supplements, and ever-changing folk remedies, the variety of ways to improve your health is so vast that it's difficult to discern what's truly authentic.
"The Temptation of False Health" questions this information logically and asks questions.
Instead of telling readers which foods and supplements are good and which are bad, we guide them so they can make their own decisions.
· How to avoid being fooled by healthy foods
· How to distinguish research results of certified health functional foods
· How to correct misconceptions about drugs such as thrombolytics
· How to properly understand the side effects of various medications, including blood pressure medications
· How to find out the identity of a medical professional
It is not important to eat enough vitamins.
It is more urgent to resolve the issue that has occurred to me now and to correct the misunderstanding.
"The Temptation of False Health" guides readers through the logic of health, enabling them to diagnose their own problems and make sound decisions.
A book that shakes up your thinking system
This book is not simply a health book.
Although it contains a wealth of health information, it is a humanities book that shakes up the reader's thinking system to define and manage a healthy life on their own rather than providing methods.
It helps develop judgment based on verified data under scientific thinking.
So, after reading this book, you will feel that your perspective on areas beyond health has changed.
It will also open new eyes to how to operate and distinguish data in the era of big data.
