MAKE AMERICA HEALTHY AGAIN
Dr Chauncey Crandall—world-renowned cardiologist and author of the bestselling, groundbreaking The Simple Heart Cure—presents a comprehensive blueprint for improving public health in America, by addressing not just individuals’ behaviors, but systemic issues, policy changes, and societal shifts needed to create a healthier Nation, and WORLD!
The path to making America healthy again requires a holistic approach that integrates individual responsibility with comprehensive policy changes. By embracing the principles of preventive care, prioritizing mental well-being, and promoting equity in health access, we can lay the foundation for a thriving, resilient nation.
A healthier America is not only possible—it is essential for the well-being of future generations. By acting now, both at the personal and policy levels, we can create a society where every individual can live a long, healthy, and fulfilling life. Let this book be a call to action for everyone: to take steps today toward a healthier tomorrow and to work collectively toward building a nation that values health as its greatest wealth.
MAHA explores the many facets of America’s health crisis, offering a comprehensive roadmap for how individuals, communities, and governments can work together to create a healthier nation. Here are the key takeaways and solutions from each chapter, emphasizing the dual responsibility of personal actions and systemic changes needed to address the current challenges:
Key Actions for Individuals:
- Adopt a Healthy Diet (Food as Medicine): Choose whole foods, reduce processed food intake, and focus on a plant-based, nutrient-rich diet. This approach can prevent and even reverse many chronic conditions.
- Incorporate Regular Movement (Rethinking Exercise): Make physical activity a daily habit, whether through walking, stretching, or functional exercises. Consistency, rather than intensity, is key to reaping the benefits of regular movement.
- Prioritize Mental Health: Practice mindfulness, meditation, and seek support when needed. Mental well-being is foundational to overall health, and addressing stress and anxiety can lead to better physical health outcomes.
- Engage in Preventive Healthcare: Regular check-ups and screenings are vital for early detection and prevention of disease. Take charge of your health by staying informed and proactive about your healthcare needs.
- Build Strong Social Connections: Strengthen ties with family, friends, and community groups. Social support plays a crucial role in mental and physical health, reducing the risk of isolation and promoting resilience.
- Advocate for Personal Health Rights: Stay informed about health policies and advocate for transparent, patient-centered healthcare. Use your voice to support better access to healthcare and policies that prioritize preventive care.
Key Actions for Government and Communities:
- Reform Healthcare Policy for Prevention: Shift focus from reactive treatment to preventive care. Policies should prioritize early interventions, lifestyle education, and access to primary care, reducing the burden of chronic diseases.
- Promote Access to Healthy Food: Implement policies that make nutritious foods more affordable and accessible, particularly in food deserts. Support local farming, improve food labeling, and incentivize healthier food options in schools and public institutions.
- Invest in Urban Planning for Active Living: Design walkable cities with accessible green spaces, bike lanes, and safe recreational areas. By creating environments that encourage physical activity, communities can foster healthier lifestyles.
- Address Mental Health at the Policy Level: Increase funding for mental health services and integrate mental health care into primary care settings. Public awareness campaigns can help reduce stigma and encourage people to seek the help they need.
- Combat Health Misinformation: Launch educational campaigns to provide accurate, evidence-based information on health topics, including the risks and benefits of vaccinations. Support health literacy programs to help the public make informed decisions.
- Support Health Equity Initiatives: Tackle systemic health disparities by improving access to quality healthcare, nutritious food, and safe environments, especially in underserved communities. Policies should address the social determinants of health to ensure fair opportunities for all.
- Promote Sustainable Health Practices: Implement environmental policies that reduce pollution and support sustainable farming. A focus on eco-health initiatives can improve public health and protect the planet for future generations.

Raising The Dead is an inspirational and moving story of God, Faith and Miracles.
On October 20, 2006, a middle-aged auto mechanic, Jeff Markin, walked into the emergency room at the Palm Beach Gardens Hospital and collapsed from a massive heart attack. Forty minutes later he was declared dead. After filling out his final report, the supervising cardiologist, Dr. Chauncey Crandall, started out of the room. “Before I crossed its threshold, however, I sensed God was telling me to turn around and pray for the patient,” Crandall explained.
With that prayer and Dr. Crandall’s instruction to give the man what seemed one more useless shock from the defibrillator, Jeff Markin came back to life–and remains alive and well today.
But how did a Yale-educated cardiologist whose Palm Beach practice includes some of the most powerful people in American society, including several billionaires, come to believe in supernatural healing?
The answers to these questions compose a story and a spiritual journey that completely transformed Dr. Chauncey Crandall.
Book is also available in Spanish (Y los muertos resucitan).
Touching Heaven is an inspirational and moving story of God, Faith and Miracles.
Dr. Chauncey Crandall knows his patients well. When they are dying, he sits at the bedside with them and holds their hands. He prays with them. Sometimes he can feel what they feel and see what they see. At other times his patients have near-death experiences and “come back” with astonishing descriptions of the afterlife.
In TOUCHING HEAVEN, Dr. Crandall reveals how what he has seen and heard has convinced him that God is real, that we are created for a divine purpose, that death is not the end, that we will see our departed loved ones again, and that we are closer to the next world than we think.
