I just finished reading "Making Waves: Irving Dardik and His Superwave Principle", which is the most interesting book I've read in a while.
I remember coming across Dardik's work in the late 1990s. His story is an interesting one. Dardik came up with a novel "cyclic exercise" program, which alternates bursts of high-intensity activity with complete rest. He found that his program helped those suffering from a variety of severe ailments: Parkinson's disease, Multiple Sclerosis, AIDS, etc.
A few people thought he was a quack; a particularly persistent lady helped to get his medical license suspended. Dardik continued on, and now, guess what, scientists at top universities are indeed finding out that his protocol helps people with Parkinson's disease, AIDS, and the like.
I enjoyed the book and admire Dardik's perserverance to bring his findings to light.
