Most people’s diets are woefully inadequate for providing proper nutrition. Even good diets fail to deliver sufficient levels of nutrients.The Vitamin Cure book series highlights the safe and clinically effective use of vitamin supplements for a variety of illnesses. Research continues to prove the immense value of vitamins for maintaining health and fighting disease. The Vitamin Cure books, written by authors who are recognized experts in their field, deliver authoritative, up-to-date, and practical information on taking vitamins for particular health problems Even though vision is one of our most-valued senses, we often take our eyesight for granted until problems begin to develop. Many serious eye-related illnesses, ranging from glaucoma to retinitis pigmentosa,are degenerative diseases that progress slowly throughout our lifetime and only reveal themselves later in life. These age-related eye diseases and many other eye conditions can be prevented or improved with proper nutrition and vitamin supplementation. Many of us exercise and try to eat well, and we may even take supplements and drugs to avoid illnesses such as heart disease, but are we doing what we can to keep our eyes healthy?Robert Smith has written a comprehensive guidebook for anyone interested in understanding the function of the eye and maintaining or regaining good eye health. The Vitamin Cure for Eye Disease clearly introduces the complex workings of the eye and the illnesses, whether serious or common, that can occur through oxidative stress and poor nutrition. As an experienced researcher Dr. Smith guides us through the current research, explaining how correct vitamin supplementation and good nutrition can stave off or improve our visual health.This book will be an indispensable tool for people seeking therapeutic, natural help for specific eye diseases as well as those wanting to maintain their healthy eyes later in life.

AIDS at 30: A History

41EoGAd0mCL.jpg

1597972940








1597972940

Society was not prepared in 1981 for the appearance of a new infectious disease, but we have since learned that emerging and reemerging diseases will continue to challenge humanity. AIDS at 30 is the first history of HIV/AIDS written for a general audience that emphasizes the medical response to the epidemic.Award-winning medical historian Victoria A. Harden approaches the AIDS virus from philosophical and intellectual perspectives in the history of medical science, discussing the process of scientific discovery, scientific evidence, and how laboratories found the cause of AIDS and developed therapeutic interventions. Similarly, her book places AIDS as the first infectious disease to be recognized simultaneously worldwide as a single phenomenon.After years of believing that vaccines and antibiotics would keep deadly epidemics away, researchers, doctors, patients, and the public were forced to abandon the arrogant assumption that they had conquered infectious diseases. By presenting an accessible discussion of the history of HIV/AIDS and analyzing how aspects of society advanced or hindered the response to the disease, AIDS at 30 illustrates for both medical professionals and general readers how medicine identifies and evaluates new infectious diseases quickly and what political and cultural factors limit the medical community’s response.

Nutrition is one of the most important determinants of individual and public health.

In 2004, Peggy Forney was extremely obese but then she defied current diet doctrine to lose 90 pounds and regain her health and freedom. And she did it without dieting. She did it by changing her thinking. You too, can lose up to 90 pounds and more without dieting and help win your health and freedom! How? By changing your thinking about: *Dieting *Calories *Carbohydrates, proteins, and fats *Exercise *What your family and friends may say *Where you live Peggy Forney lays out a roadmap that can turn the tide of obesity in America and, at the same time, enable big business to make big money. But, it requires fundamentally changing our thinking. We must abandon 35 years of scientifically unsound US Government nutritional policy and embrace new scientific research that says we have picked the wrong culprit. Yes, we can regain our health and freedom, but we must raise ourselves above the ideas of the time. Peggy shows us what can be rather than what is.

Seven million people die from cancer each year around the world, and many more are impacted by this universal scourge. In Betrayed by Nature, research scientist and lecturer Robin Hesketh demystifies the nature of cancer.  Hesketh provides a concise and comprehensive history of both the science and the medical advances made over the decades. He takes the reader on a riveting tour of human biology; he explains how cancers start, what is meant by ‘a mutation’, and how mutations can make cells grow abnormally and spread around our bodies.  Drawing on the latest discoveries from the Human Genome Project, Hesketh reveals the strides being made in understanding this malevolent disease and makes accessible the science of today's treatments. Betrayed by Nature looks forward to the day when many cancers can be treated readily and effectively. With cancer afflicting one in three people worldwide, this is an illuminating and optimistic look at the past, present, and future of cancer.

Here's The Deal About Cancer

0986015911

Here's the Deal is a book that offers straightforward advice regarding the confusing world of cancer. If you have been diagnosed with this terrible disease, you too, are now faced with having to make life or death decisions with little background or expertise. This book is a reflection of my personal journals when my husband, Tommy, was diagnosed with a brain tumor. We chose to integrate both conventional and alternative therapies which greatly improved his quality of life. These were not easy decisions to make. Being a mother of three small children, and having no medical background, this journey was incredibly scary for me. In writing this book, I wanted to help those who are also searching for answers so they did not have to reinvent the wheel or have to figure everything out on their own. Tom and I discovered that you can help your body and have a much better quality of life by making lifestyle changes. This book is not intended to "bash" the medical community or promote alternative therapies. It is written, however, to show you how a normal, busy family dealt with life after the rug had been pulled out from under them with a diagnosis of aggressive cancer. Never forget that you are not alone in this fight. I hope this book provides you with insight as to what the human body - your body - can do if you just take the time to understand it, ask the right questions, and be proactive in your healing.

Awaken Your AgePotential: Exploring Chosen Paths of Thrivers

1592985084








1592985084

Age Isn't A Sentence--It's An Opportunity In Western Culture people buy into the ageist idea that the young are expected to thrive, while aging adults are expected merely to survive. This poisonous thinking is perpetuated by the media, entertainment industry, business, and even our families, causing generations of older individuals to let go of their will to achieve fullest potential and resign to life on cruise control. Gerontologist Lori Campbell introduces us to an emerging trend called AgePotential, awakening us to the understanding that we all have the potential to thrive regardless of our chronological age or stage in life. As Campbell delves into the unique life paths of thrivers age fifty years and older, readers discover that they too can influence how they age, through the power of choice. Members of Generation AgePotential don't settle for the status quo--instead, they take life by the reins and expect to live fulfilling lives to the end. Will you join them?

Racial Indigestion: Eating Bodies in the 19th Century (America and the Long 19th Century)

51EctZ9YrEL.jpg

0814770037








0814770037

The act of eating is both erotic and violent, as one wholly consumes the object being eaten. At the same time, eating performs a kind of vulnerability to the world, revealing a fundamental interdependence between the eater and that which exists outside her body. Racial Indigestion explores the links between food, visual and literary culture in the nineteenth-century United States to reveal how eating produces political subjects by justifying the social discourses that create bodily meaning.Combing through a visually stunning and rare archive of children’s literature, architectural history, domestic manuals, dietetic tracts, novels and advertising, Racial Indigestion tells the story of the consolidation of nationalist mythologies of whiteness via the erotic politics of consumption. Less a history of commodities than a history of eating itself, the book seeks to understand how eating became a political act, linked to appetite, vice, virtue, race and class inequality and, finally, the queer pleasures and pitfalls of a burgeoning commodity culture. In so doing, Racial Indigestion sheds light on contemporary “foodie” culture’s vexed relationship to nativism, nationalism and race privilege.

The Guardian of All Things: The Epic Story of Human Memory

51JmAK49SNL.jpg

0312620314








0312620314

A fascinating exploration of the history of memory and human civilization Memory makes us human. No other animal carries in its brain so many memories of such complexity nor so regularly revisits those memories for happiness, safety, and the accomplishment of complex tasks. Human civilization continues because we are able to pass along memories from one person to another, from one generation to the next. The Guardian of All Things is a sweeping scientific history that takes us on a 10,000-year-old journey replete with incredible ideas, inventions, and transformations. From cave drawings to oral histories to libraries to the internet, The Guardian of All Things is the history of how humans have relentlessly pursued new ways to preserve and manage memory, both within the human brain and as a series of inventions external to it. Michael S. Malone looks at the story of memory, both human and mechanical, and the historic turning points in that story that have not only changed our relationship to memory, but have also changed our human fabric. Full of anecdotes, history, and advances of civilization and technology, The Guardian of All Things is a lively, epic journey along a trajectory of history no other book has ever described, one that will appeal to the curious as well as the specialist.

Raw Nutrition: Restore Your Health by Eating Raw and Eating Right!

51YfQ11Cf%2BL.jpg

1591202965








1591202965

People who consume only processed foods and fail to eat raw fruits and vegetables may be starving themselves and overeating. While this might seem like a contradiction, it's true. More people die in the United States from overeating than from under eating. If you are not eating an enzyme-rich, plant-based diet, your body may be stealing enzymes from your pancreas and heart just to digest the food you are eating. This activity of "robbing Peter to pay Paul" can cause diabetes and heart disease. Eating a green salad daily can make a healthy difference in how you look and how you feel every day. Research confirms that raw plant enzymes reverse aging. In Raw Nutrition readers will learn: o How food addictions are industry inspired and emotionally created o How to overcome these food addictions by reclaiming the power within and recognizing how blocked emotions can lead to weight issues o How, by following a raw vegan diet, most people lose at least 10 pounds (4.5 kg) a month eating all they want No one teaches us what we need to eat every day to achieve optimal health and prevent disease. Eating organic, raw fruits and vegetables eliminates many of the antigens that cause allergic reactions and subsequent disease. This book gives readers an easy-to-remember formula to live healthfully and make the most out of life.

Time Bomb from Within: Mercury Poisoning in Dentistry

1458205894

This book is a gem. It hits hard at just how simple it is to be poisoned from the vapors from mercury and mercury amalgam exposures and yet just how difficult it is to achieve understanding from anyone in either the health care industry or society in general. Dr. Scheckner is able to take the reader on a journey of just how simple it is for mercury to slowly and silently destroy someone's life. People are being hurt, not only from the damaging effects of mercury on one's health, but also from the battle that it takes to achieve acceptance and recognition that mercury poisoning is a disease. This is a compelling story that all too many people in our profession of dentistry and patients who have been treated with mercury amalgam have faced and, because of a societal lack of understanding, will continue to face, unless we start to wake up and stop using this insidious and pernicious agent. Time Bomb from Within: Mercury Poisoning in Dentistry is a simple but heart-wrenching read for every dental health care professional and anyone who has, or has ever had, a mercury amalgam filling. -Dr. Nestor B Shapka, BSc, DDS, IAOMT; president of the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology

Fitness for Geeks: Real Science, Great Nutrition, and Good Health

1449399894

This inquisitive and highly useful book shows the hacker and maker communities how to bring science and software into their nutrition and fitness routines.The digital age has made a big splash with new web-connected gear in the sports/fitness world. Fitness for Geeks covers many of these new self-tracking tools and apps, including Endomondo, FitBit, Garmin Connect, Alpine Replay, Zeo, and more. The book shows you how the gear and apps work, relate to human physiology, and can be hacked and integrated into your lifestyle and fitness routine. Fitness For Geeks is designed to appeal to a broad audience of techies and other engineers, athletes, gym rats, adventurers, in short anyone with a scuffed-up muddy pair of running or cycling shoes (or bare feet) who wants to take a cerebral approach to health. The "measure mantra" is a useful concept for people seeking fitness ("what gets measured gets managed and fixed"), and now you have the software, gear, and companion book to do it. The book includes an eclectic mix of interviews with a wide range of experts, including two NFL pro football players, a mountaineering guide, a national expert on vitamin C, a runner who won a hot Boston Marathon, a scientist who tests the effects of fasting on mice and tumors, an MIT scientist who studies our mTOR growth pathway, an expert sports masseuse, and a former Israeli soldier who studied the diet of the Spartans, Greeks, and Macedonians. Fitness For Geeks has detailed chapters on nutrition as well as outdoor and indoor fitness and sports, with explanations of various protocols (for resistance training and sprinting), the physiological aspects of exercise (such as metabolic equivalent of task and calculating your basal metabolic rate (BMR) and total energy expenditure), and of course a number of apps and tools that can accompany your workouts.Sprinkled throughout the book are familiar software-engineering concepts, such as antipatterns and design patterns, and how we can apply these same paradigms to fitness. How important is real food, an oscillation of movement throughout the day, as well as getting plenty of sleep and healthy sunlight? We have the same "preinstalled software code," our genes, as pre-modern people. The book discusses this imperative of mashing up a techie lifestyle with the paradigm of evolutionary health - the ancient behaviors for which we are programmed.A geek is someone who spends a huge amount of time analyzing the fine points of whatever interests her, ad infinitum, to a level that no one around her can possibly understand. Her family members and friends are all flabbergasted and scratching their heads, until finally with a shrug of their shoulders and a murmur of "fanatic..." they return to quotidian concerns. See yourself in there? Then Fitness For Geeks is probably the book you've been looking for. Just as Jeff Potter brought a new perspective to cooking in O'Reilly's bestselling Cooking for Geeks, in Fitness For Geeks you're likely to find a similar originality and outside-the-box approach to taking charge of your own health.

The Omnivorous Mind: Our Evolving Relationship with Food

51wREOzStcL.jpg

0674055721








0674055721

In this gustatory tour of human history, John S. Allen demonstrates that the everyday activity of eating offers deep insights into human beings’ biological and cultural heritage. We humans eat a wide array of plants and animals, but unlike other omnivores we eat with our minds as much as our stomachs. This thoughtful relationship with food is part of what makes us a unique species, and makes culinary cultures diverse. Not even our closest primate relatives think about food in the way Homo sapiens does. We are superomnivores whose palates reflect the natural history of our species. Drawing on the work of food historians and chefs, anthropologists and neuroscientists, Allen starts out with the diets of our earliest ancestors, explores cooking’s role in our evolving brain, and moves on to the preoccupations of contemporary foodies. The Omnivorous Mind delivers insights into food aversions and cravings, our compulsive need to label foods as good or bad, dietary deviation from “healthy” food pyramids, and cross-cultural attitudes toward eating (with the French, bien sûr, exemplifying the pursuit of gastronomic pleasure). To explain, for example, the worldwide popularity of crispy foods, Allen considers first the food habits of our insect-eating relatives. He also suggests that the sound of crunch may stave off dietary boredom by adding variety to sensory experience. Or perhaps fried foods, which we think of as bad for us, interject a frisson of illicit pleasure. When it comes to eating, Allen shows, there’s no one way to account for taste.

SOLOMON J. WICKEY· Member of the Old Order Amish faith· Iridologist· Master Herbalist· Born with a God-given gift to heal· Falsely accused of practicing medicine without a license· Widely known throughout the USA and world· Breeds and raises registered Standard bred horses· Happy, fun loving, musician, carpenter, gardener, fisherman; devoted husband, father, brother, friend. Historically, when God decides to send mankind in a new direction, He sends a messenger, or sometimes an entire army to lead the way. Although for thousands of years messengers have been trying to show people the way to achieve perfect, optimal health, each has presented it in a different way, and since God will not be denied, we can expect legions of new messengers shouting with even stronger voices until they finally "get it. Solomon J. Wickey was sent to deliver the most profound message of all; tap into God's power to heal by sending a coded signal to the body via silent thought. Solomon has successfully demonstrated this method by restoring health where there was little, if any, hope, and improving the quality of life for tens of thousands. The mere possibility of achieving instant results without pain or debilitating side effects, is exciting for those willing to take charge of their own lives; their own health.

The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali

61lVvcaq81L.jpg

1420946463








1420946463

Yoga is an exercise and meditation philosophy that has been taking the United States by storm over the past several decades. Yet many are unaware that there is an entire, ancient religion that prefaces this phenomenon. Yoga is one of six orthodox schools of Hindu philosophy, and "Yoga Sutras of Patanjali" contains 196 aphorisms that form the basis of Raja Yoga. Patanjali uses his text to explain different facets of the philosophy, leading people to achieve kaivalya, the ultimate goal of detachment. The sutras begin with the most basic concentration, and then progresses to discipline, manifestation, and finally, emancipation of the transcendental ego. Patanjali also explains how one can find the path to kaivayla with the eight limbs of Yoga; non-violent thoughts, cleanliness, healthy living, meditation, and others are explained as essential actions to achieving self-liberation. Patanjali lived sometime between the 1st century BCE and the 5th century BCE. While all critics agree that Patanjali is the great compiler of the Yoga Sutras, many deliberate about whether or not he created the meditational philosophy. Some even speculate that Patanjali borrowed some of his sutras from other authors. Regardless, "Yoga Sutras of Patanjali" is now considered to be the leading authority on Yoga, and various editions are still in print over two-thousand years after the original publication.

Becoming a True Champion: Achieving Athletic Excellence from the Inside Out

Many of today's athletic superstars glorify and demonstrate cheating and illicit, destructive conduct. Whether off the field antics or on the field cheating through the use of illegal performance-enhancing drugs typify an athlete's lack of personal values, the bad behavior displayed by many in a broad range of sports is hard to escape. The result is that too many such negative role models and influences are out there, diverting today's developing competitors down a seductive path to failure rather than upward to excellence and lasting, honest achievement.  Becoming a True Champion: Achieving Athletic Excellence from the Inside Out fills a critical need by speaking in a frank and direct voice directly to today's aspiring athletes about these crucial, controversial issues and the personal choices they face. At the same time the book presents them with the antidote to these negative influences-the fundamental values, attitudes and concepts, both mental and practical, that support and lead to athletic excellence.  A "true champion" is an athlete with the specific qualities of character, mental discipline, and physical skills necessary to generate and keep increasing athletic excellence and success throughout his or her career. These qualities can be learned and developed; they need not be inborn. Becoming a True Champion goes deeply into each quality to show developing athletes how adopting it directly affects and enhances athletic performance, longevity, and dignity. Through relevant examples, inspiring stories, and a personalized approach, the book shows athletes how to avoid the many pitfalls, and overcome the inevitable obstacles, so common in today's sports culture.
