GET A GRIP ON ARTHRITIS AND OTHER INFLAMMATORY DISORDERS
by Lorna R. Vanderhaeghe
ISBN: 0-9731803-4-X
|
More and more information is accumulating that indicates inflammation
plays a major role in the development of many diseases. Arthritis, gingivitis,
heart disease and psoriasis are conditions that affect very different parts of the
body, yet they all have something in common: inflammation. What’s more,
inflammation is now thought to play a role in dozens of other conditions, from
allergies, asthma, bowel disease and autoimmune disorders like lupus to macular
degeneration and memory loss. That is because inflammation represents
a very basic response by the body to alterations in the cellular environment,
whether the cells line the gums (gingivitis), skin (sunburn), arteries (atherosclerosis)
or joints (arthritis). The body’s most basic purpose for inflammation
is to repair itself, as well as defend against clear and present dangers.
Get a Grip on Arthritis provides natural relief for the pain, swelling and
destruction that inflammation causes in the body.
Why is “natural relief” so important? Conventional pain and anti-inflammatory
medications have serious side effects, including bleeding ulcers,
digestive complaints and joint destruction. Discover Mother Nature’s potent
painkillers and natural anti-inflammatories.

THE HAMPTONS DIET
Lose Weight Quickly & Safely With the Doctor’s Delicious Meal Plans
by Fred Pescatore, M.D.
ISBN: 0-471-47812-1
|
Americans are currently obsessed with low-carb dieting. What these low-carb
diets fail to point out is the danger in the indiscriminate and uncontrolled
consumption of fats and the lack of healthy dietary fiber from fruits and vegetables
that cannot only hinder weight loss but that can be damaging to the
dieter’s long-term health. In The Hamptons Diet, Dr. Pescatore explains
the importance of consuming “good” monounsaturated fats and warns
about the danger in eating the trans fats found in margarine and many
pre-packaged and low-fat food products. He explains how choosing monounsaturated
fats like macadamia nut oil can reduce inflammation and lower
cholesterol levels as well as facilitate weight loss by boosting metabolism by
increasing the thermic effect of food by up to 10 percent.
The Hamptons Diet discourages the use of pre-packaged meals and snacks,
urging dieters instead to consume real, whole and unprocessed foods. “We
have gotten so far away from eating good, real foods that most of us don’t
even know what they are,” explains Dr. Pescatore. Pescatore shows dieters
how proper dietary nutrition and certain nutrients and supplements can prevent
heart disease, cancer and diabetes, giving them both a plan to attain their
ideal weight and one to help them achieve their healthiest selves. Included are
three meal 30-day plans to fit the needs of dieters at different stages in their
weight-loss progress. With over 100 delicious and easy-to-prepare recipes by
celebrated chefs like Tom Valenti, dieters will never feel deprived.

THE GIFT OF OUR COMPULSIONS, A REVOLUTIONARY APPROACH TO SELF-ACCEPTANCE AND HEALING
by Mary O’Malley
ISBN: 1-57731-470-0
|
We compulsively eat, diet, work, shop, surf the Internet, drink, gamble. All we
have to do is to get control—right? Wrong. It is reported that 95–98 percent
of all weight that is lost on diets is gained back plus some, within a year.
Control clearly doesn’t work, but there is good news. There is another way to
work with compulsions, a way that not only heals them, but also heals us to our core. Over the past three decades, Mary O’Malley has
developed a revolutionary approach to self-acceptance and
healing of our compulsions. The Gift of Compulsions is filled
with new perspectives and simple techniques that we can use
even in the middle of our busy lives. The fundamental concepts
in this book are easily accessed in the midst of any experience
through four simple questions that can heal our compulsions
and at the same time heal the underlying emotional pain.
Mary reminds us that in the light of our compassionate
attention, our compulsions not only lose their power over us
but they also become a vehicle for transformation. As we learn
to respond rather than react, bringing curiosity and compassion
to our immediate experience, we transform the compulsive
holdings in our minds, bodies and hearts. We then become
fully mature, responsive and vibrantly alive human beings.

POLITICALLY INCORRECT NUTRITION
Finding Reality in the Mire of Food Industry Propaganda
by Michael Barbee, CDC
ISBN: 1-890612-34-0
|
Politically Incorrect Nutrition exposes many current and
widely held beliefs foisted on both consumers and health
care practitioners by the well-oiled, agenda-driven food
industry propaganda. Politically Incorrect Nutrition educates
the reader about the most current scientific realities of good
nutrition. Topics include: Is your green tea a cup of contaminants?
Over consumption of soy can upset your hormonal
balance; calorie-free artificial sweeteners can actually make you
fat; dietary cholesterol does not cause heart disease—eggs and
red meat may help prevent it; the truth about research on irradiation,
microwaves and plastic leaching; what most of us
don’t know about fluoride in our water supply; the need for saturated
fats in a healthy diet; a dozen ways a poorly planned
vegetarian diet can harm your health; whole food choices to
avoid the need for supplements; and tips for finding the diet
that works for you.
There is a battle of immense significance taking place today,
the outcome of which will affect the health of everyone in this
country. On one side we have the science of nutrition and the
art of eating. On the other side, the opponent is represented by
the science of politics and the art of making money. Michael
Barbee clears the air so we can see what the facts are.
