The immune system is a scapegoat for a variety of ills in this wide-ranging but tendentious guide to approaching diseases
like lupus, Crohn's disease, MS, and rheumatoid arthritis. The author argues that autoimmune disorders, in which a malfunctioning
immune system attacks healthy tissues, are caused or triggered by environmental toxins, especially heavy metals and free radicals.
Drawing on his experience treating patients for the above disorders as well as chronic fatigue syndrome and autism, he recommends
a variety of unconventional regimens to purge toxins from our bodies and surroundings, including chelation therapy, herb,
vitamin and anti-oxidant supplements, an organic diet free of additives and allergens, sauna and massage, and the systematic
use of air and water filters. Edelson provides detailed information in chapters covering specific autoimmune disorders, but
his claims of a "fantastic" treatment record for some of them rely on anecdotal case studies of diseases that sometimes
go into spontaneous remission. By the tenets of "clinical molecular medicine," he claims, "I don't need to
know the specific autoimmune disorder a patient has, because the label doesn't matter." Since no specific disease label
need be applied, such widespread and indeterminate "symptoms" as "fatigue," "depression," "muscle
and joint pain," "frustration," "sparse hair," "brain fog" and "general malaise"
can be construed as signs of the immune dysfunction.Moore

An informative and absorbing read for both medical practitioners and their patients, What Your Doctor May Not Tell You
About Breast Cancer takes aim at "the breast cancer industry" with a barrage of thought-provoking ammunition.
The book is equal parts criticism and suggestion. Current health treatments, including HRT, receive serious condemnation,
and authors John Lee and David Zava carefully provide plenty of medical research to back up claims that excessive estrogen
is a main source of cancer-causing irregularities. While the names of all the different natural and synthetic hormones can
get overwhelming for the lay reader, with perseverance your new vocabulary of terms like androstenedione, estradiol,
and cortisol will enable you to communicate more effectively with your doctors. The authors credit these hormones
not just with a role in cancer, but with culpability for everything from insomnia and acne to fatigue and migraines. A full
chapter extols the virtues of natural progesterone cream, and urges women to order their own saliva tests for proper evaluation
of their hormone levels. Diet and exercise recommendations are simple, outlining reasons to limit fats, sugars, and meats
while increasing vegetables and adding a multivitamin. These recommendations extend to adolescents and urge getting off the
couch and beginning a gentle exercise program to women of all ages and in each stage of life. Moore

Almost half of all American children today are diagnosed with autism, ADHD, allergies or asthma, an "undeniably epidemic"
statistic that physician Bock (The Road to Immunity) and author Stauth (Brain Longevity) use to launch an investigation into
potential causes of and treatments for these conditions, while demonstrating Bock's unusual approach through numerous case
studies. According to the authors, genetics "load the gun, and environment pulls the trigger": bodily toxins like
heavy metals, exposure to viruses through vaccination and poor nutrition create "a veritable perfect storm of physical
and neurological insult" that hits hardest those still developing their immune systems. In case studies, Bock approaches
each patient like a puzzle waiting to be solved, a refreshing, multi-pronged strategy to healing: finding and treating the
root cause of illness rather than its symptoms, reducing the body's toxin load and helping the body heal itself through nutritional
and medical therapy. Empathetic and encouraging, this highly readable guide breaks down complex biomedical concepts clearly,
keeping frustration at bay.Moore

When NBC’s Katie Couric put colon cancer awareness on the map by having a colonoscopy done on the Today show, Pochapin
was her family specialist. The gastroenterologist cared for Couric’s late husband and is now Medical Director of the
Jay Monahan Center for Gastrointestinal Health, which is dedicated to her husband’s memory. In this practical, conversational
volume, the doctor contends that, when found early, colorectal cancer can be cured 90 percent of the time. He gives a comprehensive
overview of the disease, detailing its causes and risk factors as well as the foods and life-style changes that can help prevent
it. For those already diagnosed, Pochapin also provides an easy-to-follow guide to surgery and treatment options, clinical
trials and recent advances in research. (Handy explanatory charts throughout the book help readers to digest all this information.)
Above all, however, Pochapin champions colonoscopy screenings. "Please don’t let your apprehension, anxiety or
embarrassment rule your common sense," he pleads; colonoscopy screenings are the best weapon against America’s
second deadliest cancer. Unlike a mammogram or PAP smear, the test can both discover and remove cancer-causing polyps before
they become problematic—yet most patients undergo the test too late to take advantage of its extraordinary effectiveness.
An estimated 150,000 Americans will be diagnosed with colorectal cancer this year alone, and 57,000 of them will die from
it. This clear, compassionate book is an invaluable all-in-one resource for those who want to prevent, or are currently confronting,
the disease.Moore

Also called myomas, fibromyomas, or leiomyomas, fibroids develop from a single smooth muscle cell in the uterus and vary in
size and shape. They affect as many as 80 percent of women, of whom one in four will have symptoms serious enough to cause
her to seek medical advice and treatment. These two practical, easy-to-read guides offer information on the different types
of fibroids and the options for treating them. In Healing Fibroids, Warshowsky, a practicing obstetrician/ gynecologist and
director of the Women's Program at Beth Israel Hospital's Center for Health and Healing in New York, and Oumano, a certified
yoga teacher and bodywork practitioner, combine Western medicine and holistic methods to point the way to optimal health and
the avoidance of surgery. After a brief look at surgical procedures and the relationship of hormones and the menstrual cycle
to fibroids, they devote chapters to diet, supplements, herbal remedies, exercise, emotional healing, and the effects of environmental
toxins, especially xenoestrogens. Skilling, a marketing executive and writer in New York, wrote her first book, Fibroids:
The Complete Guide to Taking Charge of Your Physical, Emotional and Sexual Well-Being, when she was first diagnosed with fibroids
and could find little information on the subject. She also explores the role of diet, exercise, and emotional well-being in
managing fibroids. Arranged by day for the first week after diagnosis, by week for the first month, and by month for the remaining
11 months, the chapters are each divided into two sections, called "Living" and "Learning." The "Living"
sections deal with issues and problems, while the "Learning" sections explain the more technical aspects of fibroids.
Skilling provides practical tips, such as how to chart the growth of the fibroid and what to wear when you leave the hospital
should you need surgery. Readers will find information on current research and medication, the pros and cons of various types
of surgery, and hints on diet and lifestyle changes, including exercise and stress management. While both guides are useful,
Skilling's arrangement is superior. Her table of contents provides good access points, and the glossary, selected resources,
and list of bibliographic references are a definite plus. Moore

My book will assist you in natural non-drug solutions to heal and repair damage from prescription drugs, years of health depleting
dietary choices, and chemically induced immune system disorders. It’s surprising how many symptoms stem from leaky gut
and toxic liver syndromes. No, leaky gut is not a dinner table topic, but will soon become a household word. This increasingly
common disorder is not well known in traditional medicine, rarely tested for, and much less understood. Leaky gut syndrome
is the disease of the 21st century. The gut houses over half the body's immune and detoxification system, therefore, an unhealthy
gut is what holds back many people from ever getting well. It doesn’t matter what your diagnostic label is, if your
gut isn’t healthy, your body cannot repair. This syndrome will soon be as widely discussed and written about as colon
cancer, menopause, prostate disorders and arthritis. Moore

Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) is a sexually transmitted disease that is known as "the silent killer" because its symptoms
are so ambiguous most people don't know that they have it. A proven precursor to cervical and penile cancer, HPV can be deadly
if left untreated. With 70 strains of the virus in existence, HPV is widespread and-since condoms don't protect you-it infects
over one million people per year in the United States alone. WHAT YOUR DOCTOR MAY NOT TELL YOU ABOUT HPV AND ABNORMAL PAP
SMEARS will raise awareness about this disease, as well as irregular pap smears, and provide much needed information and support
for those infected, including self-exams that can be done at home. Moore

Northrup (Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom), cofounder of the Women to Women health-care center in Maine, offers a celebratory,
"psychospiritual" approach in her comprehensive guide to menopausal health and well-being. Beginning with the premise
that, though difficult, the "hormone-driven changes that affect the brain... give a woman a sharper eye for inequity...
and a voice that insists on speaking up," Northrup details hormonal imbalances, mood swings, serious illnesses, treatment
options and all the other symptoms, side effects and decisions women face in midlife. Middle-aged herself, Northrup writes
from experience and, more important, from her professional expertise as a physician who has treated many women and researched
menopause. While much of the health-care material here is available in other sources, Northrup's approach a description of
symptoms, followed by both traditional and alternative treatment options along with some anecdotes is particularly useful.
Occasionally she veers off into New Age jargon, but she is a firm believer in the relevance of tangential influences on physical
health, including emotional and financial well-being. The specific medical advice on sleep, diet, breast health and the empowerment
motif will bring insight, comfort and confidence to women embarked on "the change."Moore

Dr. Airola presents several testimonies of patients who received long term relief. The reason being, that these institutions
are treating their patients with "Biological Medicine." He explains that biological methods are treating the person
not the disease. Biological medicine tries to go to the root of the problem and give the body a chance to restore itself at
the cellular level. Biological medicine agrees more with the first principle of the art of healing, which Hippocrates states
as "Primum est nil nocere" - that treatment must not harm the patient. Moore

In Natural Hormone Balance for Women, Beverly Hills obstetrician-gynecologist Uzzi Reiss makes it clear that he believes
in hormone replacement therapy for women, but not the "chemicalized hormonal substitutes" usually prescribed. "I
emphasize natural hormones that are precise replicas of your own hormones," he writes, which can increase energy and
memory, decrease symptoms of menopause and PMS, improve skin and mood, and enhance sleep, sexuality, and well-being. But neither
the widely used hormonal medications, such as estrogens derived from horse urine, nor the "natural" hormonal products
derived from soy or yams replicate the hormones produced by a woman's body. Rather, he recommends a natural estrogen formula
balanced with natural progesterone, both available through compounding pharmacies (with a doctor's prescription).Moore
