The Sodium Bicarbonate Cancer Cure - Fraud or Miracle?
Cancer rates are rising world-wide, with a 2012 World Health Organization report stating that there were 14 million new cases every year with 8.2 Million cancer related deaths. These astronomical numbers make cancer a leading cause of death in the world, and with 1 in 4 deaths in the United States attributed to Cancer, it is the second leading cause of death in America alone. While the causes of Cancer vary from tobacco use to excess weight, one theory suggests the alkaline and acidity levels in the body also play a strong factor. High acidity is linked to poorer health conditions while a more neutral, alkaline level is associated with more favorable, even robust, health. Science is taking a hard look at ways to neutralize the rising acidity of people worldwide, with some studies looking to Sodium Bicarbonate, or baking soda, as a tool that can be used to increase the preferred alkaline state of the body. This guide explores the many uses and potential benefits of adding Sodium Bicarbonate to your daily diet; from how much to use, when to use it, how to ingest it, benefits and potential side effects, all questions are answered and explained in detail. Cancer may be taking more lives daily, but we may have a weapon against it... in our own kitchen cabinets.

The XX Brain
The instant New York Times bestseller! "In The XX Brain, Lisa meticulously guides us in the ways we can both nourish and protect ourselves, body and mind, to ensure our brains remain resilient throughout our lives."--from the foreword by Maria Shriver The first book to address cognitive enhancement and Alzheimer's prevention specifically in women--and to frame brain health as an essential component of Women's Health. In this revolutionary book, Dr. Lisa Mosconi, director of the Women's Brain Initiative at Weill Cornell Medical College, provides women with the first plan to address the unique risks of the female brain. Until now, medical research has focused on "bikini medicine," assuming that women are essentially men with breasts and tubes. Yet women are far more likely than men to suffer from anxiety, depression, migraines, brain injuries, and strokes. They are also twice as likely to end their lives suffering from Alzheimer's disease, even when their longer lifespans are taken into account. But in the past, the female brain has received astonishingly little attention and was rarely studied by medical researchers-- resulting in a wealth of misinformation about women's health. The XX Brain confronts this crisis by revealing how the two powerful X chromosomes that distinguish women from men impact the brain first and foremost and by focusing on a key brain-protective hormone: estrogen. Taking on all aspects of women's health, including brain fog, memory lapses, depression, stress, insomnia, hormonal imbalances, and the increased risk of dementia, Dr. Mosconi introduces cutting-edge, evidence-based approaches to protecting the female brain, including a specific diet proven to work for women, strategies to reduce stress, and useful tips for restorative sleep. She also examines the controversy about soy and hormonal replacement therapy, takes on the perils of environmental toxins, and examines the role of our microbiome. Perhaps best of all, she makes clear that it is never too late to take care of yourself. The XX Brain is a rallying cry for women to have full access to information regarding what is going on in their brains and bodies as well as a roadmap for the path to optimal, lifelong brain health.

The Silent War Within
This book includes the author's research conclusion that reverses the present medical practice to inhibit tumor growth.The author reveals that LDL cholesterol is likely a mutated fungal sterol that was horizontally transferred from parasitic fungi only to survive antibodies of the hosts yielding mutants, cancerous cells, and causing all types of autoimmune diseases. The author explains why vitamin D is not the target to create and why ergosterol and LDL cholesterol are the targets to destroy. This book is introduced as a landmark to inspire all people including cancer patients and healthcare providers about "cancer" which is misdiagnosed as flu or a cold in the beginning only to discover that the cancer is treated by antifungal properties in the end.The author discusses why Genetically Modified Organism (GMO) vitamins cause antibiotic or antifungal resistance and why GMO vitamins may exacerbate autoimmune diseases. This book discusses "causes and effects" and "possible treatments" of autoimmune diseases. This book discusses why the early signs of autoimmune diseases are ignored either by patients or by healthcare providers, how autoimmune diseases are initiated by a fungal mutation, why the autoimmune diseases respond to antifungal agents, and how curable diseases turn to incurable diseases.This book explains why fungal disruptions in human metabolisms result in "the various names of illnesses" and depicts the interaction between foods, human bodies, parasitic fungi, and sunlight. This book discusses how harmful acids are produced by the parasitic fungi, how alcohol (fungal urine) and tobaccos may chemically make more ergosterol or lanosterol in the hosts and how patients can repair their damaged cells by alkali metal foods (electron donors) and by photons from sunlight (electron donors).This book explains how cancer tumors and cysts can be treated, and how female patients can resume their menopause by electron donors such as sunlight, Far-Infrared (FIR) heat therapy, and alkaline foods. This book explains how pets can also avoid cancer (untreated fungal infection).The research data are based on medical biochemistry textbooks; published biology and biochemistry journals; books authored by scientists, medical doctors, and research teams; published clinical findings of medical schools and medical facilities; discoveries of NASA and other scientists; registered information of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA); and published civil cases.* This book is not a substitute of a medical diagnosis or a prescription.* Index was added.

Memories And Forgetfulness
Memories and Forgetfulness is a difficult story inspired by the author's family that focuses on loved ones with dementia. The story is told in two parts, Book One are Letters to Sarah and Book Two is a a story describing the author's interaction with his father. Both books describe the difficult tasks of caring for a person who is forgetful and provide anecdotes or sort stories about caregiving, love, loss and grief of relatives as they navigate with the person suffering from this debilitating disease. The stories told are riveting accounts of the interactions, told with humor, introspection and the serious business of finding the right mix of caregiving. It is a must read for those who find themselves as family members or those caring for patients with dementia. The first book in the series is called "Letters to Sarah" about my grandmother who developed dementia and my father's correspondence with his sister helping grandmother manage her disease. Later in the book, dad talks about his forgetfulness and how he is dealing with the onset of his disease until he is unable to write further. The second book entitled "Failing Memory," discusses the relationship I had with my father from the moment he tells me about his disease to his passing. In the end he is placed on hospice and I explain our agonizing decisions we made. I have been told the books are touching and the reader may need to keep tissues handy. I believe the books provide a glimpse into the day to day impacts of dementia on family members, caregivers and the person receiving care.Larry Calkins

Cancer Can Be Cured!
Father Romano Zago, a Franciscan Friar and scholar, wrote the book Cancer Can Be Cured to reveal to the world an all natural Brazilian Recipe that contains the juice made from the whole leaf plant of Aloe Arborescens and honey that has been shown to rapidly restore the body's health so it heals itself of all types of cancer. The book tells how it was while administering to the poor in the shantytown of Rio Grande dol Sul, Brazil that he and the provincial Father Arno Reckziegel, witnessed the healing of simple people of cancer who used this recipe. Later, when he had assignments in Israel and Italy where this aloe species grows naturally he continued to see great success in the chronically ill being cured when he recommended they use this recipe. This inspired for him to spend the next 20 years in researching the science behind this aloe species and the publication of that research in this book along with his numerous first hand anecdotes of cancer healing by those using the Brazilian
Physical Vascular Therapy - The Next Generation Of Medicine?
When we think of the circulatory system, we often picture the large arteries running to and from the heart. Yet what most of us don't consider is the microcirculation that also takes place inside the body. Microcirculation is the movement of blood through the smallest vessels; the Arterioles, the capillaries, and the venules. These tiny veins serve a huge purpose by delivering oxygen and nutrients to every part of the human body, yet they are easily susceptible to damage or disease and their size make them difficult to treat by conventional methods. Medical Science is making advances, striving to find solutions that will enable the treatment of these small vessels and the entire Microcirculation System, with one company discovering a technology known as physical vascular therapy. This book looks deeply into this revolutionary technology as well as what it means for the future of Medical Science, the Microcirculatory System itself and overall health. Topics: Microcirculation * Sectors of Microcirculation * The Regulation of Capillary Exchange * The Processes of the Microcirculation of Blood * The Bemer Signal * Vasomotion * Hypertension and Microcirculation
Mastering Diabetes
The instant New York Times bestseller. A groundbreaking method to master all types of diabetes by reversing insulin resistance. Current medical wisdom advises that anyone suffering from diabetes or prediabetes should eat a low-carbohydrate, high-fat diet. But in this revolutionary book, Cyrus Khambatta, PhD, and Robby Barbaro, MPH, rely on a century of research to show that advice is misguided. While it may improve short-term blood glucose control, such a diet also increases the long-term risk for chronic diseases like cancer, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, chronic kidney disease, and fatty liver disease. The revolutionary solution is to eat a low-fat plant-based whole-food diet, the most powerful way to reverse insulin resistance in all types of diabetes: type 1, type 1.5, type 2, prediabetes, and gestational diabetes. As the creators of the extraordinary and effective Mastering Diabetes Method, Khambatta and Barbaro lay out a step-by-step plan proven to reverse insulin resistance-the root cause of blood glucose variability- while improving overall health and maximizing life expectancy. Armed with more than 800 scientific references and drawing on more than 36 years of personal experience living with type 1 diabetes themselves, the authors show how to eat large quantities of carbohydrate-rich whole foods like bananas, potatoes, and quinoa while decreasing blood glucose, oral medication, and insulin requirements. They also provide life-changing advice on intermittent fasting and daily exercise and offer tips on eating in tricky situations, such as restaurant meals and family dinners. Perhaps best of all: On the Mastering Diabetes Method, you will never go hungry. With more than 30 delicious, filling, and nutrient-dense recipes and backed by cutting-edge nutritional science, Mastering Diabetes will help you maximize your insulin sensitivity, attain your ideal body weight, improve your digestive health, gain energy, live an active life, and feel the best you've felt in years.

Epilepsy
Epilepsy is an ancient disease that has fascinated and frightened scientists and laymen alike. Before we acquired a working knowledge of the central nervous system, seizures were shrouded in mystery. In antiquity, the disease was accredited to gods and demonic possession, causing those with epilepsy to be feared and isolated. Epilepsy patients continued to face discrimination through the mid-20th century. This discrimination ranged from lack of access to health insurance, jobs, marriage inequality, and even forced sterilizations. Despite the strides that have been made, there are still many misconceptions globally regarding epilepsy. While there has been substantial progress, more work needs to be done to educate people across the globe about the pathology of the disease, its causes, and mechanisms. Studies show that patients with epilepsy living in communities that understand the pathology and cause of seizures are generally more successful in social and educational environments. In this book, beyond current treatments that may include anti-epileptic drugs (also called anti-seizure medications), neurosurgery, neurostimulation, lifestyle modifications, and dietary changes, I will discuss the recent modalities of gene therapy, immunotherapy, and neutrophil therapy, and will outline more advanced research options, some of which remain to be pursued. I will also posit that the root cause of epilepsy is an autoimmune disease that had gone rogue, damaging the brain's normal functions and leading to neurodegenerative diseases, including epilepsy. Under this theory, the seizures are but the symptoms of that disease. Brain function being highly non-linear, it is not too surprising that anti-seizure/anti-epileptic drugs that assume a linear brain function have been only partly successful. In all these endeavors, the well-being of the patient is foremost, and that is why I will also include suggestions, recommendations, and available supporting resources for patients and their caregivers, how they can live and cope with their epilepsy, and what they can do about it.

Noncommunicable Diseases
Noncommunicable Diseases: A Compendium introduces readers to noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) - what they are, their burden, their determinants and how they can be prevented and controlled.Focusing on cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer and chronic respiratory disease and their five shared main risk factors (tobacco use, harmful use of alcohol, unhealthy diet, physical inactivity and air pollution) as defined by the United Nations, this book provides a synopsis of one of the world's biggest challenges of the 21st century. NCDs prematurely claim the lives of millions of people across the world every year, with untold suffering to hundreds of millions more, trapping many people in poverty and curtailing economic growth and sustainable development. While resources between and within countries largely differ, the key principles of surveillance, prevention and management apply to all countries, as does the need to focus resources on the most cost-effective and affordable interventions and the need for strong political will, sufficient resources, and sustained and broad partnerships.

The Longest Goodbye
Are we ever ready to say goodbye? She looked out into the yard sprinkled with spring dandelions. "Yellow flowers," she said, searching for her words. We knew something wasn't right.

And now, looking back, it's been almost a decade of slow loss and drawn-out grief as we slowly let go of our beautiful mom. In the middle of it all, though, we have learned to look for hope and chase down joy, discovering that, in spite of our pain, there are always gifts to be found, even on the hardest of days.Alzheimer's disease affects almost fifty million people worldwide. It touches people across every walk of life. So, how do millions of people figure out how to love as they let go? The Longest Goodbye is a collection of stories and moments not just about the clinical side of memory loss-but the emotional heart journey. It is a story that shows how joy and grief are often intertwined and wrapped up together in the glorious mess of life. The Longest Goodbye encourages readers to remember the ones they love while they are still here and to intentionally celebrate and live through the pain and hard days. It's filled with tears, hope, and bitter-sweet moments all held together by the beautiful love of a mother and daughter holding onto a life filled with memories, while learning to let go and say goodbye.

"Losing a parent is one of life's most difficult moments and, in some cases, a difficult season. Shelly's heartwarming, poignant, personal account of her decade-long journey of saying goodbye to her mom who suffered from memory loss will be a source of comfort and hope to anyone going through a similar experience." Carey Nieuwhof Bestselling Author, Speaker, and Host of the Carey Nieuwhof Leadership Podcast "In The Longest Goodbye, Shelly gives us hope and help to navigate when a loved one faces memory loss. Shelly shares her decade-long journey watching her mother decline with Alzheimer's disease. Through heartfelt stories and reflections, she gives her readers a glimpse into the pain of seeing a loved one slowly fade away while at the same time looking for hope-filled moments along the way. Shelly expresses how joy and pain can co-exist and where to look when everything feels lost. And most of all, her experience shows how the bonds of family and unconditional love carried her through. This book isn't about the clinical part of the disease; it's about the heart and how to hold on through all the seasons of memory loss." Kevin ScottAuthor, Leadership Expert, and Co-founder of ADDO "It's much easier to write fiction than to share a hard, human story of love and loss for others to read. Shelly has brilliantly authored pages that share the hard and the good of loving someone fiercely, while losing them slowly to Alzheimer's. Shelly is both honest and honoring with her words as she draws the reader into the journey of the one thing she feared most-her mother's diagnosis and slow decline due to Alzheimer's. Shelly's words paint a stunning picture of a brave and tender response to human suffering. Be moved in the reading of this beautiful remembrance."Cathie OstapchukAuthor of Brave Women, Bold MovesCo-Founder and Lead Catalyst for Gather WomenHost of The Strong Way Podcast
I Was Healthy Until the Day I Wasn’t
I Was Healthy Until The Day I Wasn't chronologues the journey of the author through his cancer treatments, from the initial diagnosis of non-Hodgkins lymphoma through multiple chemo regimens and relapses, a stem cell transplant and finally remission. Written at first as blog entries over a period of 4 months, it also focuses on the people - the caretakers, the physicians and health care workers and mostly the patients - whose lives and experiences became inexorably entwined with his own. The stories of other patients' circumstances motivated the author to turn the blog entries into a full-length book. So inspiring are their stories, each shedding light on the disease itself, the bravery and courage, the strength and the stamina to continue fighting, sometimes against seemingly insurmountable odds. There are as many books written about cancer and its treatment as there are types of cancer. No two experiences are the same. Each person has to choose his own path. And how he or she proceeds is a very personal choice. Even not choosing is a choice in and of itself. Cancer patients are an elite group, a band of brothers and sisters who share their experiences, who bolster each other in times of need and who lean on each other for support despite those differences. This book highlights their stories and makes clear that while they endure the indignities of this disease, they are not invisible. They exist. They need to be heard.

Dementia (Memory Loss)
Dementia (memory loss) or loss of cognitive skills has become a major health concern for older individuals. In 2021, 6.2 million Americans aged 65 years and above were living with dementia, and the numbers are said to only increase in the future. Since the current preventive recommendations have failed to have any significant impact on reducing the incidence of dementia, 'Dementia (Memory Loss) - How to Prevent and Improve Treatment' By Kedar N. Prasad will allow doctors and researchers to collect more data for in-depth research on how the treatment of dementia can be improved and made more impactful.The book is educational, well-researched, and eye-opening for patients with dementia and for doctors to learn how to improve the patient's memories. It focuses on the early damages caused by this disease and how a comprehensive mixture of micronutrients can also reduce the progression and prevent and improve memory loss, and paves the way for further research to develop improved treatments for dementia. It has the potential to work as a guide for scientists and researchers on how to make the treatment for this disease bearable and positive.
