Cancer’s Cause, Cancer’s Cure
The Environment Can Cause-and Cure-Cancer! Out of the labs of the prestigious Pasteur Institute came decades of research that unlocked the mystery of cancer at the DNA level. But we're only just now finding out about it- *Who kept these amazing discoveries from the public...and why? *How can you prevent this most dreaded of diseases that's both scientific and natural? *Is there a simple way to understand the science behind cancer and its cure? *Finally, here is the truth about how carcinogens really work at the DNA level to cause cancer and the story about how one dedicated microbiologist was determined to find a scientifically proven way to handle cancer that didn't kill the patient!
Addiction is Addiction
Treating Addiction as a personal failing or weakness is stigmatizing and doesn't work-not for those living with it, or for their loved ones. Understanding Addiction as a primary chronic brain disease allows us to see the symptoms and behaviours as they really are, and provide treatment programs that go beyond the stigma. Whether the Addiction involves alcohol, narcotics, gambling, food, or sex, it is vital to examine what is happening in the brain, not simply focus just on correcting a person's behaviour.This book looks at how treating Addiction as a disease can radically improve outcomes by using a holistic approach that balances the biological, psychological, social, and spiritual aspects of treatment needed for recovery. Whether you suffer from Addiction, know someone who does, or work in the healthcare field, Addiction is Addiction provides a comprehensive path to understanding, living with, and recovering from the disease.

Not in Vain, A Promise Kept
★★★★★ "Absolutely powerful, heartbreaking, and helpful!" - Reader Review"An unflinching chronicle of loss that takes a hard look at the state of medical care in the United States." (Kirkus)No diagnosis. No explanation from a doctor. No staging or prognosis. The beginning of eight months of nightmare.____One moment Melissa was in her mother's hospital room with her mother and sister, waiting for the results of a biopsy already four days overdue. The next: a nurse walked in with what looked like nuclear fallout gear and multiple IV bags to tell Melissa's mother, "Hello, Mrs. Burns. I'm here with your chemotherapy to treat your cancer."The tears started. The nightmare began, and then unwound over an eight-month period of necessary grief...and totally unnecessary suffering.In a real-world story that is all-too-relevant, Not In Vain, A Promise Kept chronicles, in terrible detail, the repeated failures of a broken health care system. Medical mistakes, poor communication, false hope. The helplessness of a woman watching her mother slowly die-and, far worse, suffering pain and indignities that did not have to happen and never should have: suffering brought on not by disease but by human error and medical mismanagement. Indignities that carved Melissa's mother away one small piece at a time until finally, it was just the two of them, holding hands late at night in the hospital with her mother suffering yet again another side effect of cancer, and a promise asked: "Tell them what happened. Tell them how to keep it from happening again." The promise was given. The promise is now being kept."This is a book that you will not regret picking up!" OnlineBookClub.org "Readers will cheer..."

Hygge
This book will offer advice and ideas on incorporating it into your own life as well as offer tips for every season on how to get comfy, relax, spend time with those you love and most importantly in living life. This book will show you how to experience more joy each day, the danish way!Hygge is sitting by the window on a rainy day with a cup of tea, it's cuddling on a sofa by the fireplace, it's is a feeling of home and love. Some of the things you will learn are: - Origins of the hygge tradition- The many benefits of living a hyggelig life- Bringing parts of hygge living into your life- Making hygge part of your food choices- Bringing the art of happiness into your personal life and relationships- Cozying up your work life- And much, much more!Hygge is a feeling, a state of mind, something that can help you to enjoy life rather than feeling stressed and overworked all of the time. It celebrates minimalism and enjoying the company you keep and the things that we already have rather than always trying to get more materialistic things. It is a big contradiction to what we find in the western world, but it may be just what we need to learn how to relax and enjoy the life that we have.
Living in the Labyrinth
Living In The Labyrinth is the story of how one woman found the strength and the courage to cope with a devastating disease that has afflicted five million Americans. Far from being an exercise in self-pity or a standard autobiography, this is an unflinching and ultimately uplifting look at a debilitating illness from the inside out. "Somewhere there is that ever-present reminder list of what I am supposed to do today. But I cannot find it. I attempt to do the laundry and find myself outside, in my backyard, holding soiled clothes. How did I get here? How do I get back?" Only forty-five when she first began to struggle with the memory lapses and disorientation that signal the onset of Alzheimer's, Diana Friel McGowin has written a courageous, stirring insider's story of the disease that is now the fourth leading killer of American adults. Diana's personal journey through days of darkness and light, fear and hope gives us new insight into a devastating illness and the plight of its victims, complete with a list of early warning signs, medical background, and resources for further information. But Diana's story goes far beyond a recounting of a terrifying disease. It portrays a marriage struggling to survive, a family hurt beyond words, and a woman whose humor and intelligence triumph over setbacks and loss to show us the best of what being human is. "A stunner of a book . . . it takes the reader on a terrifying but enlightening journey."--San Antonio News Express "Touching and sometimes angry . . . a poignant insider's view."--The Cincinnati Enquirer

Finished Business
When the car slowed down unexpectedly, I looked over. Diana was having a seizure. Our relationship was going through a tough time, but when she was diagnosed with brain cancer, we learned to love each other once again. I worked with hospice and our physicians to do everything that was best for her, and after she died, those of us left behind had to heal. I wrote this book, and it allowed me to move on with my life, something I am sure she would have wanted. Actually, this is the book I wish I had had at the time, and hopefully it will help others who are facing the same things.

Where Did You Go To, My Lovely?
Dementia is a particularly cruel and teasing disease for which there is no known cure. No vaccine... and no escape, once it takes a hold. My book is a personal, yet hopefully objective, and sociological, reflection on all aspects of caring for my much-loved Mum throughout the steadily worsening stages of her final (5) years of life... until the Dementia finally reeled in its 'prey.'If it makes a positive difference to just one sufferer, it will not have been written in vain.

Nanomedicine
Nanotechnology includes diverse fields of engineering and science and may be able to create many new materials and devices with a vast range of applications (in nanomedicine, nanoelectronics, biomaterials, energy production, consumer products, etc.). The effects of artificial nanomaterials on the human body have long been known, as many practical uses of nanoparticles go back a long time, but medical applications are of special relevance. As a medical application of nanotechnology, nanomedicine is focused on harnessing nanotechnology to effectively diagnose, treat, and prevent various diseases. It aims to efficiently deliver medications that have been reduced/minimized to the necessary dosages, and in the places where they are needed, it results in improved outcomes with less medication and less or no adverse reactions or side effects. In 1995, approval of the very first nano-therapeutic product (Doxil) is generally viewed as the dawn of nanomedicine for human use. In 2021, the COVID-19 pandemic created an urgent need for an effective vaccine. Nanotechnology played an important role in enabling the development of messenger-RNA vaccines that have since been administered worldwide and may provide a novel platform for vaccine designs. Biological processes, including the ones necessary for life and those that lead to cancer, occur at the nanoscale. Accordingly, nanobiotechnology provides us with the opportunity to study and manipulate macromolecules in real time during the earliest stages of cancer progression; the possibility of rapidly and sensitively detecting cancer-related molecules, enabling us to detect molecular changes even when they occur only in a small percentage of cells; and the potential to generate entirely novel and highly effective therapeutic agents. It also offers important benefits for diagnosis by providing new molecular contrast agents and materials to enable an earlier and more accurate initial diagnosis, as well as continual monitoring of cancer patients during their treatment. It offers the means to target chemotherapies directly and selectively to cancerous cells and neoplasms, guide in surgical resection of tumors, and enhance the therapeutic efficacy of radiation-based and other treatment modalities, all of which add up to a decreased risk to the patient and an increased probability of survival. Another promising application of nanomedicine principles is in clinical neuroscience, particularly in the treatment of neurological disorders (epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, etc.). While nanomedicine has not yet fully delivered on its promises, it remains an important new vista in medicine in the several instances covered in this book.

Automated Insulin Delivery
Automated insulin delivery goes by many names: hybrid or full closed loop; artificial pancreas system (APS); "looping" and more. They are not all the same, though. You have choices, ranging from the type of pump body and CGM you want to use, to the algorithm and controller, to the interoperability and remote monitoring options, and more. Like switching from multiple daily injections to an insulin pump, switching from manual diabetes to automated insulin delivery has a learning curve. It's certainly one you can tackle. After all, you're already tackling type 1 diabetes! You already have the base knowledge and experience you need to succeed with a closed loop system, if it's right for you. But you might be wondering how to get ahead of your learning curve before you start or even choose an APS, or you've started and want to dig even deeper into optimizing how an automated insulin delivery system fits into your lifestyle. This book was written for you! It leverages the collective knowledge of the early adopters of do-it-yourself and commercial systems from the past five years and packages it into easy, understandable guides and lessons learned.In this book, you'll find new analogies to help you understand - and explain - this new method of diabetes management, and tips on how to communicate with your healthcare provider(s) about it. You'll see stories and examples from real families and individuals living with type 1 diabetes and how they benefit from artificial pancreas systems, and why they chose and continue to choose to use them. You'll be empowered to understand the basic components of artificial pancreas systems, how they work, and what questions to ask as you peruse your choices now and in the future. This book also includes a foreword by Aaron Kowalski, President and CEO of JDRF, and co-founder of the JDRF Artificial Pancreas Project. "I will immediately recommend this book not just to people looking to use a DIY closed loop system, but also to anybody looking to improve their grasp on the management of type 1 diabetes, whether patient, caregiver, or healthcare provider." - Aaron Neinstein, MD (Endocrinologist, UCSF)
