Preventing Cancer
Welcome to a journey of exploration into the science of energy, health, nutrition, molecular, and body cell physiology. You will understand how food and nutrition produce the fuel that runs the human body and recognize the foods that keep a person healthy and free from disease. My book contains information vitally needed to prevent cancer. It explains how cancer patients can improve their health, even if they get conventional cancer treatment with chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery. The book is divided into two sections. Section I contains information and discoveries that are the foundation for preventing and curing cancer. It also explains the foundation for body nutrition, including how energy and healthy intestinal bacteria are the foundation for excellent health. God gave us food to produce energy, but he didn't explain what food does or how the body converts and processes food. More importantly, God didn't tell us how food is utilized in the body. This first section of the book will do that. Section II shows us how the body uses food to produce energy and food that will cause disease. It lists the foods producing good health and the foods that produce bad health.The second section (Section II) of the book contains information on 54 food choices, good and not good foods, nutrients, and supplements that produce energy in your body, poor health, and disease. These good and not-so-good food choices determine the health of your intestinal bacteria, body cells, blood, and organs. Section II lists more than 54 of the most common foods, nutrients, and supplement groups. It shows the energy values in food that produce great energy and food that produces little or no energy. The food, nutrient, and supplement groups have been graded on a scale from 10 (great and good energy) down to one (poor or no energy). I also list the magnetic food value, pH, and energy value, plus the nutrition value for keeping good health. Hippocrates (c. 460 - 370 BC) said, "Let thy food be thy medicine, and let thy medicine be thy food." This is especially true in preventing or helping to cure cancer.

Medical Medium Thyroid Healing
Experience the epic truth about your thyroid from the #1 New York Times best-selling author of the Medical Medium series Everyone wants to know how to free themselves from the thyroid trap. As the thyroid has gotten more and more attention, though, these symptoms haven't gone away--people aren't healing. Labeling someone with "Hashimoto's," "hypothyroidism," or the like doesn't explain the myriad health issues that person may experience. That's because there's a pivotal truth that goes by unnoticed: A thyroid problem is not the ultimate reason for a person's illness. A problematic thyroid is yet one more symptom of something much larger than this one small gland in the neck. It's something much more pervasive in the body, something invasive, that's responsible for the laundry list of symptoms and conditions attributed to thyroid disease. Discover the real reasons and the healing path for dozens of symptoms and conditions, including: ACHES AND PAINS; ANXIETY AND DEPRESSION; AUTOIMMUNE DISEASE; BRAIN FOG AND FOCUS; CANCER; EPSTEIN-BARR VIRUS; PREGNANCY COMPLICATIONS; FATIGUE; MONONUCLEOSIS; FIBROMYALGIA AND CFS; HAIR THINNING AND LOSS; HASHIMOTO'S THYROIDITIS; HEADACHES AND MIGRAINES; HEART PALPITATIONS; VERTIGO; HYPERTHYROIDISM; HYPOTHYROIDISM; MENOPAUSAL SYMPTOMS; MYSTERY WEIGHT GAIN; SLEEP DISORDERS; TINGLES AND NUMBNESS

My Pink Journey in Black and White
A message from the AuthorLife is just not fair, I thought, when I was diagnosed with breast cancer on June 06, 2005. I had never been sick in my adult life, not even a severe cold.I was in the middle of planning my wedding for July 02, 2005, which was suppose to be an exciting and joyous occasion, yet now the only thing I could think about was breast cancer and will I live or will I die. The life I had planned was now being shattered. I knew nothing about breast cancer. The remote conversations I had engaged in were generally, limited, hushed and daunting. Therefore my diagnosis was governed by confusion, fear and anger which led to quick decision making with unfamiliar choices. There were many times I felt misunderstood. These feelings guided me to a place of loneliness and isolation, even when I was surrounded by those that loved me.During this time of vexation, I returned back to my special place of consolation..."journaling." I began journaling as a teen and considered this to be my personal and private time. This was a time for me to write about special moments, and occurrences. I would frequently reflect on previous entries in my journal. Doing so enabled me to assess my mental growth and my overall development as a person. Journaling always served as a genuine self- evaluation tool. During my breast cancer journey, journaling became my greatest support. I would write my feelings and thoughts and hide my deepest fears. Journaling gave me comfort in knowing my inner feelings would not be judged, or compared to others. Journaling taught me to be a better listener and also how to gently love myself back to a position that would enable me to reconcile with myself and sometimes even with God, that same God that I found myself at times questioning him about my predicament . Now eight years later, I decided to compile the entries from my journal into the form of poetry, memoirs and short stories. These excerpts reveal moments of frustration, and fear that made me strong, as well as moments of confusion, that made me seek knowledge. This knowledge I use today, in communities, and with newly diagnosed cancer patients, to heighten their awareness about risk factors and breast health. These excerpts also help patients during those moments of doubt; when they ask questions such as... "Is it normal for me to feel this way, and does others feel the same way?" remember... there is no right or wrong, everything is "Trial and Error" especially when you are in a place of despair. A Breast Cancer Dictionary is a part of the book, to familiarize you with words and there definitions as you attempt to understand a breast cancer diagnosis. About the authorLinda's choice of treatment during her journey was a modified radical mastectomy with delayed stacked DEIP Flap reconstruction. She participated in a five year clinical trial for node-negative breast cancer; she then proceeded with genetic testing. Linda is deeply committed to Breast Cancer Awareness in the community. She serves as a volunteer with American Cancer Society, and serves on a number of ministries at New Psalmist Baptist Church, in Baltimore, Maryland. She is an active member with "Sister's Network Inc.' In a masterful way she captures you with a wealth of information, in the form of poetry, short stories and memoirs, which will turn you from fear to fearlessness.

Use Your Head, Heal Your Heart
As a fit and active 51-year old, with low cholesterol and no obvious risk-factors, I experienced a near fatal heart attack.I was fitted with a stent and prescribed a life-sentence of medication, that contained a long list of terrible side effects, and was told that the chances of another heart attack were quite high.Confused, scared and frustrated at the position I found myself in, I decided to learn as much as I could about heart disease.What I have discovered along my journey to recovery, is that most of what the general public believe about heart disease is incorrect, and is actually harming their health.Worse still, many doctors and the mainstream media continue to prescribe and promote medications, dietary and lifestyle interventions that either don't work or lead to further health complications. Use Your Head, Heal Your Heart is the accumulation of knowledge I have gained from numerous books, scientific journals, clinical trials and medical papers, broken-down into simple language, and outlining the lifestyle interventions that you can take, to prevent or recover from heart disease.

Reaching for Normal
When Amy and Dave learned that their six-month-old daughter, Emily, was diagnosed with a slow-growing brain tumor, they were devastated. Throughout her childhood, they managed their daughter's complex cancer, all the while striving just to be an ordinary, normal family. In doing so, Amy kept her emotions close and plastered on smiles, some genuine, as she worked in between cancer clinic appointments, had another baby, and attended cul-de-sac potluck dinners. The smiles were harder to put on when Emily suffered from a massive stroke just before her 8th birthday. Amy suddenly found herself a parent to an active toddler and an almost eight-year-old who could no longer talk, walk, or feed herself. Emily's spirit remained shockingly unscathed. In the end, it was she who reminded the family to laugh, smile, and finally accept that they were anything but ordinary. This memoir of motherhood at its hardest reveals what went on behind closed doors and beneath the smiles, as Amy writes in raw, honest detail about her relationship with her spouse, juggling work demands, raising her typically developing son, and finding lasting friendships throughout each of Emily's setbacks.

High Triglycerides Diet
Based on the gathered results from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from 2001-2012, 25.1% of adult Americans aged 20 and older have increased triglyceride levels (>150 mg/dL) during 2009-2012.Although this was lower than the 33.3% prevalence in 2001-2004, it is still alarming given the current lifestyle of Americans which involves consumption of mostly processed and fast foods, and a sedentary lifestyle that contributes to increased prevalence of obesity. Increased triglyceride levels are said to be related to cardiovascular diseases such as heart attack, heart failure, and stroke. And according to the Harvard Medical School, having high triglyceride levels may be an indication of a metabolic syndrome such as diabetes and pancreatitis. Because of the complications associated with high triglycerides, it is recommended that those with high triglyceride levels engage in beneficial lifestyles such as increasing physical activities, losing weight, quitting smoking, and having a balanced diet. However, it is difficult to monitor if you have high triglyceride levels because having this condition does not entail visible and characteristic symptoms. There are no recorded symptoms specific for having high triglycerides alone. The only way to know if you have high triglycerides is through a blood test that will assess your lipid profile.Now, you may have already started wondering about what triglycerides are exactly? And how does it affect your overall condition? These questions will be answered throughout this guide. But to give you a hint: it is a type of lipid that can be found in our bodies performing an array of functions.In this guide, you are expected to learn more about the following: - What are triglycerides?- What are the functions of triglycerides in your body?- What is considered normal levels of triglycerides?- Why is it bad if your triglyceride levels are high?- What can you do to manage to have high triglycerides?

Preserving Brain Health in a Toxic Age
Learn how to reduce the impact of environmental toxins on brain development, functioning, and health. The human brain is a marvelously complex organ that has evolved great new capabilities over the past 250,000 years. During most of that period, daily life was vastly different from our lives today. Exercise was not optional - one literally had to run for one's life, livelihood, and sustenance. The Stone Age diet was not a fad, but the only food available. Periods of fasting arose from food scarcity, and hence the earliest keto-diet was commonplace. Life changed greatly with the advent of agriculture and industry. Diseases that were previously unknown or uncommon began to surface as by-products of civilization's advance. Changes in our ways of living have altered the nature of illness as well as its diagnosis and treatment. From the 1970s to the present, tens of thousands of chemicals with applications in all aspects of our lives have grown more than 40-fold. Exposure to these new substances has impacted many aspects of our health, especially the delicate parts of the brain and nervous system. In parallel with the changes in our environment, we have seen the growth of brain disorders including Alzheimer's Disease and autism in previously unimaginable ways. Here, Arnold Eiser elucidates some features of diseases affecting the nervous system that are increasing in incidence with a focus on those disorders that appear related to environmental toxins that modern life has introduced. He takes readers behind the scenes of the science itself to discover the human stories involved in the discovery and management of these illnesses. Offering insights from a variety of scientific disciplines, Eiser clearly and succinctly illustrates the impact of toxins on our brains and how we might better protect ourselves from negative outcomes. With interviews from leading authorities in the field of neuroscience, environmental toxicology, integrative medicine, neurology, immunology, geriatrics, and microbiology (re the gut microbiome), this book offers a robust understanding of the complex threats to our brains, and the healthy brain's dependence upon many other systems within our bodies. This is a voyage of discovery into the science, history, and human struggle regarding disorders challenging the brain as well as their possible prevention.
Experts Catastrophe
This book is not for those who just want to be told what to believe. Rather, it is designed to demonstrate to the reader what is the genuine expertise and what is not. And to empower them to discern for themself what is true expertise rather than false. With 36 graphs and hundreds of scientific references, this information-crammed book seeks to guide the reader to answers to crucial questions such as the following. How can you distinguish real expertise from false? How can you tell who are the real medical experts? How do people become experts anyway? How do some get recognised as experts, and others not? Does that expertise-recognition process actually make sense? Or could it actually be severely flawed? Why are many senior science people so critical of medical research? Is "peer review" a useful indicator of competence? Is it safest to just follow what the most senior professors say? Why were no safety studies published of the non-gamma-2 amalgams now contained in millions of people's teeth? This unique book (written before the Covid pandemic) shows for the first time: - How millions of people in the US, UK, and elsewhere have had health and lives devastated by pseudo-evidence-based healthcare promoted by officially-designated experts (causing mainly non-autistic disabilities). The system of evidence-defying untruths issuing from official experts to deceive victims and cover up this catastrophe. How the science bureaucracy's system of "peer-reviewed" journals suppresses scientific truth and talent rather than advances it. How the fact of this medical catastrophe of pseudo-expertise has itself been kept censored by the cheap false excuses of the anonymous unaccountable so-called peer-review system. Why brain-changing air pollution has caused moral and cultural-social transformations, including the revolution of some longstanding attitudes. Practical ways you can distinguish life-saving genuine expertise from death-threatening official charlatanism. The institutional changes needed to end the failures both of health systems and of systems of scientific publication and promotion. Robin P Clarke is uniquely-qualified to write on these matters, having authored a number of notable medical scientific papers including the definitive unfaulted theory of autism, with numerous confirmed predictions, and yet unusually having no conflicts of interests (commercial, institutional, career). And with far too much direct personal experience of how the medical "expertise" system actually works in grim practice.

Illness is a universal experience. There is no privilege that can make us immune to its touch. We are taught to assume health, and to view illnesses as a temporary breakdowns in the well-oiled machinery of the body. But illness has its own geography, its own laws and commandments. At a time when the attention of the whole nation is focused on health care, Kat Duff inquiries into the nature and function of illness itself. Duff, a counselor in private practice in Taos, New Mexico, wrote this book out of her experience with chronic fatigue syndrome, but what she has to say is applicable to every illness and every one of us. For those who are sick, this book offers solace and recognition. For caretakers, it offers inspiration and compassion. Finally, this fresh perspective on healing reveals how every illness is a crucible that tries our mettle, tests our limits, and provides us with an unparalleled opportunity to integrate its lesson into our lives. "The Alchemy of Illness is pure heart-talk, a path back to the soul, an honoring of all that we are. Kat Duff is a very wise woman, and her incandescent book is sheer poetry." -Larry Dossey, M.D. "Illness becomes numinous in Kat Duff's strong telling. With words etched in pain and beauty she carries us into a passion play as potent as it is strangely healing. Quite simply, this is a masterpiece." -Jean Houston "A lovely book, beautifully written, full of insight, and an excellent correction of our society's usual soulless way of dealing with illness. If medical schools would listen to the message, we'd have a revolution in health care." -Thomas Moore
