A Caregiver’s Guide to Dementia
*New Edition with Updated dementia, dementia care, and resource information.*According to the Alzheimer's Association, there are more than six million people living in the United States have Alzheimer's disease or some other form of dementia. Not reported in these statistics are the sixteen million family caregivers who, in total, contribute nineteen billion hours of unpaid care each year. This book addresses the needs and challenges faced by adult children and other family members who are scrambling to make sense of what is happening to themselves and the loved ones in their care. The author, an experienced medical and science writer known for her ability to clearly explain complex and emotionally sensitive topics, is also a former family caregiver herself. Using both personal narrative and well-researched, expert-verified content, she guides readers through the often-confusing and challenging world of dementia care. She carefully escorts caregivers through the basics of dementia as a brain disorder, its accompanying behaviors, the procedures used to diagnose and stage the disease, and the legal aspects of providing care for an adult who is no longer competent. She also covers topics not usually included in other books on dementia: family dynamics, caregiver burnout, elder abuse, incontinence, finances and paying for care, the challenges same-sex families face, and coping with the eventuality of death and estate management. Each chapter begins with a real-life vignette taken from the author's personal experience and concludes with "Frequently Asked Questions" and "Worksheets" sections. The FAQs tackle specific issues and situations that often make caregiving such a challenge. The worksheets are a tool to help readers organize, evaluate, and self-reflect. A glossary of terms, an appendix, and references for further reading give readers a command of the vocabulary clinicians use and access to valuable resources.

Sicker, Fatter, Poorer
A leading voice in public health policy and top environmental medicine scientist reveals the alarming truth about how hormone-disrupting chemicals are affecting our daily lives--and what we can do to protect ourselves and fight back. Lurking in our homes, hiding in our offices, and polluting the air we breathe is something sinister. Something we've turned a blind eye to for far too long. Dr. Leonardo Trasande, a pediatrician, professor, and world-renowned researcher, tells the story of how our everyday surroundings are making us sicker, fatter, and poorer. Dr. Trasande exposes the chemicals that disrupt our hormonal systems and damage our health in irreparable ways. He shows us where these chemicals hide--in our homes, our schools, at work, in our food, and countless other places we can't control--as well as the workings of policy that protects the continued use of these chemicals in our lives. Drawing on extensive research and expertise, he outlines dramatic studies and emerging evidence about the rapid increases in neurodevelopmental, metabolic, reproductive, and immunological diseases directly related to the hundreds of thousands of chemicals that we are exposed to every day. Unfortunately, nowhere is safe. But, thanks to Dr. Trasande's work on the topic, and his commitment to effecting change, this book can help. Through a blend of narrative, scientific detective work, and concrete information about the connections between chemicals and disease, he shows us what we can do to protect ourselves and our families in the short-term, and how we can help bring the change we deserve.

TRAINING WIRES OF THE SOUL The Dead Saints Chronicles
DAVID'S BOOK TRAINING WIRES OF THE SOUL IS STILL IN PRINT!!! It is for sale through us at $18.99/$16.99 not the $39.99 trying to be sold through another seller on Amazon. DAVID SOLOMON passed away, April 18, 2016, leaving behind three books, including A Zen Journey Through The Christian Afterlife, published ten days before he died. It is an award-winning book that continues to break norms for a first-time self-published, deceased author. This second volume of three is the incredible journey of a writer's race against time with his wife, Delynn, assisting him along the way. Raw, intimate details he chronicles numerically while writing, working, and battling Glioblastoma terminal brain cancer. His goal is to reach the Chronicle 1101st, the day his daughter graduates.TRAINING WIRES OF THE SOUL, Just as a Bonsai is gently shaped by metal wires, the experiences, lessons, and guidance in our lives shape our soul. Journey with David as he recounts childhood adventures, family trials, and training with bonsai masters, tai chi, spiritual, and business mentors worldwide. He had a sincere belief the knowledge he shares will help others learn more about themselves the teachers in their lives, give hope to those who have a terminal illness, their families, and "not to fear death" or the afterlife."Quotes from inside this book: I never expected an early expiration date to be stamped on my life. Cancer, especially a terminal diagnosis, is like a near-death experience...profoundly affected my soul. When you are told you have a terminal illness, past events come under close scrutiny...how has your bonsai been pruned and styled? I wondered about the mask I wore during radiation therapy as a metaphor in my life. Zen Masters call our spiritual journey to find our True Self "The face we had before we were born."...The Greeks had it right when they used the word Hypocrite, meaning "actor."...we are often hypocrites playing a role, wearing a mask, rather than being "real." Our appointed time, while often a static point in the future...can be a moving target or a "window of opportunity," depending on whether or not we are "finished" with this life. It's the application of our free will that determines our final moments on Earth University. I need to find a way to survive until the 1101st day... To break the "death window" barrier, I needed at least a short term life extension from God. Absolute healing would be ideal, but a little more time to reach my goal would do. Job explains, "Surely I spoke of things I did not understand, things too wonderful for me to know." I had to take a moment to breathe.
Flying Against the Odds
"It takes a different kind of thinking to solve a problem than the kind of thinking that produced the problem." -Albert Einstein JJ HAD A DEVASTATING PROBLEM. At age fifty-one, he was diagnosed with stage four cancer and given three years to live. Rather than accept that outcome, JJ did what he always does: he set out to find a solution. Desiring to look beyond traditional treatments and their often harmful side effects, he put his unconventionally wired mind to work. JJ was relentless as he investigated alternative therapies and pursued global trailblazers in cancer research. Moving from the role of patient to patient-researcher, he became a trailblazer in his own right, being sought after for his latest findings. Ultimately, JJ brought together the most innovative international minds at the Rethinking Cancer 2017 conference in Paris. Together, they found common ground, and they continue to create integrative, synergistic approaches to treatment. Today, almost a decade after his diagnosis, JJ has defied the odds and is cancer-free. Recently retired from his career as a commercial airline captain on the Airbus A380, he now devotes himself to sharing his ongoing research with scientists and patients. JJ's story illustrates how looking at things differently often enables us to see them in a whole new light. "Captain Trochon is a true warrior, willing to fight like no other to win his battle against cancer." -Prof. Valter Longo, Director of USC Longevity Institute, Los Angeles

My Home Is In The House Of Cancer
In December 1996, I found that I had Stage 4 colon cancer. It was my Christmas gift. The cancer had spread to both lobes of the liver and I was given only four to six months to live ... closer to four. I didn't want to die. I had just turned sixty-eight years old and I was afraid. There was so much that I needed to do and certainly death, right then, was not one of them. It took me a while to develop a plan and I would learn that some of whether we live is up to us. From my point of view, we need to create strategies to augment medical treatment. We must fill our life with verbs rather than adjectives. It all began shortly before Christmas, twenty-one years ago. This is my story, and I am hopeful that some of my strategies will help others.
Fit For Business - Extended Edition
This newly updated and extended book will transform your ability to deal with stress and create a healthy balance at work.Enjoy "7 Steps to Natural Stress Relief" - my new free audio training course at: TheMentalHealthCoach.net- Did you set out in business to feel this stressed and tired?- Are you finding it difficult to get life and work into any sort of balance?- Are relationships with friends and family suffering?- Are you experiencing low energy and libido?- Are you unhappy with your body image and what that's saying to others?- Are you struggling with health challenges and concerned about the impact?- Do you feel stuck and just want some practical help to move forward?I wrote 'Fit For Business' to help others avoid the sort challenges I faced when ending up in a psychiatric hospital in 2006. Suffering from severe depression and contemplating suicide, I could find little practical help or support to deal with the problems I was facing. This book is a powerful and moving story of recovery, as well a formula for dealing with stress and depression. It sets out a simple 12-week programme of small changes that together help create a healthy work life balance without the need to resort to prescription drugs, which often have unpleasant and potentially long-term side effects. I also want to challenge the stigma associated with mental illness. For too long, chronic stress, depression and anxiety at work have been taboo subjects that people feel reluctant to talk about. Any help that is available usually focuses on attempting a quick fix, rather than long lasting prevention and a good work life balance. This book tackles the stigma head on and provides powerful methods for dealing with stress in natural, healthy and lasting ways.I look forward to being able to help you too. Andrew

Dead Epidemiologists
A history of COVID-19 and the sociopolitical crises that led to the 2020 global pandemic The COVID-19 pandemic shocked the world. It shouldn't have. Since this century's turn, epidemiologists have warned of new infectious diseases. Indeed, H1N1, H7N9, SARS, MERS, Ebola Makona, Zika, and a variety of lesser viruses have emerged almost annually. But what of the epidemiologists themselves? Some bravely descended into the caves where bat species hosted coronaviruses, including the strains that evolved into the COVID-19 virus. Yet, despite their own warnings, many of the researchers appear unable to understand the true nature of the disease--as if they are dead to what they've seen. Dead Epidemiologists is an eclectic collection of commentaries, articles, and interviews revealing the hidden-in-plain-sight truth behind the pandemic: Global capital drove the deforestation and development that exposed us to new pathogens. Rob Wallace and his colleagues--ecologists, geographers, activists, and, yes, epidemiologists--unpack the material and conceptual origins of COVID-19. From deepest Yunnan to the boardrooms of New York City, this book offers a compelling diagnosis of the roots of COVID-19, and a stark prognosis of what--without further intervention--may come.
Mama Is Still Here!
This book is for Alzheimer's patients, caregivers, and their loved ones. Alzheimer's is a fatal inflammatory degenerative brain disease that causes a gradual decline in brain activity. Over an approximate period of ten years, Alzheimer's patients progressively lose various forms of memory, culminating in a vegetative state before death. At each leg of this arduous journey, loved ones fall victim to Alzheimer's patients' loss of special memories, recognition, and simple blessings, such as smiles, acknowledgment, or a warm touch. In the early stages of Alzheimer's, symptoms are inconsistent and unpredictable, which makes diagnosis difficult. Once symptoms become more consistent and predictable, and the disease has progressed to moderate stages, brain function decline is noticeable and undeniable. My Mama, Daisy, has Alzheimer's disease. Mama was diagnosed once the disease had progressed to the moderate stage. Initially, learning Mama having Alzheimer's was unbelievable and inconceivable to me. I wanted to know the probable causes and available treatments. I wanted to learn as much as I could to better support our family's trial or fight with Alzheimer's. I was more than willing to go into battle for her. As I learned more about the disease and the unfortunate prognosis, I felt overwhelmed by fear and utter disappointment. The diagnosis seemed unfair to me because Mama had always taken good care of herself. She carefully monitored her diet and always incorporated exercise and activity into her daily routine. Mama lived by and believed in Benjamin Franklin's famous quote, "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure," and instilled it in her family. After the diagnosis, sometimes I would torture myself with the ultimate question, "How could this have happened to her?" Finally, I cried out to God in prayer. I asked God to remove the spirit of fear from my heart, to help me move forward, and to help me ride the waves of my overwhelming emotions. Through prayer and thanksgiving, I asked God for His peace and His wisdom for all things yet to come with Mama's Alzheimer's disease. As the head of my household, I also knew I had to be strong not only for my Mama but for my own family. I wondered if I would manage it all and divest my feelings from what to do for Mama's sake. Included in this book are collections of twenty-one stories reflecting upon Mama's life before and after her Alzheimer's diagnosis, along with Bible scriptures and prayers. Mama's storytelling entails the family's lineage, life on the family farm in Mississippi. The special memories promoted meaning, purpose, the pride of family, personal accomplishments, and exploration of simpler times. The twenty-one chapter's titles are famous Rhythm and Blues hits from the 1960s and 1970s. The chapters are subdivided into five sections: Song Facts, Flashbacks, Story, Scripture Help, and Prayer. The section labeled 'Song Facts' briefs the reader on the song's background information, such as release date and recording artist. I hope the 'Song Facts' will allow the reader to pause and reflect on the songs meaning and how it connects to the stories shared in this book. Next is a section titled 'Flashback' describing an event occurring before Mama's Alzheimer's diagnosis. I either used 'Flashbacks' to share a heartfelt moment with Mama before Alzheimer's disease or to develop empathy for the emotions Mama was experiencing in her times of distress and despair. Each chapter is concluded with scriptures and prayers. The scriptures and prayers are words of encouragement and words of challenging and inspiring thoughts centered on the Christian faith. I hope that the collections of scriptures and prayers I was inspired to include will help those confronted with the disease to move to a more peaceful acceptance and develop a greater understanding of the unparalleled world of Alzheimer's.

What You Don’t Know about Cancer Treatment
A well-rounded approach to cancer treatment increases the possibilities for survival and even reversing this dreaded illness. Addressing nutrition, emotional and physical health are essential components for a comprehensive and successful cancer treatment. Cancer is one of the primary causes of death in the United States along with heart disease. Attending the underlying causes of cancer, which could be related to lifestyle and environmental factor as well as a compromised immune system are essential to increase the success rate. Because cancer does not grow in isolation, the one size fits all approach of surgery, radiation and chemotherapy only, does not work in the long run. It is important for cancer patients to address every aspect of the disease to increase the possibilities of beating it as well as to have a better quality of life. In this book, the author, Gilda Gonzalez, shares her success story and current facts about the efficiency of holistic approaches to cancer treatment. Awareness, Education and Actions are three tree components for success.
