The Cancer Journals
Moving between journal entry, memoir, and exposition, Audre Lorde fuses the personal and political as she reflects on her experience coping with breast cancer and a radical mastectomy. A Penguin Classic First published over forty years ago, The Cancer Journals is a startling, powerful account of Audre Lorde's experience with breast cancer and mastectomy. Long before narratives explored the silences around illness and women's pain, Lorde questioned the rules of conformity for women's body images and supported the need to confront physical loss not hidden by prosthesis. Living as a "black, lesbian, mother, warrior, poet," Lorde heals and re-envisions herself on her own terms and offers her voice, grief, resistance, and courage to those dealing with their own diagnosis. Poetic and profoundly feminist, Lorde's testament gives visibility and strength to women with cancer to define themselves, and to transform their silence into language and action.

Cycle of Lives
Have you ever been forced to consider the fact of your mortality? If confronted with cancer, how would you feel? What would you say to the people you love? What would they say to you?No two people have the same answers to these questions, a lesson I learned well during a solo six-week, 5,000-mile cross-country bike ride I called Cycle of Lives. The trip started as a fundraiser in honor of my sister, June, who died of brain cancer. But long before I even set out on my endurance ride from L.A. to Florida to N.Y., I exhaustively interviewed fifteen people across the country whose lives had also been irrevocably changed by cancer--either as patients, survivors, loved ones, or caregivers.Hearing their moving stories, which were influenced by many different forms of past and present trauma, transformed my cycling odyssey into a journey of emotional self-discovery as I relived the chaos and emotional upheaval of cancer through them: from the man who found true love after losing his soulmate to cancer, to the elite athlete who had to reckon with his all-star body finally letting him down, to the medical oncologist who cares as much about her patients as she cares for them.Whether you or someone you care about is going through cancer or some other major trauma, I hope this thought-provoking collection of astonishing stories can help you, too.

Leonardo’s Legacy
Serious inconsistencies and scientific gaps plague current dietary recommendations, especially when it comes to cancer. Moreover, these recommendations crash head on with many traditional, ethnic, and cultural practices around the world. Until we openly address what led to these recommendations, the overwhelming impact of philosophical and religious beliefs over science, and the fatal inconsistencies that lie within, we will be unable to have a candid conversation about what we should eat to fight cancer. Did Leonardo, a poor shepherd from southern Italy, know this all along? Leonardo's Legacy is a first attempt to start this conversation.
A Lesson for Every Child
Learning was everything to Mrs. Emerson. So when a new student was brought into her classroom, Mrs. Emerson was delighted because she learned that this young man knew something that everyone needed to know. She said that Jack was just like everyone else, except for one thing - he had food allergies. "Would you like to explain that to us, Jack?" A bit hesitant, Jack began telling his classmates what it was like to have food allergies, what the dangers were, and what he had to do to protect himself, or even save himself if he had an allergic reaction. The students listened attentively and then applauded him when their teacher praised his courage. "Jack has faced a difficult situation and handled it. He is an example of someone who has tremendous self-discipline. Anyone who has that can do anything!" Jack left school that day with a new spring in his step and a classroom full of new friends.
Sharing the Burden of Sickness
In Sharing the Burden of Sickness, Jonathan Roberts examines the history of the healing cultures in Accra, Ghana. When people are sick in Accra, they can pursue a variety of therapeutic options. West African traditional healers, spiritual healers from the Islamic and Christian traditions, Western clinical medicine, and an open marketplace of over-the-counter medicine provide ample means to promote healing and preventing sickness. Each of these healing cultures had a historical point of arrival in the city of Accra, and Roberts tells the story of how they intertwined and how patients and healers worked together in their struggle against disease. By focusing on the medical history of one place, Roberts details how urban development, colonization, decolonization, and independence brought new populations to the city, where they shared their ideas about sickness and health. Sharing the Burden of Sickness explores medical history during important periods in Accra's history. Roberts not only introduces readers to a wide range of ideas about health but also charts a course for a thoroughly pluralistic culture of healing in the future, especially with the spread of new epidemics of HIV/AIDS and ebola.

It tells of how, while trying to help Bob when he was suffering from a bout of depression, they found in each other someone who 'spoke the same language': the language of a longing for freedom, for mountains and the great outdoors but also a desire to look beneath the surface and try to understand deeper philosophical matters such as the meaning life and death.Dementia Diary tells of how Ali Sinclair's love and life together with her partner was increasingly tried and tested by his growing vascular dementia: the difficulties, the occasional triumphs and frequent failures in the face of this illness affecting physical and mental health. It tells of the difficulties and practicalities of finding help so that she could still carry on working and spending time with her children until it was no longer possible.A number of fascinating stories intertwined with Ali Sinclair's poems often encapsulate her humour, her feelings and the frustrations around the daily struggles of living with someone with dementia.Dementia Diary is a very honest and personal story. In telling her story, Ali Sinclair hopes to help others who are going through a similar experience.
Defeating Dementia
"Defeating Dementia ... is a critically important account that should be read by the millions in the early stages of dementia, their caregivers, the many at risk for dementia, and the families searching for the very hope that McNear provides." Dale. E. Bredesen, M.D. Author of the New York Times Bestseller, The End of Alzheimer's. Do you hear yourself or someone you love saying the words, "I can't remember or "I don't remember" more frequently? Are you wondering if something seriously wrong may be starting to happen? Afraid to find out? Don't really want to know what's going on? YOU ARE NOT ALONE. In 2009, I began having serious problems with my memory. It took three years before I was diagnosed and in those three years our finances became a train wreck. I wouldn't admit to myself or anyone else that my mind was slipping. I was afraid, but more than that, I believed that even if I had dementia, there was nothing that could be done to help me. I thought dementia was irreversible and terminal. I was wrong. Thanks to a recent breakthrough in dementia studies and treatment, I am currently recovering from early onset Alzheimer's. That is correct. I am one of several thousand people in the United States following the recently developed Bredesen Protocol and, as a result, my memory and my life have been restored to order. In this book, I will take you on my journey and will tell you about the Bredesen Protocol that saved my life. I also provide helpful information for caregivers and outline the different kinds of dementia. I believe that, once you have read this book, you will feel empowered, whether you are facing dementia yourself or are caring for someone who is. You are not helpless. You are not alone. And, there is hope. I'm living proof of this.

Stress and Quality of Working Life
According to the American Institute of Stress (AIS), job stress is far and away the primary source of stress for American adults. The relationship between job stress and heart attacks, hypertension, and other disorders is well understood. Further, the cost of job stress in the United States is estimated to be over $300 billion due to outcomes such as accidents, turnover, and lost productivity. Perhaps the most consistent findings connecting job stress to health outcomes confirm that employees who perceive a high level of job demands without the appropriate control over job demands are at an increased risk for cardiovascular disease.In Brazil, the loss is estimated at 3.5% of the gross domestic product per year. Occupational diseases are related to the activities performed by workers and to working conditions and can trigger new or worsen already existing symptoms. Proper diagnosis and relevant information are essential for managers and workers to become aware of stressors and to take efficient measures to manage stress. Although quality of life is the responsibility of every individual, companies will definitely be able to benefit from the implementation of preventive actions, thus avoiding to pay a high price as a result of absenteeism, sick leaves, and drops in productivity and low work quality.This book is designed to be an additional tool to provide information and to suggest ways to deal with pressures and work demands, because stress levels are still on the rise. We believe that through information - and here you will be able to find the experience and opinions of recognized professionals in this area - workers will be able to live better and more balanced lives.

It's a raw, real, uncensored, (hopefully) uplifting journey through the battle against Triple Negative, Metaplastic Breast Cancer. WARRIOR explores the hard times, the weird stuff, real life, the small victories and the "What the fuck do I do now?".

Why We Get Sick
2020 Foreword Indie Award Honorable Mention in the "Health" Category A scientist reveals the groundbreaking evidence linking many major diseases, including cancer, diabetes, and Alzheimer's disease, to a common root cause--insulin resistance--and shares an easy, effective plan to reverse and prevent it. We are sick. Around the world, we struggle with diseases that were once considered rare. Cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer's disease, and diabetes affect millions each year; many people are also struggling with hypertension, weight gain, fatty liver, dementia, low testosterone, menstrual irregularities and infertility, and more. We treat the symptoms, not realizing that all of these diseases and disorders have something in common. Each of them is caused or made worse by a condition known as insulin resistance. And you might have it. Odds are you do--over half of all adults in the United States are insulin resistant, with most other countries either worse or not far behind. In Why We Get Sick, internationally renowned scientist and pathophysiology professor Benjamin Bikman explores why insulin resistance has become so prevalent and why it matters. Unless we recognize it and take steps to reverse the trend, major chronic diseases will be even more widespread. But reversing insulin resistance is possible, and Bikman offers an evidence-based plan to stop and prevent it, with helpful food lists, meal suggestions, easy exercise principles, and more. Full of surprising research and practical advice, Why We Get Sick will help you to take control of your health.
How I Defeated Death from Lyme and West-Nile
This book is not intended to be read like a novel but, as an inspiration, and encouragement on your journey towards a path of healing.And also, my hope is that, as you read through these pages, they will serve as a guide along your path to acquiring more balance on your journey towards a healthier you! You will also find why I've felt inspired for years to put in writing my answers to the questions people often ask me. After working in the Alternative Care World (as a massage therapist for a total of 16 years, in-which seven of those years includes working in an alternative care clinic), this is a work I feel needs to be out there for people who are looking for guidance concerning their health issues when their health care provider is not meeting up to their standards. For I am one of "those people" who happens to be very sensitive to the type of substances that are taken internally whether it is through "Holistic health care" or "Western Medicine" supplementation, and especially "holistic" supplementation in the form of IV's or injections, which I have been there and done that by having the opportunity to experience the "alternative care world," first hand it is what forced me to figure it out... about how an extra sensitive person such as myself was to Survive Lyme & West Nile! I also wrote this book for those individuals who are at wit's end (as I was) due to not knowing what direction to go next, and for those who haven't even heard about some of the alternative routes that are out there (other than the "big name" companies) due to not having the available necessary funding that is needed to support a clinic, and to make their voice heard through marketing strategies about their ideas and abilities to help ailing individuals in search of the best solutions concerning their medicinal needs. Then on the flip side... many of these "gifted healers" prefer to work alone in their quiet little unique offices.I have added charts I find very helpful for helping others as well as Self-help Techniques and Protocols for Parasitic infections, SIBO (Sm. Intestinal Bacteria Overgrowth), Lyme and West Nile Disease, along with instructions of how to help relax the ileocecal valve and simple acupressure points that may help with Headaches, Migraines, Insomnia, and helping to acquire the "feeling of wellness taking place."I will also share with you my personal experience with acugraphs (measures the energies of the meridians), and Live and Dry blood (microscopy) results.You will also find information on my inspired Nerve Tissue Release Technique (NTRT) and contact information about classes that Dr. Troy Crane (chiropractor practitioner) in Burley, Idaho, (who has been one of my mentors since I have received my Massage Therapy Certification) and I will be offering to those of you who would like to learn a technique that may possibly help your loved ones as well as yourself, who suffer from Illnesses, Pain, Headaches, Migraines, Sciatica, and possibly even pinched nerve damage, and may also help to release those tender acupressure points, that correlates with the issues listed above, with the intentions of helping you bring your body into balance, allowing it to heal on a grander scale.May All Your Days Be Blessed with Love, Peace, Health, & AbundanceKathy Gaa LMT, CBCP (license Massage Therapist & certified Body Code practitioner) I am petitioning all Body-Workers who have these skills, and who are "Passionately Dedicated" in helping and learning "my format" to help battle against Lyme & West Nile, you may send your business contact information to me. I will add you to a business directory on my website for the people who are looking for a Therapist in their area that uses the modalities listed above.Let's Work as a Team to Help Fightthe battle of pain and suffering from Lyme and West Nile.

The End of Alzheimer's
The instant New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestseller A groundbreaking plan to prevent and reverse Alzheimer's Disease that fundamentally changes how we understand cognitive decline. Everyone knows someone who has survived cancer, but until now no one knows anyone who has survived Alzheimer's Disease. In this paradigm shifting book, Dale Bredesen, MD, offers real hope to anyone looking to prevent and even reverse Alzheimer's Disease and cognitive decline. Revealing that AD is not one condition, as it is currently treated, but three, The End of Alzheimer's outlines 36 metabolic factors (micronutrients, hormone levels, sleep) that can trigger "downsizing" in the brain. The protocol shows us how to rebalance these factors using lifestyle modifications like taking B12, eliminating gluten, or improving oral hygiene. The results are impressive. Of the first ten patients on the protocol, nine displayed significant improvement with 3-6 months; since then the protocol has yielded similar results with hundreds more. Now, The End of Alzheimer's brings new hope to a broad audience of patients, caregivers, physicians, and treatment centers with a fascinating look inside the science and a complete step-by-step plan that fundamentally changes how we treat and even think about AD.
