A Fresh Take on Ergonomics
"As someone who has suffered for decades with an old whip lash injury, I finally have the tools needed to control the pain and repair the damage. Some of these tools are basic, but were never mentioned by the many doctors I have seen over the years. Betsy Oldenburg, a nationally certified therapeutic massage/bodywork therapist with over 30 years of experience shared those tools and techniques with me when I was referred to Integrative Therapies. Because I had such a positive experience, I arranged a Lunch and Learn (Feel and Look Great Despite your Computer) for my co-workers. We had approximately 30 in attendance ranging in age from 20's to 60's. Everyone in the room benefited from Betsy's expertise and warm, approachable style. Several volunteers were lucky enough to experience hands-on treatment/techniques. I would recommend Betsy's presentation to any organization that has employees who suffer from neck and back pain. It is amazing how one hour with the right person can both educate and motivate employees toward a healthier work style". Jane Milanese

Your Fourth Choice
Author John Clifton begins with the story of his wife, who was diagnosed with Stage Four lung cancer. The bad news came on Christmas Eve, 2012. The prognosis from the oncologists was bleak. But Clifton decided to explore natural treatments. After all, there was nothing to lose. After sifting through tons of purported "remedies" and "cures," he came upon information about something called "paw paw." It was an extract from an American tree. To his surprise, this little-known treatment had been thoroughly studied and tested- for THIRTY YEARS! The success rate was amazing, and even more startling was that so few had ever heard of it. His wife started to take the paw paw capsules along with her standard (palliative) treatment. In less than a year she was cancer-free. Clifton wanted to scream - here was something remarkable, with a proven track record, and yet nobody seemed to know about it, and how it had extended - and even saved - so many lives. Instead of screaming, he wrote this book. He filled it with crucial information, case histories and scientific studies, dosage information, even included a chapter on veterinary use - and made it all understandable and readable. Paw paw is not a strong poison like chemotherapy drugs, but instead acts upon cancer cells to inhibit their ability to produce the energy they need to replicate. Paw paw even kills multiple drug resistant cells that chemo is powerless against. The volume is thoroughly documented and referenced, with a complete index. Clifton has also included natural remedies that complement paw paw, and tells the reader how to avoid unwanted side effects. Simply a "must" for anyone fighting cancer.

The New Testosterone Treatment
Written by the leading authority on hormone receptors and prostate cancer, this book reveals the surprising truth about how you can prevent and treat breast cancer, prostate cancer, and Alzheimer's with testosterone and other FDA-approved drugs.For decades, doctors have sought to combat prostate cancer under the mistaken assumption that testosterone fueled its growth. But the latest research into the nature of hormone receptors and therapies using bioidentical instead of synthetic hormones have caused a shift in thinking and new hope for treating this cancer with testosterone. Today the medical profession equates a diagnosis of Alzheimer's with a death sentence. In fact, the only thing doctors do is throw ineffective drugs at it and resign themselves to failure. For the first time, this book explains how testosterone can halt the disease and cure early-stage Alzheimer's. Similar breakthroughs for fighting breast cancer follow close on the heels of these revelations, outlining how the avoidance of synthetic progestins and the use of aromatase inhibitors are crucial tools in prevention and treatment. At the core of this book is the remarkable observation that we experience our highest hormone levels during our teen years--a time of life when there is no breast cancer, prostate cancer, or Alzheimer's. Could bringing hormones back to teen levels be the key to vibrant good health? The answer is a resounding yes. This thoroughly researched guide to the latest biomedical research is must-reading for medical professionals and anyone concerned about their health.
