The Shrinking Brain
Since 1950 there has been a steady increase in mental ill-health across the population. At the same time, there has been a similar steady decline in IQ. There is strong evidence of 'dumbing down' right across society. If this is allowed to continue it will be the greatest threat to the sustainability of the human race, even greater than the more visible threat of climate change. The Global Mental Health Crisis is a direct result of the fact that, over time, the actual size of our brains is getting smaller. This is a historical fact but is entirely reversible with better brain nutrition. This has now reached crisis proportions.In 2023, The European Brain Council recognised that "Brain Health conditions have become a global health emergency". Back in 1972, Graham Rose wrote in the Sunday Times "Unless action is taken to care for the nutrition of the brain 'We will become a race of morons!' Authors Michael A Crawford and David E Marsh have both devoted their lives to this vital area of research. This book is their legacy. In painstaking detail, they put the case of how to reverse the Global Mental Health Crisis. With greater awareness of the problem, its cause and the solution required to make a change, their message could not be clearer. By reading this book you will not be able to say, "We didn't realise".This book may contain complex research and the result of detailed research, but the message is simple. And so is the action we all need to take.We also explain the role of the environment in the evolution of the brain, leading to early Homo sapiens with a brain capacity of over 1,600cc, and explain why it is now only 1,366 cc and mental ill-health is escalating. The concepts in this book have been fifty-one years in the making. They can't wait any longer. There is no more time. Presented with these incontrovertible facts, it does not need a rocket scientist to work out what will happen if these dumbing-down trends continue! Fortunately, solutions are available which will lead to brighter and healthier children of the future.

Degenerative Disc Disease
Degenerative disc disease is a condition that can cause pain in the lower back and legs. It occurs when normal changes that take place in the discs of your spine cause pain. The discs are cushions between the vertebrae, and they help to absorb shock and keep the spine flexible. With age, the discs begin to degenerate or break down. This can lead to several problems, including pain, stiffness, and loss of mobility. Degenerative disc disease is a common condition, and it is most often seen in middle-aged and older adults. Treatment typically involves analgesics or anti-inflammatory medications. In severe cases, surgery may be necessary. While there is no cure for degenerative disc disease, there are several things that you can do to manage the pain and other symptoms. One of the most important things that you can do is to maintain a healthy lifestyle. This includes eating a healthy diet, exercising regularly, and maintaining a healthy weight. In this quick start guide, we will give you a 3-step plan for managing degenerative disc disease through diet and other natural remedies. Specifically, we'll discuss the following in detail: ● What causes degenerative disc disease?● What are its symptoms?● How is it diagnosed?● What are the treatments for degenerative disc disease?● What are the risk factors for degenerative disc disease?● The potential 3-step plan for managing degenerative disc disease.● How to manage DDD through natural remedies?● How to manage DDD through diet?● Living with degenerative disc disease.

The Eye and I
This book is a story book about the eye. After some 60 years in eye research and clinical work in ophthalmology there have been many instances, where I remember patients and their problems, a book I read or a place that I traveled. This book has 30 chapters and the only thing they have in common, other than all having the same writer is that all have something to do with the eye or eye associated structures such as the eye muscles.None of the chapters are meant to be clinical reports; all are stories and I have tried to keep the text understandable.Some chapters have pen drawings, but for a number I could not think of appropriate illustrations and they consist of just text. All are relatively short, easily read in an evening. Some feature bugs, blister beetles, fleas and lice or other microorganisms that might affect the eye or the tissues around it. Other chapters play away from the U.S., such as Saudi-Arabia, Grenada and Komodo Island.
Biologic Dentistry and a Better You
People all over America enjoy some of the best dental care in the world. We enjoy the expertise of 201,927 actively practicing dentists in the US.Many of us create long-term, family-wide relationships with our trusted dentists and have enjoyed some new technologies along the way. We are all beginning to hear about innovations in dentistry and discoveries about the relationship of dental health to overall well-being.What if we thought about dental health as the foundation for physical health?WebMD notes that "up to 91 percent of patients with heart disease have periodontitis, compared to 66 percent of people with no heart disease. The two conditions have several risk factors, such as smoking, an unhealthy diet, and excess weight. And some suspect that periodontitis has a direct role in raising the risk for heart disease."These new ideas and evidence-based innovations are bubbling up all over the country, and we call this biologic dentistry. That can mean many things, so we need to sort out the evidence-based innovations from the hopeful theories. __________________________ American Dental Association, Health Policy Institute, https: //www.ada.org/resources/research/health-policy-institute/dentist-workforce#:: text=Dentist%20workforce%20FAQs, dentists%20per%20100%2C000%20U.S.%20population, accessed July 27, 2022. Joanne Barker, WEB MD, Oral Health: The Mouth-Body Connection, https: //www.webmd.com/oral-health/features/oral-health-the-mouth-body-connection, Accessed July 27, 2022. These new ideas and evidence-based innovations are bubbling up all over the country, and we call this biologic dentistry. That can mean many things, so we need to sort out the evidence-based innovations from the hopeful theories.One of America's top champions of biologic dentistry is Dr. Robert Herzog, a general dentist with twenty-five years of experience practicing in Albany, NY. As a trained and gifted engineer who later completed training as a general dentist, Dr. Herzog has made a passion out of sorting out the best innovative new processes and tools.He wants to educate people on what they should know but perhaps don't know yet.Dr. Herzog's new book Biologic Dentistry and a Better You constructs a well-engineered bridge you can safely traverse to a place to better look at the marvels of holistic dentistry. You can stop and absorb the original new ideas rushing to meet you. You can move closer to your horizon and consider some carefully curated holistic ideas about biologic dentistry and its impact on your total health.Dr. Herzog offers a fascinating view of the mouth-body connection and the danger most of us face with mercury amalgam fillings. Many of us have different and dissimilar metals in our mouths, which can create microcurrents and, consequently, brain fog.He champions cleaner methods, safer extractions, 3D x-ray CT imaging, ozone and lasers, solutions for jaw disorders, better breathing and sleep, the lymphatic system, retaining wisdom teeth, and discusses newly revealed dangers of root canals.Biologic Dentistry and a Better You helps us visualize our family's dental health from a new perspective. It's not just about teeth anymore. Medical science now embraces the electrifying realization that the body is deeply interconnected. When something isn't right, it often shows up in the mouth. "

Vaccines and CMV Reactivation
The mRNA COVID-19 Vaccines may be inducing a short-lived temporary immunosuppression allowing cytomegalovirus (CMV) to become reactivated in some people in very rare cases. This reactivation of the cytomegalovirus can in rare circumstances cause myocarditis and Guillain-Barr矇 syndrome and a host of other ailments. The cytomegalovirus is highly ubiquitous in nature and common in people of all ages and is the cause of chickenpox and mononucleosis in adolescents. After infection, CMV remains dormant in the body of most humans throughout their lives, but can become reactivated during immune suppression. A decreasing CMV susceptibility with men older than 45 may be the reason why rare cases of myocarditis is happening in younger people who have taken the mRNA vaccine. CMV susceptibility increases between the ages of 16-45. Treatments, medications, and even vaccines can temporarily suppress the immune system and cause CMV reactivation. This is however very rare, but should be looked into as a possible cause of rare instances of myocarditis and Guillain-Barr矇 in those who have taken the COVID-19 mRNA vaccine.

Fundamentals and Possibilities in Anti-Tuberculosis Vaccination
Since the end of World War II, BCG has almost exclusively held the stage in discussions of the problem of protective vaccination against tuberculosis. Yet inoculation with BCG is not the only method by means of which an immunity can be induced even in tuberculosis. It is also true that opinions by no means agree as to the value of BCG vaccination; particularly in the field of veterinary medicine an almost entirely unfavourable evaluation of the procedure has recently prevailed. As a result BCG vaccination is no longer accepted to such an emphatic degree today. Investigations with the objective of improving or replacing the method are claiming greater attention, especially in Germany.In the monograph the authors present a review of current problems in the field of vaccination in tuberculosis, and correlate the extensive experimental and clinical material including the work published in recent years. At a time when new developments seem to be making headway, this account will provide a useful summary of information and a basis for further work.
Heritage
Convinced that there is a need for a book in paediatrics that is neither a classical text nor a handbook, but a guide in the management of paediatric problems, the authors have compiled this book for the use of general practitioners, interns, and students. In it they present an orderly investigation of situations which may confront the doctor, stressing the urgency of early diagnosis for which specific treatment is available. Major problems are discussed, and although no attempt has been made to describe all neonatal disease, some of the rarer entities are included, since early recognition is important for successful management. The book beings with "Care of the Full-Term Baby," and then discusses the major problems of new-borns. A chapter on "Congenital Abnormalities" reviews the main disabilities that can be prevented or treated during the first month of life. Some chapters include definitions of terminology; some present physiological, aetiological, and pathological considerations; but all are organized so that the practical aspects of management are readily apparent. There are sections dealing with procedures and with dosages of drugs, including antibiotics.The readable, practical nature of the text, and the chronological organization of the investigative procedures will make this book useful to the general practitioners who are responsible for such a large percentage of paediatric care. It will be helpful, too, to the medical student and to paediatricians, who will find it a readily available source of initial reference for the major neonatal problems.
