Dr. Sarah Hallberg wanted to make a positive, lasting difference in her patients' lives. But when she collided with the chronically frustrating aspects of the American healthcare system - entrenched thinking, overreliance on meds, contentment to manage long-term conditions rather than seek root causes - she pursued a new way, and found it. At the weight loss clinic she led in Lafayette, Indiana, she discovered that the standard approach - a low-fat diet = weight loss and good health - had zero scientific support. Dr. Hallberg's clinic adopted a model of a low-carbohdrate, high-fat diet. Her patients lost weight. Those who also suffered from diabetes saw their condition improve or "go away." Over the next several years, Dr. Hallberg and her team embarked on a journey to study the health effects of the low-carb diet; their pioneering research led to their most crucial finding: Diabetes need not simply be managed but can be reversed by diet. While battling terminal cancer, Dr. Hallberg wrote this crucial, inspiring account of how we can all eat better to live better and longer. As important, this book - her first and last - is a searing indictment of what happens when we leave status quo thinking unchallenged, and how it impacts quality of life for us and those we love.

Instantly, my uncomplicated pregnancy had become complicated. It is our nature to feel fear, and in times of uncertainty when we don't immediately hear God's answer to our prayers, trusting Him becomes difficult. As Zuleyka knows, you can have the strongest relationship with Him but it could easily crumble when grief strikes, causing you to sink into a deep, dark depression. Grief is powerful, grief is scary, and grief can rip your confidence and light right out of you. But it doesn't have to destroy you. Follow Zuleyka as she lives through each stage of grief, suffers from suicidal thoughts, and comes out stronger than ever all through the power of God's love. In John 16:33 it says, "I have told you this, so that you might have peace in your hearts because of me. While you are in the world, you will have to suffer. But cheer up! I have defeated the world." (CEV) If you're in the suffering stage, hoping to get to the cheering stage, or you're in need of scriptural insight and power in your life, this book can help. Within: My Mind, His Word shares Zuleyka's story intermingled with chapters discussing Biblical verses and God's Truth to help you strengthen your relationship with Him. At the end, she helps you go through the stages of grief using God's Word. Yes, we have to suffer in this world. But that suffering doesn't have to last. You can come out stronger than before and find God's light within you.

The reader learns about the seeming coincidence of outstanding healthcare workers showing up as needed in different capacities-doctors, physical therapists, prosthetics, and specialized surgeons. But as Sharon points out, this is a God incident; not a coincidence.While the reader is introduced to many new things such as wound clinic, wound vac, hyperbaric chamber, phantom limb pain, caretakers etc., they are all wrapped up in related scripture and prayers. The ever-present fear of recurrent or new cancer is a lesson in how your faith doesn't eliminate fear, but shows you how to manage it. While there are multiple different concerns and needs, Sharon shows how they all condense to one belief "GOD is good"Hallelujah! And thank you, Sharon.Jeffrey W. Wilson, M.D.

In this practical guide, Sifu Peter Newton explains the principles and practices underlying the life-prolonging and health-enhancing methodology of the Earth Path and provides an easy-to-follow eight-step process to integrate this longevity wisdom into daily life. Sharing clear illustrations and instructions, Peter explores each of the eight steps in detail: Step one focuses on learning what causes premature aging and how to avoid it, sharing wisdom from Tai Chi and Qi Gong. Step two explores the importance of erect posture and the importance of thinking with a long perspective and flexibility. Step three looks at profound breathing to nourish the system with oxygen and movement. Step four reveals the secrets of longevity icons, including legendary Chinese figures and deities who grew old living according to Taoist doctrine. In step five, the author explores the rhythms of yin and yang, including how to work with their energies. Step six offers thoughts on "how to sit quietly," looking at the benefits of sitting and standing meditation. Step seven, "stirring the shen," introduces the notion of primordial shen, the root of life, which resides in the heart and can be circulated through the body to stabilize and center the mind. The final eighth step consists of eight mind-body Daoyin longevity exercises, which help you redirect and refine qi, the internal energy of the body. Revealing how the Earth Path of longevity is accessible to everyone, regardless of your physical ability or age, this guide shows how each of us has the ability to live a long and healthy life.
- Explores more than 400 species of lichens, alongside full-color photos - Shows the ways that indigenous peoples of North America have traditionally used lichens for food, clothing, dye, paint, and medicine - Explains in detail the scientific research behind the potency of lichen chemicals to heal many human conditions Lichens--a symbiosis of fungi, algae, bacteria, and yeast--can grow on nearly any surface and thrive in an extremely wide range of environments, from trees in old-growth forests, to hot deserts, cold polar regions, and even on the International Space Station. Used for millennia by indigenous people for food, clothing, art, and medicine, lichens are now being recognized by modern science for their unique medicinal potential against antibiotic-resistant bacteria, viruses, cancer, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. In this full-color illustrated encyclopedia, Robert Dale Rogers, RH(AHG), explores more than 400 species of North American lichens, detailing their traditional indigenous uses, mythology, chemistry, pharmacology, and possible healing applications, along with naturalist observations from the 19th and 20th centuries. He explains how lichens, along with mushrooms, molds, and yeasts, are members of the Fungi Kingdom and, surprisingly, more biologically related to humans than to plants. He looks at what types of lichens we can find in specific geographic regions and habitats and shows how lichens are an indicator species, revealing the health of their surrounding environment and neighboring life forms, including us. Interpreting modern research on the chemistry of lichens and showing how they can be used as powerful medicines, Rogers explores their chemical constituents, detailing each lichen chemical's healing properties, from easing coughs to inhibiting the proliferation of cancer cells. He reveals how pharmacological researchers often are rediscovering the ancient wisdom of lichens long known by indigenous peoples, such as how the Navajo use dried Xanthoparmelia for impetigo caused by Streptococcus. Showcasing the benefits as well as the beauty of lichens, this book reveals how lichens are the perfect example of strength, cooperation, and harmonious living.

Mauro Sr. takes readers on an emotional journey through the challenges of Frontotemporal Degeneration (FTD), a rare form of dementia. Unaware of this condition, both Anthony and numerous medical professionals struggled to accurately diagnose his wife, Carol, for over a year.As Carol's health deteriorates, and the couple grapples with the crushing loss of hope, intimacy, security, and shared memories that dementia brings, Anthony discovers a profound lesson on embracing life as it is, rather than yearning for it to be different.

It serves as a landmark work for understanding the emotional, physical, social, and financial strains endured by individuals who have loved ones with dementia, specifically Frontotemporal Degeneration (FTD). This deeply moving narrative is a valuable resource for anyone seeking solace and guidance while navigating the adversities of dementia care.
