Largely dismissed by the medical profession, the increasing incidence of candida-related health problems has been called 'the silent epidemic'. All of us have the yeast organism candida albicans in our bodies. It is only when the production of candida gets out of control that there are problems - recurrent thrush, chronic fatigue, mood swings, headaches, indecisiveness, memory loss, insomnia, muscle ache, abdominal pain, constipation, loss of sexual desire - are just a few of the common symptoms that indicate that candida overgrowth may be present in the body. Identifying trigger foods is the key to combating the problem. But where do you start? This book includes a complete Candida Maintenance Programme and features delicious and easy recipes from leading cookery writer Michelle Berriedale-Johnson.

There is no such thing as a panacea diet to suit every digestion. Each one of us comes into the world with our own individual set of generic strengths and weaknesses, which we tend either to capitalise on or undermine through food fads or preferences. Good health and its maintenance depend on our ability to assess the state of our digestion and to select and prepare foods that are appropriate to that state.These simple truths form the cornerstone of Gudrun Jonsson's new book The Gut Reaction Eating Plan. It demonstrates that it is possible to enjoy a delicious and broad range of foods against a background of what may seem to be chronic difficulties with digestion - simply by recognising your problem and eating only what is best for you. The book is packed with mouthwatering recipes that are coded to tie in with the many and varied eating plans, as well as tips for overcoming colds and hangovers. It even suggests how you can stay better once you are better.

Published research now supports the fact that menopausal symptoms can be overcome without having to resort to HRT, and in a way which still offers protection from both heart disease and osteoporosis in the long term. Despite this, the alternative approach is not widely known and is certainly not widely practised. Over the last thirteen years, the WNAS has pioneered an exceedingly simple, workable and enjoyable programme to help alleviate symptoms of both the perimenopause and the menopause, no matter how severe. This includes making specific dietary changes including adding to the diet those foods that are rich in phytoestrogens; taking nutritional supplements; moderate weight-bearing exercise and a regular relaxation programme. Cruising Through the Menopause explains this programme clearly and also describes the pros and cons of taking HRT so that women everywhere can make informed choices about how they wish to tackle the menopause. It also includes numerous menu plans as well as over 80 delicious recipes.

Leaving Dirty Jersey is the compellingly crafted tale of James Salant's descent into crystal meth addiction. Written at the age of only twenty-two, this memoir chronicles his year-long addiction with complete honesty and heartbreaking candour. Brought up in a stable, middle-class family, the second son of two therapists, he was introduced to heroin at seventeen by his brother Joe. This resulted in a spell in rehab where he met a bunch of ex-convicts, and he soon fell into the thuggish, drifting lifestyle of meth addiction. It was to take a near-psychotic event to finally get him to clean up.With graphic descriptions of life on crystal meth - the insatiable sex drive, the paranoia, the desperate need for more drugs to sustain the high - James' writing mimics the emotional detachment of the drug and the wired yet aimless life it induces. His voice is so open and authentic, it is hard to believe he is still so young. Given the nickname Dirty Jersey, while living as a tough guy-junkie in California, James had it tattooed on the inside of his left arm. There it remains as a graphic and permanent reminder of his past life as a junkie.

I don t have any .Using a mixture of famous and ordinary people, Oliver James drills deep down into the childhood causes of our individuality, revealing why our upbringing, not our genes, plays such an important role in our wellbeing and success. The implications are huge: as adults we can change, we can clutch our fates from predetermined destiny, as parents we can radically alter the trajectory of our childrens lives, and as a society we could largely eradicate criminality and poverty.Not in Your Genes will not only change the way you think about yourself and the people around you, but give you the fuel to change your personality and your life for the better.

'Matron smiled. It was the smile that one woman gives to another and not the chilly facial movement from Matrons of old. "e;Do you think you would be able to work 9 to 3.30?"e; For a moment I couldn't think at all. There seemed something not quite right in being paid for so little labour.'At the end of the Second World War, as husbands came back to Civvy Street their wives had the luxury of staying at home with the children. For a short while at least. Soon Evelyn realised she had to find part-time work to make ends meet, and to her astonishment she was offered part-time hours at her old hospital.The day-to-day job hadn't changed much, but she was now a nurse and mother. Whooping cough and measles could still kill a small child, and the early '50s polio epidemic left the whole country in shock.But the nurses worked hard, moaned incessantly about their aching feet and yet found things to laugh at, just as they did from the start of their training. If old soldiers never die, then neither do nurses.

Collected here for the first time are the remarkable and moving stories of the 27 British recipients of the Hero of the Holocaust award. During one of the darkest times in human history they refused to stand by and do nothing; risking their lives to save Jewish friends, or complete strangers. And yet many of their stories have been forgotten.Frank Foley, a British spy whose cover was working at the British embassy in Berlin, took huge risks issuing forged visas to enable around 10,000 Jews to escape Germany before the outbreak of war.Jane Haining refused to come back to Scotland and leave the Jewish orphans in her care in Hungary. When they were sent to Auschwitz she was transported with them.Louise and Ida Cook were sisters from suburban London. They used their love of opera as a cover to take daring trips to help Jews escape Nazi Germany and Austria right up until the outbreak of war.Ten British POWs hid and cared for young Hannah Sarah Rigler when she escaped from a death march, having been forced to leave her mother behind. All those whose stories are collected here were ordinary people, acting on no one's authority but their own, who found they could not stand idly by in the face of such great evil. Written by acclaimed Holocaust historian Lyn Smith, Heroes of the Holocaust is a moving testament to the bravery of those whose inspiring actions stand out in stark relief at a time of such horror.
