Imagine that there is an effective treatment for dozens of serious ailments-from cancer and Parkinson''s disease to headaches and depression. Now imagine that the government is preventing you from using it because it is derived from cannabis, a controversial herb. Marijuana is still looked upon by many as a social evil; yet, scientific evidence shows the compounds it contains can reduce, halt, and even reverse many serious health conditions. In HEALING WITH MEDICAL MARIJUANA, medical researcher Dr. Mark Sircus has written a clear guide to understanding the healing power of the cannabis plant. Although more and more states are legalizing medical marijuana, the controversy continues to block its use for many. For those who may be unable to obtain medical marijuana, this book will provide options that can offer the much-needed help they are seeking.

It is invisible, it is powerful, and it is life sustaining. It is oxygen. We inhale it every day of our lives, and while it makes up only 21 percent of the air we breathe, it is key to our very existence.

Dr. Sircus first looks at the nature of oxygen and its purpose in the body. He then provides an understanding of how inflammation works to destroy the body''s tissues over time, and how oxygen can reverse thisprocess. He examines the current treatments that use hyperbaric oxygen chambers as well as newer protocols that employ this vital element. In addition, Dr. Sircus offers a simple, safe, and highly effective fifteen-minute technique that can be used in the privacy of your home so that you can enjoy maximum benefits for a healthier life.If you are wondering why you haven''t heard about this "miracle" treatment before, the truth is that oxygen cannot be patented, it is not expensive, and you don''t have to be a specialist to use it. Without a tremendous profit behind it, it''s become a well-kept secret, but the facts speak for themselves. In this book, you will learn these life-altering facts¯information that could change your health for the better.

* Winner of the IBPA Benjamin Franklin Award for Best Health TitleIn the United States alone, 26 million adults have chronic kidney disease (CKD), and experts project that over half the country may develop CKD due to rising rates of disorders such as diabetes. While nephrologists can monitor kidney function and treat patients with medications, they can't always offer the nutritional guidance that every kidney patient requires. To fill this information gap, Dr. Mandip Kang has written The Doctor's Kidney Diets, a comprehensive guide to managing, slowing down, and even stopping the progression of CKD through diet.The book is divided into two parts. Part One provides a clear overview of kidney function, kidney disease, and the role that nutrition plays in the treatment of kidney problems. The doctor then reviews the special dietary considerations of individuals with CKD, including the need to limit certain nutrients, fluids, and other dietary components. Because different patients have different nutritional requirements, the doctor discusses the most commonly prescribed CKD diets--the DASH diet, heart disease and diabetes diets, diets for dialysis, and more--and concludes with important tips for enhancing overall health and maximizing treatment success. Then Part Two offers a wide variety of recipes for dishes that follow the dietary guidelines highlighted in Part One.Smart nutrition is essential to the treatment of kidney disease. With The Doctor's Kidney Diets, you can become an active, effective participant in your own treatment plan.

More than 4 million Americans are diagnosed annually with peptic ulcer disease. The resulting gastritis--inflammation of the stomach--causes heartburn, nausea, acid reflux, gas, and stomach pain. For years, relief from these symptoms came in the form of antacids, dietary changes, and, in some cases, surgery.

As a top academician in her home country of the former Yugoslavia, Mina Dobic led a privileged life. That all changed in 1987, when Mina was diagnosed with stage IV ovarian cancer that had metastasised to her liver, bones and lymph system. Mina''s doctors gave her only two months to live. She reviewed the literature and quickly realized that the chemotherapy and radiation treatment offered by her physicians was not a viable option. Instead, she did something remarkable: She decided to adopt the macrobiotic way of life. Six and a half months later, Mina Dobic was cancer free. MY BEAUTIFUL LIFE tells her story. The course that Mina Dobic and her family took is a modern odyssey that weaves together many of the critical issues of the last half century - the struggle between repression and a free society, the conflict between conventional medicine and holistic health and the forces that pull the modern family apart even as members strive to hold it together. During her journey to good health, Mina passed from cancer victim to cancer survivor, from patient to healer, from student to teacher. MY BEAUTIFUL LIFE not only eloquently explains how Mina recovered from cancer, but also details how cancer can be prevented through diet and a simple philosophy of living in balance with nature.
