Chemical Exposures
by Nicholas Ashford & Claudia Miller

Chemical Exposures: Low Levels and High Stakes explains how day-to-day variations in chemical exposure may cause unusual and seemingly unpredictable symptoms, including many that have been termed psychosomatic in the past.

Eat Right for Your Type
by Dr. Peter J D’Adamo, Catherine Whitney (Contributor)

If you’ve ever wondered why the latest fad diet doesn’t work for you… well, there are lots of reasons, mostly the fact that it’s a fad diet. But it could also be that you’re the wrong blood type for the kinds of foods the diet recommends. Peter D’Adamo makes a persuasive argument that your blood type is an evolutionary marker that tells you which foods you’ll process best, and which will be useless calories. He covers the entire range for each of the four blood types, from entrées to condiments and seasonings, and also makes type-specific exercise and lifestyle recommendations.

 

Healthy Living in a Toxic World
by Cynthia E. Fincher, PhD

We are surrounded by chemicals – many of which are toxic and can cause us serious harm. Sure, we know not to mix bleach and ammonia when cleaning the bathroom, but what about the chemicals we’re not even aware of? Healthy Living in a Toxic World is not about retreating from life and living in fear of the unknown. It’s about being healthy and staying healthy. Dr. Cynthia Fincher provides readers with a framework to understand the neurotoxic chemicals we encounter everyday and their effects, as well as the regulatory and political forces that allow their dangers to perpetuate. She also explains how we can reduce our use of chemicals – thus reducing the risk of their damaging effects in our lives.

 

Homeopathic Remedies
by Asa Hershoff, ND, DC

Homeopathic Remedies begins by explaining what homeopathy is – its underlying principles, its view of disease, and its emphasis on symptom observation. It then discusses how homeopathic preparations should be used – how that are made, how their potency is measured, and how they should be taken. This is followed by a unique section called the A-to-Z Prescriber. Here you will find over one hundred different ailments listed in alphabetical order – from abscess to memory loss to wrist conditions. On each left-hand page, a specific condition is explained, the possible homeopathic approaches are discussed, and dosage information is provided. The opposite page provides further information on each of the remedies, helping you choose the one that is right for you based on your specific symptoms.

 

Is This Your Child?
by Doris J. Rapp M.D., F.A.A.A., F.A.A.P.

In this breakthrough book, Dr. Doris Rapp offers a simple yet effective approach to handling “problem” children. Is This Your Child? shows parents how to identify the common foods, chemicals, or common allergic substances that could be the culprits that cause some children or adults to feel unwell or act inappropriately. If your child is always sick, hyperactive, a slow learner, or cranky, the first question you should ask is not “What drug should be prescribed?” or “What have I done wrong as a parent?” Instead, find out the cause.

Dr. Rapp gives sensible suggestions about how these reactions to foods and environmental factors can be recognized, prevented, and treated. With this information, many affected children should feel, act, behave, and learn better. If you can detect unsuspected environmental illness in your child–or yourself–you can change your lives so you’re more content, happy, and free of illness.
