Adrenal Fatigue
James L. Wilson
This is an incredibly informative and reader-friendly book about a common debilitating medical condition that goes largely undiagnosed and untreated. ADRENAL FATIGUE: The 21st Century Stress Syndrome is a very empowering work cram-packed with vital information about a condition that very likely affects millions of people.
Chronic Fatigue
Chronic Fatigue
It doesn't take long to recognize that Dr. Poesnecker understands Adrenal Fatigue/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome inside and out. His many decades treating this one condition made him a leading expert in the field. This caring, compassionate doctor believed the two causes are hereditary weakness of the glandular system and overwhelming, unremitting stress.
Generally, the two overlap. Those born with a strong and vital adrenal gland are capable of handling almost anything Life can throw at them while those with a poorly functioning adrenal gland will increasing lose the ability to function productively in our stress-filled society after a triggering stressful event. History, symptoms, treatments, lifestyle adjustments and patient responsibilities/attitudes are all addressed in this comprehensive book.

Fat and Appreciation of a Misunderstood Ingredient
Fats
According to Jennifer McLagan, not only is our fat phobia overwrought, it also hasn’t benefited us in any way. Instead it has driven us into the arms of trans fats and refined carbohydrates, and fostered punitive, dreary attitudes toward food that wellspring of life and pleasure.
Life Without Bread
By Christian B. Allan Ph.D.
Diabetics are often told to eat exactly what they shouldn't - carbohydrates. In his book, "Life Without Bread", Dr. Parker describes the diet that keeps blood sugar under control.
Many health experts recommend giving up bread and grains, such as corn, for weight loss. However, this book also covers the beneficial effects not consuming bread on a number of disease conditions and most importantly, the scientific and clinical data to back up the claims.

Know Your Fats
Mary G. Enig.
The publication of Know Your Fats is a rare treat: it is, to this reviewer's knowledge, the ONLY book on fats and oils for the consumer and the professional written by a recognized authority in the field. Virtually all of the titles on fats and oils in print now are either too technical to be accessible by the layman, or are too error-laden to be worth the paper they are printed on.
Eat Your Cholesterol
Cholesterol
Despite false indoctrinations from the food industry, it is well documented that reducing animal fat has a MINIMAL effect on lowering blood cholesterol.
Cholesterol is THE BUILDING BLOCK for hundreds of critically important 'steroid' hormones in the body. So manipulating cholesterol means manipulating these important chemical messengers. Furthermore, it's OXIDIZED cholesterol that is damaging to the arteries, not cholesterol itself.

In this controversial, evidence-based account of how and why the health-care establishment has got the concept of 'healthy eating' so wrong, Barry Groves shows us how to take charge of our own health and lives, in contravention of what the health-care industry would have us believe and do.
Fat and Cholesterol Are Good For You
Uffe Ravnskov
Did you know? ...that cholesterol is not a deadly poison, but a substance vital to the cells of all mammals? ...that your body produces three to four times more cholesterol than you eat? ...that the internal production increases when you eat only small amounts of cholesterol and decreases when you eat large amounts? ...that heart patients haven't eaten more saturated fat than other people? ...that stroke patients have eaten less? ...that people with low cholesterol become just as atherosclerotic as people with high? ...that high cholesterol is not a risk factor for women? ...that many of the cholesterol-lowering drugs are dangerous to your health and may shorten your life?

The Whole Soy Story
Kaala T. Daniel
A groundbreaking expose that tells the truth about soy that scientists know but that the soy industry has tried to suppress. Soy is not a health food, does not prevent disease and has not even been proven safe.
Epidemiological, clinical and laboratory studies link soy to malnutrition, digestive problems, thyroid dysfunction, cognitive decline, reproductive disorders, even heart disease and cancer.

Fiber Menace
K. Monastyrsky
Fiber Menace is for people who believe fiber prevents cancers, reduces the risk of heart disease, regulates blood sugar, wards off diabetes, lowers appetite, induces weight loss, cleanses the colon, and eliminates constipation.
Tragically, none of it is true, and Fiber Menace explains why it’s the complete opposite. Most of those findings have been well known and widely publicized even before Fiber Menace’s release.

Dangerous Grains
James Braly
Dangerous Grains turns the U.S. Food Guide Pyramid upside down by exposing the myriad health risks posed by gluten grains (wheat, rye, barley, spelt, kamut, and triticale).
The authors, leading experts in the field of food allergies, and celiac disease, present compelling evidence that our grain-centered diet is to blame for a host of chronic illnesses. Largely misunderstood and frequently misdiagnosed, these disorders can be prevented and reversed by the useful program outlined in this important new book.

Wheat Belly
William Davis, MD
A renowned cardiologist explains how eliminating wheat from our diets can prevent fat storage, shrink unsightly bulges, and reverse myriad health problems. Every day, over 200 million Americans consume food products made of wheat. As a result, over 100 million of them experience some form of adverse health effect, ranging from minor rashes and high blood sugar to the unattractive stomach bulges that preventive cardiologist William Davis calls “wheat bellies.”
The Raw Milk Revolution
By David Cumpert
The Raw Milk Revolution takes readers behind the scenes of the government's tough and occasionally brutal intimidation tactics, as seen through the eyes of milk producers, government regulators, scientists, prosecutors, and consumers.
It is a disturbing story involving marginally legal police tactics and investigation techniques, with young children used as political pawns in a highly charged atmosphere of fear and retribution.

The Raw Truth About Milk
W. C. Douglas
If you knew what we know about milk...BLEEECHT! All that pasteurization, homogenization and processing is not only cooking all the nutrients right out of your favorite drink. It's also adding toxic levels of vitamin D.
This fascinating book tells the whole story about milk. How it once was nature's nearly perfect food...How "raw," unprocessed milk can heal and boost your immune system ~ why you can't buy it legally in this country anymore, and what we could do to change that.

Suicide By Sugar
Nancy Appleton

Jacobs, presents a broader view of the problems caused by our favorite ingredient. The authors offer startling facts that link a range from dementia and hypoglycemia to obesity and cancer to our growing sugar addiction.
Body Mind & Sugar
E. M. Abrahamson
This book came out in the 1950s or early 1960s and it was the first that I knew that saw a relationship between mind and body. While most of the medical world was looking for id, ego, and superego to deal with depression, this book was saying that it was biochemical. In a lot of cases it was.
The information is still good. It is amazing that he is so forgotten by the holistic practitioners. Dr. Emanuel Maurice Abrahamson was a genius on the same as Joseph Lister and Robert Koch.

Real Food For Mother and Baby
By Nina Planck
In Real Food for Mother and Baby, Nina explains why many modern ideas about pregnancy and infant nutrition are wrongheaded and why traditional foods are best. While Nina can be controversial-her op-ed in the New York Times on vegan diets for infants was one of the paper's most e-mailed articles - she's no contrarian. Readers applaud her candor; they also trust her research and welcome her advice.
The Aware Baby
By Aletha J. Solter
We need to learn how to check baby's needs and accept that sometimes he just needs to say, "I had a hard day!" Children can grow up healthy, secure, and able to express their emotions, rather than suppressing them.
Even if you do not agree with everything in the book, you can gain a lot of understanding (about your baby, as well as your self!) through this book.

Your infants and children can benefit from your giving them massage (and so can you). Research shows children who receive massage are more alert, gain weight faster, sleep more soundly, and suffer less anxiety. Choose from a 10-minute massage for a newborn to techniques for older children of any age, including a centuries-old Ayurveda massage from India especially designed for times when kids are overactive during the day or restless at bedtime.
Nourishing Traditions
Sally Fallon
This well-researched, thought-provoking guide to traditional foods contains a startling message: Animal fats and cholesterol are not villains but vital factors in the diet, necessary for normal growth, proper function of the brain and nervous system, protection from disease and optimum energy levels. Sally Fallon dispels the myths of the current low-fat fad in this practical, entertaining guide to a can-do diet that is both nutritious and delicious.
The People of the Lie
M. Scott Peck, M.D.
|
I read this book in 1989 and what Dr. Peck wrote then is still very valid today and should be read by anyone who wish to look in the mirror and look at the people (family, friends) in their lives. Whereas people today seemingly appear very “mellow”, sweet and even kind on the surface, they are really psychic vampires at some level. Peck presents, from vivid incidents encountered in his psychiatric practice, examples of evil in everyday life. This book is by turns disturbing, fascinating, and altogether impossible to put down as it offers a strikingly original approach to the age-old problem of human evil.
