Book Description
As a longtime advocate for banning the common food and beverage additive aspartame as an "imminent public health hazard," this Florida physician informs doctors and consumers about a multiplicity of patients' adverse reactions to it. Based on case studies and responses to a questionnaire (which is included), such reactions include neurological, psychological, and immunological symptoms and disorders. Dr. Roberts also discusses aspartame consumption, its biochemistry, high risk groups, and obstacles to regulation, but does rely on controlled studies. Appends his 1987 Senate testimony on Nutrasweet/Equal, and opinions regarding the risks of aspartame for specific patient populations.
Living Well with Graves' Disease and Hyperthyroidism
Author: Mary J. Shomon
Publisher: Zondervan
ISBN: 0061748579
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 447
Book Description
From patient advocate and author of Living Well with Hypothyroidism Mary J. Shomon, here is a holistic roadmap for diagnosis, treatment and recovery for the millions of people suffering from Graves' disease and hyperthyroidism. There are an estimated 3 million-plus Americans suffering from Graves' disease and hyperthyroidism, and patient advocate Mary J. Shomon will guide them through the diagnosis and the wide-ranging treatments available. Graves' disease and hyperthyroidism are the result of the thyroid gland being overactive. This gland controls the body's metabolism, so people afflicted with the disorder can suffer from symptoms such as significant weight loss, fatigue, muscular weakness, and rapid heartbeat, among others. In addition to conventional treatments, this resource uniquely highlights holistic treatments, and through case studies and testimonials from patients and doctors, presents an honest look at the lifestyles and choices of people living with these conditions. Shomon presents the reader with a comprehensive resource that spans from diagnosis to treatment to life after treatment. She goes beyond the conventional advice of other books, utilizing patient anecdotes and, as a fellow thyroid disease patient, her own experience. Her extensive network of experts—from conventional physicians to alternative practitioners—allows for a wide range of treatment options. In addition, a comprehensive Appendix serves as a fantastic resource for patients seeking treatment and additional advice. The first edition of Living Well With Hypothyroidism (2/2000) started with a first printing of 7,500 copies and has now sold over 100,000 in the US. Shomon's The Thyroid Diet hit the New York Times extended bestseller list. Mary Shomon has been praised by doctors around the country for her medical knowledge and sensitivity to patients' needs. Barbara Bush brought attention to the plight of Graves' disease patients, announcing that she was suffering from it when she was First Lady.

Amino Acid Availability and Brain Function in Health and Disease
Author: Gerald Huether
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3642731759
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 479
Book Description
The picture on the following page is being reproduced here, at the request of the partici pants in the Advanced Research Workshop "Amino Acid Availability and Brain Function in Health and Disease". I displayed this limewood carving, entitled "Neurochemistry", during my closing remarks to this extraordinarily stimulating and productive workshop so ably organized by my collaborator Dr. Gerald Huether. We scientists need two sturdy legs to carry us through all the twists and turns of our academic careers. We should also have, as it were, a reserve leg handy, to help us stay upright when this career ends. My "third leg" is wood carving. The idea for "Neurochemis try" came to me in the plane carrying me to the congress of the International Neuro chemical Society in Jerusalem. We need the hands for our meticulous experimental work, and at least one ear to listen to the messages our neurons send us. A few years ago it would have been premature to hold a workshop on this subject. Now, however, the time was just right to allow an overview of the status of current re search, and to point out the promising new openings it has created. There is no doubt that the book to be published as a result of this workshop will be, for the next years at least, the standard text on the subject. Hearty thanks to all speakers for their brilliant con tributions and to all participants for the lively, uninhibited and stimulating discussion.

Pure, White, and Deadly
Author: John Yudkin
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 0698141881
Category : Health & Fitness
Languages : en
Pages : 149
Book Description
More than 40 years before Gary Taubes published The Case Against Sugar, John Yudkin published his now-classic exposé on the dangers of sugar—reissued here with a new introduction by Robert H. Lustig, the bestselling author of Fat Chance. Scientist John Yudkin was the first to sound the alarm about the excess of sugar in the diet of modern Americans. His classic exposé, Pure, White, and Deadly, clearly and engagingly describes how sugar is damaging our bodies, why we eat so much of it, and what we can do to stop. He explores the ins and out of sugar, from the different types—is brown sugar really better than white?—to how it is hidden inside our everyday foods, and how it is harming our health. In 1972, Yudkin was mostly ignored by the health industry and media, but the events of the last forty years have proven him spectacularly right. Yudkin’s insights are even more important and relevant now, with today’s record levels of obesity, than when they were first published. Brought up-to-date by childhood obesity expert Dr. Robert H. Lustig, this emphatic treatise on the hidden dangers of sugar is essential reading for anyone concerned about their health, the health of their children, and the wellbeing of modern society.

The Truth About Diseases
Author: Tihomir Petrov
Publisher: Author House
ISBN: 1496984854
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 113
Book Description
Usually, a man creates his diseases. In this book are explained the true causes for the diseases, principles of natural hygiene--which must be kept to prevent diseases--and the way of treatment, if they have occurred. Natural hygiene uses holistic/general way for treatment and maintenance of health. They say that health is the greatest wealth. Usually, we realize the value of something when we lose it. Health is not everything, but everything without health is nothing! Any theory is confirmed or rejected by practice. Think well what is true--theories that are taught in medical universities, which are not based on natural laws, or the theories based on natural laws and obvious facts? If the wrong/false theories, which are taught in the medical universities, that the causes for some diseases are "autoimmune", and other diseases are caused by viruses or bacteria, were true, most wild, free animals in nature would also be suffering from the same diseases, from which suffer people. The truth is that very few of these animals get sick, and it is usually due to disposal of poisons in nature by people. The things are not so complicated as the "doctors" of the official medicine want to convince us. Otherwise, if there were at all live wild animals, most of them would also be ill, even if they had (veterinary) "doctors", "dentists", and "doctors" of pharmacy and their poisons called medicines and vaccines. We are creators of our tomorrow, and there is no need to pay to a "diviner"--whether he is a doctor, a lawyer, a priest, or a banker--to tell us what will happen to us tomorrow. Nothing special will happen. The inevitable will occur--we will reap what we have sown.
