BOOK OF THE WEEK:
WHAT'S IN YOUR MILK?

A new book by Dr. Samuel Epstein, one of the world's leading scientific authorities on Monsanto's genetically engineered rBGH milk, offers readers an air-tight case on the dangers of this synthetic hormone. Epstein's research conclusively indicates it's high time for the U.S. to finally acknowledge the dangers of rBGH in milk and dairy products. In his book, Epstein shows how rBGH, which is banned in most of the world, is only legal in the U.S. due to ties between Monsanto (producer of the rBGH drug Posilac) and the White House, the FDA, the American Medical Association, and American Cancer Society. "What's In Your Milk?" also reveals:

bulletEvidence of Monsanto's white collar crime.
bulletThe suppression and manipulation of information on the veterinary and public health dangers of rBGH milk.
bulletEvidence on a wide range of abnormalities in rBGH milk, particularly ties to increased risk of cancer; and inhibition of apoptosis, the natural self-destruction of early microscopic cancers.

coverD’Adamo, Peter J., N.D. and Catherine Whitney.  Eat Right for Your Type: The Individualized Diet Solution to Staying Healthy, Living Longer & Achieving Your Ideal Weight.  New York: Putnam’s, 1997.

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 entrees to condiments and seasonings,

cover D’Adamo, Peter J., N.D. and Catherine Whitney.  Cook Right 4 Your Type: The Practical Kitchen Companion to Eat Right 4 Your Type.  Berkley Publishing Group, 2000.

Diet schemes come and go. Successful plans, backed by powerful media machines, become bestsellers with sequels and food-product lines. But with so many diet books on the market, how do you decide which plan is right for you? According to Peter D'Adamo, the answer depends on your blood type. In his first book, Eat Right 4 Your Type, D'Adamo, a naturopathic physician and researcher, makes interesting and unique connections between human evolution, blood type, diet, exercise, and health. Now, in Cook Right 4 Your Type: The Practical Kitchen Companion to Eat Right 4 Your Type, D'Adamo provides readers with:

bulletRoad maps and charts for each of the four blood types, detailing which foods and beverages to consume and which to avoid
bulletTips for starting and sticking with the diet and matching your menu to your blood type
bulletThirty-day meal plans to help you stay healthy, live longer, and achieve your ideal weight
bulletMore than 200 healthy and easy recipes keyed to blood type

While D'Adamo's theories challenge common nutrition wisdom and his diet can be difficult to follow, Cook Right 4 Your Type will make his advice a little easier to swallow. --Ellen Albertson

Littauer, Florence.  Personality Plus - How to Understand Others by Understanding Yourself.  Michigan:  Fleming H. Russel, Co., 1992.

One wouldn't expect a book on personalities to be as engaging, funny, and entertaining as Personality Plus. (Since it was written by a Popular Sanguine, I guess I shouldn't be surprised). I had a tremendous amount of fun reading this, taking the tests, analyzing my friends and family, and seeing how the Lord has made us perfect in His sight. The most invaluable information I gleaned from the text was why my son and I clash so often- we're both melancholies, and I see aspects of my personality that I struggle with in him. I now have the tools to work on my weaknesses, and my relationships with others. Thank you, Ms. Littauer, for such an insightful book!

cover Pagano, John, O.A., D.C.  Healing Psoriasis:  The Natural Alternative.  New Jersey, The Pagano Organization, Inc., 1991

Finally, after 15 years of battling psoriasis there is hope and a cure. I've tried every topical, own my own light machines, and have even tried the dreaded oral medications. None of them worked much less made much of a difference. I have been treating the symptoms for 15 years. Thanks to Dr.Pagano, I am now treating the cause of my psoriasis . . . poor elimination.  After only three weeks of following Dr. Pagano's diet and cleansing recommendations, I have noted a remarkable improvement. I know I will be spot free soon. Chances are your dermatologist will be less than supportive and will spout the "there's no medical evidence" that diet has anything to do with psoriasis, and you will be discouraged when your dermatologist states there is no cure as psoriasis is in your genes.  However, the medical field has no evidence that it is your genes, either (ask your dermatologist if the gene has been identified--it hasn't). They've decided it is in our genes because psoriasis runs in families. It runs in families because family is where you learn your eating and toilet habits. Let your dermatologist continue to treat your symptoms while you take control of healing the cause--poor elimination. Dr. Pagano gives you the information and tools necessary to correct your diet and begin proper elimination. You will be overjoyed.

Longtime chiropractic promoter and practitioner Rondberg pitches this guidebook to the general public. He tells us about D. D. and B. J. Palmer, father and son, who discovered and built chiropractic, then outlines chiropractic principles and activities. Vertebral subluxation (misalignment of vertebrae), now usually called nerve interference, is, chiropractic maintains, the cause of most human ills. Chiropractors use X rays to identify this problem and correct it by adjustment (often called manipulation by laypersons). The body's innate intelligence is said to be its ruling force, and chiropractors assist its full use. Children, middle-aged, and elderly alike can benefit from chiropractic, which deserves a high place in health care because it concentrates on causes rather than effects or symptoms and is not expensive.

There have been segments in our society that have enormous power and will stop at nothing to gain control. This book is a chilling description of an out of control medical system that assumed that they had all knowledge concerning healthcare. The real fight was about nothing other than penetration into their sacred economic turf. Chiropractic was almost destroyed if it wasn't for the absolute courage of several dedicated chiropractic physicians and an attorney who fought against all odds to prove that organized medicine used a campaign of misinformation and slander to attempt to destroy the chiropractic profession. Fortunately, many today have accepted chiropractic based on merit and effectiveness as a healing art. Many medical doctors today have accepted chiropractic based on scientific evidence and studies published in many of their journals concerning chiropractic's efficacy. This is an absolute must read!!!! 

Wilson, James L., N.D., D.C., Ph.D. Adrenal Fatigue, The 21st Century Syndrome. California, Smart Publications, 2001.

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. Author Dr. James L. Wilson gives us both the bad news and the good news about this situation. The bad news is how this illness is devastating so many lives, how so many people are being left without hope, and why traditional (allopathic) medicine has failed to recognize or remedy this tragedy. The good news is that this condition can be diagnosed, can be treated, and that there is hope. And Wilson ought to know. With 3 doctorate and two master's degrees all from different disciplines (including Human Nutrition, Naturopathic Medicine, and Bio/Nutrition), Wilson lectures extensively to physicians and is an internationally acknowledged expert on alternative, holistic approaches to health. Supporting Wilson's claims about adrenal fatigue are his 25 years of clinical practice and a depth and breadth of research based on over 2400 scientific references. But don't be daunted by the academic and scientific pedigree of the author; this book is a very easy read deceptively so for the quality and import of the material.

The book opens with an overview of the function of the adrenals, and how they are prone to chronic fatigue given our hyper-stressed contemporary lifestyles. This is followed by a section on how to tell if you have adrenal fatigue, which includes a questionnaire, several simple at-home diagnostic tests that you can perform yourself, as well as thorough information on the availability (and usefulness) of different laboratory tests. The heart and soul of Wilson's book (and where you get a sense of this doctor's caring 'bedside manner') is the lengthy section on the treatment of adrenal dysfunction, 'Helping Yourself Back to Health.' This is the good news section. It includes detailed information and sage advice on multiple strategies for treatment, such as lifestyle, food, food allergies and sensitivities, dietary supplements, adrenal cell extracts, and replacement hormones. This section concludes with a suggested daily program for adrenal recovery, advice on what to expect on your road back to adrenal health, a very helpful list of questions and answers, and even a trouble-shooting guide if you discover that you still need help. The final section of the book is the most scientific; it details the functions of the adrenal glands. This section (as well as the entire book) is supported by helpful and often entertaining illustrations.

I discovered through answering the book's questionnaire and performing two of the self-diagnostic tests that I probably do not suffer from this ailment (although I'll bet that I have numerous friends who do). I do however suffer from migraine headaches, and since much of the book addresses general wellness, I read on with great interest. Most of Dr. Wilson's information and advice on lifestyle, food, food allergies and sensitivities (for me, especially this one), and dietary supplements, is material we can all benefit from'the infirm and the healthy among us alike. For the millions of people who do suffer from adrenal fatigue, there are several aspects of the book that I imagine will be most welcome. Foremost will surely be the confirmation that yes, there is something identifiably wrong with you, and the clear beacon of hope for recovery that his program projects. Especially for those readers who are afflicted with adrenal fatigue but are not quite ready to give up on traditional western medicine, Wilson presents a very balanced picture of what you can and cannot expect from your physician, and plenty of good advice for how to negotiate the interface between traditional and alternative healthcare. Lastly, Dr. Wilson has created a website,[URL], that offers updated information and advice, including information on the availability of products and services sure to be of help to sufferers from adrenal fatigue.

Comprehensive, yet very friendly; empowering and very hopeful, this book is certain to help a lot of people.

coverLiving Yoga: A.M./P.M. Yoga for beginners 

This yoga set is perfect for those with busy schedules who need to work in a way to relax. On the a.m. tape, Rodney Yee takes you through a 15-minute morning yoga set, while Patricia Walden leads a 20-minute evening routine on the p.m. tape. The a.m. tape was filmed on a beach in Maui at sunrise, providing a soothing background for this gentle workout. In the morning, Rodney tells us, "the body is rested but stiff from inactivity." The stretches he demonstrates are designed to increase circulation, improve mobility, and bring clarity to your mind. The movements are easy to follow (they include a conscious relaxation, the a.m. workout, and a guided meditation), and the set is short enough that it can be squeezed into the most hectic of morning schedules. The p.m. video was filmed at sunset in Death Valley. Patricia's yoga set is designed to quiet the mind after the stress of the day and to help you make the transition from active to quiet. She uses a combination of a centering series, standing poses, forward bends, and restorative poses to help you ease into night. You will need some firm blankets to sit on and a yoga strap (although a belt or scarf will serve the same purpose) to perform these movements. Perfect for the beginner and for the overworked. --Jenny Brown
