Basic Health Publications Pain
It is estimated that 80 percent of people who seek medical help do so to alleviate pain. Research shows that between 30 and 40 percent of adults experience some degree of chronic pain. And that's only physical discomfort. When you consider emotional or psychological pain, chances are everyone is living with some kind of pain. And if that isn't surprising, here's something that's even more amazing - up to 75 percent of reported pain isn't linked to an identifiable physical cause. That means pain is not just a physical issue, so ultimately it can't be treated by physical means alone. Most people cope with pain by searching for a quick, physical fix. In fact a New York Times article reported that more people are now addicted to painkillers than to street drugs and that hospitalisations related to prescription drugs have increased fivefold and overdose deaths fourfold in the last decade. That's not surprising given the ubiquitous ads on TV and in print media for all kinds of painkillers-from the affordable, over-the-counter variety to ones that require expensive prescriptions. But the secret that nobody tells you is: Painkillers only mask pain. They don't-and can't-cure it. It takes someone like Dr. Rajiv Parti, a brilliant, highly successful anaesthetist who specialised in treating pain, to tell the truth about it. After suffering from a series of debilitating, nearly fatal illnesses that started in August 2008, Dr. Parti realised he was addicted to painkillers in March 2011. That's when he made the profoundly difficult, but ethical, choice to give up his practice, to conquer his addiction and to search for a real solution. Soon he realised that his pain was not just physical but deeply emotional, psychological and spiritual. That led him to Ayurveda, the traditional medicine of India where he had been born. By becoming a student of that ancient holistic, natural practice which he combined with meditation and yoga, Dr. Parti was able to regain control of his life with a new focus: to share his personal journey through pain to forgiveness, love and healing.

Basic Health Publications Surviving the Unsurvivable: Natural Therapies for Cancer, a Revolutionary Integrative Approach
Dr. Yutsis' theory posits that cancer is a well-connected whole-body disease linked to lifestyle, diet, age and how the different body systems function. Dr. Yutsis has identified ten specific factors, including genetics, sugar, obesity, stress and toxins, that make it easier for cancer to get a foothold and become more aggressive and tougher to combat. Dr. Yutsis details the powerful, safe, integrative treatments that he recommends which combine conventional and alternative methods that he uses in his complementary practice, methods he first encountered when training in his native Russia, where they didn't distinguish between conventional and alternative approaches to medicine--'whatever helped was considered appropriate treatment. Dr Yutsis' treatments -ranging from healthy nutrition, vitamins, supplements, herbs and oxygen therapy, to acupuncture, exercise and numerous other forms of bodywork-have delivered positive results in combating cancer. The doctor emphasises that he and his colleagues in this field constitute a new breed of doctors you can turn to for effective help. Dr. Yutsis wrote this book, he says, to make people with cancer more aware of how the benefits of this complementary route can help them survive the seemingly unsurvivable disease of cancer. Anyone searching for answer beyond tradiational mainstream approaches with questionable outcomes will be smart to investigate the methods reviewed in this important new book by a proven master in his field.

Basic Health Publications Recalled to Health: Free Yourself from a Self-Imposed Prison of Bad Habits
Dr. Tim Hennessy has skillfully drawn on his life experiences to put together RECALLED TO HEALTH, which is both a memoire of his path to becoming a doctor and a useful medical guide to achieving and keeping good health. Dr. Hennessy wrote the book over a five-year period in between his work as a doctor and his other professional and personal pursuits. He says the initial impetus for it came from his bimonthly health newsletter, H-mail: Medical Education Made Easy. Dr. Hennessy describes the focus of his book as conservative medicine: he aims to promote freedom by inspiring one and all to live healthier lives and, in the process, to become less dependent on medication and the flawed health service and more emboldened to live life to its fullest, unimpeded by the physical constraints of poor health. By providing a medical foundation that will lead to a better understanding of medical topics, RECALLED TO HEALTH can empower its readers to take charge of their own health. Cholesterol, blood pressure, diet and weight management, exercise, sleeping habits and the role of nature in health are some of the topics discussed in full here, along with suggestions for optimum actions, behaviours or treatments. Each of the chapters ends with a helpful summary of tips and the back of the book contains numerous, fully cited references listed by chapters as well as an index.

Basic Health Publications Healing Power of Meditation: Your Prescription for Getting Well and Staying Well with Meditation

The HEALING POWER OF MEDITATION combines medical studies, neuroscientific research, clinical case histories, spiritual wisdom, jazz lyrics, poems, paintings and Zen philosophy, weaving together a set of principles and meditative practices that you can easily integrate into your daily life. Each section incorporates simple exercises to help you take the ideas and practices discussed to a deeper level. Written for people with little time for formal daily meditation exercise, The HEALING POWER OF MEDITATION teaches that, with practice, you can learn to unlock and benefit from meditation's healing power.

Basic Health Publications Health Benefits of Vitamin Mk7: A Revolutionary Natural Treatment for Heart Disease and Bone Loss
Though largely unknown, vitamin K is critical for our health. It is needed for the normal clotting of blood and for the formation and maintenance of healthy bones. Although vitamin K2-- also called menaquinone--is naturally produced by some of our intestinal bacteria, only a limited amount of this essential vitamin is stored in our bodies. A lack of this vitamin, which can be caused by a poor diet and the regular use of certain drugs such as antibiotics, is not uncommon. Now, a new supplemental form of vitamin K, specifically vitamin K2--menaquinone-7 (MK-7)--is becoming more widely available to health consumers. It is showing great promise as a natural treatment for heart disease and bone loss. Available in soy products and as a nutritional supplement, MK-7 is clinically proven to be safe and effective. It may also be helpful for lowering cholesterol levels, preventing Alzheimer's disease, and treating some forms of cancer. And MK-7 is a powerful antioxidant without side effects.

By boosting the activity of the body's cellular furnaces, carnitine can energize the heart, brain, and muscles to do more. Doctors have also found carnitine and acetyl-l-carnitine helpful in treating many conditions, including heart failure, muscle weakness and failing memory. Carnitine can also enhance physical training.

Basic Health Publications The Healing Trail: Essential Oils of Madagascar
Essential oils, known for their healing properties as far back as ancient Mesopotamia and Babylonia, have reached their zenith in Madagascar, says Dr. Georges M. Halpern, author of The Healing Trail: Essential Oils of Madagascar. This interesting, informative, and clearly written new book is well-documented, with entertaining historical stories sprinkled throughout, including how eighteenth-century botanists succeeded in making this land a garden for botanical study. Madagascar, the planet's fourth largest island, has long been famous for the individuality of its flora and fauna, and for the essential oils that many consider the best in the world. This book explains why and tells us what makes these oils so potent and effective. It details their use in aromatherapy, a healing method almost as old as medicine itself, and their many benefits to the perfume, cosmetic, and food industries; it describes the successful efforts of villagers to create a sustainable economy around them without having to cut down the rainforest, and offers practical advice for people wishing to visit this lushly beautiful island, "the naturalist's promised land." Dr. Halpern gives the history and the chemical and botanical makeup of eight essential oils (for example, tropical basil, cinnamon leaf and bark, geranium leaf, ginger, and vanilla) and tells how they are best used to promote physical and emotional health. We learn where they are grown on the island, how they are cultivated, what studies are being conducted, and what scientists believe might be future uses for them.The Healing Trail: Essential Oils of Madagascar is an essential resource for learning how the unique aspects of this island have coalescedto create superior essential oils like no others on earth, and how these oils can be put to use for maximum benefit.

Basic Health Publications Wellman: Live Longer by Controlling Inflammation
Many men are entering middle-age overweight and out of shape, with increasing sugar intolerance (pre-diabetes), hypertension, lacking energy and drive and experiencing falling libido. Men have a choice to make: continue their current lifestyle with those extra pounds and decreased energy or choose to reinvent themselves - to become a 'WellMan' full of renewed energy and passion, with a greater sense of well-being. The key to successful aging is the control of hidden or 'silent' inflammation. Some inflammation is beneficial, serving to immobilise an area of injury as the immune system responds. But silent inflammation has a more insidious nature - it's a chronic, systemic inflammation that goes on inside the body year after year. Researchers now recognise that silent inflammation is responsible for most chronic diseases, including heart disease, Alzheimer's and cancer. In fact, it is now understood as the primary cause of aging itself. The powerful integral health programme outlined in this book provides a comprehensive way of controlling silent inflammation so that each man can optimise his health. · Diet and nutritional advice for reducing inflammation · Advice on detoxifying the body · Natural hormone replacement for renewed vigour · Mind-body therapies for reducing stress · Exercise tips to feel younger

Basic Health Publications The Healing Bouquet: Exploring Bach Flower Remedies
Many books on the Bach Flower Remedies are written by nutritionists, herbalists and practitioners of traditional Western or allopathic medicine. THE HEALING BOUQUET has been written by Vinton McCabe, a teacher with more than a quarter century of experience in homoeopathy and the author of seven books on the subject of homoeopathy, health and healing. In this companion volume to The Healing Enigma, in which he explored and, ultimately, demystified the complex principles of homoeopathy, McCabe now seeks to place the Bach Flower Remedies within their natural context - that of homoeopathic medicine. As the author comments, "We have to remember that Edward Bach was an allopathic doctor and a highly successful one who, after reading the writings of Samuel Hahnemann, began to incorporate homoeopathic philosophy in his practice of medicine. His evolution as a physician ultimately led him to close his medical practice in order to dedicate the last part of his life to the creation of a new pharmacy of healing tools, which today we call the Bach Flower Remedies. Given his background as both an allopath and a homoeopath, the remedies he created are totally unique. They represent the perfect balancing point between homeopathic and herbal medicine." He, also, explains Bach's own philosophy of healing, one that stresses the need for emotional healing and the role that it plays in physical health. More importantly, he gives in-depth portraits of the guiding symptoms for each of Bach's thirty-eight remedies, portraits created with insight, humour and an understanding of human emotions and behaviours that will allow readers to identify themselves and those who are part of their lives within these pages.

Basic Health Publications Raw Nutrition: Restore Your Health by Eating Raw and Eating Right
People who consume only processed foods and fail to eat raw fruits and vegetables may be starving and overeating. While this might seem like a contradiction, it's true. More people die from overeating than under eating. If you are not eating an enzyme-rich, plant-based diet, your body may be stealing enzymes from your pancreas and heart just to digest. This activity of "robbing Peter to pay Paul" can cause diabetes and heart disease. Eating a green salad daily can make a healthy difference in how you look and how you feel every day. Research confirms that raw plant enzymes reverse aging. In RAW NUTRITION you will learn: · How food addictions are industry-inspired and emotionally created · How you can overcome these food addictions by reclaiming your power and recognizing how blocked emotions can lead to weight issues. · How, by following a raw vegan diet, most people lose at least ten pounds (4.5 kg) a month eating all they want. No one teaches us what we need to eat every day to achieve optimal health and prevent disease. Eating organic, raw vegetables and fruit eliminates many of the antigens that cause allergic reactions and subsequent disease.

Basic Health Publications Our Toxic Legacy: How Lead, Mercury, Arsenic, and Cadmium Harm Our Health
Lead, mercury, arsenic and cadmium are major toxic metals. All are environmental pollutants that can inflict harm on humans and other living creatures as well as adversely affect our air, water, soil and food supply. Two of them - lead and mercury - are neurotoxins. They can poison not only us but, also, our progeny developing in the womb. The other two - arsenic and cadmium - have some carcinogenic forms. All four metals can break down the body's basic functions. Metal toxicity is more prevalent than commonly recognised. If we regularly eat certain fish or foods and beverages sweetened with high-fructose corn syrup, have amalgam dental fillings, drink contaminated tap water, take over-the-counter drugs or use lipstick or hair dye, chances are that our bodies have already accumulated significant amounts of toxic metals. These poisonous substances are present in hundreds of other everyday consumer products. And if we work in certain industries or in agriculture, our chronic exposure is inevitable. OUR TOXIC LEGACY describes the unique characteristics of each of these four major toxic metals and identifies the likely sources of our exposures. It offers in-depth evidence-based information on subtle as well as serious health problems each metal induces, methods to test for its presence and therapies to rid it from our bodies. The book offers new and important information on what we can do to help limit these toxic metals in our environment. OUR TOXIC LEGACY shows that, while much remains to be done, we can take measures now to protect ourselves as well as ensure the health of future generations and the planet.

Basic Health Publications Vitamin Cure for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: How to Prevent and Treat Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Using Nutrition and Vitamin Supplementation
Most people's diets are woefully inadequate for providing proper nutrition. Even good diets fail to deliver sufficient levels of nutrients. The Vitamin Cure book series highlights the safe and clinically effective use of vitamin supplements for a variety of illnesses. Research continues to prove the immense value of vitamins for maintaining health and fighting disease. The Vitamin Cure books, written by authors who are recognised experts in their field, give you authoritative, up-to-date and practical information on taking vitamins for particular health problems. Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is an elusive, difficult-to-treat condition in which the entire human organism has gone out of kilter. Symptoms include fatigue, muscle and joint pains, feeling unwell after exercise and unrefreshing sleep and memory/concentration problems. A combination of factors is implicated in the development of CFS: allergies, nervous system dysfunction, environmental toxins, immune dysfunction and oxidative stress. Unfortunately, mainstream medicine relies on a piecemeal and inadequate approach to the problem. This ground breaking book directly addresses the myriad causes of CFS and offers restorative vitamin and other treatments capable of safely reducing symptoms. Orthomolecular (megavitamin) therapy encompasses common over-the-counter vitamins, sound medical and scientific evidence. These natural treatments can provide profound relief for those with chronic fatigue.

Mackie Shilstone is famous for helping world-class athletes achieve the body, drive, stamina and performance they need to win. Now, with four decades of health and fitness expertise, he focuses on providing solutions to the problem of childhood obesity. Today, one in three children are overweight. If no intervention is made, 80 percent of them will stay overweight as adults, which can put them at risk of medical problems (for example, type-2 diabetes, heart disease and asthma) and make them more susceptible to low self-esteem and depression. MACKIE SHILSTONE'S BODY PLAN FOR KIDS is a comprehensive guide to gaining control of your child's weight and the first book on weight loss in children to offer specific strategies for eating healthily, getting fit and feeling good about yourself, targeted to eight- to twelve-year-olds. Current research on overweight and obese children indicates that at this formative age, parents are a child's strongest role model and best able to affect positive eating and lifestyle changes. Research shows also that unsatisfactory role modeling by overweight parents with poor nutrition and sedentary habits are major causes of childhood obesity. Because of this, you, as parent and role model, are key to making the Body Plan for Kids work. Now Mackie trains you to become a trainer to your own family. Features of the plan include, how to: · Take height and weight measurements and determine body-fat percentage to accurately assess and monitor weight status; · Work with your child's doctor to determine an ideal target weight and a pounds safe to lose per week and much more. - Make better food choices and involve kids in label reading, shopping for healthy foods and meal planning and preparation; · Increase daily physical activity with the more than two-dozen games and activities included; · Track eating, exercise and weight loss electronically, upload photos; see quick stats and other visual motivators. Complete with age-specific advice from a pediatrician, nutritionist, clinical psychologist and other specialists, 50 recipes and more than 100 online and print resources for information on food and nutrition, physical fitness, weight-related issues, BODY PLAN FOR KIDS gives you the solutions and tools to bring about effective weight loss in your child (and you) with the goal of keeping it off as they become teenagers and adults.

Basic Health Publications Infectious Connections: How Short-Term Foodborne Infections Can Lead to Long-Term Health Problems
Many food borne diseases are newly emerging, while others, long with us, have become more virulent. INFECTIOUS CONNECTIONS focuses on more than a dozen major food borne diseases and demonstrates how the short-term infections that they inflict may lead to a wide range of long-term chronic health disorders or increase the severity of existing health problems. Food borne pathogens, such as Salmonella and Listeria, enter the body through the intestinal tract where they cause temporary upsets. However, if they go from the intestinal tract into the bloodstream, they can invade other organs, systems and structures, where they inflict damage such as some forms of heart disease, arthritis and cancer. The general public has become aware of the rising incidence of food borne illness from many well-publicised outbreaks from contaminated beef, spinach, tomatoes and numerous other foods. Factors involved in food contamination include radical changes in agricultural practices, global warming, vast amounts of imported foods and poor personal hygiene practiced in fields, slaughterhouses, food-processing plants, institutions, restaurants and homes.

INFECTIOUS CONNECTIONS discusses the current dilemma and suggest ways in which the food regulators, the food chain 'from farm to fork,' and we, the consumers, can achieve a safer food supply.
