Pills A Go Go or Healing Takes Time

Pills-A-Go-Go: A Fiendish Investigation into Pill Marketing, Art, History & Consumption

Author: Jim Hogshir

Named after and based on Jim Hogshire's popular zine Pills-a-Go-Go, this book is both a celebration of the wonders of modern pharmacology and a study of our society's propensity to take a pill as an antidote for virtually all of life's problems. To Hogshire, pills are the quintessence of Western culture, embodying our desires, fears, ambivalence about life and death, health and freedom -- as well as our faith in the quick fix.

Hogshire muses on pill naming and marketing, presents up-to-the-minute pill news, and discusses celebrities and their pills of choice. Along the way, he provides histories of drug manufacturers and examines how pills are the product of decades of scientific exploration and the result of billions of dollars in research.

Publishers Weekly

As the editor of an eponymous underground 'zine devoted to celebrating pills "from the point of view of unrepentant drug takers," Hogshire seeks to demystify the contents of our medicine chests. Calling pills "the quintessential icon of Western Civilization," he bemoans the fact that America's attitude toward pills is ambivalent at best, and blames this state of affairs on both an elitist medical profession and public information campaigns that create undue hysteria about the consequences of recreational drug use. Dividing the book into such chapters as "Another Clean-Cut, All-American Speed Freak," "Amphetamines and Football," "I Raided Tom Clancy's Drug Stash" and "Great Pharmacist Authors," he mixes cheerfully blistering rants against doctors, pharmacists and the FDA with overviews of the history, uses and side effects of various widely taken medications. Readers are told what security measures to take when breaking into a pharmacy, what combination of meds is most likely to prevent jet lag and how to forge a prescription. Brash, lively and lavishly illustrated, this is a fun and often informative read, although some of Hogshire's pollyannaish conclusions about the benefits of pills should be taken with a grain of salt, if not a dose of Valium.

Healing Takes Time

Author: David P Gallagher

Loss can occur in many forms, such as the death of a loved one, divorce, or termination of a job. Healing Takes Time is filled with 52 meditations and reflections to help people experiencing loss start a journey of healing. This biblical resource draws on experiences from Gallagher's life, and includes a theme, relevant Scripture passages, personal illustrations, and practical steps to take toward healing in each meditation. Just as a physical injury takes time to mend, emotional and spiritual anguish require time, patience, and faith to heal. Perspective is often lost during painful times, and the Scripture passages in this book are a fresh reminder of God's love and faithfulness.

Most people have heard about the stages of grief, but knowing the stages academically is quite different from knowing them in the heart. Healing Takes Time helps those suffering loss, loneliness, and sorrow prayerfully walk through the stages of grief step-by-step. Healing Takes Time is ideal for support groups or people working at their own pace. This short, practical, and focused book is a helpful companion for anyone experiencing emotional or spiritual distress.

Hypothyroidism or What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Back Pain

Hypothyroidism (The First Year Series): An Essential Guide for the Newly Diagnosed

Author: Maureen Pratt

The thyroid, one of the body's most important glands, can become extremely disruptive if it malfunctions, affecting blood pressure, heart rate, fertility, muscle tone, mood swings, and much more. Upon discovering that she'd joined the ranks of the nearly 5 million Americans diagnosed with hypothyroidism, author Maureen Pratt took charge and educated herself on every aspect of her condition. Now, as a "patient-expert," she guides those newly diagnosed step-by-step through their first year with hypothyroidism. She provides crucial information about the nature of the disease, treatment options, diet, exercise, social concerns, emotional issues, networking with others, charts, tables, and much more. The First Year™—Hypothyroidism is an invaluable guide for everyone learning to live with their diagnosis. For everyone newly diagnosed with hypothyroid disease, this is an indispensable guide to prioritizing the key things you need to do and learn.

Library Journal

As part of the endocrine system, a normal thyroid gland produces thyroid hormone, an essential hormone for the body to function normally. Patients with hypothyroidism have an underactive thyroid that does not produce the hormone; as a result, heart rate, muscle tone, blood pressure, mood swings, and more can be affected. Pratt (coauthor of Taking Charge of Lupus) is one of approximately six million Americans who have this condition. In an effort to lead newly diagnosed readers through their first year with hypothyroidism, Pratt has divided her chapters into days, weeks, and months; her text offers a balanced approach to living with the disease and learning how to cope with the diagnosis. The glossary helps with many of the medical terms found in the text, and a resources section includes up-to-date information on useful web resources. Full of practical, useful information, Pratt's guide will be an important resource for patients and their families.

Kabbalistic Healing or PowerSculpt For Men

Kabbalistic Healing: A Path to an Awakened Soul

Author: Jason Shulman

“This lucid book of deep healing is a brilliant contribution to the spiritual literature bridging Eastern and Western thought. Shulman’s bigger view unifies seeking and being-there, path and goal, transcendence and immanence, with the joy of a true master.”
Lama Surya Das, founder of the Dzogchen Center and author of Awakening the Buddha Within

“Jason Shulman is a living kabbalist, a master who transcends the narrowness of academic Kabbalah and the superficiality of popular Kabbalah. He lives and breathes new life into the ancient tradition through the profound intuitions of his own awakened soul.”
Rabbi Mordechai (Marc) Gafni, spiritual director of Bayit Chadash Community/Retreat Center, Israel, and author of Soul Prints

“This is a must-read for anyone who wishes to learn the essence of kabbalistic teachings in the hands of a master of spiritual and psychological development.”
Rabbi David A. Cooper, author of God Is a Verb

Kabbalistic Healing shows how the Kabbalah--the Jewish mystical path to knowing reality--can kindle the central fire in our being so that we can unite with the divine. It describes the ultimate healing possible for the human soul: an awakening to our true nature that makes our former life seem as if we have been asleep.

Kabbalistic Healing is about the process of unification, of joining with reality, and the implications of that process for daily life. It draws upon the author’s work at A Society of Souls, which promotes the belief that the ultimate form of healing is to create a unitiveor nondual state of consciousness, integrating the healthy human ego into its proper relationship with transcendent reality. As we deepen our understanding of our true selves and enhance our ability to hold new states of consciousness, we are able not only to heal ourselves but to help heal others as well.

JASON SHULMAN is an internationally known spiritual teacher and modern kabbalist who is also a recognized teacher in the Buddhist lineage of Shaka Kendo Rich Hart, Abbot of the Clear Mountain Center. He is the founder of A Society of Souls, a school dedicated to the awakening of the human spirit through the work of Integrated Kabbalistic Healing. He is also a faculty member at the New York Open Center, Esalen Institute, and Omega Institute. He lives in New Jersey.

Moonlight, Magnolias and Madness: Insanity in South Carolina from the Colonial Period to the Progressive Era

Author: Peter McCandless

This progressive, or Whiggish, view of the history of insanity came under attack from several directions in the 1960s and 1970s. Sociologists such as Erving Goffman and renegade psychiatrists such as Thomas Szasz and R.D. Laing pictured mental hospitals and orthodox psychiatry as repressive and mental illness as a social construct designed to justify the incarceration and control of individuals whose behavior was socially disruptive, economically unproductive, politically deviant, or morally objectionable.

TIME Online - Christine Gorman

Feeding Your Child for Lifelong Health should be required reading for anyone with children under age six....[it] has the smartest take I've ever seen on the importance of variety in healthy eating.

Time - Christine Gorman

Considering all the pseudoscientific mumbojumbo that passes for nutritional
advice these days, I can't help being enthusiastic when a really good guide
based on solid research shows up in bookstores. And when the subject of
that book is young children's nutritional needs--which are very different
from those of adults--you can bet I'm going to recommend it to every parent
I know. I'm talking about Feeding Your Child for Lifelong Health (Bantam;
$15.95) by Susan Roberts, a nutrition researcher at Tufts University in
Boston, and Dr. Melvin Heyman, a pediatric gastroenterologist at the
University of California in San Francisco. Their book, which is available
starting this week, should be required reading for anyone with children
under age six.

Even the most diligent parents are likely to learn something about feeding
their kids. Paradoxically, as the authors explain, many families following
the latest nutritional
guidelines may actually be putting their children's health at risk. Why?
Because the reduced-fat, high-fiber diets that make sense for most adults
don't have enough of the
vitamins, minerals and other nutrients essential for growing bodies. "With
the current emphasis on eating less red meat and fewer eggs, it's virtually
impossible for kids to eat a
balanced diet," Roberts says. The two biggest gaps are iron and zinc. Kids
also aren't getting the calcium they need, in part because they're drinking
more soda and juice and less
milk than kids did 20 years ago.

It's best to get these and other nutrients from food. But they're so
important for proper development--even a short bout of mild anemia, for
example, can have permanent
effects on young brains--that Roberts and Heyman recommend daily
supplements (though not megavitamins) for kids at least up to age three.
And no, they didn't take money from the vitamin companies to make that
recommendation.

You're still going to find the emphasis on fruits and vegetables that
you'll get in any good book on nutrition. But there's plenty of practical
advice on how to make sure that
your kids actually eat their peas rather than just shoving them aside. One
tip: you may have to serve two-year-olds a new food frequently--as often as
15 times over several
months. As Roberts and Heyman explain, there's an evolutionary reason for
toddlers to be picky eaters: it cut down a tiny hunter-gatherer's chances
of food poisoning.Most important, don't trigger their natural rebellious
streak by letting on that you think the food is good for them.

Feeding Your Child also has the smartest take I've ever seen on the
importance of variety in healthy eating. Government guidelines stress the
consumption of many different foods.
But they never warn that this can work against you. Studies show that if a
plate contains two types of cookies, for instance, you'll eat more than if
only one kind is available.
The same is true for vegetables. Roberts and Heyman advise parents that if
they must keep cookies in the house, they should stick to one brand and
save the variety for healthier
foods. As with anything having to do with children, it takes a little
planning and a lot of patience to make sure they eat right. But the results
are worth it.

Publishers Weekly

Tufts nutrition professor Roberts and pediatrician Heyman offer their approach to childhood nutrition in a practical, easy-to-use guide suited for any parent with children under six years old. Pointing to the importance of "metabolic programming" (food's effect on intelligence, personality, immunity, strength, etc.), the authors argue that how a child eats is as important as what a child eats in preventing obesity, allergies and childhood cancers. Focusing on eight key nutrients (fat, fiber, calories, iron, calcium, zinc, folate, antioxidants) for optimal health, the authors offer a variety of age-specific sample menus and caloric requirements, height and weight charts, healthful recipes and answers to frequently asked nutrition questions. Roberts and Heyman dispel misconceptions (that supplements are unnecessary for young children and the possible false link between sugar and hyperactivity) and suggest what foods are to be avoided and why. Through the use of their age-appropriate, low-key behavioral techniques--which emphasize the importance of good parent role-modeling, on-demand feeding, the potential need to introduce unpopular foods repeatedly and the ability to use a child's natural eating instincts--the authors make pleasurable and healthy mealtimes for the family attainable.

Kirkus Reviews

A clear, up-to-date, practical guide to nutritional needs and issues from birth to age six; this is refreshingly free of hackneyed medical advice and conventional wisdom. Roberts brings to bear the fields of nutrition and psychiatry (which he teaches at Tufts); Heyman is a pediatric gastroenterologist. It's well worth the effort to start children off on the right nutritional foot, they say, according to the theory of "metabolic programming," i.e., "foods eaten in childhood can have lasting effects on the way your child's body grows and functions." Roberts and Heyman interweave their explanations of nutrient requirements for physical growth with what we know about the psychological and evolutionary basis of why children eat the way they do—thus providing a framework for creating realistic solutions when eating problems arise. The authors organize their material by age and development level, and then look at food solutions to common problems (how and when to increase the variety of foods, how to balance the nutritional needs of a family with parents in their 30s who have a 10-year-old, a 6-year-old, and a 2-month-old). A wealth of up-to-date information, coupled with innovative solutions to common problems.

Program Your Baby's Health: The Pregnancy Diet for Your Child's Lifelong Well-Being

Author: Barbara Luk

Cutting-edge research in a new field known as "metabolic programming" reveals a startling fact: what a mother eats during pregnancy has a far greater effect on her child's future development, overall health, and resistance to disease than was previously known. In fact, adult chronic illnesses, long blamed on an unhealthy lifestyle or genetic influences, are now believed to be a direct result of the uterine environment during pregnancy.

Now, thanks to this pioneering new book, women can "program" their baby's future health by eating right, gaining the appropriate amount of weight, and avoiding toxings—starting even before conception. Dr. Barbara Luke, a nationally recognized expert in the field of public health nutrition, provides a complete, practical nutrition and lifestyle program that covers the entire pregnancy, month by month—and the first two years of a baby's life. Here is everything women need to know to raise the healthiest baby possible, including: An introduction to the revolutionary science of metabolic programming; practical nutrition through all nine months; important tips for a child's first two years; practical strategies that protect a child against hypertension, diabetes, and obesity; special dietary needs of pregnant women in every age group; quick, easy menus, helpful charts, and checklists; and new strategies for overcoming morning sickness.

About the Author
Barbara Luke, ScD., M.P.H., R,D,. a professor of obstetrics and gynecology, directs a successful prenatal program for mothers of multiples at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. She is also a practicing dietitian and the author of Every Pregnant Woman's Guide to Preventing Premature Birth and When You're Expecting Twins, Triplets, or Quads.

The Fit or Fat Woman or Triumph Over Shyness

The Fit or Fat Woman

Author: Lea Bishop

Specific diet and exercise advice that addresses the particular needs of women, including chapters covering metabolism, hormones, and social pressures. This book combines physiological knowledge, aerobic and strength exercises, and diet basics.

Publishers Weekly

Bailey and Bishop contend, reasonably, that being thin and being fit aren't synonymous. Rather, the percentage of fat in one's body is critical: the average woman's body contains as much as 22% fat, and lower levels are considered unhealthy. The coauthors survey the similarities and differences in men's and women's body builds, their respective metabolic needs and the dynamics of male and female weight loss and gain. They also repeat what we already know: women have a more difficult time keeping fit and trim. The familiar health benefits and psychological boon of exercise are discussed, as well as the problems--e.g., bulimia and anorexia--of overzealous dieting. Throughout, Bailey, a fitness workshop instructor, and Bishop, his assistant, plug his program for weight control, based on the one used at Bailey's Fit or Fat Center in Oregon. Far too much of the book is anecdotal, offering little scientific substantiation, and the authors' tone can be irksome (to women they advise, ``Most important, don't overlook the man in your life. He is your closest ally, your best buddy''). (May)

From her own struggles with food addiction, hypnotherapist Greenberg (The Right Weight) developed a program for breaking physical and emotional dependence on sugar, carbohydrates and caffeine. An ordained minister and founder of Wellness Seminars, Greenberg has used her techniques in hospitals and corporate settings to help people lose weight and stop smoking. Here, she guides readers through exercises to uncover negative beliefs, strengthen intention, gain awareness of individual foods' effects on the body and develop a healthy lifestyle. To rid the body of addictive substances, lessen withdrawal symptoms, naturally boost energy and impart inner calm, she recommends a two-week cleansing emphasizing vegetable juices; balanced, whole meals consisting of complex carbohydrates, animal protein and healthy fats; deep breathing; and movement. Affirmations, visualization and self-hypnosis are used to recognize deeper needs that readers may be trying to meet with food. People who feel trapped in compulsive food behaviors will benefit from Greenberg's minute examination of the subconscious roots of addiction. (July)

Or Perish in the Attempt: Wilderness Medicine in the Lewis and Clark Expediton

Author: David J Peck

An urgent-care physician with a passion for the Lewis and Clark Expedition describes its medical aspects. The two captains had to act as doctors for their own men, Sacagawea and baby Pomp, and also treated many Indian nations met along the way. But they used the primitive medicines and theories of 1803, which often called for doing just what shouldn't be done, or what had no effect. Dr. Peck describes the trip from St. Louis to the Pacific Ocean and back, emphasizing the illnesses and accidents, and how the captains dealt with frostbite, severe cuts, appendicitis, venereal disease, pelvic inflammatory disease, mental illness, parasites, skin infections, snowblindness, gunshot wound, dislocated joints, muscle spasm, and more. Anecdotes from his own practice enrich the information he gathered from current medical publications. He also presents medical and anecdotal evidence supporting the theory that Meriwether Lewis died from suicide rather than murder. Index.

Booknews

What People Are Saying

Claudia Black
George DuWors is one of the first clinicians to connect family of origin issues with relapse behavior. For that I thank him.
—MSW,PhD, Author of It Will Never Happen to Me and Double Duty

Lorie Dwinell
This is an extraordinarily practical and useful book, the kind that can only be written by a seasoned clinician..
—MCW,BCD, Author of After the Tears, Reclaiming the Personal Losses of Childhood

Steve Morris
There are thousands of reasons why addicts relapse -- but George DuWors has identified a common cognitive pathway that they all go through, and in doing so has given the student and practitioner new tools in the efforts to prevent relapse and enhance recovery.
—MA, Director, Addiction Studies Program, Seattle, University, Seattle, WA

Lawrence J. Lombard
At Springbrook Northwest we see many patients with a lot of education and a lot of prior treatment. DuWors' focus on the moment of relapse brings home to them that it is the chemical free mind which picks up the first drink. The concept of subliminal craving makes sense to these folks, healing sense.
—NCACII, Springbrook Northwest, Newberg, Oregon

Terry Seaholm
At last! An approach to relapse that is simple, experiential, and connected to principles of recovery. I have read and reread this book. And I have run DuWors' observation about the moment of relapse past thousands of patients. All I get is nodding heads and sheepish grins.

Glumlot Letters

Author: M Stanley

With wit and humor, this delightful work covers the serious matter of recovery from alcoholism. In the same way that C.S.Lewis's The Screwtape Letters taught spiritual principles, Glumlot presents a practical application of the Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous.

In letters to a fellow devil, Glumlot writes about his attempts in tempting a human away from A.A., sobriety, and recovery. He discusses meetings, sponsorship, the Big Book and the Steps in great detail, and warns that these can lead a human to "...an intractable infection of serenity by the Enemy [God]."

Audrey DeLaMarte

In a wickedly delicious parody of C.S. Lewis' Screwtape Letters, Stanley M. turns his sights on the Twelve Steps and the recovery process. The Glumlot Letters are correspondence between two devils, Twigmold and Glumlot, and the subject is tempting a human away from AA, sobriety and recovery.

Twigmold's "patient" has begun drinking to excess and he's delighted. Glumlot warns him, however, not to take heart too soon, to examine the quality of the blackouts. If the blackout "blocks the light of the Enemy," and suspends rational judgment, it is a triumph for the Lowerarchy and an excellent opportunity for Twigmold to make his appearance and make his patient feel "abandoned and utterly hopeless."

The patient, however, turns to AA and is poised on the threshold of Step Four, to Twigmold's dismay. Don't worry, says Glumlot. Convince him that he can do it by himself and that it has to be an exactly perfect "scorching and clueless" inventory.

Whatever the author aims at, he hits a bullseye, and he doesn't miss a misunderstanding about the Steps or a place where we can trip over human egoisms and fall on our recovering faces. If we've had a stumbling recovery, probably this book will show us where our problems lie.

What People Are Saying

Paul O.
Now here's something different. So much recovery literature is trite and even corny. The Glumlot Letters is well thought out, well worded and well worth reading.

Frank D.
What do other authors of 12-step books say?
I love your book!! What a great idea! I just devoured it when it was recommended to me. I went back to get another copy for my father...

Gerry McD.
What do people in the treatment profession say?
I think every AA sponsor ought to read it... everybody in treatment settings or professional staff ought to read it. It's a great piece of work.

Charles B.
What do owners of 12-step bookstores say?
This is a gem...full of humor, spiritual insights, experience. A 10-strike!

LizAnn A.
What do regular AA members say?
The real surprise was how the book improved the quality of the program I was working!

Gods Diet or Wisdom CHI Kung

God's Diet: A Short and Simple Way to Eat Naturally, Lose Weight, and Live a Healthier Life

Author: Dorothy Gault McNeme

Finally, the end to fad diets!

We've all tried the impossible-to-maintain trendy diets that often deliver immediate results only to backfire the moment our vigilance wanes. God's Diet is the only diet you'll ever need. And once you become accustomed to healthy eating, this "diet" will simply become your new lifestyle. Learn the absolute way to sustained weight loss by adopting a complete, delicious, natural diet. There are no annoying calculations, no food exchanges — no fall-off-the-wagon syndrome. Dr. Gault-McNemee teaches you:

        How to trim down and improve your health and energy effortlessly

That everything you need to lose weight is at your local grocery store—no pills, powders, or shakes

How to get in the habit of choosing natural, wholesome food over gimmicky "diet" food, fast food, and food full of sugar and additives

That weight loss can be a straightforward, successful, and lasting process

God's Diet is the solution to chronic dieting because it relies on the simplest, most tried-and-true food path to health and healthy eating — one our society has chosen to ignore for decades. Just remember, if God didn't make it, don't eat it!

Library Journal

Gault-McNemee, a physician in New Mexico who had been overweight most of her life, developed this unconventional diet "knowing that there really had to be a healthy way to eat good food and feel satisfied." The result of her own struggles and of working with overweight patients in her practice, this book, which she first self-published in 1996, uses as its guideline the motto "If God didn't make it, don't eat it." In other words, we should limit our intake to what we can pick, pluck, scale, or butcher. The book argues that we are slowly killing ourselves by what we eat, especially refined sugar; another section gives case examples from the author's patients showing how effective the diet has been for them. A large part of the book is devoted to recipes; Gault-McNemee also includes lists of allowable foods, forbidden foods, and swing foods--not all good, not all bad, and to be used sparingly. Her presentation is logical, building a convincing case for this lifelong eating plan. For consumer health collections and in public libraries. [Previewed in Prepub Alert, LJ 9/1/99.]--Mary J.

Wisdom Chi Kung

Author: Mantak Chia

HEALTH / MARTIAL ARTS

Wisdom Chi Kung teaches practitioners how to revitalize the brain: to repair function, increase memory, and expand capacity. Every day we use up so much of our brain’s power that we have very little left at the end of the day. By thinking or worrying too much, the brain can use up to 80 percent of the body’s entire energy reserve. Learning to stop the brain, to empty the mind from the ceaseless chatter of the “monkey mind,” and then recharge it with chi energy can increase our mental capacity, focus, and clarity.

Using the Inner Smile meditation technique, practitioners learn how to recharge the brain with chi energy in a form that is most useful. Practitioners smile and empty the mind into the lower tan tien and the organs. The organs then transform this chi energy. When the mind is empty, the energy transformed by the organs is sent back to the brain to revitalize it. This process synchronizes the left and right brain by activating and tapping in to the body’s energetic potentials. As the mind continues to empty, receive, and also enhance the transformed chi energy, it is able to open itself to connect with universal chi energies and fill the body with enhanced life force.

A student of several Taoist masters, MANTAK CHIA founded the Universal Healing Tao System in 1979 and has taught and certified tens of thousands of students and instructors from all over the world. He is the director of the Tao Garden Integrative Medicine Health Spa and Resort training center in northern Thailand and is the author of 31 books, including The Inner Smile, Taoist Cosmic Healing, and the bestsellingThe Multi-Orgasmic Man.
