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.
