Gastrointestinal Dysregulation: Connections to Chronic Disease (Functional Medicine Clinical Monographs) (Paperback)

Gastrointestinal Dysregulation: Connections to Chronic Disease (Functional Medicine Clinical Monographs)

Increasing evidence demonstrates that imbalances in gastrointestinal immune responses, permeability, and microflora contribute to the epidemic of chronic disease. While disease in the gastrointestinal tract itself may be easily recognizable, medical practitioners trained in an organ-system model may not recognize how inflammation that begins in the gut may manifest in signs, symptoms, and dysfunction throughout the body. In an era of high stress, poor diet, environmental contamination, and heavy pharmaceutical use, patients are particularly vulnerable to impairments in gut function and thus to debilitating illness. This monograph responds to the urgent need for education and new approaches in the treatment of complex, chronic disease.

Vaginas: An Owner’s Manual (Paperback)

Vaginas: An Owner's Manual

From Publishers Weekly

This empowering, sex-positive guide to womanhood is for anyone who has ever found herself uninformed or misinformed about her own machinery. Topp, a single, 20-something writer, teams up with her mother, Livoti, a seasoned gynecologist, to demystify the female reproductive system. The younger author felt lucky to grow up with a mother who was knowledgeable and forthcoming about the female anatomy, especially when she reached her teen years and realized that most of her friends weren’t so lucky. Too many women are uncomfortable discussing their private parts with friends or even doctors, say the authors, and this can lead to misconceptions about their own bodies. Despite the catchy title, this is a deep examination of the body. Starting with an overview of the basic organs, then moving into menstruation, maintenance, menopause and medical problems, the authors investigate every nook and cranny of those elusive female parts. They explore sex, contra (more…)

Immunotics: A Revolutionary Way to Fight Infection, Beat Chronic Illness, and Stay Well (Hardcover)

Immunotics: A Revolutionary Way to Fight Infection, Beat Chronic Illness, and Stay Well

Review

A firm belief in their readers’ intelligence guides coauthors Robert Rountree, M.D. (coauthor of Smart Medicine for a Healthier Child and A Parent’s Guide to Medical Emergencies) and Carol Colman (coauthor of Stop Depression Now and The Antioxidant Miracle) through this clearly written guide, beginning with an eye-opening chapter on antibiotics and their consequences. As a result of their frequent misuse, due to doctors misprescribing them and patients not taking their full prescriptions, tougher bacteria are on the rise and weakened immune systems are increasingly common. While Rountree (the primary voice here) advocates the use of antibiotics and applauds their lifesaving abilities, he warns of their dark side. Rountree urges patients to take proactive steps toward better health by combining proper nutrition, vitamin supplements, a positive attitude, and an “immune friendly environment.” He calls this powerful combination immunotics and (more…)
