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…)

Pregnancy & Childbirth Tips (Hardcover)

Pregnancy & Childbirth Tips

Review

“Spurred by the experience of what would have been a normal birth instead made difficult and dangerous by routine intervention; author Gail Dahl did her homework, gathered evidence, and wrote a book that she hopes will change childbirth for women and babies. The chapters of Pregnancy & Childbirth Tips themselves are arranged according to each month of pregnancy. They address basic concerns with practical advice, and offer plentiful information on interventions, their effects and how to avoid them. Dahl follows with a chapter on making labor easier, a chapter for partners, and three chapters on postpartum care for both mother and baby. This book is densely packed with an impressive array of information. It s a remarkable work that will truly inform women who are looking for the truth. I highly recommend it for any practitioner s library. The health and well-being of future generations relies on this kind of information.” Midwifery Today Magazine –Midwifery Today (more…)
