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…)

Bacteria: Webster’s Timeline History, 1995 – 1998 (Paperback)

Bacteria: Webster's Timeline History, 1995 - 1998

Webster’s bibliographic and event-based timelines are comprehensive in scope, covering virtually all topics, geographic locations and people. They do so from a linguistic point of view, and in the case of this book, the focus is on “Bacteria,” including when used in literature (e.g. all authors that might have Bacteria in their name). As such, this book represents the largest compilation of timeline events associated with Bacteria when it is used in proper noun form. Webster’s timelines cover bibliographic citations, patented inventions, as well as non-conventional and alternative meanings which capture ambiguities in usage. These furthermore cover all parts of speech (possessive, institutional usage, geographic usage) and contexts, including pop culture, the arts, social sciences (linguistics, history, geography, economics, sociology, political science), business, computer science, literature, law, medicine, psychology, mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology and oth (more…)
