Editorial Review:

Between your full-length mirror and high-school biology class, you probably think you know a lot about the human body. While it's true that we live in an age when we're as obsessed with our bodies as we are with celebrity hairstyles, the reality is that most of us know very little about what chugs, churns, and thumps throughout this miraculous, scientific, and artistic system of anatomy. Yes, you've owned your skin-covered shell for decades, but you probably know more about your cell-phone plan than you do about your own body. When it comes to your longevity and quality of life, understanding your internal systems gives you the power, authority, and ability to live a healthier, younger, and better life.

You: The Owner's Manual challenges your preconceived notions about how the human body works and ages, then takes you on a tour through all of the highways, back roads, and landmarks inside of you. After taking a quiz that tests your body of knowledge, you'll learn about all of your blood-pumping, food-digesting, and keys-remembering systems and organs.

Just as important, you'll get the facts and advice you need to keep your body running long and strong. You'll find out how diseases start and how they affect your body -- as well as advice on how to prevent and beat conditions that threaten your quality of life. Complete with exercise tips, nutritional guidelines, simple lifestyle changes, and alternative approaches, You: The Owner's Manual gives you an easy, comprehensive, and life-changing how-to plan for fending off the gremlins of aging. To top it off, you'll also get the great-tasting and calorie-saving Owner's Manual Diet -- a thirty-recipe eating plan that's designed with only one goal in mind: to help you live a younger life.

Welcome to your body. Why don't you come on in and take a look around?

Editorial Review:

For years nutritionists and health practitioners have urged North Americans to eat more fruits and vegetables. Why? Because these foods are low in fat, and are important sources of essential vitamins, minerals and fiber. Yet many of us -- even the most health conscious -- still don't consume the recommended 5 to 10 servings a day.

So what's the solution? For some people, the answer lies in vitamin and herbal supplements, both of which have enjoyed explosive sales growth over the past decade. But recent research suggests that whole, natural foods are still the best source of nutrients. And there's no easier or more effective way to add fresh fruits and vegetables to your diet than by juicing them.

Now, with The Juicing Bible, there's a new and comprehensive source of information for anyone who wants to explore the health benefits of juicing. Here you'll find a fully illustrated reference documenting the nutritive values and healing properties of over 100 fruits, vegetables and herbs. There's also a special section that addresses 60 common health conditions -- with prescriptive advice for using specific juices, as well as beneficial dietary and lifestyle changes. And, of course, there are the juicing recipes themselves -- over 150 of them, including flavorful juices (sample a Crimson Cleanser or Beta Blast), smoothies (try the Pump It Up or Cool Down), tonics, bitters, coffee substitutes and healing teas.

With helpful sidebars, health tips and preparation techniques throughout, The Juicing Bible is jam-packed with information. It's a BIG book -- the biggest we've ever published -- and it's an essential guide for anyone who wants to explore all the nutritional benefits that natural foods can provide.

Why Juice?

  • Research has shown that freshly juiced fruits and vegetables contain literally thousands of natural chemicals that simply aren't provided by nutritional or vitamin supplements. These substances, called phytochemicals, are only now being understood; but a number of studies suggest that they play an essential role in ridding the body of potential carcinogens, as well as protecting against cellular damage.
  • Fresh juice (unlike commercially prepared juice) contains a number of enzymes, which are essential to the proper function of the human metabolism
  • Juicing removes much of the indigestible fiber in fruits and vegetables, which means that a substantially larger amount of available nutrients can be absorbed by the body. One study has shown that a carrot, when juiced, delivers 100 times the beta-carotene of a carrot eaten whole.

Fascinating--excellent book 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

Another book showing how emotions we bottle up and bury are still in us--not forgotten--and can cause us physical pain. A method for getting rid of the hurts/emotions is The Script contained in this book. Useful charts with physical pain and possible emotional causes that are at minimum food for thought! Also word association section which is great for reference. I also appreciate that spirituality plays a large role.
I believe there is a personal "readiness" factor (which has to do with anyone rating a mind/body book negatively). Some are just not ready to hear this kind of stuff yet. Some would say in disbelief "what! my knee hurts because I'm inflexible?" yet it makes so much sense! Westerners are conditioned to think that every pain is structural in origin, which is simply not true. I've had my own pain that was indeed healed by emotional healing. It takes effort to get rid of these feelings, but it's so worth it!
I enjoyed this book and definitely recommend it (yes, there are some typos esp. at the beginning). Invaluable information.

Editorial Review:

Karol Truman has brought together in one book, Feelings Buried Alive Never Die...the best of the best. She not only tells you why you feel the way you feel, but how these feelings all started. She then goes on to tell you how YOU can easily transform these undesirable feeligs so that they no longer hinder your growth. What a gift!

Wannabe practitioner beware 2 out of 5 stars.
22 of 28 people found this review helpful.

I will admit that while I lived in West Africa, I had a copy of Where There Is No Doctor on my shelf, and that I consulted it on a frequent basis. As a public health worker, it was an invaluable resource at the time. However, this was not the only book I had on hand, and I certainly didn't view it as the Medical Bible that so many cavalier explorers think it is. The simple fact is, unless you have adequate training to perform any sort of diagnosis or treatment, YOU SHOULD NOT DO SO, and you will probably do more harm than good. This book DOES NOT make you a medical professional to any degree whatsoever. It is also filled with horrible ideas that "might work" (that is a direct quote). Teaching people to rinse out condoms (as the French Language version suggests) or using bisected lemons as impromptu cervical caps is dangerous and totally irresponsible. There is no way in hell anyone who has simply leafed through this book is ready to deliver a baby. That is ridiculous. Sure, most of the time a mother will pretty much deliver her baby herself, but if something goes wrong, and you don't have the experience, you little tour into obstetrics is likely to kill the mother and/or the child.
There is enough misinformation in the rural areas of the developing world already, and this book has the potential to take lives. Even in the most dire of situations, untrained yahoos should not be tempted into thinking that they can diagnose even the simplest of bacterial infections and prescribe the proper antibiotic.
Another thing that this book does is take cultural health information that has evolved amongst native peoples, and it simplifies it so that other people can "try" it. There is a scarily simple illustration of a technique for circumcision in this book that has the potential to lead to the loss of a little boy's penis. In cultures where circumcision is practiced there is (almost) always a dedicated practitioner who performs such rites, and either has done hundreds (or thousands) of them, or has studied under the previous practitioner as an apprentice. i.e. this person is practiced, and has experience. This person is NEVER some wiseguy who got a copy of Where There is No Doctor from a friend, along with a rusty pair of scissors. Trying to circumcise a boy with the helpful sketch provided by this book would be ludicrous. God forbid some charlatan gets ahold of this book and comes to the great idea that he should be his village's "doctor." Many of the techniques in this book must be performed in an aseptic manner to reduce the chance of infection, but they are not done in such a manner in the book.
That being said, the book can be a powerful tool for public health workers who do not have a strong background in clinical medicine. But it must be used cautiously, with supplemental information. There are innumerable fallacies in this book, and the author has taken little care to edit it. I'm sure the man means well, but really what he's done is reassure people who've watched too much ER that they can be doctors too.
Honestly, the book should be re-edited, and many of the techniques should be removed, as they have the potential to cause more harm than good. If you want to help the developing world, support the local Ministry of Health, and empower them to either place trained nurses in the area, or to sponsor traditional healers and midwives to get the vital bits of training they need, training that can bridge the gaps in their significant knowledge base. Proper health networks are not built by medical tourists and short-stay medical missionaries who want to play doctor. They are constructed from the inside by countries who have people working to distribute resources and fight against corruption. If you want to help, pick up a few bags of cement and build a village health center that can be kept clean, but don't pick up a syringe and act like you know what you're doing.

Editorial Review:

Hesperian's classic manual, Where There Is No Doctor, is perhaps the most widely-used health care manual in the world.

Useful for health workers, clinicians, and others involved in primary health care delivery and health promotion programs, with millions of copies in print in more than 75 languages, the manual provides practical, easily understood information on how to diagnose, treat, and prevent common diseases. Special attention is focused on mutrition, infection and disease prevention, and diagnostic techniques as primary ways to prevent and treat health problems.

This 2007 reprint includes new material on preventing the transmission of blood-borne diseases, how HIV/AIDS is reflected in many health issues, and basic Antiretroviral treatment information, as well as updated information on children and aspirin, stomach ulcers, hepatitis, and malaria treatments.

Editorial Review:

In THE SPECTRUM, Dr. Ornish shows us how to personalize a way of eating and a way of living based on your own health goals, needs, and preferences. Here’s how it works:

Since THE SPECTRUM is about freedom of choice, there is no diet to get on and no diet to get off. Nothing is forbidden. No guilt, no shame, no pressure. THE SPECTRUM is based on love– joy of living, not fear of dying. Feeling better, not denying yourself pleasure.

First, determine your health and wellness goals. Do you want to lose weight? Do you have high cholesterol? Is diabetes a problem in your family? Based on your individual needs and goals, THE SPECTRUM has examples of six individually-tailored lifestyle programs ideally suited for you: lowering cholesterol, losing weight, lowering blood pressure, preventing/reversing diabetes, preventing/reversing certain types of prostate and breast cancer, preventing/reversing heart disease.

Each personalized plan in THE SPECTRUM has 3 components: Nutrition, Stress Management, and Exercise.

The Nutrition Spectrum
The Nutrition Spectrum consists of five groups. Group 1 is the healthiest end of the spectrum and Group 5 is the least healthful end. To determine your current place on the Nutrition Spectrum, find the group that contains the foods you tend to eat most of the time. Then, according to your needs, preferences, and goals, decide how far and how quickly you want to move in a more healthful direction. For example, if you typically eat predominantly foods in Group 4 and you want to lower your cholesterol 50 points, begin by incorporating more foods from Groups 2 and 3. If that’s sufficient to achieve your goal, great; if not, you can move more towards the healthier end of THE SPECTRUM by consuming more foods from Groups 1 and 2.

In general, the closer you move towards Group 1, the more benefits you’re likely to gain and the more quickly you’ll experience them. If you’re healthy, you many not need or want to make very many changes at all–the “ounce of prevention.” On the other hand, if you are trying to reverse heart disease or diabetes, you’ll probably need to make bigger changes–the “pound of cure.”

The recipes by Art Smith for THE SPECTRUM are designed so that each base recipe is in Group 1. Depending on your health and wellness goals, each recipe offers healthy variations. For example, the Vegetable Chili recipe is a delicious version of a classic recipe that begins in Group 1 with predominantly plant-based whole foods that are very low in fat, sugar, salt, and calories. Variations listed at the end of the recipe include adding a cup of pitted higher-fat black olives (which moves this recipe to a Group 2 dish) and/or adding one pound of turkey breast sausage to the recipe (which moves this recipe to a Group 4 dish).

The Stress Management Spectrum
Stress can have a negative impact on just about every part of your body. It can suppress your immune function, cause a heart attack or stroke, increase your risk of cancer, delay wound healing, promote inflammation, cause you to gain weight, impair your memory, cause depression, exacerbate diabetes, and worsen sexual function. Just for starters. Stress also makes you age faster even at a genetic and cellular level.

(over)
Some people thrive on stress, and it doesn’t cause them to get sick. Studies have found that they can turn it on when needed, but they can also turn it off.

They have appropriately elevated levels of stress hormones at work during the day, but their stress hormones drop sharply at night. In other words, they can turn it off. In contrast, people who feel chronically stressed and anxious have stress hormones that remain elevated, and this predisposes them to a wide variety of illnesses.

Stress-management techniques can help you turn it off. They are not about withdrawing from the world; rather, they enable you to embrace it more fully and effectively.  When you're feeling less stressed, you can think more clearly and creatively, making it easier to find constructive solutions.  When you’re less stressed, you’re more empowered.

THE SPECTRUM provides you with the fundamental tools for stress management. These include:

• Breathing• Enhancement of social support
• Yoga & Meditation• Reduction of stimulants (both physical and mental)
• Exercise• Practicing forgiveness, altruism, compassion, service

A DVD of inspiring, beautiful, and peaceful guided meditations by Anne Ornish is included with every copy of THE SPECTRUM. Anne is Vice President of the non-profit Preventive Medicine Research Institute where she directs all activities related to stress management training and psychosocial support. She has advanced training in yoga and meditation and was featured on the cover of the August 2006 issue of Yoga Journal magazine.

This DVD has guided meditations of different lengths depending on where you are on the Stress Management Spectrum. Even one minute a day has value; those who would benefit from doing more are given the tools and resources enabling them to do so.

The Exercise Spectrum

You already know that exercise is good for you and that regular, moderate exercise is one of the best things you can do for your health and well-being. What you may not know is that new research is showing that exercise beneficially affects your genes, helps reverse the aging process at a cellular level, gives you more energy, makes you smarter, and may even help you grow so many new brain cells (a process called neurogenesis) that your brain actually gets bigger. Really.

Here again is another demonstration of the theme of THE SPECTRUM: your genes are not your fate. The choices you make each day in your diet and lifestyle have a direct influence on how your genetic predisposition is expressed–for better and for worse. You’re only as old as your genes, but how your genes are expressed may be modified by exercise, diet and lifestyle choices much more than had previously been believed–and more quickly.

To gain all the health benefits of regular exercise, you don’t have to join a gym, hire a personal trainer, or organize your life around 10K’s. For example, in the Women’s Health Study, a major ongoing research project involving tens of thousands of women, those who walked briskly for just 60 to 90 minutes a week–just 15 minutes a day–cut their risk of death from heart attack and stroke in half.

Do what you enjoy, make it fun, and do it regularly. That’s it. THE SPECTRUM shows you how.



FOODS IN THE NUTRITION SPECTRUM

Here is a basic breakdown of the foods in each group of the Nutrition Spectrum:

Group 1
These are the most healthful foods, predominantly fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, soy products, nonfat dairy, and egg whites in their natural forms, as well as some good fats that contain omega‑3 fatty acids. These are foods that are rich in good carbs, good fats, good proteins and other protective substances. There are at least 100,000 substances in these foods that have powerful anti‑cancer, anti-heart-disease and anti-aging properties.

Group 2
These are also predominantly plant-based but somewhat higher in fat (predominantly monosaturated fat and polyunsaturated fat) such as avocadoes, seeds, nuts. Oils are included but in small amounts, since they are so dense in calories. Group 2 also includes foods canned in water (rather than sugary syrup or oil), canned vegetables (if sodium is not too high), low-fat dairy products (1%), decaffeinated beverages, low-sodium soy sauce, and so on.

Group 3:
These foods include some seafood, some refined carbohydrates and concentrated sweeteners (in moderation), some oils that are higher in saturated fat, some reduced fat (2%) dairy products, margarines free of trans fatty acids, sweeteners containing high fructose corn syrup, and higher sodium.

Group 4
In this group foods contain additional fat, higher animal protein and fewer protective nutrients. These include poultry, fish that are higher in mercury, whole milk/dairy products, margarine, mayonnaise, pastries, cakes, cookies, and pies.

Group 5
In general, these foods are considered the least healthful. They are the lowest in protective substances and are highest in “bad fats.” Some food included in this group are red meat, egg yolks, fried poultry, fried fish, hot dogs, organ meats, butter, cream, and tropical oils.



We all need to find our place on the Nutrition Spectrum that’s comfortable and congruent with our own personal values as well as with our health needs. And it may evolve over time. The point of THE SPECTRUM is to provide you information that you can use to make informed and intelligent choices. Only you can decide what’s right for you, for only then is it sustainable.


HOW TO TRANSFORM YOUR LIFESTYLE AND YOUR LIFE

1)You have a full spectrum of nutrition and lifestyle choices.
2)Even more than feeling healthy, most people want to feel free and in control.
3)Eating bad food does not make you a bad person.
4)How you eat is as important as what you eat.
5)Joy of living is a much better motivator than fear of dying.
6)It's important to address the deeper issues that underlie our behaviors.
7)There’s no point in giving up something you enjoy unless you get something back that’s even better–and quickly.
8)Make small gradual changes or big rapid changes to create sustainable transformations in your diet and lifestyle.
9)How we approach food is how we approa...

Fabulous! Well written. 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

The book was fabulous! Well written and supported by research, not another opinion book, very logically persuasive. His supported ideas regarding the reasons our young boys are becoming unsuccessful, unmotivated, and underachieved are quite correct! We discussed these matters in book group and were greatly motivated to make changes within our own families which Dr. Sax suggested.

Editorial Review:

Family physician, research psychologist, and acclaimed author of Why Gender Matters, Leonard Sax reveals the truth about what's driving the decline of American boys--and what parents can do about it. Something scary is happening to boys today. From kindergarten to college, they are less resilient and less ambitious than they were a mere twenty years ago. As for young men, it turns out the film Failure to Launch is not far from the truth. Fully one-third of men ages 22-34 are still living at home with their parents--about a 100 percent increase in the past twenty years. Boys nationwide are increasingly dropping out of school; fewer are going to college; and for the first time in American history, women are outnumbering men at undergraduate institutions three to two.

Editorial Review:

In the battle for U.S. health care, patients and doctors are losing. .

Who Killed Health Care? shows how to win the war. . .

One of the nation's most respected health care analysts, Regina Herzlinger exposes the motives and methods of those who have crippled America's health care system-figures in the insurance, hospital, employment, governmental, and academic sectors. She proves how our current system, which is organized around payers and providers rather than the needs of its users, is dangerously eroding patient welfare and is pushing costs out of the reach of millions.

.

Who Killed Health Care? then outlines Herzlinger's bold new plan for a consumer-driven system that will deliver affordable, high-quality care to everyone. By putting insurance money in the hands of patients, removing the middleman in the doctor-patient relationship, and giving employers cost relief, consumers and physicians will be empowered to make the system work the way it should. Herzlinger describes in precise detail how her innovative program will provide

. .
    .
  • Smaller, disease-focused medical facilities that provide complete care for patients.
  • A national system of medical records that provides privacy with confidential access by approved practitioners.
  • Mandatory performance evaluations of all hospitals and all other medical organizations.
  • Mandatory health insurance with subsidies for those who cannot afford it.
. .

Who Killed Health Care? is a call to arms that must be answered; the welfare of every American hangs in the balance.

. .

�A brilliant analysis� A must-read.� � Bill George, Professor, Harvard Business School and Former CEO of Medtronic

. .

�As it becomes more and more obvious to everyone that our current health care system is unsustainable, this is the book that had to be written.� � Daniel H. Johnson, Jr. MD, former president of the American Medical Association

. .

�Regina Herzlinger�s ideas to tackle the crisis of the U.S. health care system are based on keen knowledge of the system�s existing difficulties along with insights that introduce the reader to new streamlined choices that have the potential of getting both quantity and cost under control.� � Joseph Kennedy, founder, chairman, and president, Citizens Energy Corporation, CEO, Citizens Health Care, former representative (D-Mass)

. . �Regina Herzlinger� offers a vision of the way things can be, should be, and will be sooner or later. The only question is: how long do we have to wait?� � Greg Scandlen, founder, Consumers for Health Choices

. . �Regi Herzlinger has brilliantly articulated a better way � embracing the principles of competition and innovation that cause every other sector of our economy to thrive. Discharging American health care from the ICU can only happen by putting individual Americans � not politicians and bureaucrats � back in charge of their health care decisioins.� � U.S. Senator Tom Coburn (R-Okla), M.D.

. . �Following on the heels of her landmark Market-Driven Health Care, Herzlinger lays it on the line with her expose of what many who work in the health care industry have felt in their gut. Now it is articulated in an entertaining and must-read portrayal, with you and me as the only way out.� � Dennis White, executive vice president for strategic development, National Business Coalition on Health

. . �A wonderful Orwellian romp through issues which carry a deadly irony. The killers of health care are, of course, the third parties, each of which has an itchy palm and a commitment to profit or power which exceeds the commitment to service, with each engaging the others within a politically shaped box. Rarely has the case for the public been made with so much force, foresight, and wit, and a better way forward shown so clearly.� � James F. Fries, MD, Professor of Medicine, Stanford University School of Medicine

. . �You can practically hear the war chants as Professor Herzlinger sets out her view of what�s wrong with the health care system and how to fix it. You�d best read it so you can decide which side you will be on when the battle is joined.� � Paul Levy, CEO, Beth Israel Hospital, Boston, MA

. . . . . . �Regina Herzlinger, the nation�s leading expert on consumer-driven health care, has given us a brilliant analysis of the flaws in our health care system and what it will take to get it back on track. Her latest book is a must-read.� � Bill George, Professor of Management Practice, Harvard Business School, Former CEO, Medtronic, and author of Authentic Leadership

. . �You don�t have to agree with her diagnosis and prescription for the U.S. health care system, but you do have to read her book. Once again, Professor Herzlinger has put together a well researched, well written, and very provocative blueprint for the future of health care.� Peter L. Slavin, MD, President, Massachusetts General Hospital

When SUGAR BUSTERS! hit the shelves almost five years ago, it quickly became a diet and lifestyle phenomenon.
