Title: Healing the New Childhood Epidemics

Publisher's Summary:

Leading medical innovator Kenneth Bock, MD, has helped change the lives of more than 1,000 children, and in this important book he offers help to children everywhere. This is the book that finally puts hope within reach. Doctors have generally overlooked the connections among the 4-A disorders, despite their concurrent rise and the presence of many medical clues. For years the medical establishment has considered autism medically untreatable and utterly incurable, and has limited ADHD treatment mainly to symptom suppression. Dr. Bock and his colleagues, however, have discovered a solution - one that goes to the root of the problem. They have found that deadly modern toxins, nutritional deficiencies, metabolic imbalances, genetic vulnerabilities and assaults on the immune and gastrointestinal systems trigger most of the symptoms of the 4-A disorders, resulting in frequent misdiagnosis and untold misery. Dr. Bock's remarkable Healing Program, drawing on medical research and based on years of clinical success, offers a safe, sensible solution that is individualized to each child to help remedy these root causes.

Publisher's Summary:

True stories about people who triumphed over seemingly impossible medical diagnoses using untraditional, inventive therapies and perseverance - and about what scientists are discovering on the psychology of healing and the mind-body connection - from the author of the New York Times Magazine article about her own son, "The Boy with the Thorn in His Joints", which led to this book about other families.

Better alternatives available

It is hard to know how to review this book. The writer is talented. However, the downsides are significant. The stories vary quite a bit. Some rely on the well-documented relationship between health and nutrition, including various diets that have become widely adopted (i.e. the Paleo Diet). Others seem to be a bit more quackery, where the described patient gets well through a series of seeming psychological changes. The latter are hard to take seriously. I also found it a bit off-putting how every story, minus Dr. Wahls', seem to come from upper class individuals with enormous resources to investigate their health issues. Where were the stories from everyday Americans not on the East Coast?

The narration is also a bit hard to take. She has the NPR voice. If you can listen to NPR for 10+ hours, you can listen to this book. Perhaps it was the narrative style of the writing that exacerbated this.

Overall, this is not a book I would recommend to others beginning on their health journey. If the writer had used more consistent stories, I might say otherwise.

So very informative

I love the style of how she made me feel part of the book ;

Timely

Well written and easily understood by those people that need it most. An even handed approach to the prevailing science. A crack in the wall that will allow energy medicine to take its rightful place integrated in and as a complement to Western medicine.

Brave people refusing to take no for an answer

I really enjoyed the families showcased and the dedication shown in seeking cures when the odds were so against them. I was sorry to see it end. Inspiring.

Title: Mind over Meds

Subtitle: Know When Drugs Are Necessary, When Alternatives Are Better and When to Let Your Body Heal on Its Own

Author: Andrew Weil MD

Narrator: Andrew Weil MD

Format: Unabridged

Length: 6 hrs and 56 mins

Language: English

Release date: 05-02-17

Publisher: Hachette Audio

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 22 votes

Genres: Science & Technology, Medicine

Publisher's Summary:

Too many Americans are taking too many drugs - and it's costing us our health, happiness, and lives.

Prescription drug use in America has increased tenfold in the past 50 years, and over-the-counter drug use has risen just as dramatically. In addition to the dozens of medications we take to treat serious illnesses, we take drugs to help us sleep, to keep us awake, to keep our noses from running, our backs from aching, and our minds from racing. Name a symptom, there's a pill to suppress it.

Modern drugs can be miraculously life-saving, and many illnesses demand their use. But what happens when our reliance on powerful pharmaceuticals blinds us to their risks? Painful side effects and dependency are common, and adverse drug reactions are America's fourth leading cause of death.

In Mind over Meds, best-selling author Dr. Andrew Weil alerts listeners to the problem of overmedication, and outlines when medicine is necessary, and when it is not. Dr. Weil examines how we came to be so drastically overmedicated, presents science that proves drugs aren't always the best option, and provides reliable integrative medicine approaches to treating common ailments like high blood pressure, allergies, depression, and even the common cold. With case histories, healthy alternative treatments, and input from other leading physicians, Mind over Meds is the go-to resource for anyone who is sick and tired of being sick and tired.

Members Reviews:

Very informative and interesting. Excellent, as I expected from Dr Weil

Yet again, Dr. Well has presented a brilliant collection of important information about how to make decisions which can really impact your life in a good way.

Very informative

this is a book that I will revisit over the years time and time again it is very informative and will never go out of date.

Best Practices Approach to Taking Medications

Great go-to resource. A must have in your library. Whether you take maintenance drugs or occasionally for a specific problem that arises, this book will help you understand what you are taking, why you are taking it, and what your options are for complimentary alternatives to get back to good health.

great book...gives alot of insight medication

loved it...I read all of doc. weils books..very informative on over medicating....makes one think of their overall health...we have one life to live..we might as well live it weil!

out of date and bad advise

This book wasnt for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

someone who likes a good book of fiction. i exaggerate a little. book does have a lot of problems.

What was most disappointing about Andrew Weil, MDs story?

there is so much wrong with this book that i'm just going to focus on one small area. the author is constantly mixing up relative risk with absolute risk. statins at best prevents one heart attack per 100 over 5 years (absolute risk reduction 1%) not 33% (which author cites as if absolute risk reduction when in fact it is relative risk reduction). this is a "big effect" according to author because he is mixing up relative with absolute risk.

impressive

Impressive! I found this book to be very helpful. As someone with limited knowledge of Alzheimerâs, I feel much more well-informed because of the information provided in the book. The book also outlined the different responsibilities that come with being a caregiver and how those can affect your relationship with your loved one. I also enjoyed the statistics that were included throughout the book regarding caregivers. Really worth recommending!

Do not waste your money on this "guide" which is simply 30 pages of restated superficial information you can get from any Alzheimer's website. The author presents no credentials which qualify her for anything beyond this brief summary of information that is available for free from many other sources. The preface states the "publication is sold with the idea that the publisher is not required to render accounting, officially permitted or otherwise, qualified services." There is no bibliography and not a single reference to a scientific authority. Save your money.

Members Reviews:

Still not a bad book though

I haven't read it all as I have a ten month old baby, but I was expecting it to be more of a text book on various genes, but it is much more of a novel about the genes, descriptive and lyrical writing. If you're looking for a 'how to' with lists, this isn't it. Still not a bad book though.

Five Stars

It is all I expected.

WHAT AN EXCITING JOURNEY, LIFE-GIVING AND GREAT TO READ!

What an amazing gift of knowledge comes to all of us lucky enough to buy this book! I was caught up in the story-telling talents of the author, a revered and renowned scientist no less, who shares the secrets of our genetic journey to boost our basic understanding. By doing so he helps us discover new ways to improve our health from diet to movement to meditation!

Thanks to Dr. Paul we enjoy state-of-the-art research results to help us take charge of our future.

The book begins with an exciting invitation to take this "Walkabout for Health" From the very first pages we embark upon a reading adventure. Dr. Paul tackles some of the old myths including skin pigmentation and provides some eye-opening scientific research insights into color and race.

Most of all, Dr. Paul explores the meaning of the genetic code in each and everyone of our lives to help us translate it into a higher quality of lifestyle and longevity. The book sheds light on new pathways we can pursue in our elusive quest for the so-called "fountain of youth."

Cover-to-Cover this is a life-changing book, delightful to read and explore.

This is an outstanding book that explains so much about our health, in plain English.

When we read the title of a book like The Genetics of Health: Understand Your Genes for Better Health by Sharad P. Paul, MD, many of us would say, âI think Iâll lie down and let the feeling pass.â If you do, you will miss a great deal.

Normally, this is not the type of book we would read. But, we really would have missed a very wonderful book.

Title: Mercies in Disguise

Subtitle: A Story of Hope, a Family's Genetic Destiny, and the Science That Rescued Them

Author: Gina Kolata

Narrator: Andrea Gallo

Format: Unabridged

Length: 8 hrs and 31 mins

Language: English

Release date: 03-21-17

Publisher: Recorded Books

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 23 votes

Genres: Science & Technology, Medicine

Publisher's Summary:

New York Times science reporter Gina Kolata follows a family through genetic illness and one courageous daughter who decides her fate shall no longer be decided by a genetic flaw.

The phone rings; the doctor has the results. "Are you ready, Amanda?"

The two people Amanda Baxley loves the most had begged her not to be tested. But she had to find out. If your family carried a mutated gene that foretold brutal illness and you could find out if you inherited it, would you do it? Would you confront it, accepting whatever answer came? Or ignore it while you could?

In Mercies in Disguise, acclaimed New York Times reporter and best-selling author Gina Kolata tells the story of the Baxleys, an upstanding family in small-town South Carolina. Many of them were doctors, but still, they are struck down by an inscrutable illness. Finally they discover the cause of the disease after a remarkable sequence of providential events.

Meanwhile science, progressing for 50 years along a parallel track, handed the Baxleys a question - not a cure but a blood test that would reveal who had the gene for the disease. Science offered another dilemma - fertility specialists had created a way to spare the children.

A work of narrative nonfiction in the tradition of the The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, Mercies in Disguise tells the story of a family that took matters into its own hands when medicine could not help. It's a story of a family dealing with unspeakable tragedy without being driven apart. It is the story of a young woman - Amanda Baxley - who faced the future, determined to find a way to disrupt her destiny.

True Medical Mystery

Fascinating true story of a lovely SC family cursed with a rare and terrible genetic disease that manifests itself in middle age. Well told, kept my interest to the end. I was very anxious to hear the outcome of the screening tests that some of the family members sought and how they are trying to put an end to this tragic legacy.

Could Not Finish

I enjoy science-related books and am fond of medical "mysteries," but I found this book exceedingly slow in developing. The characters weren't as fleshed out, but at the same time I was not interested in the aside that a Kuru researcher was--much later in his career-- jailed for what I read between the lines as paedophilia. I increased the speed and managed to finish 25% of the book. At this point I'm not interested or invested in finding out what the mystery disease is.

Publisher's Summary:

Discover the confidence that buoys author Joan Becker and her family as they push for reform in the broken mental health system before more lives are ruined. Their story offers hope, help, and heart-felt compassion.

"Joan Becker has a generous spirit and kind heart that come forward in this book. By sharing her family's experience she hopes to help other families struggling with mental illness feel less alone. That's a tremendous accomplishment when the illness causes feelings of isolation and hopelessness for parents who are desperate to help their suffering child. The mental health system can and should be better, and this book inspires all of us to do everything we can to make it so." - US Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA)

Members Reviews:

I would highly recommend this book

It opened my eyes to how much the Becker family went through. How FAILED our mental health care system is. Joan did give some resources which I feel are helpful. I have passed the book on to another person I believe will benefit from reading the book. I would highly recommend this book.

You won't be able to put this book down!!!

Joan's book is a MUST READ, I could not put it down!! It is my prayer that, b/c of Joan's book we will see a change in our health care system so that a tragedy like this never has to happen again!!! Joan's book was important to me as mental health issues hit close to home. I hope Joans book will open the public's eyes about mental health, it is a brain DISEASE not something that the patient should be ashamed of or try to hide. When we STOP the idea that a brain disease is something to be ashamed of we will see more and more people not afraid to get the HELP they so desperately need and deserve.

A must read!!

By far this is the best book I have ever read. A must read for all. Especially for those who have a child, family member or friend that is trying to cope with mental illness alone due to lack of resources. The book covers the trials, tribulations and unfortunate tragedy of a loving family trying to navigate a much broken mental Heath system as they seek help for their son.

"Incredible" is all I can think of after reading this book!!! A must read!!!

The book reveals the inner workings of life, illness, and God! I couldn't have more respect and appreciation for what they (and family and friends) went through and continue to today. I also have a deep respect for Jan Thomas' reaction and support. Joan...incredible book! Thank you for sharing! XOXO. God's peace and love to all of you!

Will Make You Empathize

I really enjoyed this book. While it's a topic not many want to talk about, I applaud Joan Becker for stepping up and being forthright. It made me empathize with the people who have mental illness, as well as their families. This is a fairly quick read, not to mention hard to put down, as I read it in one sitting.

If your life or the life of someone you love has been hijacked by pain, you're not alone. One out of every three US adults lives with chronic pain - pain that can rob you of your vitality, confidence, friendships, intimacy, and even your will to live. But it doesn't have to be that way. That's why the experts at Mayo Clinic have teamed with The Great Courses to craft this research-based guide to pain relief and recovery.

In The Mayo Clinic Guide to Pain Relief, Barbara K. Bruce, PhD., L.P., provides a tried-and-true framework for coping with chronic pain. Dr. Bruce's scientific explanations and biology-based suggestions can help you create a vibrant and fulfilling future for yourself, in spite of chronic pain.

Based on a scientific understanding of the causes of pain and behaviors that make pain better or worse, Dr. Bruce explains why opioids do not work for chronic non-cancer pain; how to empower yourself by developing appropriate "SMART" goals that are Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Time-limited; and how social support affects your physical health. You'll learn about the extraordinary complexities in your brain's interpretation and management of pain and the multifaceted relationships between pain and stress.

This course provides a practical guide for building an appropriate health care team and creating an individualized pain-management program with your physician that addresses the issues of physical stamina, stress management, social support, sleep, and mood. Dr. Bruce doesn't want you to wait for a cure or pain relief before you move back into your life. "I want you to begin living your life today", she says. And with this course, you'll be on your way.

For Chronic pain suffer's this is a must hear

Who was your favorite character and why?

Not pertinent.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

This lecture is the next best thing to actually attending Mayo's program in Rochester. It will undoubted help you with both understanding how chronic pain works and also help you line up some solutions that will help you for the rest of your life.

Good ideas for the chronic pain

I have had cancer so some of this did not apply. I am in chronic pain now with another disease, I hope this will help me with some relief.

I found the info very informative if not a bit basic.

Very Informative

I received more answers about how to handle chronic pain than in two decades of searching among multiple doctors.

Very informative!

This was my first Great Course and it has made me want to listen to more of them. This was a Great use of my time.
