Wilfrid and Evan Shute were curing various forms of cardiovascular disease with a vitamin.

Dr. Yutsis'' theory posits that cancer is a well-connected whole-body disease linked to lifestyle, diet, age and how the different body systems function. Dr. Yutsis has identified ten specific factors, including genetics, sugar, obesity, stress and toxins, that make it easier for cancer to get a foothold and become more aggressive and tougher to combat. Dr. Yutsis details the powerful, safe, integrative treatments that he recommends which combine conventional and alternative methods that he uses in his complementary practice, methods he first encountered when training in his native Russia, where they didn''t distinguish between conventional and alternative approaches to medicine--''whatever helped was considered appropriate treatment. Dr Yutsis'' treatments -ranging from healthy nutrition, vitamins, supplements, herbs and oxygen therapy, to acupuncture, exercise and numerous other forms of bodywork-have delivered positive results in combating cancer. The doctor emphasises that he and his colleagues in this field constitute a new breed of doctors you can turn to for effective help.Dr. Yutsis wrote this book, he says, to make people with cancer more aware of how the benefits of this complementary route can help them survive the seemingly unsurvivable disease of cancer.

Food allergies affect millions of people including children and currently there are no known ''cures'' for these allergic reactions. The eight primary food allergies are to milk, eggs, wheat, soy, peanuts, tree nuts, fish and shellfish, though someone may, also, be allergic to medication. Even trace amounts of a food allergen can cause a reaction. Symptoms like breathing difficulties, trouble swallowing, fainting or sharp increase in heart rate usually show up within minutes of exposure, though some take several hours or even twenty-four hours. So early identification and strict avoidance of known food allergens are essential to prevent serious health consequences. Schwartz recommends observing children carefully for patterns and discussing them with your paediatrician. A colicky baby might be allergic to milk or a nappy rash might show up every time after an infant eats eggs. Skin and blood tests are essential for a definitive diagnosis. After Schwartz details the obvious and hidden sources of the eight main types of food allergies and shares savvy allergen-avoidance techniques, she devotes five chapters to various challenges and how to cope with them, in schools and restaurants, on public transport and other enclosed spaces and during family holidays. Another chapter is chock-full of recipes like chewy granola bars, made without nuts or wheat and homemade vanilla ice cream, made without milk. Besides providing a wealth of helpful advice, Schwartz''s overall message is supportive and positive: "It''s absolutely possible to live a full, active life with your food allergies."

Breast cancer has reached epidemic proportions in the United States. Once a relatively rare disease, it now affects 2 to 3 million women, and the incidence is going up at an alarming rate. What can we do about it? Christine Horner, M.D., has the prescription: Take healthy organic foods, add a good dose of certain supplements, get the rest and exercise we need, and avoid those things that are bad for our bodies. We each have a Warrior Goddess in us, and it's time to set her free. A pioneer who pushed through federal and state legislation ensuring that breast reconstruction after a mastectomy would be paid for by insurance companies, Dr. Horner lost her own mother to breast cancer. She decided then that her mother's death would not be in vain. Something good would come from it. This legislation was her first gift to her mother's memory, and this book is another. Useing the metaphor of the Warrior Goddess, this book explains something that Ayurveda describes as our "inner healing intelligence." It also explores the various foods and supplements that can enable women to successfully fight breast cancer and claim the healthy body that should be theirs. Dr. Horner tells readers what to avoid and what to embrace, what will poison the Warrior Goddess and what will feed her and what she needs to thrive.

Modified citrus pectin (MCP) is an amazing substance backed by impressive research. In this book, you'll learn that in addition to having the same beneficial effects as pectin, from which it is derived, MCP also has the extraordinary added benefit of protecting against cancer, cancer progression, and heart disease. Of all diseases, MCP has been studied most extensively for prostate cancer, one of the most common cancers in men. MCP has been shown to slow PSA doubling time, to stop the spread of prostate cancer, and to kill prostate cancer cells. Moreover, you'll learn how it may lower cholesterol, reduce atherosclerosis, remove heavy metals and environmental toxins from the body, and prevent and reduce the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease.
