Описание: An accessible and reassuring guide to childhood health and immunity from a pediatrician who's both knowledgeable about the latest scientific research and respectful of a family's risk factors, health history, and concerns In The Vaccine-Friendly Plan, Paul Thomas, M.D., presents his proven approach to building immunity: a new protocol that limits a child's exposure to aluminum, mercury, and other neurotoxins while building overall good health. Based on the results from his pediatric practice of more than eleven thousand children, as well as data from other credible and scientifically minded medical doctors, Dr. Paul's vaccine-friendly protocol gives readers - recommendations for a healthy pregnancy and childbirth - vital information about what to expect at every well child visit from birth through adolescence - a slower, evidence-based vaccine schedule that calls for only one aluminum-containing shot at a time - important questions to ask about your child's first few weeks, first years, and beyond - advice about how to talk to health care providers when you have concerns - the risks associated with opting out of vaccinations - a practical approach to common illnesses throughout the school years - simple tips and tricks for healthy eating and toxin-free living at any age The Vaccine-Friendly Plan presents a new standard for pediatric care, giving parents peace of mind in raising happy, healthy children. Praise for The Vaccine-Friendly Plan "Finally, a book about vaccines that respects parents If you choose only one book to read on the topic, read The Vaccine-Friendly Plan. This impeccably researched, well-balanced book puts you in the driver's seat and empowers you to make conscientious vaccine decisions for your family."--Peggy O'Mara, editor and publisher, Mothering Magazine "Sure to appeal to readers of all kinds as a friendly, no-nonsense book that cuts through the rhetoric surrounding vaccines. It offers validation to those who avoid some or all, while offering those who do want to vaccinate help on how to do so safely. This is a great book for anyone with children in their lives."--Natural Mother "A valuable, science-supported guide to optimizing your child's health while you navigate through complex choices in a toxic, challenging world."--Martha Herbert, M.D., Ph.D., Harvard Medical School "An impressively researched guide, this important book is essential reading for parents. With clear and practical advice for shielding children from harmful toxins, it will compel us all to think differently about how to protect health."--Jay Gordon, M.D., FAAP "Rather than a one-size-fits-all vaccine strategy, the authors suggest thoughtful, individualized decisions based on research and collaboration between parents and clinicians--a plan to optimize a child's immune system and minimize any risks."--Elizabeth Mumper, M.D., founder and CEO, The Rimland Center for Integrative Pediatrics "This well-written and thought-provoking book will encourage parents to think through decisions--such as food choices and the timing of vaccines--that affect the well-being of their children. In a world where children's immune systems are increasingly challenged, this is a timely addition to the literature."--Harriet Lerner, Ph.D., bestselling author of The Dance of Anger and The Mother Dance
Описание: A finalist for a Books for a Better Life Award, this eye-opening, must-read book arms parents with the information they need to make informed decisions about their own health and the health of their babies. In Your Baby, Your Way award-winning journalist Jennifer Margulis explores our current cultural practices during pregnancy, childbirth, and the first year of a baby's life, challenges advice given to new mothers, and encourages parents to question what they're told about prenatal and infant care. Margulis explains how financial interests often skew the treatment we give to mothers and infants, investigating topics such as: - How the diaper industry perpetuates delays in potty training - Why cesareans are increasingly prevalent - Why more women don't breastfeed Based on meticulous research and in-depth interviews with parents, doctors, midwives, nurses, health care administrators, and scientists, Margulis's impassioned and eloquent critique is shocking, groundbreaking, empowering, and revelatory. Going beyond the advice in theWhat to Expect books, Your Baby, Your Way inspires and empowers, helping couples have a happier, healthier pregnancy and childbirth, and "motivates women to ask 'why?' before blindly agreeing to everything their doctor orders" (Booklist).
If anyone you know is struggling with addiction--or if you think you might have a problem--you want to read this book."--GARTH STEIN, bestselling author of The Art of Racing in the Rain
a proven, comprehensive program that compassionately guides the reader to a place of resolution--DAVID PERLMUTTER, MD, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Grain Brain, and, Brain Maker
a massive achievement and a giant step forward for addiction medicine--ANNIE GRACE, author of This Naked Mind
Drug overdose is now the leading cause of death for Americans under fifty. Even as opiate addiction skyrockets, more people than ever before are hooked on alcohol, sedatives, cigarettes, and even screens. The face and prevalence of addiction has changed and evolved, but our solutions to addiction are stuck in the past.
We've been treating addiction as a black or white issue, a disease you either suffer from or will never suffer from. The problem with this model is that it doesn't account for the incredible forces working against all of us, pushing all of us toward addiction: stress, undernourishment, sleep-deprivation, vitamin D deficiency, and isolation, not to mention a flawed medical system and corrupt pharmaceutical companies doling out prescriptions at every turn.
The truth: Addiction is a disease that, like many others, exists on a spectrum. We are more vulnerable to becoming addicted to substances at certain points in our lives and based on the evidence provided in The Addiction Spectrum, most effective at kicking addiction when we take a holistic approach. With the help of the 13-point plan and individual protocols detailed in this book, you have the power to change your destiny. No one understands this more than Dr. Paul Thomas, who recovered from alcohol addiction early in his career and founded one of the most effective rehabilitation centers for teens and young adults in his hometown of Portland, OR. Named one of the top family doctors and one of the top pediatricians in the country, Dr. Paul is also board-certified in both integrative medicine and addiction medicine. This unique combination of specialties is intentional: Dr. Paul has devoted his entire life and career to saving lives.
Using the best conventional medicine alongside the new science of alternative health, Dr. Paul has treated thousands of patients with the life-saving solutions provided in The Addiction Spectrum. Addiction is a compendium of often devastating circumstances that have gone unchecked by society for far too long. This book is a positive light and guide to overcoming not only addiction but the challenges and obstacles that affect us all.

Описание: A groundbreaking look at Gaia theory’s intersections with neocybernetic systems theory Often seen as an outlier in science, Gaia has run a long and varied course since its formulation in the 1970s by atmospheric chemist James Lovelock and microbiologist Lynn Margulis. Gaian Systems is a pioneering exploration of the dynamic and complex evolution of Gaia’s many variants, with special attention to Margulis’s foundational role in these developments.Bruce Clarke assesses the different dialects of systems theory brought to bear on Gaia discourse. Focusing in particular on Margulis’s work-including multiple pieces of her unpublished Gaia correspondence-he shows how her research and that of Lovelock was concurrent and conceptually parallel with the new discourse of self-referential systems that emerged within neocybernetic systems theory. The recent Gaia writings of Donna Haraway, Isabelle Stengers, and Bruno Latour contest its cybernetic status. Clarke engages Latour on the issue of Gaia’s systems description and extends his own systems-theoretical synthesis under what he terms “metabiotic Gaia.” This study illuminates current issues in neighboring theoretical conversations-from biopolitics and the immunitary paradigm to NASA astrobiology and the Anthropocene. Along the way, he points to science fiction as a vehicle of Gaian thought. Delving into many issues not previously treated in accounts of Gaia, Gaian Systems describes the history of a theory that has the potential to help us survive an environmental crisis of our own making.

Описание:
The Big Spider Who Learned How to Swim(R) is the heart-warming story of a spider with a kind disposition and a love of adventure who is taught how to swim by a kindly fish who saved the spider's life after it fell into a lake and nearly drowned. The spider then encourages his peers as he teaches them how to safely cross a puddle.
This feel-good, rhyming Read-to/Read-along story is appropriate for pre-school & elementary school-age children as it inspires the spirit of kindness, empathy and appreciation.
This rhyming story is written as told by the female author who tells of finding a spider who is drowning in a puddle. "I saw a spider drowning in a puddle. I removed him and saved his life. He took a deep breath, smiled at me and asked, will you be my wife?" The sweetness of this encounter sets a delightful pace for a happy tale to ensue wherein the spider hugs the lady goodbye and sets off on an adventure. The spider encounters friendly creatures such as a bluebird and a dragonfly, each giving him a ride on their backs. When the spider falls in the water and once again finds himself in peril, his life is saved by a fish named "Tim" who teaches him how to swim. The spider reflects on his adventure and feels gratitude and loving appreciation for the lady, the bird, the dragonfly and for Tim.
Later, the spider is with a group of "spidery friends" and as they approach a puddle, he explains that they will not walk around the puddle but will swim through it. He told them of his adventures and he taught them how to swim. Expressing thanks to their friend for teaching them how to fearlessly cross the puddle, they happily went on their way.
The story ends with the lady author once again encountering her "spider friend", congratulating him on learning how to swim. She asked him if he found it hard, and he replied "My dear lady", he said, "it was scary at first then became easy after awhile".
The feel-good story ends with the author appreciating the spider. "As I waved again to my sweet spider friend I knew he would be okay. He is brave and kind and has a smart mind, and I know he will return one day".
This story may serve to awaken the reader's awareness that by being kind and helpful to one another, no matter how different we are (e.g. spider and human), happiness and success may prevail.
