Pages : 345
Book Description
A standard blood test indicates how well the kidneys and liver are functioning, the potential for heart disease, and a host of other vital health markers. Unfortunately, most of us cannot decipher these results ourselves, nor can we even formulate the right questions to ask about them—or we couldn’t until now. In Your Blood Never Lies, best-selling author James LaValle clears up the mystery surrounding blood test results. In simple language, he explains all of the information found on these forms, making it understandable and accessible. This means that you can look at the results yourself and know the significance of each marker. Dr. LaValle even recommends the most effective conventional and complementary treatments for dealing with any problematic findings. Rounding out the book are the names of test markers that should be requested for a more complete physical picture. A blood test can reveal so much about your body, but only if you can interpret the results. Your Blood Never Lies provides the up-to-date information you need to take control of your health.

Book Description
The most effective way to protect ourselves from infectious diseases or chronic degenerative diseases is to understand the concepts of proactive intervention, preventative medicine, and lifestyle support. We have a powerful, intelligent immune system that is designed to always withstand toxic microbial inundation.Medicine has evolved dramatically even compared with 20 years ago, but every new disease requires a new response. Infectious diseases can spread quickly to many patients, warns Tasuku Honjo, a Japanese physician-scientist, immunologist, and Nobel prize winner.Although normal bodily defense systems play a significant preventative role, they are not the only things needed to stop a virulent disease. We also have several white blood cells including the B-cells, T-cells, and natural killer cells, which can mount an incredible defense against any foreign invader. All these defenses are components of the immune system. The immune system is more extensive than the entire circulatory system. It includes our lymph glands and the antibodies that are transported not only by our blood circulation but also by the immune system's own lymph fluid transport system.Exposure to pathogens plays an important role in the building of a robust immune system. It allows our immune systems to build antibodies and other defenses to protect us. This is not to say we should go out of our way to try to get sick; actually quite the opposite: support your immune system with guidelines in this book and then let it do its job by living life to the fullest.Imagine you had an American football team that planned to play against the best defensive team in the league, but they showed up with no offensive linemen and without any protection for their quarterback and running backs. Even with the best quarterback in the league and fastest running backs, they could not last more than a few plays before the big defensive lineman (bacteria) and linebackers (viruses) swarmed all over the quarterback or running backs (brain, lungs, and immune system). Before long, the team would be weakened, fatigued, battered, and bruised to the point where they would lose the battle.The sick and elderly, those with chronic illnesses, and those with chronic fatigue can be likened to this football team; they do not have the immune defenses to fight pathogens. These high-risk people will benefit the most from the protocols laid out in this book, which include nutrification, detoxification, hormonal and herbal support, and power of the mind. This book wasn't written just for older people however, it was written for everyone.We in America rank 36th in the world in life expectancy and we have more sick days than many other countries. This reflects our toxic diets and sedentary, high-stress lifestyles, and it's time we took responsibility for our health and made better choices. My clients, my children, my 85-year-old mother, my staff, and I have all implemented these protocols for a superhero immune system with great success and now you can too! As the saying goes you either invest in your health now, or you will pay later. Spending a few extra dollars on healthy food and nutraceuticals could mean saving hundreds of thousands of dollars down the road on doctors, hospitals, and insurance premiums.In this book, you will learn safe, all-natural ways to optimize your immune system to reduce your risk of contracting pathogens and minimize symptoms if you do. You will also learn why people around the world are seeking more natural solutions and breakthrough treatment methods to support rapid healing. With the multifaceted approach outlined in this book, we can dramatically reduce the recovery time from infections; cut missed workdays in half and win the battle against infectious diseases!

ISBN: 0307419932
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 370
Book Description
The “riveting”* true story of the fiery summer of 1970, which would forever transform the town of Oxford, North Carolina—a classic portrait of the fight for civil rights in the tradition of To Kill a Mockingbird *Chicago Tribune On May 11, 1970, Henry Marrow, a twenty-three-year-old black veteran, walked into a crossroads store owned by Robert Teel and came out running. Teel and two of his sons chased and beat Marrow, then killed him in public as he pleaded for his life. Like many small Southern towns, Oxford had barely been touched by the civil rights movement. But in the wake of the killing, young African Americans took to the streets. While lawyers battled in the courthouse, the Klan raged in the shadows and black Vietnam veterans torched the town’s tobacco warehouses. Tyson’s father, the pastor of Oxford’s all-white Methodist church, urged the town to come to terms with its bloody racial history. In the end, however, the Tyson family was forced to move away. Tim Tyson’s gripping narrative brings gritty blues truth and soaring gospel vision to a shocking episode of our history. FINALIST FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD “If you want to read only one book to understand the uniquely American struggle for racial equality and the swirls of emotion around it, this is it.”—Milwaukee Journal Sentinel “Blood Done Sign My Name is a most important book and one of the most powerful meditations on race in America that I have ever read.”—Cleveland Plain Dealer “Pulses with vital paradox . . . It’s a detached dissertation, a damning dark-night-of-the-white-soul, and a ripping yarn, all united by Tyson’s powerful voice, a brainy, booming Bubba profundo.”—Entertainment Weekly “Engaging and frequently stunning.”—San Diego Union-Tribune

"Vaclav Smil is my favorite author… Numbers Don't Lie takes everything that makes his writing great and boils it down into an easy-to-read format. I unabashedly recommend this book to anyone who loves learning."--Bill Gates, GatesNotes From the author of How the World Really Works, an essential guide to understanding how numbers reveal the true state of our world--exploring a wide range of topics including energy, the environment, technology, transportation, and food production.

And what makes people happy? From data about our societies and populations, through measures of the fuels and foods that energize them, to the impact of transportation and inventions of our modern world--and how all of this affects the planet itself--in Numbers Don't Lie, Vaclav Smil takes us on a fact-finding adventure, using surprising statistics and illuminating graphs to challenge conventional thinking. Packed with fascinating information and memorable examples, Numbers Don't Lie reveals how the US is leading a rising worldwide trend in chicken consumption, that vaccination yields the best return on investment, and why electric cars aren't as great as we think (yet). Urgent and essential, with a mix of science, history, and wit--all in bite-sized chapters on a broad range of topics--Numbers Don't Lie inspires readers to interrogate what they take to be true.

Book Description
NATIONAL BESTSELLER • The gripping story of Elizabeth Holmes and Theranos—one of the biggest corporate frauds in history—a tale of ambition and hubris set amid the bold promises of Silicon Valley, rigorously reported by the prize-winning journalist. With a new Afterword covering her trial and sentencing, bringing the story to a close. “Chilling ... Reads like a thriller ... Carreyrou tells [the Theranos story] virtually to perfection.” —The New York Times Book Review In 2014, Theranos founder and CEO Elizabeth Holmes was widely seen as the next Steve Jobs: a brilliant Stanford dropout whose startup “unicorn” promised to revolutionize the medical industry with its breakthrough device, which performed the whole range of laboratory tests from a single drop of blood. Backed by investors such as Larry Ellison and Tim Draper, Theranos sold shares in a fundraising round that valued the company at more than $9 billion, putting Holmes’s worth at an estimated $4.5 billion. There was just one problem: The technology didn’t work. Erroneous results put patients in danger, leading to misdiagnoses and unnecessary treatments. All the while, Holmes and her partner, Sunny Balwani, worked to silence anyone who voiced misgivings—from journalists to their own employees.
