Book Description
Avoid mammograms. Switch off birth control drugs-and progestin menopausal drugs, too. Lose your excess fat NOW! Stop holding onto those highly stressful jobs and relationships. Counterintuitive as these may seem, each is among Busting Breast Cancer's Five Simple Steps, documented to effectively prevent breast cancer, thanks to recent developments in our metabolic understanding of cancer. Each reduces your risk of breast cancer by 30 to 80 percent! Dr. Susan Wadia-Ells' shocking new book questions the presumed wisdom of most so-called authorities: National Academy of Medicine, American Cancer Society, Susan Komen, and mainstream cancer centers. And why wouldn't we question their wisdom? At least 30 percent of women treated for early-stage breast cancer go on to develop metastatic breast cancer-practically guaranteeing their early death. Physicians must report each recurrence to state registries. But you may be surprised to learn the industry and its federal partners keep these numbers hidden. Perhaps they're just too embarrassing to share. Dr. Wadia-Ells does not pussyfoot around. A journalist with graduate degrees in political economy and women's studies, she aims to change US culture on women's behalf. Reviewing thousands of studies while researching this book, she discovered the 2012 landmark text, Cancer as a Metabolic Disease, by Boston College biologist Thomas Seyfried, PhD who lays out the complete biological explanation of how a person's first cancer cell develops. Effective prevention is now possible! Take off the pink ribbons. Stop running for the cure. Keep vitamin D3 above 60 ng/ml. Get rid of the carbs. Practice meditation. Stop suffocating your breast cells' "batteries"-your fragile mitochondria. Take charge; stop that first breast cancer cell before it's ever born. Busting Breast Cancer also proposes political actions: demand the FDA allow affordable $30 hormone-free IUDs; promote breast self-exams; mandate equal insurance coverage for ultrasound screenings and early-prevention thermography. Against a multibillion-dollar industry with too much financial incentive to abandon its failing direction, who can change the course of breast cancer prevention and treatment? YOU can! Only women have the self-interest to do it. And now, with Busting Breast Cancer, you'll have the knowledge, too.

Empower yourself with facts and strategies to understand your breasts, reduce your cancer risk, and open your eyes to interventions and treatments. Most women don’t want to hear about breast cancer unless they have it and need to make some decisions, but these days news about breast cancer—the number one killer of women ages twenty to fifty-nine—is everywhere. Chances are you know someone who has had it. But did you know that choices you make every day bring you closer to breast cancer—or move you farther away? That there are ways to reduce your risk factors? And that many of the things you’ve heard regarding the causes of breast cancer are flat-out false? Based on Dr. Kristi Funk’s experience as a board-certified breast cancer surgeon, she knows for a fact that women have the power to reduce breast cancer risk in dramatic ways.

This book will help you: Learn the breast-health basics that every woman should know Reduce your cancer risk and recurrence risk based on food choices and healthy lifestyle changes backed by rigorous scientific research Understand the controllable and uncontrollable risk factors for breast cancer Outline your medical choices if you're at elevated risk for or are already navigating life with breast cancer There have been few solid guidelines on how to improve your breast health, lower your risk of getting cancer, and make informed medical choices after treatment—until now.

Book Description
Cheryl Swanson was inspired to write Busting Loose when a confluence of events had her undergoing treatment for breast cancer, adopting a child from Guatemala and writing her first suspense novel-all at the same time. More than a quarter-million women will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year in the United States. Many of these women will succumb to the passive role of a medical victim, not realizing that alone might kill them. Busting Loose shows women how they can use the light of their cancer experience to climb the mountains in their lives. It explains how to deal with fear in a positive way. Most of all, it encourages women to never let their diagnosis limit them and to get back quickly to what ignites their passions and brings them balance and peace.

Book Description
From award-winning science journalist Linda Geddes, a fascinating and practical companion for expectant parents that makes sense of conflicting advice about pregnancy, birth, and raising babies. Can I eat peanuts during pregnancy? Do unborn babies dream? Can men get pregnancy symptoms too? How much do babies remember? How can I get my baby to sleep through the night? The moment she discovers she’s pregnant, every woman suddenly has a million questions about the life that’s developing inside her. Linda Geddes was no different, except that as a journalist writing for New Scientist magazine she had access to the most up-to-date scientific research. What began as a personal quest to find the truth behind headlines and information that didn’t patronize or confuse is now a brilliant new book. In Bumpology, Geddes discusses the latest research on every topic that expectant parents encounter, from first pregnancy symptoms to pregnancy diet, the right birth plan, and a baby’s first year.

Book Description
A decade ago Leaf, a cancer survivor himself, began to investigate why we had made such limited progress fighting this terrifying disease. The result is a gripping narrative that reveals why the public's immense investment in research has been badly misspent, why scientists seldom collaborate and share their data, why new drugs are so expensive yet routinely fail, and why our best hope for progress-- brilliant young scientists-- are now abandoning the search for a cure.

Book Description
A generation ago, fewer than 5 percent of girls started puberty before the age of 8; today, that percentage has more than doubled. Early puberty is not just a matter of physical transformation—it’s also deeply psychological, with a myriad of effects that can put a girl at higher risk for behavioral problems and long-term health challenges. In this reassuring and empowering guide, Louise Greenspan, MD, and Julianna Deardorff, PhD—two leading experts on the root causes and potential consequences of early puberty in girls—deliver vital advice on how to prevent and manage early puberty. They explain surprising triggers—from excess body fat to hormone-mimicking chemicals to emotional stressors in a girl’s home and family life—and offer highly practical strategies, including how to limit exposure to certain ingredients in personal care and household products, which foods to eat and which to avoid, ways to improve a child’s sleep routine to promote healthy biology, and more. The New Puberty is an engaging, urgently needed road map to helping young girls move forward with confidence, ensuring their future well-being.

Book Description
Winner of the Pulitzer Prize and a documentary from Ken Burns on PBS, this New York Times bestseller is “an extraordinary achievement” (The New Yorker)—a magnificent, profoundly humane “biography” of cancer—from its first documented appearances thousands of years ago through the epic battles in the twentieth century to cure, control, and conquer it to a radical new understanding of its essence. Physician, researcher, and award-winning science writer, Siddhartha Mukherjee examines cancer with a cellular biologist’s precision, a historian’s perspective, and a biographer’s passion. The result is an astonishingly lucid and eloquent chronicle of a disease humans have lived with—and perished from—for more than five thousand years. The story of cancer is a story of human ingenuity, resilience, and perseverance, but also of hubris, paternalism, and misperception. Mukherjee recounts centuries of discoveries, setbacks, victories, and deaths, told through the eyes of his predecessors and peers, training their wits against an infinitely resourceful adversary that, just three decades ago, was thought to be easily vanquished in an all-out “war against cancer.” The book reads like a literary thriller with cancer as the protagonist. Riveting, urgent, and surprising, The Emperor of All Maladies provides a fascinating glimpse into the future of cancer treatments. It is an illuminating book that provides hope and clarity to those seeking to demystify cancer.
