| 12 ESSENTIAL MINERALS FOR CELLULAR HEALTH : An Introduction to Cell Salts [David R Card] Cell salts (tissue salts) exist in every human body. They are the inorganic biochemical elements found in the blood and tissues. They are the builders and the catalysts for many essential processes, including assimilation and detoxification. This book presents a short, simple and readily accessible summary of the internal and external therapeutic uses of the twelve essential cell salts. The therapeutic use of cell salts has been extremely popular in Europe (especially in Germany) for decades. Today, homeopathic practitioners and naturopathic doctors in the United States and other countries are reviving the use of cell salts in successfully treating a spectrum of disease conditions. The word is out -- cell salts work! Most health food shops now carry these twelve cell salts, often in special displays. { 71pp, 140x215mm, August 2007; PB, £5.50, 1890772712:9781890772710 , Hohm Press } |

| CHOCOLATE : Food of the Gods [Barbara Wexler] Since the Mayans and Aztecs first ground cacao seeds in the tropical rainforests two millennia ago, chocolate has been celebrated as both the 'food of the gods' and reviled as a scourge that causes teenage acne and rots kid's teeth-among other myths. But today the ancients are being vindicated. Modern research has clearly demonstrated that dark chocolate, brimming with heart healthy flavonoids, may be one of the best things you can eat every day -- in moderation! { 32pp, 140x215mm, September 2007; PB, £2.99, 1580541127:9781580541121 , Midpoint Trade Books (Woodland Publishing) } |

Semple then reveals that cholesterol levels may not be as important a marker of cardiovascular health as inflammation and homocysteine levels. This is critical reading if you want to live a heart-healthy life! { 32pp, 140x215mm, October 2007; PB, £2.99, 1580541089:9781580541084 , Midpoint Trade Books (Woodland Publishing) } |
| COCONUT WATER FOR HEALTH & HEALING : A Natural Sports Drink & Health Tonic [Dr Bruce Fife] Coconut water is a refreshing beverage that comes from coconuts. It is a powerhouse of nutrition containing a complex blend of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, carbohydrates, antioxidants, enzymes, health enhancing growth hormones, and other phytonutrients. Because its electrolyte (ionic mineral) content is similar to human plasma, it has gained international acclaim as a natural sports drink for oral rehydration. As such, it has proven superior to commercial sports drinks. Unlike other beverages, it is completely compatible with the human body, in so much that it can be infused directly into the bloodstream. In fact, doctors have used coconut water successfully as an intravenous fluid for over 60 years. Coconut water's unique nutritional profile gives it the power to balance body chemistry, ward off disease, fight cancer, and retard aging. History and folklore credit coconut water with remarkable healing powers, which medical science is now confirming. Published medical research and clinical observation have shown that coconut water: Makes an excellent oral rehydration sports beverage; Aids in exercise performance; Reduces swelling in hands and feet; Aids in kidney function and dissolves kidney stones; Protects against cancer; Helps balance blood sugar; Provides a source of ionic trace minerals; Improves digestion; Contains nutrients that feed friendly gut bacteria; Helps relieve constipation; Reduces risk of heart disease; Improves blood circulation; Lowers high blood pressure; Improves blood cholesterol levels; Helps prevent atherosclerosis; Prevents abnormal blood clotting; Possesses anti-aging properties; Enhances immune function. { 224pp, 140x215mm, January 2008; PB, £10.99, 0941599663:9780941599665 , Piccadilly Books } |

| HORMONES, HEALTH & HAPPINESS : A Natural Medical Formula for Rediscovering Youth with Bioidentical Hormones [Steven F Hotze, MD] Dr Steven Hotze is leading a wellness revolution that advances a new model of healthcare. Unlike the prevailing medical approach of treating individual symptoms with the familiar "anti" drugs -- such as antibiotics, antihistamines, and antidepressants -- Dr Hotze addresses the underlying causes of poor health. Built around a regimen of biologically identical hormones and other natural treatments, Dr Hotze's model will help you obtain and maintain health and wellness naturally so that you can enjoy a better quality of life. In this book you are shown how to reach and maintain optimal cell, tissue, and organ functioning so that you will feel at your peak physically, mentally, and emotionally. After your twenties, your hormone levels have already peaked and begun a slow, inexorable decline that may cause you to lose energy and gain weight. You may experience mood problems or have difficulty with thinking, concentration, and short-term memory. Your immune system is likely to become less efficient, leaving you vulnerable to infectious diseases. Dr Hotze reveals how you can restore hormones to their optimal levels using natural, biologically identical hormones in a safe, effective way that preserves vitality as you mature. In his eight-point treatment program, Dr Hotze addresses the entirety of your wellness: airborne allergies, food allergies, yeast overgrowth, low thyroid function, natural hormone replacement, treatment of adrenal fatigue, nutritionally balanced eating, and vitamin and mineral supplementation. He reveals how most illnesses are due to poor dietary habits and nutrition, lack of exercise, allergic disorders that weaken the immune system and make it more prone to infection, yeast overgrowth due to overuse of antibiotics, an imbalance and decline in the body's production of thyroid and sex hormones, and stressed adrenal glands. All of these factors can be addressed safely, effectively, and naturally without drugs. { 351pp, 155x230mm, December 2005; HB, £16.99, 0976575108:9780976575108 , Greenleaf Book Group (Forrest Publishing) } |

| LIVING LONG & LOVING IT : Achieving a Healthy & Active Lifestyle [Irvin M Korr, Ph.D. & Rene J McGovern, Ph.D.] Stereotypes about the elderly are so prevalent that elders themselves often buy into them. People young and old assume that retirement is a time of inactivity, less social involvement, and inevitable physical decline. For over nine decades Dr Irwin M Korr was a living refutation of that dreary stereotype. Through a holistic approach to health, based on the principles of osteopathic medicine, he proved that healthy, vigorous, fulfilling old age and long life are the natural culmination of healthy living. In his eighties, Dr Korr was regularly playing tennis and cross-county skiing, while continuing his career as a medical educator, researcher, author, and lecturer. In this inspiring guide to achieving a healthy lifestyle at any time of life, Dr Korr explains with enthusiasm and great clarity how any reader can apply scientifically based osteopathic principles to improve quality of life and promote successful ageing. Among the principles he stresses is that the human body incorporates its own healing and defensive systems, as well as a health maintenance system. Together they form an indwelling healthcare system that is the ultimate source of health and for which each individual must take primary responsibility. By learning to develop healthy habits, we take care of the 'physician within' to ensure that our inner physician can then take care of us. Dr Korr also emphasises the importance of regular exercise and the beneficial effects that freedom of motion and physical activity bring, not only on our musculoskeletal system but also for our various internal organs, as well as our state of mind. He recommends stretching exercises such as Yoga and whatever workout routine an individual finds enjoyable, from walking to jogging, swimming, and bicycling. Finally, he makes the point that healthy ageing is a choice that anyone can make at any time of life by making beneficial lifestyle changes. { 314pp, 155x230mm, April 2008; PB, £12.99, 1591025729:9781591025726 , Prometheus Books } |

| REMEDIES & RITUALS : Folk Medicine in Norway & the New Land [Kathleed Stokker] Kathleen Stokker culls from hundreds of original documents and first-hand accounts to detail the ingredients, customs, and histories behind natural remedies, potions, whispered spells, and the infamous 'black books' used for centuries by Norway's folk healers.
