Non-Fiction - Health - Medical

Is it possible to overcome the powerlessness of addiction? Joining forces to answer this age-old question, coauthors Anderson Spickard Jr., a doctor with over forty years’ experience in addiction medicine, and James B., a recovering addict, candidly describe the harsh challenges and clearly outline the necessary steps toward healing and recovery.
Combining firsthand accounts and simplified medical insights, The Craving Brain addresses how adolescent binge drinking plays a role in the development of alcohol addiction, explains why addicts don’t need to hit rock bottom before they can recover, and responds to some of the most compelling mysteries of addiction, including:
- Why are some people at a higher risk?
- Is an uncontrollable craving a moral failing or a brain injury?
- Why can’t addicts see their problem and just quit?
- Are interventions helpful or dangerous?
- How effective are twelve-step programs?
- How is brain science transforming addiction recovery and improving treatment outcomes?
As hopeful as it is unapologetically realistic, this groundbreaking guide is a must-read for anyone who suffers from addiction or knows or works with addicted individuals. With courage, determination, and the right support, recovery is indeed possible.

Non-Fiction - Health - Medical

High Blood Pressure. Even if you haven't received the diagnosis yet, as many as three-quarters of the Western world will have to contend with high blood pressure sometime in their lives. However you no longer need to be a victim. Drs. DeRose and Steinke along with Nurse Practitioner Li draw from cutting-edge medical research and their decades of clinical experience to guide you on an amazing 30-day journey. Learn simple natural strategies that have helped many people decrease or eliminate their dependence on medications.
Other titles may promise fast results with natural blood pressure strategies but few, if any, are as comprehensive, readable, and practical as "Thirty Days to Natural Blood Pressure Control." Written by practicing medical professionals who share a passion for educating their patients, this book gives you far more than the latest information on natural blood pressure strategies. Its highly readable and user-friendly style combines a wealth of real-life stories taken from a variety of medical clinics and patient encounters. More illustrations, more data, and more compelling stories means more tools to educate and motivate you when it comes to drug-free blood pressure control. When valued in terms of the amount of information presented, this book is among the least expensive on the topic.
Furthermore, the clinicians who wrote "Thirty Days to Natural Blood Pressure Control" realize that knowledge is not enough. Most of us know far better than we do. Consequently, the book's authors essentially take your hand and help guide you to strategies that will make it more likely that you will do--and enjoy--the practical guidelines presented. As an example, the book offers a number of personal worksheets where the authors help you set and achieve realistic goals as you go through the 30-day program.

How to Befriend, Tame, Manage, and Teach Your Black Dog Called Depression Using CBT

Non-Fiction - Health - Medical

The use of the term 'the Black Dog' to describe symptoms of depression can be traced back to 40 BC when it was included in the work of the Roman poet Horace. In more recent times it was made famous by Winston Churchill, the Prime Minister of Great Britain during World War II who often referred to his Black Dog, and the Australian writer and illustrator Matthew Johnstone who wrote the best-selling book 'I had a Black Dog'.
For centuries the Black Dog has been associated with fear, intense pain, and emotional distress. In the literature the Black Dog has a formidable reputation. Run from it, and it will hunt you down relentlessly. Wrestle with it, and it will bears its fangs. Fear it, and it will stalk you unabatedly. Hide from it and it will haunt you until you are all but a shadow of your previous self. Feed it and it will become much bigger than you. For some, suicide feels like the only escape from it.
The irony, however, is that the Black Dog is misunderstood. By the time that you finish reading this book you will find out that the Black Dog is not your enemy, nothing could be further from the truth. The Black Dog is loyal and will never let you down. I had my own journey with the Black Dog for many years and at first I didn't have a good relationship with it. I felt that it was ruining my life. This was until I recognised its true intention. The Black Dog has its own language, and follows a specific set of commands and rules. Once you understand the Black Dog, how it operates, and how to communicate with it, you will find that it will happily remain in the background, rather than taking a dominant role in your life.

James E. Rota DDS

2016 Silver Medal

Check current price
Non-Fiction - Health - Medical

Dr. Rota answers questions that the American Dental Association may not want you to ask:
1. Why don't dentists know or speak about mercury in the dental filling?
2. How are teeth connected to the rest of the body?
3. What is the scientific basis for the position of both the ADA and anti-mercury filling groups?
4. How are "silver" dental fillings related to chronic diseases?
Mercury – a highly toxic element – has played a central theme in Dr. Rota’s life, from his childhood and throughout his dental career. “Silver” fillings contain 50 percent mercury. It made him sick, causing Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, burnout, depression and Epstein-Barr Syndrome, among other diseases.
As one of many people hoping to ban the use of mercury in dentistry, Dr. Rota stands by the importance of safe mercury removal protocols. Mirror of the Body chronicles his life, delving deep into the Amalgam Wars and scientific evidence, offering dentists, health professionals, and consumers an expert and revelatory view on the toxins in dentistry and their effect on the rest of the body.
