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.

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.

This is the West Suffolk CBT Service's latest and most developed book on depression. We have made this book more user friendly, with access to on-line, downloadable CBT worksheets.


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.

Based on the author’s personal journey in search of the ideal diet for human consumption following her suffering from cancer, weight issues, eating disorders and raising her two mentally challenged daughters with epilepsy which led her to study for three university degrees in the fields of medicine, nutrition, biochemistry, immunology and human behavioral science as well as countless diplomas in alternative medicine and therapies. The Guerrilla Diet and Lifestyle Program is based on her research, unbiased facts and over 20 years of clinical experience in search of the healthiest diet for human consumption. This book holds the secret to the ideal diet for humans which the food industry has been trying to hide from us. In fact, this diet is not really a diet, but rather a total lifestyle program backed by solid scientific evidence from many different scientific fields combined, including genetics, evolutionary science, anthropology, zoology, medicine, and nutritional sciences. This book holds the knowledge and step by step guidelines to apply the ideal diet for human consumption along with precise lifestyle habit changing plans to support you on your path to optimal health, vitality, and longevity. Kirkus review: "A diet and lifestyle guide based on evolutionary science... At the age of 16, Goldfarb (The 6 Principle Strategy for Creating a Successful & Happy Life, 2015, etc.) became obsessed with finding the perfect diet. At the time, she struggled with eating disorders, and as an adult, she faced two bouts of cancer. She now has multiple degrees in nutrition and medical science, and here, she analyzes the similarities between humans and gorillas to explore the diet that restored her health. She divides the guide into two sections: the first traces evolutionary evidence of why her diet works, and the second outlines the lifestyle itself. Anthropology buffs will be impressed with the depth of Goldfarb’s supporting research, which makes up two-thirds of the book. Epigenetics—the study of how genes are expressed, based upon external or environmental factors—provides the basis for her theory for the ideal human diet. Gorillas have much in common with humans, she says, but the foods they consume stand in contrast to the typical Western diet. In captivity, gorillas who were fed processed foods suffered from obesity, heart disease, high cholesterol, and sugar addiction; after returning to their natural high-fiber, low-protein, and low-fat diet, the animals thrived. Similarly, she says, humans would benefit from a return to the food that led them to succeed as a species. Goldfarb provides examples of the consequences of eating too much animal protein, dairy, and processed foods, which may scare any burger-loving American reader straight. Taking on a natural, mostly plant-based diet, she says, helps people break free from disease and general malaise. For readers who aren’t convinced, Goldfarb provides evidence that leading an unhealthy lifestyle can predispose one’s children to disease and early death. The description of the Guerrilla/Gorilla Diet is dissimilar to those of other diets in that it provides intricate scientific and historic explanations. Such comprehensiveness may almost be too dense for casual readers, but even those seeking a new route to better health will find detailed 12-week and 30-day plans to follow as well as a bounty of food charts. A highly scientific, impressively researched map to better health through a plant-based diet.”

This book is a finalist for the 2016 Readers' Favorites Award. It was awarded a President's Award in Humor and another in Health for 2016 from the Florida Authors and Publisher's Association. From multiple award-winning author, Angelina Assanti, comes this humorous look at life as a cancer patient. From radical surgery to chemo and radiation, she's been through it all. Determined to keep her sense of humor, she reveals the difficulties cancer patients face when it comes to friends, families, co-workers and treatment. This book is a must-read for anyone who has been touched by this life-changing diagnosis. Readers' Favorite gave this book five stars and said,"Assanti's prose is beautiful and she knows how to connect with readers through her masterful use of humor." and book "Can be aptly described as hilarious, a rare gift to cancer patients and those who take care of people suffering with terminal illnesses." In July of 2015, Angelina learned that she had cervical cancer. When she went for treatment at the local cancer center, and entered the bookstore there, she noticed all that they sold were clinical books. When she asked the clerk at the shop why there weren't any humorous books about cancer, the lady scoffed at her and said no one would want a funny cancer book. Angelina said she was sick of reading educational books and wanted a funny cancer book. She knew if she couldn't get one, she had to write one! And after talking to many patients and health care providers in the building, she discovered they all wanted funny books about cancer too! The patients wanted to read them and the staff wanted to hand them out to their patients. Angelina describes what it's like to be a cancer patient and go through the procedures. Besides any physical changes involved, all cancer patients go through psychological changes. No matter if you have Stage I, Stage II, Stage III or Stage IV, every cancer patient experiences the same things. This is especially true when it comes to other people finding out and dealing with the disease. This book is also helpful to friends and families of the patient, so they can understand what someone with this diagnosis is going through. Though the subject is serious, because Angelina is a comedy writer, she has a hard time taking everything seriously. So, even people who don't have cancer enjoy the book and appreciate the humor.

Dr. James Rota is a pioneer in holistic dentistry. After 50 years in dentistry, he is sharing his uncommon story about biological dentistry, the dangers of mercury fillings, and what you can do to save yourself and to stop the madness of mercury in dentistry.

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.
