When Words Heal or Diane Irons 14 Day Beauty Boot Camp

When Words Heal: Writing Through Cancer

Author: Sharon A Bray

An insightful and useful book for anyone whose life has been touched by cancer, When Words Heal explores the power of words to heal. Dr. Sharon Bay provides step-by-step instructions for those wanting to lead a writing group for women living with cancer, or for those who simply wish to write through their experience of cancer. With her compassionate and informative manner, Dr. Bray structures each chapter as a writing session. Each chapter includes writing exercises, support resources, interviews with cancer survivors, and excerpts from a number of cancer survivors’ writings. By writing through cancer, readers discover the resilience of human spirit and create a supportive community. Writing and telling a story in a supportive environment releases something deeply vital that can heal each person, even when it can not cure. Readers can not help but be touched by the words of other cancer patients, and, in the gentle and encouraging voice of the author, be inspired to help others write their stories.

Manual Joslin Para la Diabetes/The Joslin Guide to Diabetes: Un Programa Para El Manejo De Su Tratamiento

Author: Richard S Beaser

Mientras que más de catorce millones de norteamericaños sufren de diabetes, la proporción se incrementa de manera considerable entre la población hispana, ya que los hispaños tienen dos veces mayor propensión de desarrollar esta enfermedad que otros grupos. Las estadísticas señalan que al llegar a los cuarenta y cinco años de edad, uno de cada diez hispaños estará enfermo de diabetes. Después de los cuarenta y cinco años, uno de cada cuatro hispaños habrá sido diagnosticado con este padecimiento.

La diabetes es un padecimiento complicado que amenaza la vida misma, pero hoy en día los diabeticos pueden reducir sus riesgos y llegar a tener una vida más duradera, feliz, y productiva si cuentan con un plan para el manejo y control de su tratamiento. El Manual Joslin para la Diabetes, elaborado por el famoso Centro Joslin para la Diabetes, es el libro más adecuado para la atención personal, indispensable para todos aquellos que padecen esta enfermedad.

El Centro Joslin para la Diabetes es considerado cómo el instituto de investigación y clínica más importante del mundo en el estudio y el tratamiento de este mal, lo que hace al Manual Joslin para la Diabetes el libro más actual en la materia. Escrito bajo la dirección del doctor Richard Beaser, en colaboración con Joan Hill y un equipo de expertos, en este libro se presentan todos los aspectos esenciales para que los propios pacientes sean quienes controlen su enfermedad. Se trata de un libro práctico, actualizado, y accesible, escrito en un lenguaje claro y sencillo. Se apoya engráficas y cuadros sobre que, cómo y cuándo comer; cómo verificar el contenido de los azúcares en la sangre; cómo administrar insulina y medicamentos por vía oral; cómo controlar las alzas y bajas de azúcar; y cómo y cuándo hacer ejercicio.

Thinner at Last

Author: Steven Lamm

For the first time, permanent weight loss can be achieved through a remarkable program that ends food victimization through the use of medication. In "Thinner at Last," Dr. Steven Lamm explains how two medications (fenfluramine and phentermine) taken together actually enhance the body's natural inclination to be thin and healthy. In this book, you will also learn how to determine whether you are a candidate for the medications; locate a knowledgeable, sympathetic physician; distinguish fact from fiction concerning the benefits and risk of Redux (dexfenfluramine); liberate yourself from yo-yo dieting and food obsessions; and calculate how much weight you can expect to lose—and how quickly.This plan has helped countless Americans realize their dreams of being thinner at last—not for a month or a year, but a lifetime.

Silver Linings or Tell Me What to Eat As I Approach Menopause

Silver Linings: Breaking Through the Clouds of Depression

Author: Florence Littauer

When you're depressed, it's as if there's a cloud hovering over your days. Everything is gray, daily life is too much effort, and it's easier just to stay in bed. It's a feeling Florence Littauer remembers well. As a young mother, she suffered some intense personal blows and began to see her life as hopeless. But her story didn't end there. Through God's grace, Florence began to realize that there could be a silver lining to her life, and that she could move past the cloud that had enveloped her.

With the authority of one who has counseled hundreds of women and has been there herself, Littauer offers practical solutions for getting out from under depression. Silver Linings also provides Scripture-based guidance for those who find themselves living with or informally counseling people with depression. Above all, Silver Linings offers help, hope, and the promise of a brighter day for those who struggle with depression.
