This book explains the mechanics of enzymes within the food
processing apparati of the body. These enzymes occur in all
living things. There are approximately 3000 enzymes which exist to ward off disease, assist the heartbeat, repair tissues, digest
food and perform a variety of important functions in the body.
The author explains how proteases breakdown protein.
i.e. histidine, leucine and tryptophan

There is a pH balance which consists of acids and alkalines
in a net balancing interaction within the body. Digestion
happens in the small intestine. There are extensive secretion
processes in the body i.e.
o saliva 1000 ml.
o gastric juices 1500 ml.
o pancreas 1000 ml.
o bile 1000 ml.
o small intestine 1800 ml.
o large intestine 200 ml.

Digestive processes are disturbed with improper tooth
alignment, diminished acid secretion, pancreatic insufficiency,
celial disease, lactose intolerance, stress. Digestion can
be helped by some of the recommendations contained in this book.
Various enzyme products can facilitate the digestive processes.
Soy sauce is a well-known enzyme enhancer. In addition, raw
veggies will assist in the process of enzyme interaction.
The author reviews an overall strategy to maximize enzyme
activity within the body consisting of:
o veggies
o garlic and onion
o minimum use of aluminum
o reduced salt intake
o reduced sugar
o an increase in bulk
o no coffee and smaller meals
o pineapple and papaya
o enzyme co-energizers Co-Q 10 ( coenzyme), zinc, red meat, nuts,
B vitamins., magnesium (Mg.), iron (Fe), copper (Cu.) and
Selenium (Se)

Overall, this work has a wealth of information pertaining to
personal health maintenance. It should be in every medical/
nutritional library.

Dr. Cichoke shows how every life process depends on enzymes. He covers a broad range of subjects starting with digestion, elimination, co-enzymes, how to obtain more enzymes in your diet and through supplementation. He has a 5-step program of do's and don'ts, including avoidance of aluminum cookware, refined sugars and salt, coffee, and so on. He also tells you how and what to eat and how to prepare foods for the best utilization of enzymes. Dr. Cichoke addresses a large range of health problems from extending life to AIDS and cancer. He also covers medications that affect enzymes, including OTC drugs and prescription drugs, as well as foods that contain enzyme inhibitors. This is a great book! One I believe everyone should own. I also would strongly suggest Dr. Cichoke's book "The Complete Book of Enzyme Therapy". This book is set up very much like the "Prescription for Natural Healing", however it addresses health from an enzyme point of view. I would rate them both a 5-star, must have if you care at all about your health. This book was required reading for my Enzymes class, "The Complete Book of Enzyme Therapy" was not, but after reading this one, I wanted to know more. This book is a great intro to enzymes, the complete book goes even further. It is in fairly simple to understand language if you have a bit of medcial background, you might need a medical dictionary if not.

Readers will find this book to be very helpful, as it spells out in very simplistic terms the answers to the questions that they may or may not have thought of yet. This is a great resource for obtaining the basics on epilepsy, especially for a newly diagnosed patient.

I am so impressed with the book because it answers in very plain english, the questions a person needs to know first-off when diagnosed. The questions address not only the concerns of a person with epilepsy, but it also addresses issues that family members might want to know. The Health Record is a great way to help patients help themselves get more out of their doctor visits. The Drug and Medical Information lists important numbers of drug companies so that a person can obtain more information about the drugs they take. The resource guide is worth the book alone as it lists support groups, organizations, comprehensive epilepsy centers, summer camps, and other important contacts not just nation-wide, but internationally. Knowledge points the way to a better diagnosis with epilepsy and what questions this book doesn't address, it guides you to sources that will answer the rest.

This book is great for anyone who is interested in human anatomy. Its very easy to read and understand. The colorful pictures and illustrations will help you visualize better the human body. I recommend this book to anyone searching for a good Anatomy and Physiology book.

the book is very easy to understand

This is a very good book of Obs and Gyn which provided a lot of information on simple way. Everything what is important is bolded on each lesson. It doesn't contain many pictures and schemes and this is the only disadvantage, but that is quiet enough for good understanding. It is suitable for medical students (everything important is signed) and for physicians who work or intend to work on Obs and Gyn Department (to have some concise book for him when they can find everything they want). I highly recommend this title.

This book contains a wealth of knowledge for any caretaker of the Obstetric or Gynecology Patient. I found this book extremely easy to use as a cross reference book and it largely aided me in my research. It covers the basics, such as general female anatomy, as well as more complex issues like AIDS in pregnancy. Important information appeared in bolder print and drew my eye, making it easy to skim over in a hurry. I highly recommend this book.

Here's a 'Field Guide' destined to become dog-eared from regular use. Consider Patient X who gets mad, no matter what you do; Family B whose mother died unexpectedly on the operating table; or Patient A who can't quite commit to taking blood pressure meds. You'll find ways to better communicate with them -- or any of your patients for that matter.

Sneak a peek into the Guide's Table of Contents to find tips for specific encounters. In just 90 seconds of reading, you can learn enough to get through an impasse. If you do nothing more than learn how to use the "Pearls" at the end of each chapter, your work will be easier. --Mary K. Kouri, Ph.D. Editor, "Quality Improvement/Total Quality Management" newsletter

This Field guide is a concise paperback full of pithy one-page descriptions of challenging patients along with suggested solutions, including the exact words one might use to "unstick" an interview that is stuck. Many of these vignettes will be familiar to the medical professional, including the list-bringer, the narcotic abuser, etc. However, it is notable that many of these techniques are applicable to conversations throughout our daily lives. A must for medical professionals and students who find interviewing a "lost art" and want to learn basic as well as advanced techniques for self-improvement.

I enjoyed this book for personal reasons, but aside from that, I thought the author's perspective gave the stories depth to many of the impersonal aspects of the war. He is a great story teller, and adds that personal detail that makes them come to life. I recommend this book to young and old - in fact to anyone who wants to learn about this time period through the eyes of a young surgeon who served on five fronts and lived to tell about it.

An able and highly enjoyable job of getting the facts out with the tone of our shared WW-II experiences. Am impressed with the precision of writing. Moore has done all of us a huge favor, and I, for one, am most grateful. Brig. General Robert A. Duffy, USAF (Ret.)

This has been a very useful reference to manage my patients' fractures as a PA without a supervisor handy. The book is organized so that you can find any fracture type easily. The charts are a quick reference for reXR timing, cast type and length of immobilization. Very well liked by all of us in this ortho practice.

I bought it at a sports medicine conference where all the major publishers had similar titles, and this was was the best. This one has a great "break"down of what you need to know, to refer, to treat, to watch for. Best bang for your buck especially if you have another text to complement it.

The best EEG book ever to come along. Since EEG is a visual art, combining actual, full size EEG pages with a text explaining the relevant findings is the only way one can learn it, and the authors have done an outstanding job of this.

This book is now out; I have seen the edition. I consider it one of the most useful texts I have ever read. It is worth twice the price.

Neal Flomenbaum is the most amazing editor in the world, he contributes alot to this book and he's the best dad. Hi daddy,

Love, Adam

Parents across the country are reeling from the terror of two school shootings in less than three weeks. They are asking, "My God, what can we do?" Dr. Nelson, in Good Discipline, Good Kids, has the answer. The children who have been pushed to the breaking point of this kind of violence share a common profile. They show signs of isolation, being bullied or treated as an outsider by their peers, anger or rage, fear or terror of being abandoned and unable to feel the feelings of others.

In this quick-read simple guide to good discipline, Dr. Nelson offers a one minute, yes - one minute process in which parents are empowered to connect with their kids, impart family values, instill a conscience in their children, respond to their misbehavior and affirm their good behavior, teach them how to feel other people's feelings, deepen the child's respect and affection for the parent, lessen the child's fear of abandonment and lay a solid foundation for good relationships for the rest of their lives. If you love your kids, get this book!

My daughter really has blossomed from being an easy child already into being a dream child as a result of being exposed to Dr. Nelson's amazingly practical, helpful and wise ideas. I have given copies of this book to several friends, and everyone I know who has seen it has been highly complimentary. It's a must have for parents who want to combine heart with excellent behavior in a gentle, effective way. If only it could work with dogs! Good work, Dr. Nelson
