Many of us are haunted by the past-things we did and things that were done to us. Life is full of hardship and pain, and it's easy to hold onto the old, not allowing the new to enter our lives and bless each day. We find destructive comfort in reliving the past, but in so doing, we rob the present of its joy and the future of its promise.

It is time to let go of the past. It is time to face your regrets and past pains and shake them loose, freeing yourself to finally be happy. In "Gardens of Life," you will learn how to move on and move up to a better you and a better life. You can find your courage and find your hope, and in so doing help others who share your pain.

You have delayed your own healing for long enough. It's time to begin the process or rediscovering your joy. Heal yourself, and help others find their own strength, peace, and courage. You do not have to be a slave to regret any longer. Break the chains, face the truth, and ultimately, be set free.

Consolidating unbiased, peer-reviewed information from many sources, this book provides a one-stop resource on the use and health benefits of 50 different herbs.

This useful resource examines the history and use of herbs and will ultimately help readers make informed decisions regarding these natural therapies. The findings in the book are culled from credible sources such as international, peer-reviewed journals, providing nomenclature, history, common usage, effectiveness, and additional suggested reading on selected herbs and herbal supplements. Rather than advocating for or against alternative medicine or herb use, the book provides authoritative, unbiased, and evidence-based information so the health conscious can make informed decisions for themselves. Each entry contains a concise bibliography of resources and references

"Family Caregiving" explores one of the most precious and fulfilling gifts of love that can be given to a family member or a friend-and also one of the most difficult tasks to undertake. The difficulty increases in magnitude because many family caregivers have no formal medical training other than basic first aid. In most cases, all of their medical knowledge has come from their own life experiences with personal illnesses, accidents, and medications. In "Family Caregiving," author Brett Lewis shares his insights and the bounty of information that he learned acting as a family caregiver for both his father and his close friend.

He explains that even though caregiving is stressful, being prepared and knowledgeable can reduce stress levels and better position a family member for caregiving success. A caregiver should have a thorough understanding of the patient's personal and family medical history, current symptoms, and medical conditions. It is critical to learn how to interact effectively with medical personnel; to become familiar with hospital/rehabilitation center processes and protocols; and to learn about basic medical terminology, equipment, and procedures.

By sharing candid, real-world experiences-including his mistakes-Lewis provides a step-by-step guide that can enable the family caregiver to better navigate the journey of caregiving.

It is no secret that navigating through all the ins and outs of health care in today's world can be a challenging task.
