This is Dr Sarah Myhill’s comprehensive guide to health care for health practitioners and motivated patients alike – armed with this knowledge, wellness and an optimal health-span should be within our grasp and the grasp of all those we care for. Easy to follow, logical and evidence based, Dr Myhill shows how, if we can get the basics right, disease specific benefits will follow. She does not pretend it’s easy but the incentives are undeniable. A range of case histories – organised by body system to match earlier chapters - show how to apply the theory in this book to ourselves and to those we care for, personally and/or professionally. Using principally the PK diet, vitamin C, iodine, sleep and exercise, plus Dr Myhill’s ‘Groundhog regimes’ (so called because they require constant repetition), ecological medicine can be available to all both practically and affordably. Changes for the new edition include completely revised chapters on the PK diet, iodine, vitamin C and eye health; a greatly expanded chapter on skin health; new information throughout on covid-19, vaccinations, uric acid metabolism, tackling inflammation, importance of boron, thyroid health and treatment, plus many new references

According to the 2009 census, more than five million people living in the United States have Alzheimer's disease or some other form of dementia. Not reported in these statistics are the fifteen million family caregivers who, in total, contribute seventeen billion hours of unpaid care each year. This book addresses the needs and challenges faced by adult children and other family members who are scrambling to make sense of what is happening to themselves and the loved ones in their care. The author, an experienced medical and science writer known for her ability to clearly explain complex and emotionally sensitive topics, is also a former family caregiver herself. Using both personal narrative and well-researched, expert-verified content, she guides readers through the often-confusing and challenging world of dementia care. She carefully escorts caregivers through the basics of dementia as a brain disorder, its accompanying behaviors, the procedures used to diagnose and stage the disease, and the legal aspects of providing care for an adult who is no longer competent.She also covers topics not usually included in other books on dementia: family dynamics, caregiver burnout, elder abuse, incontinence, finances and paying for care, the challenges same-sex families face, and coping with the eventuality of death and estate management. Each chapter begins with a real-life vignette taken from the author's personal experience and concludes with "Frequently Asked Questions" and "Worksheets" sections. The FAQs tackle specific issues and situations that often make caregiving such a challenge. The worksheets are a tool to help readers organize, evaluate, and self-reflect. A glossary of terms, an appendix, and references for further reading give readers a command of the vocabulary clinicians use and access to valuable resources.

In 2006, seventy-seven million baby boomers-people who worked hard all their lives-will begin to turn sixty. They have a right to expect the best of everything, but if the nursing home industry doesn't change dramatically and soon, they can only expect the worst. Today, nearly two million people are institutionalized in nursing homes, and millions more will face the possibility of one day joining the ranks of system victims.

Every American has a personal, vested interest in shifting the paradigm of a struggling industry that is on the verge of collapse and that ends patients' lives prematurely. Author and CPA Jerry L. Rhoads is a fellow of the American College of Health Care Administrators fellow, a licensed nursing home administrator, and the CEO of All-American Care, Inc. In Restore Elder Pride, he shares an educated insider's look at a system in crisis-and how each person can be a part of the solution. He outlines the three prevailing principles that make this problem solvable:

Embrace the restorative care model as a necessary transition between the current medical and social models.
Use computer technology and case management to customize care plans for each patient in order to manage interventions for positive outcomes.
Pay for performance based on outcomes attained.

He calls his approach restorative care, and that involves changing the approach to elder care to embrace more humane and productive outcomes. By restoring function of the mind, body, emotion, and spirit, Rhoads believes that the industry can be saved.

Is wellness an elusive construct in this socially and materially polluted world? True wellness implies more than just being disease-free; it implies dimensions of the social, occupational, spiritual, physical, intellectual, and emotional realms.Every parable, in its own way, reflects some measure of wellness towards experiencing abundant life on earth and in the hereafter. Author Trevor Moorley presents this collection of poems to whet the wellness appetite, along with insightful prose readings that will provide endurance on your wellness journey.Authorities on wellness consider it an active process through which we can become aware of and engage in choices that will accentuate a more successful existence. "Wellness in the Parables through Meditative Poems and Prose" provides the motivation for this development. From cover to cover, it offers a veritable dialog that will ignite a renewed appreciation for the reason for living. The stimulating, thought-provoking, and sometimes revolutionary approaches unearthed in the parables only serve to inspire us to embrace life with a passion not to glorify self, but to serve others wholeheartedly for the glory of God. The teachings of Christ in the parables are as relevant to twenty-first century folk as they were to the people who heard them in person. Explore the deep revelations contained within them.
