Get the facts about Hepatitis C Having hepatitis C can be a transformative, extremely tough experience--especially without the right information. "Healing Hepatitis C" remedies that by combining the personal story of Christopher Kennedy Lawford, who unknowingly contracted the virus during his years of drug use, with the medical expertise of Dr. Diana Sylvestre, who has devoted her career to treating hepatitis C sufferers. Together they deal with the stigma and misinformation, and the fears and frustrations of this illness. "Healing Hepatitis C" serves as a valuable sourcebook for medical and treatment information: from what hepatitis C is to what it does, and from what to expect during treatment to how to communicate with your physician, to finding the support you need. Most of all, it walks you through the process of facing the diagnosis and treatment head-on, showing you that it is possible to get through hepatitis C--to be cured of it--without surrendering your life to it. Together Lawford and Sylvestre offer hope, humor, and medical expertise to help patients, their friends, and families navigate the numerous challenges of hepatitis C virus education, testing, and treatment.
Women over the age of 40, as they move towards menopause, usually experience an increasing waistline and multiplying fat cells...no matter how much they exercise. Hormonal changes start to affect your weight when your 30 billion fat cells detect a slightly lower oestrogen reading and come to your aid to produce oestrogen for you. And the fat cells in your waist grow the largest because they are better equipped to produce oestrogen than those in your bottom, hips and thighs. Debra Waterhouse provides her usual sound strategies to cope but also explains the positive side: that the more oestrogen you produce the fewer mood swings and hot flushes, less intense PMS, improved sleep, and a reduced risk of osteoporosis you will experience. And she warns: the harder you try to lose weight by dieting the more powerful your menopausal fat cells become . Positive actions Waterhouse proposes include: * Encouraging a positive attitude for your change of life, embracing your body changes * Following her tailored exercise programme which includes building bone density and gaining muscle * How much to eat, when and how often. What to eat, including plant oestrogens. And how to start trusting your body's messages and cravings.
All that you ever wanted to know - and never imagined - about what goes on behind-the-scenes at one of the world's most prestigious plastic surgeon's office. '"I don't care if I die," she said. "I waited my whole life to look good. I'm not going one more day looking the way I do ... if I'm not happy, nothing else matters.'" What is it that drives women, and men, to the extreme measure of cosmetic surgery? People are popping out for botox in their lunch breaks, face-lifts before job reviews, breast implants before dates, and liposuction before just about any major event. From the living room to the boardroom to the catwalk, even the most successful and beautiful men and women are paying to go under the surgeon's knife. And the obsession just keeps on growing! Cap Lesesne, one of the world's most sought-after and respected cosmetic surgeons, has seen them all. He's worked on queens, models, executives and housewives, turned a man into Elvis, been threatened by a Venezuelan oil magnate whose penis turned black and has been asked to implant breasts onto a transexual's back. He travels around the world, calls royalty and glitterati his friends, and can claim to have both saved and destroyed hundreds of relationships with his life-altering fingers. In this timely part-autobiography, part-expose, Cap reveals what life is like as the fairy-godfather with a scalpel, what it is that drives different people around the world to go under the surgeon's knife, and the secret tell-tale signs of a post-op patient, as well as hundreds of real-life examples of the people he has worked on, from the urbane to the truly bizarre. Cap also reveals what it was that made him choose to take up the profession that is most sneered on in surgical circles and how his choice of profession has altered the way he looks at the world around him. Exciting, revealing and always cutting-edge, CONFESSIONS OF A PARK AVENUE PLASTIC SURGEON puts an astonishing new face on one of the world's fastest growing trends.

Why is The Healthiest You different from every other health, diet,
and fitness plan? Because it works.
Dr. Kelly Traver understands that the human brain resists change.
Only when we learn the secrets of how to get our brain to work for
us, not against us, can we make healthy, permanent lifestyle
changes. By combining recent cutting-edge discoveries in
neuroscience with the latest information in medicine, nutrition,
and fitness, Dr. Traver developed the Healthiest You program and
initially tested it on her patients, ranging in age from twenty to
eighty-one. Her results were astounding:
- Among those who were overweight, the average weight loss was 19
pounds.
- Among those who were diabetic, 80 percent achieved a reduction in
their blood sugar.
- Among those with high blood pressure, 87 percent returned their
blood pressure to normal.
- Some 80 percent of the smokers successfully kicked the habit.
In the course of 12 short weeks, readers can achieve similar
success by following Dr. Traver's simple, straightforward
instructions to work with this stubbornly change-resistant organ so
that it not only accepts new, healthy lifestyle habits, it actually
embraces them. You can use this empowering information to
remotivate yourself whenever your enthusiasm starts to wane. With
the powerful tools provided by The Healthiest You, you can learn to
change your body and your life, simply by understanding and working
with your brain.
