This book is dedicated to the millions of couples who are trying to get pregnant without success. Rather than assuming that one is infertile, readers can try the many reliable natural remedies and resources in this book. Barring physical problems beyond one's control, readers have the power to take charge of their health and boost their chances of fertility. The authors' goal is simple: to provide a clear guide to conception based on natural, safe, well-researched therapeutic approaches. Nutritional, environmental, botanical, and physical medicines, as well as traditional Chinese medical practices and homeopathy, all offer ways to promote fertility. Both men and women will find a wealth of helpful information on what to do--individually and together--to fully realize their fertility potential. Even if infertility isn't a problem, and a reader is simply planning to get pregnant and wants to deliver a healthy baby, this book will help improve her chances. Anyone seeking to become a parent will benefit from this book's practical, time-tested wisdom. The healthier a woman is, the greater the likelihood the seed of life will find fertile soil and grow into a healthy baby.
Two naturopaths introduce us to the world of brain biochemistry,
translating the science into laymen's terms, so that the reader can
understand the potential power of herbs and nutrients to enhance
health, prevent disorders, and affect existing health disorders.
These alternatives, or supplements, to medication are being used
across the country to help treat health conditions with a
psychological component--from ADHD and anorexia to insomnia,
menopause, and Parkinson's Disease. Authors Meletis and Barker
explain 18 of these conditions, and review the most current
research into how--or whether--the use of herbs and supplements has
been proven to prevent, affect or remove these health conditions,
or at least some of their symptoms. Can the Chinese herb Salvia
curb cravings in alcoholics? Can niacin help treat anxiety? Other
herbs, nutrients, and conditions addressed include the use of zinc
to reduce symptoms of anorexia and bulimia, ginkgo biloba for
Alzheimer's, and 5-HTP for depression. One appendix to this volume
lists the top 20 brain-enhancing herbs and supplements. Another
lists nutrient deficiencies and their links to health and brain
function. It is not the intent of this book to advocate for the
replacement of standard drug therapy, but for the integration of
these "natural medicines" with traditional medical treatments.
Consumers are urged to discuss these herbs and nutrients with their
physician before beginning use, as some allergic reactions or
interactions with traditional medicines can occur. The central
argument of this book is that when properly nourished people can
operate at maximum physical and mental capacity, with maximum
ability to fend off or recover from diseaseand disorder.
In this comprehensive book, a naturopath explains why allergies
occur and what works—and doesn't—to alleviate them. Millions of
Americans suffer with allergies, yet medicine has yet to determine
exactly what causes a person to be allergic. In this comprehensive
book, naturopath Chris D. Meletis examines a wide-range of
allergies, including those to foodstuffs, dust and other airborne
allergens, and materials like latex and chemicals. He explores
theories of why allergies occur and are rising, including the
"hygiene hypothesis," which argues that overbathing and overuse of
antibiotics and antibacterial agents means our immune systems never
build up the necessary resistance to these substances when we are
young.
From explanations of the roles of hormones to detailed descriptions
of testing options and treatment choices, this book is a guide to
male hormones: What they do, what goes wrong, and what can be done
about it. Testosterone levels begin to decline in men at the age of
30. But, as this book shows, men can take steps to normalize
hormone levels. With the twin goals of education and empowerment,
two naturopaths explain the roles of male hormones and why
decreasing testosterone levels affect body and mind. His Change of
Life: Male Menopause and Healthy Aging with Testosterone offers
detailed descriptions of testing options and, most importantly,
specific treatment choices offered by both allopathic and
alternative models that will enable men of all ages to live life to
the fullest. Symptoms the authors address include night sweats,
reduced flexibility, loss of muscle mass, low sex drive, and high
blood pressure. Solutions they explain include stress management,
exercise, nutrition, dietary supplements, and androgen replacement
therapy. Conventional treatments are also covered, as are potential
side effects of actions men may take. The authors detail which
actions are safe to take on your own, and which need the
supervision of a medical expert. 14 tables and graphs explain the
main points of each chapter A list of endnote references appears at
the end of every chapter
