Civilized nations popularly assume that "primitive" societies are poor, ill, and malnourished and that progress through civilization automatically implies improved health. In this provocative new book, Mark Nathan Cohen challenges this belief. Using evidence from epidemiology, anthropology, and archaeology, Cohen provides fascinating evidence about the actual effects of civilization on health, suggesting that some aspects of civilization create as many health problems as they prevent or cure. "[This book] is certain to become a classic-a prominent and respected source on this subject for years into the future. . . . If you want to read something that will make you think, reflect and reconsider, Cohen's Health and the Rise of Civilization is for you."-S. Boyd Eaton, Los Angeles Times Book Review "A major accomplishment. Cohen is a broad and original thinker who states his views in direct and accessible prose. . . . This is a book that should be read by everyone interested in disease, civilization, and the human condition."-David Courtwright, Journal of the History of Medicine "Deserves to be read by anthropologists concerned with health, medical personnel responsible for communities, and any medical anthropologists whose minds are not too case-hardened. Indeed, it could provide great profit and entertainment to the general reader."-George T. Nurse, Current Anthropology "Cohen has done his homework extraordinarily well, and the coverage of the biomedical, nutritional, demographic, and ethnographic literature about foragers and low energy agriculturists is excellent. The subject of culture and health is near the core of a lot of areas of archaeology and ethnology as well as demography, development economics, and so on. The book deserves a wide readership and a central place in our professional libraries. As a scholarly summary it is without parallel."-Henry Harp ending, American Ethnologist

The introduction of aspartame into the food supply of the United States
began in the summer of 1981. Since that time, the incidence of
Alzheimer’s deaths has increased 100 fold (10,000%). Autism has, with no
explanation, increased 25 times (2500%). Autoimmune diseases have
reached epidemic proportions, with Lupus (SLE) up 300%, and Multiple
Sclerosis, Type II Diabetes and Rheumatoid Arthritis headed out of
control. Cancers, the hallmark of formaldehyde exposure, have exploded.
Skin cancer has shot up over 400%, liver cancer has tripled, kidney
cancer has doubled, and breast cancer is up 50%. The list goes on. This 250 page, full color book uses over 100 colorful illustrations,
photographs, tables and graphs to explain to the average person the
fascinating process by which methanol, a poison hidden in aspartame and
some other foods, is converted to formaldehyde at the very locations in
the human body where these diseases originate, revealing, for the first
time, the exact details of the probable cause of each. It is a
cautionary tale of the legacy of the danger of a poisonous food additive
and the failure of a government, corrupted by greed, to safeguard the
health and welfare of its people. This is a handbook that teaches the
tools you will need to protect those you love and inform them about the
causes of a number of diseases that have, until now, proven inexplicably
elusive to a medical community beholden to Big Pharma ...While Science

Splenda Is It Safe Or Not? Dr. Janet Hull reveals the scientific evidence strongly suggesting chemical sweeteners may harm your body. Perhaps there is no "free ticket" to eating all the sugar free products you want without paying a high price physically - even weight gain. Don't despair, in Splenda Is It Safe Or Not? Dr. Hull gives you plenty of safe alternatives to keep life "sweet."

Splenda by Dr. Janet Starr Hull with Lynn Townsend Dealey
Millions of dieters using chemical sweeteners will be shocked by firefighter Janet Starr Hull's story. Diagnosed with a deadly case of Grave's Disease after she collapsed on the job, Hull was told she would die. Searching for the cause of her illness, Hull discovered that the chemical sweetener aspartame found in NutraSweet was to blame. Sweet Poison by Dr. Janet Starr Hull
Lupus, rheumatic fever, colitis, arthritis, dermatitis, insomnia,
depression, hallucinations – what do all these illnesses have in common? They were all experienced by a 12-year-old girl in a case study in
an American journal of child psychiatry. The cause? – mercury vapor she
inhaled from mercury that had been spilled on the carpet in the room she
slept in. After removing the carpet and treatment with chelation drugs,
the girl returned to good health. Mercury poisoning can cause a variety of illnesses such as chronic
fatigue, fibromyalgia, ADHD, bipolar disorder, sinusitis, tinnitus,
balance problems, tremor, insomnia, inflammatory bowel disease,
dermatitis, excessive thirst, salivation and a host of other symptoms. Is mercury from dental amalgams affecting your health? Dental
associations claim the mercury in fillings is perfectly safe, but the
mercury inhaled from “silver” fillings is 15 times more toxic than lead. The World Health Organization report states that people with
amalgams have a daily mercury intake of 4 to 21 micrograms of mercury
per day. For many people this exceeds the Environmental Protection
Agencies limit of just 7 micrograms per day. Yet there are no Government warnings about this exposure. Those who grind their teeth or chew gum will have even higher
exposure. If you eat 100 grams (3.5 ounces) of tuna, that adds another
35 micrograms. Even if your mercury blood level is within the so-called “normal”
range, if you don’t excrete mercury efficiently it can build up in your
brain, liver, kidney, thyroid and other organs over years of continuous
exposure. The effects of prolonged exposure to mercury can be delayed for
years, making it difficult to determine the cause of your illness. Diseases such as chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia affect millions of
people around the world. Doctors say the causes of these illnesses are
unknown and there is no cure. This book provides cases histories of many
diseases which were caused by mercury and subsequently cured using
chelation therapy. It also takes you step by step through the process of safely chelating heavy metals from your body.
Mercury Poisoning - The Undiagnosed Epidemic by David Hammond
Aspartame Disease: An Ignored Epidemic is a definitive book on reactions to aspartame, which is currently being used by more than two-thirds of the population in the U.S. as an additive/sweetener. Dr. Roberts is widely regarded as the expert on a host of adverse effects from popular products containing this synthetic chemical because of his many original, clinical observations and extensive research spanning two decades. Physicians, other health professionals, the media, consumer groups, and aspartame "victims" or their relatives have inundated Dr. Roberts with requests for a detailed analysis of this unique experience. They recognize that his dedication has not been restrained by governmental or institutional policies and corporate grants--a remarkable achievement in contemporary medical and biological research. The need for this volume is underscored by the virtual denial of aspartame disease (so named by Dr. Roberts) from the medical profession and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). It meets the Koch-like criteria for a specific disease. Moreover, it has reached epidemic proportions--probably in the millions. The author presents information on the first 1,200 reactors in his database. It's likely that every physician encounters aspartame disease in practice, especially among patients with illnesses that are undiagnosed or difficult to treat. This applies to ALL fields of medicine and public health. It's apparent from a partial list of reactions: headache, dizziness, depression, convulsions, impaired vision, the aggravation of diabetes mellitus and its complications, hypoglycemia, multiple allergies (including dual sensitivity to MSG), aspartame addiction, chronic fatigue, eating disorders, and pediatric problems. The numerous misdiagnoses include arthritis, lupus, multiple sclerosis, and Alzheimer's disease. Aspartame Disease: An Ignored Epidemic by H.J. Roberts
For decades we have been taught that fat is bad for us, carbohydrates better, and that the key to a healthy weight is eating less and exercising more. Yet despite this advice, we have seen unprecedented epidemics of obesity and diabetes. Taubes argues that the problem lies in refined carbohydrates, like white flour, easily digested starches, and sugars, and that the key to good health is the kind of calories we take in, not the number. In this groundbreaking book, award-winning science writer Gary Taubes shows us that almost everything we believe about the nature of a healthy diet is wrong.
Good Calories, Bad Calories by Gary Taubes
Good Calories, Bad Calories by Gary Taubes
An eye-opening, myth-shattering examination of what makes us fat, from acclaimed science writer Gary Taubes. In his New York Times best seller, Good Calories, Bad Calories, Taubes argued that our diet’s overemphasis on certain kinds of carbohydrates--not fats and not simply excess calories—has led directly to the obesity epidemic we face today. The result of thorough research, keen insight, and unassailable common sense, Good Calories, Bad Calories immediately stirred controversy and acclaim among academics, journalists, and writers alike. Michael Pollan heralded it as “a vitally important book, destined to change the way we think about food.” Building upon this critical work in Good Calories, Bad Calories and presenting fresh evidence for his claim, Taubes now revisits the urgent question of what’s making us fat—and how we can change—in this exciting new book. Persuasive, straightforward, and practical, Why We Get Fat makes Taubes’s crucial argument newly accessible to a wider audience. Taubes reveals the bad nutritional science of the last century, none more damaging or misguided than the “calories-in, calories-out” model of why we get fat, and the good science that has been ignored, especially regarding insulin’s regulation of our fat tissue. He also answers the most persistent questions: Why are some people thin and others fat? What roles do exercise and genetics play in our weight? What foods should we eat, and what foods should we avoid? Packed with essential information and concluding with an easy-to-follow diet, Why We Get Fat is an invaluable key in our understanding of an international epidemic and a guide to what each of us can do about it.

A renowned cardiologist explains how
eliminating wheat from our diets can prevent fat storage, shrink
unsightly bulges, and reverse myriad health problems. Every
day, over 200 million Americans consume food products made of wheat. As
a result, over 100 million of them experience some form of adverse
health effect, ranging from minor rashes and high blood sugar to the
unattractive stomach bulges that preventive cardiologist William Davis
calls "wheat bellies." According to Davis, that excess fat has nothing
to do with gluttony, sloth, or too much butter: It's due to the whole
grain wraps we eat for lunch. After witnessing over 2,000
patients regain their health after giving up wheat, Davis reached the
disturbing conclusion that wheat is the single largest contributor to
the nationwide obesity epidemic — and its elimination is key to dramatic
weight loss and optimal health. In Wheat Belly, Davis exposes
the harmful effects of what is actually a product of genetic tinkering
and agribusiness being sold to the American public as "wheat" — and
provides readers with a user-friendly, step-by-step plan to navigate a
new, wheat-free lifestyle. Informed by cutting-edge science
and nutrition, along with case studies from men and women who have
experienced life-changing transformations in their health after waving
goodbye to wheat, Wheat Belly is an illuminating look at what is
truly making Americans sick and an action plan to clear our plates of
this seemingly benign ingredient. Wheat Belly - Lose the Wheat, Lose the Weight, and Find Your Path Back to Health by Dr. William Davis,MD

With more than 100,000 copies sold of his self-published book, The Biology of Belief, Bruce Lipton teams up with Hay House to bring his message to an even wider audience. This book is a groundbreaking work in the field of new biology, and it will forever change how you think about thinking. Through the research of Dr. Lipton and other leading-edge scientists, stunning new discoveries have been made about the interaction between your mind and body and the processes by which cells receive information. It shows that genes and DNA do not control our biology, that instead DNA is controlled by signals from outside the cell, including the energetic messages emanating from our thoughts. Using simple language, illustrations, humor, and everyday examples, he demonstrates how the new science of Epigenetics is revolutionizing our understanding of the link between mind and matter and the profound effects it has on our personal lives and the collective life of our species.

Robert Lustig's 90-minute YouTube video "Sugar: The bitter Truth", has been viewed more than three million times. Now, in this much anticipated book, he documents the science and the politics that has led to the pandemic of chronic disease over the last 30 years. In the late 1970s when the government mandated we get the fat out of our food, the food industry responded by pouring more sugar in. The result has been a perfect storm, disastrously altering our biochemistry and driving our eating habits out of our control. To help us lose weight and recover our health, Lustig presents personal strategies to readjust the key hormones that regulate hunger, reward, and stress; and societal strategies to improve the health of the next generation. Compelling, controversial, and completely based in science, Fat Chance debunks the widely held notion to prove “a calorie is NOT a calorie”, and takes that science to its logical conclusion to improve health worldwide. Fat Chance by Robert H. Lustig, M.D.

"Love your LIVER and LIVE longer" The Liver Cleansing Diet by Dr. Sandra Cabot
Fatty Liver, if not reversed, is often a trigger for obesity, cancer, heart disease and diabetes. This book provides effective and proven solutions to heal fatty liver. A new book from Dr Sandra Cabot and Dr Thomas Eanelli explains how to reverse fatty liver and restore your health. Can you imagine a world in which fatty liver will be as huge a public health concern as cancer, heart disease, and diabetes? Fatty liver disease is the most common type of liver disease seen in the world today. Dr. Cabot tells us that reversing fatty liver disease is not only an effective method of losing weight, but can also greatly reduce the most common diseases of today - namely diabetes, heart disease and cancer. Dr. Thomas Eanelli describes his battle with his own liver disease and food addiction in the section of the book, Confessions of a Fat Man. His fight for survival takes him on a journey - both physical and mental - to find his inner power and physical health. Well known American doctor, Thomas Eanelli, meets an Aussie doctor, Dr. Cabot, through her little green book The Liver Cleansing Diet. After searching through university medical libraries and visiting numerous liver specialists and surgeons and finding no real answers, Dr. Eanelli discovered that the liver could be healed without drugs or surgery - luckily the information in this little green book was the catalyst that would inspire him to go on and heal himself thus avoiding potentially dangerous surgery. Dr. Sandra Cabot has devoted her career to helping people heal themselves from this potentially fatal yet still under reported disease. Dr. Thomas Eanelli's courage has enabled him to "come out of the refrigerator" to share his tale so others may be saved. What sets this book apart from others is that rather than bravado and bragging by a set of new age gurus, Cabot and Eanelli instead forge an instant connection with their readers by their honesty and empathy when confronting the imperfections of dieting, especially where food addictions are concerned. This book may become one of the most timely and important health narratives in years. Dr Cabot tells us that the development of fatty liver is often silent and insidious but is the reason why many people feel unwell and/or continue to gain weight. Could this be happening to you? Fatty Liver you can Reverse It by Sandra Cabot,M.D.
Without knowing it, Americans eat genetically modified (GM) food everyday. While the food and chemical industries claim that GMO food is safe, a considerable amount of evidence shows otherwise. In Seeds of Deception, Jeffrey Smith, a former executive with the leading independent laboratory testing for GM presence in foods, documents these serious health dangers and explains how corporate influence and government collusion have been used to cover them up. The stories Smith presents read like a mystery novel. Scientists are offered bribes or threatened; evidence is stolen; data withheld or distorted. Government scientists who complain are stripped of responsibilities or fired. The FDA even withheld information from congress after a GM food supplement killed nearly a hundred people and permanently disabled thousands. While Smith was employed by the laboratory he was not allowed to speak on the health dangers or the cover-up. No longer bound by this agreement, Smith now reveals what he knows in this groundbreaking expose. Today, food companies sell GM foods that have not undergone safety studies. FDA scientists opposed this, but White House and industry pressure prevailed and the agency's final policy--co-authored by a former Monsanto attorney--denied the risks. The scientists' concerns were made public only after a lawsuit forced the agency to turn over internal documents. Dan Glickman, former Secretary of Agriculture, describes the government's pro-biotech mindset: "You felt like you were almost an alien, disloyal, by trying to present an open-minded view. . . . So I pretty much spouted the rhetoric. . . . It was written into my speeches." In Seeds of Deception Smith offers easy-to-understand descriptions of genetic engineering and explains why it can result in serious health problems. This well-documented, pivotal work. Seeds of Deception Genetically Engineered by Jeffrey M. Smith
Part memoir, nutritional primer, and political manifesto, this
controversial examination exposes the destructive history of
agriculture—causing the devastation of prairies and forests, driving
countless species extinct, altering the climate, and destroying the
topsoil—and asserts that, in order to save the planet, food must come
from within living communities. In order for this to happen, the
argument champions eating locally and sustainably and encourages those
with the resources to grow their own food. Further examining the
question of what to eat from the perspective of both human and
environmental health, the account goes beyond health choices and
discusses potential moral issues from eating—or not eating—animals.
Through the deeply personal narrative of someone who practiced vegan-ism
for 20 years, this unique exploration also discusses alternatives to
industrial farming, reveals the risks of a vegan diet, and explains why
animals belong on ecologically sound farms. The Vegetarian Myth - food, justice, and sustainability by Lierre Keith
A groundbreaking expose that tells the truth about soy that scientists know but that the soy industry has tried to suppress. Soy is not a health food, does not prevent disease and has not even been proven safe. Epidemiological, clinical and laboratory studies link soy to malnutrition, digestive problems, thyroid dysfunction, cognitive decline, reproductive disorders, even heart disease and cancer. The Whole Soy Story - the dark side of America's favorite food by Kaayla T. Daniel, PhD, CCN
The pile of recent dieting books is growing faster than the average American's waistline. From the well-known programs that deprive and restrict to ones that rely on juice alone, it seems that everybody has an answer to the growing problem of obesity. When Jon Gabriel's life took an unexpected turn, he suddenly was awakened to the marvelous gift that he had been given -- the opportunity to live -- and was disgusted at how he had treated his body. At over four hundred pounds, walking, sleeping, and working was a struggle against gravity, and his life was a constant battle between emotional and physical satiation. He was slowly killing himself with food. Like the estimated 58 percent of Americans, and rising numbers in other countries, Jon was trapped in what he came to call the FAT - Famine and Temperature - trap. By studying biochemistry, Gabriel learned that your body has an internal logic that determines how fat or thin you will be at any given time. The way to lose weight is not to struggle or to force yourself to lose weight but to understand this internal logic and work with it so that your body wants to be thinner. When your body wants to be thinner, weight loss is inevitable and becomes automatic and effortless. You simply crave less food, you crave healthier foods, your metabolism speeds up and you become very efficient at burning fat, just like a naturally thin person. And that's the real transformation -- to transform yourself into a naturally thin person, so that you can eat whatever you want whenever you want and still be thin, fit, and vibrantly healthy. The Gabriel Method by Jon Gabriel
This book is enhanced with content such as audio or video, resulting in a large file that may take longer to download than expected. This enhanced edition of Clean includes extra audio, video and recipes. In Clean, a New York City cardiologist and a leader in the field of integrative medicine, Dr. Alejandro Junger, offers a major medical breakthrough. Dr. Junger argues that the majority of common ailments are the direct result of toxic build-up in our systems accumulated through the course of our daily lives. As the toxicity of modern life increases and disrupts our systems on a daily basis, bombarding us through our standard American diet and chemical-filled environments, our ability to handle the load hasn’t accelerated at the same rapid pace. The toxins are unavoidable but Clean offers a solution.

CIRCUMCISION: THE HIDDEN TRAUMA is the first intensive exploration of the unrecognized psychological and social aspects of this increasingly controversial American cultural practice. The book has been endorsed by dozens of professionals in psychology, psychiatry, child development, pediatrics, obstetrics, childbirth education, sociology, and anthropology, including Ashley Montagu, Christiane Northrup, Warren Farrell, Sheila Kitzinger, Sam Keen, and Penelope Leach. Without much knowledge, the American public generally assumes that our cultural practice of circumcision is a trivial and benign procedure. Plain facts and research results conflict with these beliefs and raise serious questions. Dr. Goldman's application of psychological and social research coherently explains both the tenacity of the practice and the contradictory information and beliefs about it. After a review of the surprising abilities of infants and their responses to circumcision pain, the long-term psychological effects of circumcision are examined from the perspectives of both traditional and innovative psychological theories. We learn that circumcision has potential effects not only on men and sexuality, but also on mother-child relationships, male-female relationships, and societal traits and problems. The text is supported with clinical reports, interviews, surveys, and thorough documentation. CIRCUMCISION: THE HIDDEN TRAUMA identifies an overlooked source of early pain and points us in the direction of both healing and preventing this pain. It is of particular interest to men who seek to explore their sexuality and deepen self-awareness; women who want to understand men better; parents and children's advocates; childbirth educators and allied workers; and mental health, medical, and academic professionals. The book has wide appeal because, more generally, it is about trusting our instincts, questioning some of our cultural values and assumptions, and reflecting on who we are and who we can be as individuals and as a society. Ronald Goldman, Ph.D., is a psychologist, educator, and executive director of the Circumcision Resource Center in Boston (www.circumcision.org), a nonprofit educational organization. He gives lectures and seminars on the psychological and social aspects of circumcision and provides consultation to expectant parents and circumcised men. Dr. Goldman has been a featured guest on local and national radio and television shows. Circumcision The Hidden Trauma by Ronald Goldman, Ph.D.
I'll be adding more books, but only of books I think highly of!
