New Book Release: Toxic Beauty

Toxic Beauty by Samuel Epstein

Most American women have no clue that the "rugged individual" model held up for emulation includes placing the responsibility for one's health and safety squarely on the consumer's shoulder! When it come to cosmetics, each woman is on her own in judging safety of products - with no meaningful information from the producer and no aid from government watch-dogs. The research, if done at all, can be withheld by the company. Dr. Samuel Epstein is the first to speak out on this "Toxic Beauty" product hazard, and to give women some guidelines for meaningful protective action. It is a "must read" for all those who care about public health!

New Book Release: Optimal Health Revolution

Optimal Health Revolution by Duke Johnson

Science is coming to a startling realization. The bulk of our most lethal diseases have a common underlying cause: persistent inflammation. Inflammation is an overactive reaction of our natural immune system function that results in cell and tissue destruction. This persistent inflammation is triggered by our industrial lifestyles, including exposure to chemicals, synthetic food ingredients, pollution and processed foods. "Researchers are linking inflammation to an ever-wider array of chronic illnesses," reports Newsweek's Anne Underwood. "Suddenly medical puzzles seem to be fitting together, such as why hypertension puts patients at increased risk of Alzheimer's, or why rheumatoid-arthritis sufferers have higher rates of sudden cardiac death. They're all connected on some fundamental level." But inflammation, and the risks of chronic diseases it brings, can be managed. Lifestyle and nutritional change is part of the answer. But the other part lies with groundbreaking information from the newest field of science―nutrigenomics. Nutrigenomics is the science of how genes interact with nutrients. It is the study of how DNA and the genetic code affect a person's need for certain nutrients to help maintain optimal health throughout life.

The Optimal Health Revolution combines leading-edge science―including nearly 900 scientific references―with an easy-to-read, conversational writing style that make this critical information accessible to every reader. Relevant to both the research and medical doctor interested in the latest science and the casual reader looking to improve his or her well-being, The Optimal Health Revolution makes a critical contribution to our understanding of health.
