This comprehensive book explains in lucid, assured terms how to practice the fertility awareness method (FAM), a natural, scientifically proven but little-known form of birth control (which is not to be confused with the woefully ineffective "rhythm" method). Author Toni Weschler has been teaching fertility awareness for almost 20 years, and it's only just now gaining in popularity. As the book explains, by using simple fertility signs including peaks in morning body temperature and changes in cervical position and cervical mucus, it's possible to determine when ovulation is taking place. Fertility awareness is therefore useful for not only couples who are trying to conceive, but for those who are aiming to avoid pregnancy without the use of chemical contraceptives. It will be of special interest to those women who have suffered from infertility; many FAM practitioners have told the author that by filling in the detailed charts in the book, they've realized that they were chronically miscarrying, even when their doctors told them they weren't conceiving at all. As the book explains, by charting body temperature, it's simple to tell when pregnancy has occurred--and when there's danger of miscarriage. Taking Charge of Your Fertility also explains how to choose the sex of your baby by timing intercourse according to certain fertility signs. It also features thorough, easy-to-understand explanations of hormones, the menstrual cycle, and menopause, along with fertility tests and treatments and their long- and short-term side effects, plus a topnotch resource section. Recommended for any woman who wants to better understand her body. --Erica Jorgensen Celebrating 10 years of helping hundreds of thousands of women achieve pregnancy, avoid pregnancy naturally, and gain better control of their health and lives, the 10th Anniversary Edition of the classic bestseller will include:

• New 'Preface to the 10th Anniversary Edition"
• Updates on new fertility technologies
• Natural approaches to conception
• Updated Resources and Books

For any woman unhappy with her current method of birth control; demoralized by her quest to have a baby; or experiencing confusing symptoms in her cycle, this book provides answers to all these questions, plus amazing insights into a woman's body. Weschler thoroughly explains the empowering Fertility Awareness Method, which in only a couple minutes a day allows a woman to:

• Enjoy highly effective, scientifically proven birth control without chemicals or devices
• Maximize her chances of conception or expedite fertility treatment by identifying impediments to conception
• Increase the likelihood of choosing the gender of her baby
• Gain control of her sexual and gynecological health

*draw families closer by sharing their deepest dreams, while working together to actualize those dreams

Healing Depression & Bipolar Disorder Without Drugs: Inspiring Stories of Restoring Mental Health Through Natural Therapies

Healing Depression & Bipolar Disorder Without Drugs: Inspiring Stories of Restoring Mental Health Through Natural Therapies Review

When Gracelyn Guyol was diagnosed in 1993 with a mild form of bipolar disorder, also known as manic depression, she was prescribed a commonly used antidepressant. Soon she developed breast cysts and benign tumors, a possible side effect of the antidepressant. She went off the drug and within two months, her tumors disappeared.

Under the care of a naturopath, Guyol embarked on a quest to educate herself about the underlying genetic, hormonal, and other causes of depression and bipolar disorder. She investigated many natural therapies—including diet, vitamins, herbal treatments, and energy healing—before finding the solutions that have kept her free of depression and bipolar symptoms since 2002.

Healing Depression & Bipolar Disorder Without Drugs features Gracelyn Guyol’s own story and those of thirteen other people around the country who have cured their depression and bipolar disorder using only natural therapies. In-depth research and the expertise of alternative health-care professionals are included in this landmark guide for patients and caregivers seeking responsible, safe alternatives to psychiatric drugs.

The Sweetener Trap & How to Avoid It: The Power and Politics of Sweeteners and Their Impact on Your Health

The Sweetener Trap & How to Avoid It: The Power and Politics of Sweeteners and Their Impact on Your Health Review

"No one does a better job of reporting on issues of food choices and food safety than Beatrice Trum Hunter. Her latest book exposes the problems, politics, and proliferation of both natural and artificial sweeteners-what to be aware of and what to do about it."
--Jerry Mittelman, D.D.S., FAPM, former president of the International Academy for Preventive Medicine and author of Healthy Teeth for Kids.

With this revised and expanded update of the 1982 classic The Sugar Trap, Beatrice Trum Hunter, noted writer on food issues, brings us invaluable help for avoiding "the sweetener trap." She exposes facts about today's many sweeteners-from aspartame to stevia, sucralose, and xylitol. With careful research and well-weighed advice, Hunter tells why you should limit all added sugars. With awareness, you can do it, despite misleading labeling, sly marketing tactics, and vague federal recommendations for sweetener intake that reflect research bias and strong pressures from sweetener interests.

"This comprehensive review of sugars and sweeteners in the American diet is well researched, well organized, and well written. It offers much needed information and understanding in an area having major implications for the nation's health."
--Alyce Bezman Tarcher, M.D., editor, Principles and Practice of Environmental Medicine.

"This book provides considerable sound information about the profound public health hazards of popular sweeteners. Beatrice Trum Hunter deserves much praise for her ongoing effort to clarify "the sweetener trap" that increasingly threatens humanity.
--H.J. Roberts, M.D., FACP, FCCP, director of the Palm Beach Institute for Medical Research and author of Aspartame Disease: An Ignored Epidemic and Protecting Mankind: One Physician's Quest.

How To Overcome Worries Permanently And Forever In The Seven Most Vital Areas Of Your Life Starting From Today!: Succeeding In Family, Health, Financial, ... Social And Spiritual Areas Of Your Life Review

WHAT IS WORRY?

Simply stated, worry can be defined as "a state of mental and emotional agitation and distress resulting from undue concern over something impending or anticipated".

Worry involves an uneasiness of mind or a brooding anxiety about a real or imagined situation or possibility.

It is an unresolved feeling of fretful apprehension and mental unrest which is a close companion of fear, anxiety, stress, insecurity, and tension.

Worry is translated "anxiety or care". It is taken from a Greek word which literally means, "to divide, rip or tear apart".

It aptly describes the torturous effects of worry which tear our heart, mind, and emotions.

IS THERE ANY HOPE OF OVERCOMMING WORRIES?

Absolutely!

Whether we seldom worry about anything or are chronic worrywarts who spend most of our waking hours looking for something to worry about, it is not wise that we worry.

Whether our motto is "Don't sweat it" or "Come worry with me", we can take comfort in the awareness that wisdom provides the solution for the problem of worry.

Wisdom offers a number of liberating guide and guidelines for achieving a permanent victory over anxiety and maintaining a worry-free lifestyle.

We will carefully consider the steps which leads us to freedom from worry and anxiety.

Revenge of the Domestic: Women, the Family, and Communism in the German Democratic Republic

Revenge of the Domestic: Women, the Family, and Communism in the German Democratic Republic Review

Revenge of the Domestic examines gender relations in East Germany from 1945 to the 1970s, focusing especially on the relationship between ordinary women, the Communist Party, and the state created by the Communists, the German Democratic Republic (GDR). The book weaves together personal stories from interviews, statistical material, and evidence from archival research in Berlin, Potsdam, Leipzig, Merseburg, and Chemnitz to reconstruct the complex interplay between state policy toward women and the family on the one hand, and women's reactions to policy on the other. Donna Harsch demonstrates that women resisted state decisions as citizens, wageworkers, mothers, wives, and consumers, and that in every guise they maneuvered to overcome official neglect of the family.

As state dependence on female employment increased, the book shows, the Communists began to respond to the insistence of women that the state pay attention to the family. In fits and starts, the party state begrudgingly retooled policy in a more consumerist and family-oriented direction. This "domestication" was partial, ambivalent, and barely acknowledged from above. It also had ambiguous, arguably regressive, effects on the private gender arrangements and attitudes of East Germans. Nonetheless, the economic and social consequences of this domestication were cumulatively powerful and, the book argues, gradually undermined the foundations of the GDR.

My House Is Killing Me!: The Home Guide for Families with Allergies and Asthma

My House Is Killing Me!: The Home Guide for Families with Allergies and Asthma Review

It's a world we barely see, but it is teeming with life. In the dust of a typical house, carpet beetles, mites, silverfish, and other creatures live and die, producing new generations every few months. Mold, bacteria, and yeast lurk undetected in heating and cooling systems. Debris dispersed into the air from these organisms can cause runny noses, itchy eyes, coughing, headaches, and breathing difficulties. Some people, especially those made highly sensitive by allergies, suffer from devastating health problems and the worry that, as one such sufferer lamented, "My house is killing me!"

Scrutinizing house dust and air samples with a microscope, indoor air quality expert Jeffrey C. May has spent his career helping people identify what's causing their chronic health problems. In My House Is Killing Me! he draws on the dramatic personal stories of his clients' suffering and relief to help readers understand the links between environmental factors and problems like allergies and asthma. Explaining how air conditioning, finished basements, and other home features affect air quality, he offers a step-by-step approach to identifying, controlling, and often eliminating the sources of indoor pollutants and allergens. If we could see this contamination, May observes, the air would look as murky as stagnant water, and we would know not to breathe it.

Reading My House Is Killing Me! lets you see your house the way an expert would. Just as he looks at spaces and systems during an indoor air quality investigation, May focuses first on the areas of daily life (bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen), then looks into attics and basements (including heating and air conditioning), and finally moves outside to the garage and the exterior of a home. Along with offering a wealth of practical advice and proven solutions for various problems, he includes a glossary of terms and a list of valuable resources.
