THE ACID ALKALINE FOOD GUIDE: A Quick Reference to Foods & Their Effect on pH Levels Ref: B2E65

Susan Brown & Larry Trivieri

Over the last five years, there has been an explosion of best-selling acid/alkaline based diets. These have ranged from weight loss to diabetes management. While hundreds of thousands of people have gone on diets that balances the pH level of your body, they have had to put up with the limited food guides contained in each book. Now, health experts Susan Brown and Larry Trivieri have created a complete resource for people wanting to widen their food choices. The Acid/Alkaline Food Guide offers an easy-to-follow guide to the most common foods that influence your body's pH levels. The book begins by explaining what the acid/alkaline of your body has to do with the acid/alkaline influence of foods. It then explains how the pH of foods, once eaten, may change in your body, eg. citrus fruits, once digested, become alkaline. As complicated as this process is, the authors provide the guidelines for the analysis of the foods covered in the book. This section is then followed by a listing of thousands of foods and their acid/alkaline ranges.

EXCITOTOXINS: The Taste that Kills Ref: B2E82

Russell L Blaylock

Nutrasweet (Aspartame) has been scientifically linked to brain tumors, brain cell damage and neurological conditions such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. According to author Russell Blaylock, MD, a practicing, board-certified neurosurgeon, we are witnessing enormous damage to the brain and nervous system due to the ever-increasing amount of Nutrasweet and other excitotoxic subtances added to our foods. With detailed accuracy citing well over five hundred scientific studies, Neurosurgeon Blaylock explores the "must-know" dangers of these substances being added indiscriminately to our food supply. The use of aspartame, hydrolyzed vegetable protein, and monosodium glutamate in prepared foods and beverages continues to increase on a yearly basis. Dr. Blaylock clearly demonstrates that the neurotoxic potential of excitotoxins such as MSG and aspartame is so overwhelming that it can no longer be ignored. Includes: A Crash Course in How the Brain Works; Very Special Amino Acids; Exciting Cells to Death; Excitotoxins on the Developing Brain; Aspartame, Brain Tumors and the FDA.

THAT DIRTY FAT: A Guide to Reducing Body Toxins Ref: 2039

Michael Hobson

Every single man, woman, and child has been contaminated with a "chemical soup" of known cancer-causing agents such as benzene, styrene, ethylphenol, and toluene. These poisons accumulate in the fatty tissues of the body and, unless specific steps are taken to purge them, they remain there, eventually compromising the immune system to the point that illness results. Hobson's research over the last seven years has lead to the development of a treatment protocol that successfully reduces "bioaccumulations" and clears up a broad range of health problems, from arthritis to allergies.

THE WATER PRESCRIPTION Ref: B2D96

Christopher Vasey

Drinking sufficient quantities of water is a necessity for optimal physical functioning, but it can also play a major role in the prevention and treatment of many diseases. Chronic fatigue, depression, eczema, rheumatism, gastric disorders, high or low blood pressure, high cholesterol, obesity, and urinary infections are but a few of the many disorders that can result from not drinking enough water - and which can be treated by raising our intake of this vital liquid. The physical assaults that our bodies endure from pollution, stress, overly rich and processed foods (often containing too much salt), and alcohol and tobacco have dramatically increased our daily need for water over what our ancestors required. Christopher Vasey explains not only why water is so essential to our health but also what quantities we should drink and when. He also discusses the qualities of different types of water and demonstrates which will best address certain conditions. In addition, he provides 10 water cures that will rehydrate the deepest levels of the body, remove toxins, and restore vital minerals.
