Your Emotional Type: Key to the Therapies That Will Work for You
by Marc S. Micozzi Michael A. JawerYour emotional type as the means to finding the right treatment for your chronic illness or pain • Provides an easy questionnaire to find your emotional type • Identifies the connections between emotional type and 12 common chronic ailments: asthma, allergies, chronic fatigue, depression, fibromyalgia, hypertension, irritable bowel, migraines, PTSD, psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, and ulcers • Explains which of 7 mind/body healing therapies works best for each emotional type Different people process their feelings in different ways--your emotional style is a fundamental aspect of who you are. It affects more than just your outlook on life; it can affect your well-being as well. Many chronic ailments are not the result of germs or genes but are rooted in our emotional biology. The link between emotional type and health explains why modern medicine--which views treatment as “one size fits all”--often fails to successfully treat chronic pain and illness. Examining the interplay of emotions, chronic illness and pain, and treatment success, Michael Jawer and Dr. Marc Micozzi reveal how chronic conditions are intrinsically linked to certain emotional types and how these ailments are best treated by choosing a healing therapy in line with your type. Explaining the emotional ties behind the 12 most common chronic illnesses--asthma, allergies, chronic fatigue, depression, fibromyalgia, hypertension, irritable bowel syndrome, migraines, post-traumatic stress disorder, psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, and ulcers--the authors provide an easy assessment survey that allows you to identify your emotional type as well as the ailments you are susceptible to. Extending this connection between mind and body, they assess 7 alternative healing therapies--acupuncture, hypnosis, biofeedback, meditation, yoga, guided imagery, and relaxation techniques--and indicate which methods work best for each emotional type. Empowering you as a patient to seek out the therapies that will work best for you, this book offers a welcome path to effective pain relief and sustainable health.

Your Eyes: A Book for Paramedical Personnel and the Lay Reader
by Thomas ChalkleyOf the five senses, vision, without a doubt, is one of the most important. We have only two eyes and they must last a lifetime. And it is because this gift of sight is so precious, that fear of blindness is a universal concern. If it is based on ignorance or misconception, this apprehension is unnecessary. The purpose of this little volume is to fulfill the need for a simple, straightforward, uncomplicated book concerning your eyes. It is the author's hope that this book will help to increase the reader's understanding of the structure, function, and diseases of the eye. The entire text has been expanded upon and updated and a new chapter included by Doctor Mary Cuaycong on Refractive Vision Correction. The author covers general eye anatomy and physiology, light and vision, the conjuctiva, the cornea, cataracts, glaucoma, the uveal tract, the retina, neuro-ophthalmology, strabismus, eye changes associated with general diseases and eye injuries. The book concludes with a glossary and a helpful section of answers to often-asked questions. It will be of interest to eye patients, ophthalmology paraprofessionals and assistants and other interested individuals. Fear resulting from a real eye disease is realistic. It is easier to cope with these fears and with the problem itself if it is understood. Fortunately, in ophthalmology, the understanding of the difficulty can frequently lead to the solution of the problem. Continuing vision can be preserved, and frequently vision lost can be restored. Ongoing dynamic new advances are continuing in the battle against blindness. Understanding is a large part of the battle. That's what this book is all about.

by David A. KesslerFormer commissioner of the US Food and Drug Administration David Kessler, M.D., argues forcefully that our brain chemistry is being hijacked by the food we eat: that by consuming stimulating combinations of sugar, fat, and salt, we're conditioning our bodies to crave more sugar, fat, and salt―and consigning ourselves to a vicious cycle of overeating.
