The Price We Pay

Health, Mind & Body

New York Times bestseller Business Book of the Year--Association of Business Journalists From the New York Times bestselling author comes an eye-opening, urgent look at America's broken health care system--and the people who are saving it--now with a new Afterword by the author. "A must-read for every American." --Steve Forbes, editor-in-chief, FORBES One in five Americans now has medical debt in collections and rising health care costs today threaten every small business in America. Dr. Makary, one of the nation's leading health care experts, travels across America and details why health care has become a bubble. Drawing from on-the-ground stories, his research, and his own experience, The Price We Pay paints a vivid picture of the business of medicine and its elusive money games in need of a serious shake-up. Dr. Makary shows how so much of health care spending goes to things that have nothing to do with health and what you can do about it. Dr. Makary challenges the medical establishment to remember medicine's noble heritage of caring for people when they are vulnerable. The Price We Pay offers a road map for everyday Americans and business leaders to get a better deal on their health care, and profiles the disruptors who are innovating medical care. The movement to restore medicine to its mission, Makary argues, is alive and well--a mission that can rebuild the public trust and save our country from the crushing cost of health care.

O TDAH – abreviatura de Transtorno do Déficit de Atenção com Hiperatividade -, nome oficial do transtorno, afeta entre 5% e 7% da população mundial e causa uma série de impactos na vida de quem o possui, de quem cuida e também na vida de quem convive com o portador. O pior efeito colateral do TDAH é a desinformação e o preconceito decorrentes dele. As limitações de conhecimento sobre o tema e o despreparo de pais, educadores e profissionais de saúde para identificar os primeiros sinais, diagnosticar e lidar com o transtorno são falhas que geram sofrimento desnecessário, limitam o desenvolvimento da criança e do adolescente, e comprometem a qualidade de vida de milhões de portadores e de seus familiares. O Dr. Russell A. Barkley, Ph.D, uma das maiores autoridades mundiais sobre o assunto, escreveu este manual pensando justamente em aliviar a dor e o sofrimento dos familiares. Mais do que um alento, este livro é o mais completo guia de orientação para pais, educadores, profissionais de saúde e portadores do TDAH. Este guia irá ajudar você a: - Compreender o que é o TDAH e conhecer suas realidades e seus mitos. - Identificar os primeiros sinais do transtorno e saber qual tipo de ajuda profissional você deverá procurar. - Chegar a um diagnóstico com a ajuda de uma equipe multidisciplinar de profissionais de saúde. - Conhecer os impactos que o TDAH causa na família e o que fazer a respeito. - Lidar com os desafios do aprendizado escolar. - Melhorar os comportamentos do portador do TDAH. - Orientar a criança e o adolescente com TDAH no desenvolvimento de suas habilidades sociais em casa, na escola e em outros ambientes. - Aprender a viver bem, com qualidade de vida, apesar do transtorno.

Menopauza

Health, Mind & Body

Perimenopauza, menopauza és minden, amit tudni szeretnél róla, tabuk nélkül!Ez még korántsem a vég, ez egy izgalmas, új kezdet, amiben most sok hozzád hasonló nő lesz a segítségedre.A menopauza rendkívül nehéz időszak tud lenni a maga kellemetlenségeivel, és bár különböző mértékben, de idővel minden nőt érint, mégis nagyon sokan szégyenkezéssel, félelemmel, valamint – a megfelelő információk hiányában – szorongással, kételyekkel és mély hallgatással közelítenek hozzá. Miért nem beszél erről senki? Ki rendelkezik megfelelő információkkal? És hogyan juthatunk hozzá ezekhez? A menopauza körüli hallgatás – a kezdetéről, a tüneteiről, a kezelésekről, és hogy mit is jelent érzelmileg és testileg – évszázadok óta tart, és mélyen beleette magát a női tudatba. Beszéljünk végre nyíltan és őszintén a menopauzáról!Davina McCall menopauza-aktivista és Dr. Naomi Potter sodró lendületű, egyedi hangvételű mesterkurzusát tartod a kezedben, amely a tudomány feltárásával és magyarázatával megcáfolja az összes kártékony mítoszt a menopauzával kapcsolatban, és képessé teszi a nőket arra, hogy a lehető legtájékozottabb döntést hozzák meg az egészségükkel… és az életükkel kapcsolatban.„Vissza kell követelnünk a „változást”, és meg kell fordítanunk a kifejezést. A menopauza nem az öregedésről és a lelassulásról szól, hanem arról, hogy életünk következő szakaszába lépünk, amikor is önállósíthatjuk magunkat, és azokat a dolgokat tehetjük meg, amiket mi szeretnénk.” – Davina McCall A Menopauza több mint egy könyv, ez egy mozgalom. Egy felkelés. • Nincs többé rémhírterjesztés: csak tényeken alapuló információk, közelkép a hormonpótló terápiáról. • Semmi szégyenkezés: valódi nők igaz történetei a menopauzáról, színtiszta együttérzés és támogató közösség.• Őszinte, egyenes, kendőzetlen tanácsok. Hüvelyszárazság? Nemi vágy teljes hiánya? Hajhullás? Súlygyarapodás? Mindenre van megoldás!• Egy valódi mozgalom kezdete: együtt elérhetjük, hogy a menopauzáról minden otthonban, minden házorvosi rendelőben és minden munkahelyen beszéljenek!A te életed, a te tested, a te döntésed.Válaszd a pozitív változást, és ébredezz, hiszen ez életed második tavasza!

The Great Cholesterol Myth, Revised and Expanded

Health, Mind & Body

The best-selling book on heart disease, updated with the latest research and clinical findings on high-fat/ketogenic diets, sugar, genetics, and other factors. Heart disease is the #1 killer. However, traditional heart disease protocols—with their emphasis on lowering cholesterol—have it all wrong. Emerging science is showing that cholesterol levels are a poor predictor of heart disease and that standard prescriptions for lowering it, such as ineffective low-fat/high-carb diets and serious, side-effect-causing statin drugs, obscure the real causes of heart disease. Even doctors at leading institutions have been misled for years based on creative reporting of research results from pharmaceutical companies intent on supporting the $31-billion-a-year cholesterol-lowering drug industry.The Great Cholesterol Myth reveals the real culprits of heart disease, including: inflammation, fibrinogen, triglycerides, homocysteine, belly fat, triglyceride to HDL ratios, and high glycemic levels. Best-selling health authors Jonny Bowden, PhD, and Stephen Sinatra, MD, give readers a four-part strategy based on the latest studies and clinical findings for effectively preventing, managing, and reversing heart disease, focusing on diet, exercise, supplements, and stress and anger management. Myths vs. FactsMyth: High cholesterol is the cause of heart disease.Fact: Cholesterol is only a minor player in the cascade of inflammation which is a cause of heart disease.Myth: Saturated fat is dangerous.Fact: Saturated fats are not dangerous. The killer fats are the transfats from partially hydrogenated oils. Myth: The higher the cholesterol, the shorter the lifespan.Fact: Higher cholesterol protects you from gastrointestinal disease, pulmonary disease, and hemorrhagic stroke.Myth: High cholesterol is a predictor of heart attack.Fact: There is no correlation between cholesterol and heart attacks.Myth: Lowering cholesterol with statin drugs will prolong your life.Fact: There is no data to show that statins have a significant impact on longevity.Myth: Statin drugs are safe.Fact: Statin drugs can be extremely toxic including causing death.Myth: Statin drugs are useful in men, women, and the elderly.Fact: Statin drugs do the best job in middle-aged men with coronary disease.Myth: Statin drugs are useful in middle-aged men with coronary artery disease because of its impact on cholesterol.Fact: Statin drugs reduce inflammation and improve blood viscosity (thinning blood). Statins are extremely helpful in men with low HDL and coronary artery disease.

What the hell happened to my brain?

Kate Swaffer was just 49 years old when she was diagnosed with a form of younger onset dementia. In this book, she offers an all-too-rare first-hand insight into that experience, sounding a clarion call for change in how we ensure a better quality of life for people with dementia. Kate describes vividly her experiences of living with dementia, exploring the effects of memory difficulties, loss of independence, leaving long-term employment, the impact on her teenage sons, and the enormous impact of the dementia diagnosis on her sense of self. Never shying away from difficult issues, she tackles head-on stigma, inadequacies in care and support, and the media's role in perpetuating myths about dementia, suggesting ways in which we can include and empower people with the diagnosis.

Kate's powerful words will challenge misconceptions about dementia, and open our eyes to new ways of supporting people with the diagnosis. A must read for people with dementia and their families as well as for professionals and carers.

I cicli della vita

Health, Mind & Body

(…) il libro I Cicli della Vita di Pia Orleane è una guida incisiva e perspicace per ritrovare l’equilibrio psicofisico, riportandoci in sintonia con i ritmi della vita, riconnettendoci alla natura e quindi ai nostri cuori… un accurato manuale d’istruzioni. (MARIANNE MARSTRAND, direttore esecutivo della Global Peace Initiative of Women) Tutta la vita è intessuta in un sistema vivente di cicli – dalle stagioni della Terra ai percorsi enzimatici che forniscono energia alle cellule – che tracciano i momenti più fausti nella nostra esistenza. Sia le donne che gli uomini hanno cicli biologici di crescita attiva e di rinnovamento, guidati dagli ormoni: comprendendo come tutto si muova in questo modo, possiamo acquisire maggiore consapevolezza della nostra natura ciclica e sentirci più a nostro agio in essa. Pia Orleane propone un modello ispirandoci al quale possiamo restituire armonia tra mente e corpo, riequilibrare le emozioni e ritrovare la salute. L'opera della Orleane è una innovativa ricerca sulla naturale ciclicità dell'essere ma anche uno studio antropolgico sulla società e l'equilibrio interiore degli individui che ne fanno parte: attenuare le tensioni tra i sessi e guarire la nostra società divisa onorando la divina coscienza femminile e riabbracciare i cicli naturali, incluso il nostro innato bisogno di riposo e ritiro. L'autrice esplora antichi rituali e tradizioni relativi al sangue e alla sacralità del mestruo, spiegando il collegamento tra ciclo mestruale e spiritualità, come l’isolamento delle donne durante le mestruazioni - e degli uomini alla ricerca di intuizioni rivelatrici - possa offrire un processo di purificazione del corpo e della mente. Un processo per ritrovare l'equilibrio interiore, risvegliare la nostra innata creatività e sensibilità, sintonizzarci di nuovo con i ritmi più profondi del corpo e della natura.
