Breaking the Headache Cycle

Breaking the Headache Cycle

Two headache specialists offer their innovative Headache Reduction Program, for treating and preventing recurring headaches Twenty-eight million people in the United States suffer from chronic, recurrent, often disabling headaches-half of them forgoing medical attention in favor of analgesics that do nothing to prevent the next one. In Breaking the Headache Cycle , the authors-migraine sufferers themselves-present the integrated Headache Reduction Program (HARP) that they developed at the Princeton Headache Clinic. Based on the central insights that the predisposition to headaches is a sign of an unusually sensitive nervous system and that drugs are only one component of the most successful treatment plans, this remarkable program instructs readers in a range of techniques, including: - how to relieve the pain of migraines - how to detect and ward off oncoming headaches - how to prevent migraines from even threatening The innovative solutions detailed in Breaking the Headache Cycle range from simple breathing exercises and dietary changes to support groups and the latest medications. In this thorough and accessible guide, the authors promise new relief for those already being treated for recurring headaches and for those who currently suffer in silence.

A Parent's Guide to Healthy Children

A Parent's Guide to Healthy Children

All good parents share a purpose: to protect their precious gift and raise vibrant, healthy, and happy children. Parents are their children’s best advocates, and they must be able to make health decisions with confidence. Unfortunately, we live in a toxic world, and our children are getting sicker and sicker. Currently, more than half of them live with chronic conditions that negatively affect their quality of life—a fact strongly linked to a medical paradigm that emphasizes high-tech and pharmaceutical interventions over healthier options. If we are to turn this situation around—and make our children healthy again—parents clearly need a better way.A Parent’s Guide offers that better way, empowering new and expectant parents with gentle, natural and holistic ways to promote their children’s physical, mental, and emotional well-being—from preconception through early childhood. Readers will learn how to deal effectively with pregnancy discomfort, make evidence-based birth choices that do not induce trauma, choose health-promoting foods and supplements that provide optimal nutrition for their child’s development, and eliminate or minimize hidden toxic exposures. Other topics vitally important for keeping kids’ development on track include the importance of infant reflexes, how to promote and maintain the diversity of a child’s microbiome, and how to spot “red flags”—early signs of immune or neurological dysfunction.Perhaps most importantly, this guide will help parents confidently navigate common childhood illnesses. That confidence means they will not be at the mercy of medical practitioners more concerned with “standard of care” than the health of the children in their care.

All Life Is Yoga: True Leadership

All Life Is Yoga: True Leadership

Selections from the works of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother. "...the individuals who will most help the future of humanity in the new age will be those who will recognise a spiritual evolution as the destiny and therefore the great need of the human being. Even as the animal man has been largely converted into a mentalised and at the top a highly mentalised humanity, so too now or in the future an evolution or conversion – it does not greatly matter which figure we use or what theory we adopt to support it – of the present type of humanity into a spiritualised humanity is the need of the race and surely the intention of Nature; that evolution or conversion will be their ideal and endeavour. They will be comparatively indifferent to particular belief and form and leave men to resort to the beliefs and forms to which they are naturally drawn. They will only hold as essential the faith in this spiritual conversion, the attempt to live it out and whatever knowledge – the form of opinion into which it is thrown does not so much matter – can be converted into this living. They will especially not make the mistake of thinking that this change can be effected by machinery and outward institutions; they will know and never forget that it has to be lived out by each man inwardly or it can never be made a reality for the kind. They will adopt in its heart of meaning the inward view of the East which bids man seek the secret of his destiny and salvation within; but also they will accept, though with a different turn given to it, the importance which the West rightly attaches to life and to the making the best we know and can attain the general rule of all life." - Sri Aurobindo

Summary of Rebecca Fett's It Starts With The Egg

Summary of Rebecca Fett's It Starts With The Egg

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The first few weeks after fertilization are a major hurdle for embryos, and many stop developing at some point during this time. Only about a third of fertilized embryos survive to become a baby. #2 The most common type of chromosomal abnormality is the addition of a copy of chromosome 21, which is what causes Down syndrome. However, sometimes a missing chromosome or more complex errors can also occur. An egg with the incorrect number of chromosomes is aneuploid. #3 The impact of chromosomal abnormalities on the chance of conceiving and carrying to term is especially apparent in the IVF context. If this factor is taken out of the equation, the pregnancy rates skyrocket. #4 Chromosomal screening is not a cure-all. It can reveal that none of the embryos created in an IVF cycle are chromosomally normal, which can result in no good embryo available to transfer.

Light on Life

Light on Life

B.K.S. Iyengar--hailed as "the Michelangelo of yoga" (BBC) and considered by many to be one of the most important yoga masters--has spent much of his life introducing the modern world to the ancient practice of yoga. Yoga's popularity is soaring, but its widespread acceptance as an exercise for physical fitness and the recognition of its health benefits have not been matched by an understanding of the emotional, intellectual, and spiritual development that the yogic tradition can also offer. In Light on Life, B.K.S. Iyengar brings readers this new and more complete understanding of the yogic journey.Here Iyengar explores the yogic goal to integrate the different parts of the self (body, emotions, mind, and soul), the role that the yoga postures and breathing techniques play in our search for wholeness, the external and internal obstacles that keep us from progressing along the path, and how yoga can transform our lives and help us to live in harmony with the world around us. For the first time, Iyengar uses stories from his own life, humor, and examples from modern culture to illustrate the profound gifts that yoga offers. Written with the depth of this sage's great wisdom, Light on Life is the culmination of a master's spiritual genius, a treasured companion to his seminal Light on Yoga.

El colapso de la autoridad

El colapso de la autoridad

Título original: The collapse of parenting En los últimos años se ha producido un gran cambio en la cultura educativa mundial: la transferencia de la autoridad de los padres a los hijos y a su entorno social. En nuestra sociedad actual, se da la alarmante tendencia de que los jóvenes busquen la validación en sus amigos, grupos de iguales, las redes sociales, la televisión o lo que está de moda en la cultura popular, más que en lo que ven en su casa o les enseñan en su familia. Muchos padres se encuentran inseguros sobre cuál es su papel. Por miedo a parecer dictadores, terminan abdicando de su autoridad y así evitan los enfrentamientos. Sin embargo, cuando la relación padres-hijo no es la primordial, los hijos carecen de reglas claras sobre lo que está bien y mal. La consecuencia son hijos consentidos, irresponsables e inmaduros. El colapso de la autoridad ofrece a los padres y educadores una oportunidad única para reflexionar sobre su propio estilo educativo y reconocer qué necesitan para reforzar los lazos con sus hijos... o quizá para comenzar a crearlos. La obra es fruto de los más de 25 años de experiencia de Leonard Sax como médico de familia y psicólogo, y está respaldada por cientos de entrevistas personales con niños, padres y profesores de todo el mundo. "Uno de los mayores expertos en educación, el doctor Leonard Sax expone brillantemente los problemas a los que se enfrentan los padres, y después ofrece soluciones. El colapso de la autoridad es académico pero práctico, sencillo pero profundo. Si solo tienes tiempo para leer un libro este año, que sea este". -MEG MEEKER, doctora, autora del best-seller Los 10 hábitos de las madres felices
