'An extraordinary source of inspiration for autistic children, their parents - and all people' TimeIt's estimated that one in almost a hundred people are diagnosed as being on the autistic spectrum but there is far more hope for them today than ever before thanks to groundbreaking new research.In this fascinating and highly readable book, Temple Grandin offers her own experience as an autistic person alongside remarkable new discoveries about the autistic brain, as well as genetic research. She also highlights long-ignored sensory problems as well as the need to treat autism symptom by symptom, rather than with an umbrella diagnosis. Most exciting of all, she argues that raising and educating children on the autistic spectrum needs to be less about focusing on their weaknesses, and more about fostering their unique contributions.

A comprehensive guide to natural, do-it-yourself oral care, Holistic Dental Care introduces simple, at-home dental procedures that anyone can do. Highlighted with fifty-three full-color photos and illustrations, this book offers dental self-care strategies and practices that get to the core of the problems in our mouths--preventing issues from taking root and gently restoring dental health. Based on a "whole body approach" to oral care, Holistic Dental Care addresses the limits of the traditional approach that treats only the symptoms and not the source of body imbalances. Taking readers on a tour of the ecology of the mouth, dental health expert and author Nadine Artemis describes the physiology of the teeth and the sources of bacteria and decay. Revealing the truth about the artificial chemicals in many toothpastes and mouthwashes, Artemis also discusses the harmful effects of mercury fillings and the much safer ceramic filling options that are available. Covering topics that include healthy nutrition, oral care for children, and the benefits of botanical substances and plant extracts for maintaining oral health, Artemis introduces a comprehensive eight-step self-dentistry protocol that offers an effective way to prevent decay, illness, acidic saliva, plaque build-up, gum bleeding, inflammation, and more.

'Bad Science' hilariously exposed the tricks that quacks and journalists use to distort science, becoming a 400,000 copy bestseller. Now Ben Goldacre puts the $600bn global pharmaceutical industry under the microscope. What he reveals is a fascinating, terrifying mess.Doctors and patients need good scientific evidence to make informed decisions. But instead, companies run bad trials on their own drugs, which distort and exaggerate the benefits by design. When these trials produce unflattering results, the data is simply buried. All of this is perfectly legal. In fact, even government regulators withhold vitally important data from the people who need it most. Doctors and patient groups have stood by too, and failed to protect us. Instead, they take money and favours, in a world so fractured that medics and nurses are now educated by the drugs industry.The result: patients are harmed in huge numbers.Ben Goldacre is Britain's finest writer on the science behind medicine, and 'Bad Pharma' is the book that finally prompted Parliament to ask why all trial results aren't made publicly available - this edition has been updated with the latest news from the select committee hearings. Let the witty and indefatigable Goldacre show you how medicine went wrong, and what you can do to mend it.

Bestseller med 23 oplag i USA.Weston A. Price (1870-1948) er blevet kaldt ”ernæringens Charles Darwin”, og er blandt fagfolk mest kendt for sine enestående rejseberetninger om naturfolk i hele verden. Hans dokumentation af hvad der skaber et stærkt helbred var forud for sin tid, og giver den dag i dag antageligvis stadig en fremragende referenceramme for menneskers sundhed. Fysisk degeneration opleves i dag i utallige afskygninger, både hos os selv, familie, venner og bekendte. Men hvad indebærer en god fysik egentlig? Og hvad betyder kosten for et stærkt helbred uden livsstilssygdomme? Naturfolks gode helbred er en kendt sag, og i 1930’erne besluttede den højt respekterede amerikanske tandlæge, Weston A. Price, sig for selv at få syn for sagen. Sammen med sin hustru rejste han ud i verden for at finde hemmeligheden. I stedet for at fokusere på sygdom undersøgte han sunde og raske mennesker, og udfordrede sig selv til at forstå, hvordan lige netop disse mennesker opnåede så forbløffende godt helbred. Svarene, han fandt, var overraskende set i forhold til de moderne opfattelser af, hvad der forstås ved korrekt ernæring: de forskellige naturfolk fik gennem deres kost en række livsnødvendige næringsstoffer, der gav dem styrke og immunitet mod sygdom, og denne bog beskriver deres nedarvede visdom nærmere. Med videnskabelige metoder konkluderede Dr. Price, at naturfolks opskrift på et sundt helbred i virkeligheden er den målestok, som moderne mennesker bør sammenligne deres levevis med - en tankevækkende og kontroversiel konklusion, dengang og nu. Weston Prices enestående rejsebeskrivelser med analyse og fortolkning af de naturlige principper for optimal ernæring foreligger nu på dansk.Forord af Globetrotter Jens Bjerre.

Vi lever i et samfund, hvor mad ikke bare er lettilgængeligt, men hvor vi konstant bombarderes af madreklamer. Vi skal hele tiden forholde os til, hvad vi skal spise, hvor meget og hvornår.Mange forsøger slankekure, og de fleste af dem lover store vægttab på kort tid. Fælles for de slankekure er, at de forsøger at minimere vores kalorieindtag. Det er en forsimplet måde at se vægttab på. Ligningen tager nemlig ikke hensyn til alt det, der kan forhindre os i at holde kalorieindtaget nede på sigt, og den tager helt bestemt ikke hensyn til alt det, der sker i hjernen.Hvis operationer og symptombehandlinger er de bedste løsninger på svær overvægt, fortæller det os, at der må være noget på spil, der hverken omhandler dårlig rygrad, dovenskab, elendig timing, eller hvad vi ellers kan finde på at fortælle os selv, når slankekurene fejler. Det er det, denne bog handler om: Hvordan hjernen ændrer sig, når vi indtager kalorierig mad, og hvordan disse ændringer gør deres bedste for at få os til at opsøge de søde sager og fede retter, også selvom vi forsøger at piske os selv til noget andet.

For første gang på dansk præsenteres en selvhjælpsbog, der med afsæt i tilknytningsteorien giver læseren redskaber til at arbejde med spiseforstyrrelser og træningsafhængighedDen traditionelle behandling af spiseforstyrrelser og træningsafhængighed har ofte fokus på regulering af maden, vægten og træningen. Men lidelserne kan være en måde at håndtere livet på, hvor kroppen bliver gidsel i forsøget på at komme væk fra følelsesmæssig smerte. Denne bog kan vise dig en vej ud af smerten og frem mod et friere og rigere liv.Har du eksempelvis tidligt i livet erfaret, at andre mennesker gør dig usikker og forvirret? Har du ikke lært at trøste og berolige dig selv, men skullet tage dig af de voksnes bekymringer og trivsel? Har du været nødt til at finde en strategi, hvor du kunne finde den tryghed, som du ikke har fået i dine tidlige nære relationer? Med kroppen som gidsel giver dig råd og vejledning til at komme ud af spiseforstyrrelsen eller træningsafhængigheden. Trin for trin får du en omsorgsfuld gennemgang af symptomer, forklaringer og redskaber.Som forælder står du mange gange alene og kan registrere at noget er galt, men hvordan tager du fat om problemet og hvad skal du gøre for at hjælpe dit barn. Gennem bogen får du hjælp til at forstå dit barn, og vejledning til at støtte helingen. Behandlere vil kunne finde redskaber til at arbejde tilknytningsbaseret.Bogens ene forfatter Mia Beck Lichtenstein er psykolog, ph.d. og forsker. Igennem 20 år har hun arbejdet med spiseforstyrrelser og træningsafhængighed og den psykiske smerte og længsel bag lidelserne. Mia har som fagperson deltaget i TV udsendelser om emnet, bl.a. indenfor sportens verden.Sammen med to tidligere klienter, Hanne og Cecilie, beskriver Mia en behandlingstilgang, der sætter fokus på de tidlige tilknytningserfaringer. Forfatterne deler, rørende og personligt, deres erfaringer med hungeren efter nærende relationer, livet med smerten, og vejen ud af kropsfængslet gennem trygge relationer.--For nogle er det behov, som spiseforstyrrelsen dækker over, en dyb længsel efter at være forbundet til andre mennesker. En længsel efter at blive værdsat og elsket. Maden og træningen udfylder her et tomrum, hvor nære, tætte og trygge relationer skulle have været. Denne bog er den første af sin slags, fordi den går i dybden med, hvordan utryghed og mangel på omsorg i barndoms - hjemmet kan lægge kimen til en spiseforstyrrelse. - Anne Gaardmand & Morten Elsøe, MadroInstituttet---Privatpraktiserende psykolog Karin G. Rasmussen skriver om Med kroppen som gidsel: "Der har været megen 'berøringsangst' hos fagpersoner og i den offentlige debat de seneste mange år i forhold til at se på forældrenes rolle og ansvar ('skyld' og 'svigt') i udviklingen af psykiske forstyrrelser eller lidelser hos deres børn. Man har selvfølgelig ikke villet ende i 'Mor er roden til alt ondt'-grøften, men det har så betydet, at rigtig meget er blevet gjort til et spørgsmål om genetik og kemi, mens tilknytningens betydning er blevet negligeret."
