The Diet and Lifestyle Guide—A Diet and Lifestyle Blueprint
by Brenda Davis, RD

This book is not just for anyone with diabetes.  It contains all the perfect recommendations for anyone with cancer, heart disease, or any other chronic illness.  The following is taken from the back of the book:

Research shows that following a plant-based diet not only can reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes but, can also reverse the disease.  Brenda Davis (Registered Dietician) deciphers the latest scientific evidence and explains why and how a whole-food, plant0focused diet can benefit anyone with this devastating disease.

Well-designed plant-based diets work because they address the root causes of diabetes.  They maximize powerful protective dietary components that are concentrated in plant foods and work together to ease inflammation and oxidative stress, stabilize blood glucose levels, enhance gut micro flora, and keep blood pressure and cholesterol in check.  At the same time, plant-based diets minimize the harmful components concentrated in highly processed foods and animal products.

Lifestyle adjustments in conjunction with improved dietary habits are essential for achieving and maintaining diabetes health goals.  Stress management, exercise, adequate sleep, social activity, and a healthy weight all contribute to a balanced trinity of physical fitness, mental clarity, and emotional stability.

“Kick Diabetes Essentials is a gold mind for people with diabetes.  It is packed with solid scientific evidence, practical guidelines, and carefully constructed recipes.  Brenda Davis is my favourite go-to-dietitian.  You can rest assured that you are in very capable hands.” — Michael Greger, MS (How Not To Die)

"The thoughts we think and the words we speak create our experiences."

by Louise Hay

I have had this book in my library since it was first published in 1999 and I have referred to it many, many times over the years for inspiration, insights and motivation.

Louise's key message in this powerful book is: "If we are willing to do the mental work, almost anything can be healed."  She explains how limiting beliefs and ideas are often the cause of illness.  She shows how you can change your thinking—and improve the quality of your life!

Louise Hay nailed it in this book.  She has covered everything in beautifully coloured and illustrated pages.  Chapter 15 is list taken from her book “Heal Your Body” which is a great quick check in on the body part that is causing pain, grief, irritation.  The insights guide the reader to delve deeper into their own story to help unravel the mystery of what the body is saying.

Louise explains how our beliefs, ideals and ideas are often the cause of our illness.  This book shows you how to change your thinking and improve the quality of your life.

An absolute must for anyone wanting to bring consciousness into their way of life.  Thank you Louise for this book, an amazing legacy.

How People Prevail in the Face of Illness

by Jerome Groopman, M.D.

The author is a doctor of oncology/hematology with over 30 years experience.  He is definitely well versed in mainstream cancer treatments (surgery, chemotherapy, radiation) and maintenance support drugs.  He also has extensive experience and knowledge related to research which he goes into extensively throughout the book to validate is conclusions.

Throughout this book, the author gives references to numerous case studies as he explores why some people survive serious illnesses which lead him to study the deeper concepts of “hope” and define false hope vs. true hope.  He connects with other researchers throughout the book.

Building on his own personal experience with a debilitating illness, he comes closer to understanding the meaning of “hope” and relates it back to many of his case studies.

In his own words: “Hope…is vital to our lives as the very oxygen that we breathe. … The question—why some people find and hold on to hope while others do not—was what moved me to write this book.”

I would recommend this book for all medical professionals as it will help one to understand how to talk and treat their patients incorporating the many languages of “hope”.

How to Relieve Foot Numbness, Tingling, Burning and Cramping without Drugs or Surgery

by Dr. Philip A. Straw

In this book, Dr. Philip Straw outlines how to relieve foot numbness, tingling, burning, and cramping without drugs or surgery.

Years of experience he points out the many reasons for a patient to present with symptoms of neuropathy.  He lists the symptoms and causes of neuropathy especially in the feet with a focus on cause originating mostly from diabetes, poor diet and lifestyle habits.

In the second half of this book, Dr. Straw, presents his Optimal Health Plan which lists his recommendations for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks.  He backs up his health plan with a number of success stories.

I would recommend this book for anyone who is suffering from neuropathy or knows someone who is.  This book will help you to understand the causes of neuropathy and supplements and alternative health practices that can be introduced into your lifestyle to help you better deal with the pain, stiffness and disability associated with neuropathy.

Alternative Therapies that  Treat and Prevent Cancer

by Dr. Mark Stengler & Dr. Paul Anderson

This is a wonderful reference book for anyone looking for recommendations for supplements and alternative treatments that will either compliment or contradict cancer treatments.  There is very little reference to the various types of cancers and specific cancer treatments.  It focuses on basic mainstream chemotherapy treatments using as it calls “toxic” in many places throughout the book.

This book goes into each supplement in detail and how it compliments cancer treatments, side effects and long term use.  Very informative.  The index at the back of the book is very helpful for quick research.

The book mentions a number of alternative treatments, but gives a very basic overview of each one; however, it does outline which of these treatments work best for specific cancers, which I found helpful.

By Narayan Singh Khalsa, Ph.D.
Reformatted and Republished by K. Brent Fisher, D.C.

This is a must have for anyone wishing to explore the intuitive nature of one’s ailments, illness, aches, pains and emotional discord.  I have had a copy of this book on my shelf for over 25 years.  This is an indispensible reference tool for any alternative health practitioner, psychologists, spiritual mentors and guides.

If you wish to obtain a copy of this publication you will have to source through used book references.

Messages from the body, physical manifestations of the soul's 'scarring' point to what needs to be tracked and modified in our emotional / cognitive / behavioural / evaluational / spiritual system. Symptoms and syndromes (clusters of syndromes) express what we are unconscious of and what we are 'shoving into our shadow' - that part of us to where things that were (are) not acceptable to us and /or to those around us are relegated, especially during the intensely impressional childhood period, where at the beginning in particular, we tend to put god's face on the parents and other significant caretakers and relationships. What the symptoms and syndromes often represent then is devolution of a 'shadow-shoving' process in which we are refusing to integrate our qualities or needs into our consciousness and lives due to severely repressive and / or suppressive reactions to these aspects of our nature when we were children.

In this wonderful book, Narayan-Singh explores the multifarious physical symptoms and what they tell us about our emotional states.

The story, the corruption and the promise

By Barry Lynes

I have had an association with an alternative health practitioner that uses a number of Rife machines for many years.  With curiosity as to how things work, the history behind the technology and the health benefits has always lead me to books, articles and other research avenues.  This is one of those books that helps to explain the history and life of Dr. Rife, the technology that he developed and what happened to it.

Here is what the publisher has to say about this book:

In 1987, Barry Lynes wrote the classic book on Rife history called The Cancer Cure That Worked. Rife's World of Electromedicine is the sequel, published in 2009. What is the difference between the two books? The Cancer Cure That Worked was primarily a biographical account of Royal Raymond Rife's life and work, including detailed, dated records of the events which occurred, and in-depth accounts from the people involved.

Rife's World of Electromedicine, on the other hand, is a bird's eye view, short summary of the same time period and events. Instead of a detailed biography, Rife's World is an expository piece that includes brief, targeted chapters addressing each aspect of Rife's era, utilizing piercing, specific, and direct quotes and excerpts from historical documents including magazine and newspaper articles, court transcripts, Rife's own statements, and the eye-witness accounts of those who were present during Rife's lifelong achievements.

Written as a short story, Rife's World is affordably priced so that everyone can read about Royal Raymond Rife. The book is a perfect gift for someone who wants to find out more about Rife but doesn't have time to read a longer book. Additionally, the new book explains what 20+ years of additional research and document retrieval by a dedicated grass roots group have discovered and unearthed. Some of the previously missing, key factors in the suppressed and censored cure for cancer were lost or even locked away in physicians' closets for decades in order to prevent censors from destroying overwhelming evidence. Now, this evidence is printed for the first time in Rife's World.

It's not unusual to experience mental distress after the onset of a disability. Advocating for yourself and seeking support are important in the short and long term.

By Christine Steele, Journalist
Posted by Disability Secrets.com

Updated 12/01/2022

"One in four adults in the U.S. are living with a disability, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). That's 61 million people, or 26% of the adult population, not an insignificant number.

If you've recently been diagnosed with a permanent disability, you might find yourself struggling to adjust to your diagnosis. Or, if your disability isn't new, the ongoing stress of managing it can take a toll.

But on top of adjusting to and coping with life with a disability, you might also find yourself experiencing new or heightened mental health struggles. As you'll learn here, there are resources to help you move forward."

"If you have a disability, you’ll know that although life will throw you a number of challenges and frustrations, they can ultimately lead to learnings and even positives. As we come to the end of a very difficult 2020, our writer Raya lists 10 things living with a disability can teach you – giving you strength for a better 2021. 

Across the media, TV and films, the idea that disability is the worse thing that can happen to anyone is so often repeated. And this misconception is played out in society.

I frequently meet people who truly believe that being disabled is worse than being in prison. As a disabled person, I know this isn’t true.

Yes, there are obstacles we have to overcome, and often many more than the average non-disabled person. But it is for this very reason that disability can enrich your life rather than devalue it.

I, along with many other disabled people, have learnt so many things through living with a disability – and I’m a better person for it."
