Forget counting calories, fat grams, and cholesterol. Forget blood pressure, blood sugar, and hormone levels. The single most important health measurement is the pH level in your blood. Now, The pH Miracle unlocks the surprisingly crucial role pH balance plays in weight loss. How acidic or alkaline your blood is (pH levels) directly affects your health and is controlled by diet. For example, if the blood becomes overly acidic from eating too much of the wrong kinds of food -- wheat, bananas, meats, and cheese -- it can lead to weight gain, diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and more. The Youngs' program includes over 50 recipes and explains which foods to eat, which to avoid, and which supplements can help on the way towards optimal health and weight loss. In just weeks, readers will find they have more energy and a stronger immune system, and will have shed pounds and inches.

In 2005, Dr. William Penzer, a seasoned psychologist of more than four decades, found himself falling on his emotional face when his 31-year-old daughter was diagnosed with breast cancer. Despite having helped thousands of people navigate the choppy and challenging demands life often imposes, he was drowning in a sea of his own emotions. Like a traveler in a foreign land, which Dr. Penzer came to call Cancerville, he eventually discovered the pain-filled reality of supporting a loved one who has been diagnosed with cancer. In this groundbreaking book, he shares all the secrets of surviving and staying the course in Cancerville, helping people take better care of themselves while being fully present for their loved ones. His advice will help readers quickly adapt to Cancerville: to feel more empowered and optimistic; to rise to the challenges; and to deal with emotional down times, strengthen their minds, and communicate more effectively.

It's the worst possible news - someone you love is diagnosed with cancer. Before you have a chance to do anything, you know you'll need to say something. The usual clichés spring immediately to mind, but surely there's something better to say than "What doesn't kill us makes us stronger"? Just what do you say to someone who has cancer? In Things Not To Say To Someone Who Has Cancer, author Jo Hilder draws on her experience as a cancer survivor, advocate and support group facilitator to introduce new ways to talk about cancer, and to the people we love who are diagnosed with it. With warmth and humor, Jo gently eases us into the inevitable interactions we face when loved ones receive a cancer diagnosis, exploring common challenges we face, socially and emotionally. Jo identifies, addresses and dispels the common cancer clichés we often resort to, introducing simple and comfortable methods for turning awkward interactions into open conversations about cancer. Sharing from her own journey as a cancer patient and her experience delivering cancer support programs, Jo helps her readers understand the reality of cancer and treatment, contrasting this with common stereotypes and cancer myths. Things Not To Say To Someone Who Has Cancer is a practical guide for the uninitiated, providing support for anyone who finds themselves bewildered and afraid in the face of a cancer diagnosis. "If it were an ideology, it would be terrorism. Cancer catches us unawares, unprepared, without mercy or prejudice, forever altering the lives it touches. Jo Hilder has tackled a very difficult subject in Things Not To Say To Someone Who Has Cancer - the very essence of our first contact with cancer. In acknowledging those first emotions and reactions and naming our fears, she sensitively constructs a platform for what is inevitably a long arduous journey for all involved. Having been through that experience personally, I feel Things Not To Say To Someone With Cancer is a great place for anyone to start." Brad Fitzpatrick, husband of Christine who passed away from breast cancer, 1997. "In Things Not to Say to Someone Who Has Cancer, Jo Hilder provides a friendly, well-written guide for things to say instead of the usual clichés. Things Not To Say is a great book for cancer patients, cancer survivors, carers, friends, colleagues, neighbors and health professionals." Carol Rhodes, cancer survivor and program facilitator, Living Well After Cancer. "This book is for anyone who has heard themselves say to a person with cancer 'Let me know if there is anything I can do for you' or 'Just be strong', and that's probably all of us. Beyond the expected list of do's and don'ts for supporting someone with cancer, Jo offers a way to open up conversations, leading us to a deeper and more authentic way of relating around a cancer diagnosis. Jo suggests there is a better way to face cancer with our loved ones." Carolyn Grenville, cancer advocate. "Jo tackles a tough issue with compassion, humor and sensitivity, challenging existing approaches to talking about cancer by shining a light on a new way to communicate around a cancer diagnosis. Things Not To Say also acknowledges the good intentions underpinning those things we know we shouldn't say to someone with cancer, but seem to stumble into anyway. This warm and thoughtful book is much more than a guide of what not to do, and contains much food for thought on new ways to address the issue of cancer and its impact on the ones we love." Kelly Williams "Positive and wise, this book goes well beyond what's promised. Things Not To Say To Someone Who Has Cancer doesn't just tell us what not to say, but leads us along a path to a far more positive and comprehensive way of approaching loved ones with cancer. Far from just being a list, Things Not To Say encourages us to leap forward into a better way, and to trust ourselves to relax into a more natural way of being with someone who has cancer."

When Sara Olsher was diagnosed with cancer at the age of 34, her first thought was how to tell her six-year-old daughter without scaring her. As it turned out, explaining cancer was only the beginning. Treatment is long and causes a lot of ongoing changes in the family - all of which can be confusing, scary, and isolating for kids.Join Stinkerpants and her stuffed giraffe Stuart as they explain the science of cancer and how a loved one's diagnosis and treatment affects a kid's day-to-day life. What Happens When Someone I Love Has Cancer? uses bright and fun illustrations to show how cells can turn into cancer and helps reduce confusion about how cancer treatment affects a person and the kids in their lives."Most of the time we do the same things in the mornings. We wake up. We eat breakfast. (I like apples. Stuart only eats bugs.) . . . When something big changes, what we do each day can change too. Stuart wants to know what happens to our days when someone we love has cancer."Aimed at families with kids ages 4 to 10, Stinkerpants + Stuart books are based on decades of solid science about how kids learn and cope with the major day-to-day changes that result from issues like cancer. Using a visual calendar, Stinkerpants + Stuart books reduce anxiety by showing kids what to expect. What Happens When Someone I Love Has Cancer? is the perfect book for families that want to explain what cancer actually is and how it affects a kid's life, and applies to mothers, fathers, grandparents, and many types of cancer, including breast cancer, colon cancer, blood cancers such as leukemia, and bone cancers. It aims to empower kids with knowledge, which is proven to help kids through traumatic situations.
