The Anti-Aging Solution: 5 Simple Steps to Looking and Feeling Young

Author: Marcia Zimmerman

A medically proven program to prevent and reverse the DNA damage that causes aging

You have it in your power to retain the health, beauty, and vitality of youth well past fifty or sixty and beyond. All of us grow older, but it's a medically proven fact that how we age is a choice. With a few simple lifestyle changes, you can reap amazing visible and tangible benefits in just a few days—and this groundbreaking book shows you how.

Written by an all-star team of internationally acclaimed anti-aging experts, The Anti-Aging Solution is the first guide to reveal how you can reverse aging on a genetic level. By following a uniquely effective five-step program—which includes stress-reduction techniques, easy-to-follow dietary guidelines, moderate exercise, inexpensive skin treatments, and supplements—you can reverse DNA damage, enhance DNA repair, and start to look younger, feel younger, and be younger right away. The Anti-Aging Solution shows you how to:

• Say goodbye to aching joints, sagging skin, and fatigue

• Improve the quality and function of the genetic material in your cells

• Ramp up your body's self-repair functions

• Increase your stamina, endurance, and sex drive

• Dramatically improve your resistance to disease, including many cancers

• Have more youthful, radiant skin

Publishers Weekly

Anti-aging expert Giampapa (Quantum Longevity), DNA researcher Pero and nutritionist Zimmerman present a five-step program that claims to reverse the aging process. Before readers can say they've seen this before, the authors insist their book is different because it "attacks aging at its genetic roots with a comprehensive plan." Giampapa, Pero and Zimmerman first present a set of simple self-examinations for readers to "factor their personal aging equation" by measuring "aging indicators" like chronic pain, poor memory and reduced mobility. After a detailed explanation of how poor nutrition and free-radical damage promote aging, the authors present their program, which intends to change "the way our genes express themselves." The five stages consist of reducing stress, enhancing nutrition, exercising regularly, using dietary supplements and caring for the skin. For each step, the authors offer an abundance of helpful pointers; their advice on nutrition and its effects is particularly useful. Among the book's perks are easy to follow, color-coded charts detailing a healthy diet (which can be modified for vegetarians), recommended exercise routines that are beneficial but not overly demanding, skin care regimens and a list of suppliers of nutraceuticals (natural, bioactive chemical compounds that have health-promoting, disease-preventing or medicinal properties). (Mar.) Forecast: With a $75,000 marketing budget, publicity in New York and New Jersey, and national print and radio campaigns, this book has a shot at selling out its 50,000-copy first printing.

Cancer Therapy or Insulin Pump Therapy Demystified

Cancer Therapy: The Independent Consumer's Guide to Non-Toxic Treatment and Prevention

Author: Ralph W Moss

This thorough guide is a must-read for cancer patients and their families seeking treatment options.

Library Journal

In this consumer's guide, the author of The Cancer Industry ( LJ 2/15/80; LJ 10/15/89, rev. ed.) discusses alternative cancer therapies that include vitamins, minerals, herbs, diets, immune boosters, and other substances. He also covers conventional chemotherapy and bone marrow transplantation but emphasizes their adverse effects. Though he provides references to scientific articles, most of them are animal or tissue culture studies; there is no information about the effectiveness of these treatments for humans. A strongly worded disclaimer encourages readers to seek medical advice before using these treatments, and a handshake symbol in the text indicates a substance that is compatible with conventional therapies. Moss also includes a resource list of organizations concerned with cancer treatment. Malin Dollinger, M.D. & others' Everyone's Guide to Cancer Therapy ( LJ 5/15/91) offers a detailed, objective overview of current cancer care that is a more appropriate choice for most collections, but Cancer Therapy is a useful addition to collections where there is interest in alternative health treatments.-- Barbara M. Bibel, Oakland P.L., Cal.

Insulin Pump Therapy Demystified: An Essential Guide for Everyone Pumping Insulin

Author: Gabrielle Kaplan Mayer

Increasing numbers of people with type 1 diabetes, all of whose lives depend on insulin, as well as type 2 diabetics, have already adopted the insulin pump, which replaces a regimen of insulin shots with a continuous delivery of insulin. Yet many who stand to benefit from "the pump" are put off by not fully understanding the device, and many already using it don't have anyone with whom to compare notes about its use. Now Gabrielle Kaplan-Mayer, who has used the pump for more than three years, cuts through common personal fears about the pump and offers insight into the day-to-day challenges—and rewards—of life with it. Drawing on interviews with more than seventy-five pump users, including Nicole Johnson, Miss America 1999, as well as diabetes experts and other health professionals, Kaplan-Mayer discusses how the pump affects your sex life, dealing with money issues, finding support, counting carbohydrates, and much more. Insulin Pump Therapy Demystified offers knowledgeable, informative, reassuring advice that all pump users—current and future—will find extremely valuable. Charts and tables add to this valuable insider's guide.

Library Journal

An insulin pump is one of the newer technologies for insulin delivery to diabetics, giving them greater control over blood sugars. Attached to the body, it allows the wearer to administer medication frequently without traditional syringes. Kaplan-Mayer, a diabetic who has used the pump since 1999, has written an essential guide for those considering use of the device. She emphasizes the necessary motivation for success as well as the pros and cons of the pump and encourages potential users to do extensive research, listing suggested web sites and organizations. She also covers body image, do's and don'ts, special occasions, troubleshooting, emotional implications, cost, and sleep considerations. A comparison chart of the various devices on the market is included. The author's discussion of what to expect during initial setup is very helpful, and she clearly explains changes in lifestyle after transition to the pump. An outstanding contribution to diabetes collections.-Janet M. Schneider, James A. Haley Veterans' Hosp., Tampa, FL Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information.

Dr. Atkins' New Diet Cookbook

Author: Robert C Atkins

This book contains 250 of the most asked for recipes at the Atkins Center.

Publishers Weekly

In 1972, Atkins became a household name with his bestselling book, The Diet Revolution . In it, he claimed that to induce rapid weight loss one need only follow a high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet--carbs were the culprit in keeping people overweight. Twenty years later, he published Dr. Atkins' New Diet Revolution , continuing to maintain that weight gain had little to do with fat intake--a controversial conviction. His latest work is a cookbook designed as a companion to the 1992 volume, and promising to provide the most ``mouth-watering meals for the most effective diet ever devised.'' In case readers are unfamiliar with his weight-loss program, Atkins describes its four stages and offers a selection of sample menus. Recipes range from the simple (hard-boiled eggs) to appetizers, salads, meats and poultry. No-holds-barred desserts call for heavy cream, eggs, sour cream and butter; despite Atkins's claims, his is not always light cooking. In the end, it's the desserts that illustrate the absurdities of the Atkins program: a recipe for cheesecake is chock full of cream cheese, eggs and creme fraiche, yet the final ingredient is 12 packets of a sugar substitute. ``Good cuisine has always rooted itself firmly in luxurious fat,'' writes Atkins in his introduction. Really? (June)

Library Journal

This complement to Dr. Atkins' New Diet Revolution (LJ 7/92) presents menus along with 200 recipes. Devised by Atkins Center director Fran Gare, the recipes follow the same high-protein, high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet (including the complex carbohydrates) that Atkins proposes in his previous book. Atkins maintains that his diet controls diabetes, but the Atkins diet is contrary to information given by the American Dietetic Association and the American Diabetic Association. In the ``University of California at Berkeley Wellness Letter'' (December 1992), Dr. Sheldon Margen cautions people against following this diet, arguing that it could harm some people, especially diabetics. All cheeses are allowed freely (though they are high in fat, sodium, and cholesterol), as are all meats. Several recipes for salad dressings contain raw eggs, which could lead to salmonella food poisoning. Since the recipes in this book could be dangerous if followed, it is not recommended.-Loraine F. Sweetland, Rebok Memorial Lib., Silver Spring, Md.
