The Alcoholism and Addiction Cure: A Holistic Approach to Total Recovery

Author: Chris Prentiss

The Alcoholism and Addiction Cure contains the three-step holistic program to total recovery that is the basis of the miraculous success of Passages. In this revolutionary book, you will learn: The three steps to permanent sobriety, The four causes of dependency, How to create a personalized, holistic treatment program to completely cure your dependency, How your thoughts, emotions, and beliefs are key factors in your recovery, How to stimulate your body's self-healing potential to be forever free of dependency.

"Freedom from dependency starts with understanding that alcohol, drugs, and addictive behaviors are not the real problems," says Chris Prentiss, cofounder of Passages Addiction Cure Center. "Alcohol, street drugs, nicotine, prescription medications, food bingeing, gambling, and the like are merely the substances or behaviors you or your loved ones are using to cope with the real problems-anything from deep emotional pain, ill health, or depression to hypoglycemia, a sluggish thyroid, or brain-wave pattern imbalances. Once the underlying problems are discovered and cured, the need for drugs, alcohol, or addictive behavior will disappear-along with the craving."

Prentiss should know. His son Pax was addicted to heroin, cocaine, and alcohol for ten years. They sought help everywhere, but Pax relapsed again and again. In desperation, they finally created their own holistic, hand-tailored program that was a complete break from all other programs and that combined several effective therapies. It saved Pax's life. Together, father and son founded Passages Addiction Cure Center to help others find their own freedom.

For decades, we've been hearing that alcoholism andaddiction are incurable diseases, but The Alcoholism and Addiction Cure proves that this is a dangerous myth and that the label of "alcoholic" or "addict" destroys the promise of full recovery. Today, thousands are being freed from the old, limiting paradigms by using the groundbreaking approach spelled out in this book. A visionary and an innovator, Chris Prentiss brings new hope to people everywhere who are dependent on drugs, alcohol, or addictive behaviors.

Think Like a Pancreas: A User's Guide to Managing Diabetes with Insulin

Author: Gary Scheiner

There are dozens of books about managing diabetes, but none focuses specifically on using insulin. Now, in Think Like a Pancreas, certified diabetes educator and type 1 insulin user Gary Scheiner gives readers everything they need to know to "think like a pancreas," i.e., to successfully master the art of matching insulin to the body's ever-changing needs. A comprehensive, supremely practical guide free of medical mumbo jumbo, Think Like a Pancreas discusses day-to-day blood glucose control and monitoring; measuring and matching insulin to carbohydrate intake; the pluses and minuses of different insulin-delivery methods; hypoglycemia; exercise; the impact of emotions, stress, and illness; and the dozens of other issues that everyone taking insulin needs to master. A book that is long overdue, this first-ever, indispensable, all-in-one resource will enlighten and inspire the four million people whose lives and well-being depend on daily insulin intake.

Library Journal

Writing for insulin-dependent diabetics, certified diabetes educator and exercise physiologist Scheiner covers the knowledge and actions needed to control blood glucose levels successfully: an understanding of insulin types, proper use of equipment, coordination with the healthcare team,diet and exercise, and a positive attitude. As a Type 1 diabetic, he relates his own difficult experience of adapting his lifestyle and regulating his blood sugar with the less advanced knowledge and technologies of 1986. He then discusses improvements in equipment and medications that have made tighter control possible, emphasizing the long-term benefits of quality disease management. Scheiner's analogies are excellent, and his examples of maintaining control while traveling, dining out, or ill are concrete and instructive. Only the explanations on insulin dosing confuse, and that's due to the complicated nature of the subject, not Scheiner's writing. For motivated readers, then, and consumer health collections.
