An unprecedented and impeccably reported look at how American food manufacturers and their "products" may be endangering our minds.
With obesity becoming one of the fastest-growing worldwide epidemics, and manufactured food fueling that trend, The Crazy Makers is timelier than ever. This updated edition includes a new chapter on autism, as well as revised material that illustrates just how much the industry has changed in a few short years.
Based on extensive research, epidemiological evidence, and a formal study of schoolchildren's eating habits, The Crazy Makers identifies how the latest food products may be literally driving us crazy. Carol Simontacchi offers the reader nutritional primers and recipes to help counteract the problems facing us and our children every time we sit down to eat.

The Feel-Good Guide to Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatique Syndrome: A Comprehensive Resource for Recovery
Author: Lynette Bassman
When they were first documented in the medical literature, fibromyalgia (FMS) and chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) were thought to be little more than psychosomatic complaints. Sufferers were repeatedly told nothing was medically wrong with them, though they slogged through life chronically exhausted and crippled with pain. But times have changed. Medical professionals now recognize that FMS and CFS are very real and highly individualized medical conditions, which require dedicated and attentive care. Many of the first books about FMS and CFS sought to tell readers with the medical establishment "didn't want them to know," but people with FMS and CFS no longer need to be liberated from the "secret stigma" of their condition. Now they need to learn what they can do to start feeling better. This book takes FMS and CFS out of the shadows and explores treatments for each that really work.
It begins with an overview of FMS and CFS, offering a simple explanation of what is known about these conditions. Then describes and evaluates most available therapies, both conventional and alternative. The book even addresses emotional problems that can accompany FMS and CFS and offers ways to overcome them. You'll learn to assess symptoms and customize a treatment approach that meets yourr own personal symptom profile. Instead of "working against the system," you'll be able to use the treatment resources available to them to start feeling better and to stay that way.
