"Worried about chemotherapy side effects?
Have you heard that chemo makes your hair fall out?
Are you concerned about what chemo will do to your skin or hair?
What about peripheral neuropathy? Do you have it now? Are you worried it will get worse? If you don't currently have it, are you concerned about chemotherapy giving you peripheral neuropathy in your feet and ankles?
This booklet provides the research results of professionals for ways to improve your overall health - thus helping you cope with the overall procedure - as well as various specific things you can do to help your body deal with some of the less serious, but still annoying and deleterious, side effects of chemotherapy.
All of these research results are freely available on the internet. The trouble is: finding them. I've simply simplified this for you here. I've done the work of gathering the applicable information and bringing it together for your convenience.
Some of the chemo side effects discussed include:
Hair loss in relation to the prescribed drugs and how to mitigate its effects
What to do about dry skin
How to reduce nail damage during chemo
A relatively new, non-invasive procedure for peripheral neuropathy (typical treatments for peripheral neuropathy include addictive pharmaceuticals)
Knowledge is power --- power over your worry. Once you know what to expect, it's easier to “let go” and just deal with it instead of worrying about it. Chemotherapy Relief gives you that knowledge.
Chemotherapy Relief is written in a straight-forward, easy to understand language so anyone with an interest in the subject matter can quickly grasp the concepts. However, self-diagnosis and treatment are highly discouraged. Always discuss any concerns about your chemotherapy treatments or side effects with your doctor."
"There are nine (9) psychological case studies of real people dealing with depression in this 37-page booklet. Each one shows how unique the consequences of this debilitating condition can be on one's life.
The author of these studies, John F. Walsh, M.S. (1937 2012), spent the better part of his life 45 years working as a crisis intervention mental health professional within various mental health hospitals. Jack had a special knack for figuring out what was wrong and helping people deal with their circumstances. The final write-up in this collection of case studies lays out his ideas for how you can best help your friend or loved one. Don't get so wrapped up in their problems that you neglect taking care of yourself."
"Want great tasting veggies from your own garden but cringe at the thought of doing all that back-breaking work of maintaining your garden?
or
If you're currently gardening with chemicals and have decided that gardening organically would give you plants with better nutrition and better taste but you don't want to hang up your tools for 7 years waiting for your soil to heal.
GREAT NEWS!
NO WORK VEGETABLE GARDENING by Joyce Zborower provides simple, easy-to-follow instructions for building and planting a new organic gardening bed right over an old chemical bed, a grassy spot that's never been planted before, a rocky area or even in a raised planting bed so you won't have to bend over to harvest your goodies. And once the bed is ready and planted, any further work on your part is very minimal.
And there are full-color photos to show you exactly what to do.
Is it really "no work?" . . . No, but it's as close as you'll ever get without hiring someone to take care of it for you.
About the Author
Living in a second floor apartment in Chicago was okay for raising herbs and flowers on the window sill, but Joyce wanted a vegetable garden outdoors in the sunshine where she could grow tomatoes and potatoes and squash and beans. After moving to Arizona, she was able to plant a small garden in the back yard of her rented house but the organic gardening books she had at the time recommended tilling and weeding and etc., etc. She thought there must be a better way.
There was. After extensive searching and reading, she found what she was looking for . . . a method of planting and growing veggies with a minimum of work and a maximum of pleasure. And, in No Work Vegetable Gardening she's sharing what she found with you."
"Forward by Jim Henry
President Texas Olive Ranch
Executive Director Texas Olive Oil Council
The Truth about Olive Oil is NOT a cook book. There are no recipes for cooking in the Mediterranean style. There are no pizza recipes.
If anything, you could say this book is about a celebration of the benefits the lowly little olive showers on those who embrace its many flavors and colors by using it - both internally (by eating it) and externally (by rubbing it on their skin and in their hair). Its health giving benefits (anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties) are legendary and can be traced back to its earliest uses well before the time of Christ.
In the pages of this book, I hope to stimulate further interest in the use of olives and olive oil by presenting various "how to do it" scenarios that are practical and fun. For instance, making table olives is an easy and fun thing to do that takes very little actual "doing" on your part. Most of the curing time can be spent by your doing other things while the curing medium does the job of making the fruit edible. I provide specific instructions on how to do this.
And what about getting olives from your own tree(s) pressed so you can enjoy home-grown olive oil? You might think that only commercial growers can do this. Well, I found two commercial olive oil processors who will accept your smaller loads of olives, combine them with other small loads, do the pressing and the bottling and return the resultant oil to you on a prorated basis.
In addition, I tell you about the various grades of olive oil and what they mean to you in terms of their nutritional value. I think you'll be quite surprised at what you discover.
The external uses of olive oil (and some internal uses as well) all involve using this liquid as a form of folk remedy. It's a skin lotion to soothe rough chapped elbows or lips; it's a diaper rash cure; it's a massage oil for easing aches and pains; it's a lot of things and we've only just scratched the surface. There are more inside the book.
What you'll get out of reading this book is a greater appreciation for this elixir that can enhance your life and health in ways you may never even have thought of."

Are you or any of your loved ones among the above groups? If so, then you/they are in danger of suffering the effects of a serious vitamin B12 deficiency. These "effects" can take various forms such as anemia where you feel tired all the time and that your strength has absolutely vanished to real neurological damage as in newborn babies of strict vegan mothers to mental disorders in the elderly mimicking Alzheimer’s disease. Without proper testing, even doctors can be fooled into providing inaccurate diagnoses.

"Sell Your Work is a short report on how to turn your crafts expertise into your business. This report is a comprehensive ""how to"" for getting ready to approach, sell your work to, and ultimately leave your association with a gallery, store or boutique.
It was written by a former State Exhibition Chairperson of Arizona Designer Craftsmen, a statewide organization for fine-crafts artists who participate in juried gallery shows throughout the country and whose work has been sought after by collectors.
Sell Your Work recounts the author's experiences as well as those of other fine-crafts artists and owners of galleries and boutiques regarding what it takes to get your work included in venues where it can be seen, touched, tried on (if jewelry), and purchased."
