Dr. Pascarelli's Complete Guide to Repetitive Strain Injury: What You Need to Know About RSI and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Author: Emil Pascarelli MD

One of the world’s leading authorities on repetitive strain injury tells you how to prevent, treat, and recover from RSI

Living with repetitive strain injury (RSI) can be painful, exasperating, and devastating. If you’ve given up hope that there is any help for your symptoms, if you’ve tried medications, wrist splints, neck braces, and exercises–and have had only temporary relief–this book is for you. Dr. Emil Pascarelli, one of the world’s leading authorities on RSI, offers a comprehensive, prescriptive, practical, and long-awaited sequel to his bestselling Repetitive Strain Injury. You’ll read all about the advances in RSI diagnosis, treatment,and prevention that have occurred since the publication of the previous book. Inside is welcome advice on:

• Recognizing the early signs and risk factors of RSI before they lead to a serious or debilitating condition

• Finding the right doctor, the right diagnosis, and the right treatment

• Preventing RSI using commonsense solutions such as keyboard techniques, posture, and workstation setup

• Employing practical methods to regain the use of muscles, nerves, and tendons that have been damaged by RSI

• Relieving not only the pain but also the emotional stress that so often accompanies RSI

• Following specific warnings for musicians and other at-risk professionals

Because symptoms of RSI are rarely visible, health professionals, employers, and fellow employees often cannot understand what a sufferer of RSI is going through. This book is the best way to understand RSI and learn what you can do about it.

Overdosed America or Que Comeria Jesus

Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine

Author: John Abramson

Using the examples of Vioxx, Celebrex, cholesterol-lowering statin drugs, and anti-depressants, Overdo$ed America shows that at the heart of the current crisis in American medicine lies the commercialization of medical knowledge itself.

Drawing on his background in statistics, epidemiology, and health policy, John Abramson, M.D., an award-winning family doctor on the clinical faculty at Harvard Medical School, reveals the ways in which the drug companies have misrepresented statistical evidence, misled doctors, and compromised our health. The good news is that the best scientific evidence shows that reclaiming responsibility for your own health is often far more effective than taking the latest blockbuster drug.

You -- and your doctor -- will be stunned by this unflinching exposé of American medicine.

Publishers Weekly

According to Abramson, Americans are overmedicated and overmedicalized as a result of the commercialization of health care. Falling prey to marketing campaigns, we demand unnecessary and expensive drugs and procedures, believing they constitute the best possible medical care. Wrong, says Abramson: though more post-heart attack procedures are performed in the U.S. than in Canada, one-year survival rates are the same. Similarly, notes Abramson, a former family practitioner who teaches at Harvard Medical School, we spend more on high-tech neonatology than other Western countries but have a higher infant-mortality rate because of inattention to low-tech prenatal care. Abramson deconstructs the scientific sleight of hand in presenting clinical trial results that leads to the routine prescription of pricey cholesterol-lowering drugs even when their effectiveness has not been proven; he examines what he calls "supply-sensitive medical services"-the near-automatic use of medical technologies, such as cardiac catheterization, less because they are needed than because they are available. Abramson's bottom line: "More care doesn't necessarily mean better care." Arguing firmly that doctors should focus more on lifestyle changes to improve health, Abramson seems less credible when he writes off depression as "exercise-deficiency disease" and disposes of cancer in little more than a page. Still, he makes a powerful and coherent case that American medicine has gone badly astray and needs a new paradigm-one untainted by profits. Agent, Kris Dahl. (Oct.)

Defeat Chronic Fatigue Syndrome or Complete Weight Loss Workbook

Defeat Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: An Eight Step Protocol

Author: Martha E Kilcoyn

When I was three months pregnant with my second child, I caught a flu virus that changed my life. For the next four years I lived in the clutches of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. When I realized that most of the medical profession considered my illness to be "in my head", I felt so isolated, struggling to understand what was wrong with me knowing that it was a real physical illness.

CFS shut down my life as I knew it and forced me to become a recluse spending most of my time in bed between short lived efforts to have a "normal" life. But slowly, through much trial and error, I began to understand the patterns and the cruelty of CFS. In the end, I defeated Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and now live a full and healthy life - totally free of CFS.

This book shares in detail the eight step protocol that I developed and followed as I slowly and steadily regained my health. It's written in a clear, concise format, understanding the struggle that CFS sufferers have with memory and concentration.

By consistently following these steps, I hope that you too can defeat Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. You don't have to live with it!

The formerly bedridden author, now fully recovered, provides a pragmatic and inspiring guide for CFS, fibromyalgia, CFIDS, and ME patients. This proactive, self-management protocol demonstrates how to get control over those aspects of the disease that can be controlled. Physicians will appreciate the emphasis on a strong working relationship and the foundation on which to build a successful treatment plan. Caregivers will better understand their loved ones and get specific suggestions about how to help.

Cort Johnson - phoenix-cfs.org

'Defeat Chronic Fatigue Syndrome' is aimed at the ME/CFS patient, it's short, it's readable and it focuses on the essentials of managing this disease. This book is not the one to tell you to take X supplement for Y problem - indeed the short chapter on supplements is weakest in the book - or which treatments to try. In some ways that's the easy stuff; managing ones disease successfully while being encased in brain fog and being torn by guilt and remorse and frustration - that's the really hard part of ME/CFS and that's precisely what this book is about.
In 'Defeat Chronic Fatigue Syndrome' Martha grapples with the fundamental issues chronic fatigue syndrome patients have to deal with; how do I balance health and responsibility? When should I say stop? What should my priorities be? How should I manage this disease?

Social Support and Physical Health (Current Perspectives in Psychology Series)

Author: Bert N Uchino

This state-of-the-art book examines the effect of social relationships on physical health. It surveys and assesses the research that shows not only that supportive relationships protect us from a multitude of mental health problems but also that the absence of supportive relationships increases the risk of dying from various diseases. Bert N. Uchino discusses the links between social support and mortality from cardiovascular disease, cancer, and HIV/AIDS. He investigates whether social support is more effective for some individuals and within certain cultures. After evaluating existing conceptual models linking social support to health outcomes, he offers his own broader perspective on the issue. And he suggests the implications for intervention and for future research in this area.

Author Biography: Bert Uchino is associate professor of psychology at the University of Utah.

The New Harvard Guide to Women's Health

Author: Karen J Carlson

With the publication in 1996 of The Harvard Guide to Women's Health, women seeking answers to questions about their health had access to the combined expertise of physicians from three of the world's most prestigious medical institutions: Harvard Medical School, Massachusetts General Hospital, and Brigham and Women's Hospital. With complete information on women's health concerns, physical and behavioral, this A to Z reference quickly became a definitive resource, praised especially for its coverage of topics not previously considered under the umbrella of women's health. The New Harvard Guide to Women's Health reunites the authors to bring a valued health reference up to date for a new generation—and for those women who have come to rely on the Harvard Guide and are now wondering what to do about their health as they enter a new stage of life, asking questions like the following:

• I've been on hormone replacement therapy. Should I stop? How?



• Could this rash be lupus?



• I've been on the Pill. What is my risk for stroke?



• Fat is bad, fat is good: What should I believe? And what's left to eat?



• When does ordinary worry become chronic anxiety?



• What screening tests do I need now?

In addition to revised recommendations reflecting the current medical thinking on menopause and hormone replacement therapy, the New Harvard Guide includes

• updated recommendations about cardiac health and heart disease—the #1 killer of women in the United States



• entries reflecting recent advances in theunderstanding and treatment of autoimmune diseases



• better coverage of health concerns throughout a woman's life span, from her first period to menopause and beyond, with a new entry on perimenopause



• expanded nutritional recommendations, including a unique chart of the U.S. government's Daily Reference Intakes for micronutrients, broken down for teens and women whose needs may differ because they are pregnant, breastfeeding, or postmenopausal



• updated information on over-the-counter medications, prescription drugs, procedures, screenings, and diagnostic tests

Library Journal

First published in 1996, this guide has been a valuable resource for female consumers seeking reliable health information. A new edition is most welcome because there have been major changes in the medical treatment of women, particularly in the areas of heart disease and menopause. The authors, two physicians on the faculty of Harvard Medical School and a medical journalist, feel that well-informed women who collaborate with their physicians get the best medical care. In addition to the expected articles on contraception, pregnancy, sexuality, and sexually transmitted diseases, the 300 alphabetically arranged entries cover such general medical topics as colon and rectal cancer, asthma, cosmetic safety, and pesticides and organic food. There are also discussions of domestic violence, cosmetic surgery, obesity, and nutrition. Information on hormone replacement therapy, cardiac disease in women, autoimmune diseases, drugs, screening procedures, and diagnostic tests has been updated to reflect the most current medical thinking. Addressing the health concerns facing women throughout their lives, the volume includes a new entry about perimenopause as well as nutritional charts for women of different ages. An excellent medical companion to Our Bodies, Ourselves for the New Century, which provides the political and psychosocial foundation for women's health advocacy; highly recommended for all health collections.-Barbara M.

Publishers Weekly

In an age of frenetic debates over low-carb vs. low-fat diets, O'Neil and Webb advocate for an indisputable method for weight loss: calories out must exceed calories in, while simultaneously acknowledging that dieting doesn't have to focus on deprivation. They draw on their experiences (O'Neil was a CNN producer and Webb is a nutrition writer with a Ph.D.) to create "a girlfriend's guide to eating out, eating in, entertaining, and traveling." Though they claim it's "the very first diet book for glamour girls of all ages and sizes," it's actually more of a lifestyle book, likely to appeal to the demographic of women who read fitness magazines and have 15 or fewer pounds to lose, or want to maintain a healthy weight while living a busy, changing life. The authors give "the dish" on nutrition, eating in, dining out, drinking, exercising, dressing to maximize your assets and even cheating (in moderation), with each author occasionally sharing a personal experience or preference. Throughout, O'Neil and Webb present sidebars (and occasional recipes) from experts, chefs, restaurateurs and magazine editors including Wolfgang Puck, Felidia Bastianach and Bon App tit editor Barbara Fairchild. Perky writing sometimes belies the deep knowledge and research underlying the nutritional information presented here, yet the authors do a tremendous service by digesting the latest studies on such controversial subjects such as soy ("How much is too much?"), raw food diets and supplements. Their clear analyses will help readers wade through the maze of conflicting nutrition information. Agent, Jenny Bent. (June 18) Forecast: A seven-city author tour and 18-city radio satellite tour will allow O'Neil and Webb to interact with women readers; their energetic air should help sell books.

Choices in Breast Cancer Treatment: Medical Specialists and Cancer Survivors Tell You What You Need to Know

Author: Kenneth D Miller

A diagnosis of breast cancer can be overwhelming. The disease is frightening and the medical landscape confusing. In the wake of fear and confusion comes the need to make decisions about treatment. This book provides women with medically reliable and up-to-date information to help them with these decisions.

Within these pages the reader will find a team of private consultants -- including surgeons, medical oncologists, radiologists, plastic surgeons, and women who have faced breast cancer -- each of whom offers sound advice and valuable insight. In addition to describing surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, hormone therapy, and breast reconstruction, the medical experts clarify choices and offer support, while breast cancer survivors tell their own stories of pain, perseverance, and triumph.

Choices in Breast Cancer Treatment is a rare blend of medical expertise and compelling personal accounts that empowers those with breast cancer to meet the disease with confidence, knowledge, and hope.

Publishers Weekly

Miller, an oncologist and director of the Yale Cancer Center Survivorship Program, presents a unique and indispensable book for women facing breast cancer, which features individual chapters written by medical experts and breast cancer survivors. Asserting that "knowledgeable people make different choices, for different reasons," Miller's overarching message is that each woman is unique, as is her experience with this life-threatening disease. Because there are so many potential scenarios-based upon the tumor's size, the stage of cancer, etc.-treatment options vary, and women must decide which route to take in a timely fashion while simultaneously confronting their fears. Miller's approach provides the reader with the sense that she's had a private and unhurried consultation with each specialist: medical oncologists, radiation oncologists and surgeons. In addition the book includes personal accounts of survivors who have faced an array of experiences, from the woman whose mammogram reveals a lump just weeks before her wedding to the breast cancer statistician who is diagnosed with the very disease she is studying. This collection will help to fortify women making tough choices, offering invaluable information along with hope. (Jan.)

Doody Review Services

Reviewer:Heidi H Richardson, MD(University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics)
Description:This book provides newly diagnosed breast cancer patients with medical facts, descriptions of treatment options, and tips from breast cancer survivors.
Purpose:It assists patients in understanding their treatment options in order to better prepare them to make important decisions regarding their care. The author does an excellent job of describing breast cancer in layman's terms and incorporating accounts from breast cancer survivors.
Audience:The editor is a medical oncologist at the Yale Cancer Center and is the husband of a cancer survivor. The other contributors include medical oncologists, breast surgeons, radiation oncologists, and reconstructive surgeons, as well as breast cancer survivors. Although intended for breast cancer patients, it is also an excellent resource for family members of breast cancer patients as well as women at high risk for the development of breast cancer.
Features:Organized into five sections, this book begins with an overview of breast cancer. This is followed by a discussion of treatment options, the experience of having breast cancer, and narratives from breast cancer survivors, concluding with narratives from healthcare professionals who also had breast cancer. These personal accounts provide important information about the emotional aspects associated with a diagnosis of breast cancer and may help women better anticipate the difficulties of their journey.
Assessment:This is a useful book for patients and their families as it provides a good description of treatment options as well astips from breast cancer survivors.

Rebecca Raszewski - Library Journal

In 2007, there were over 170,000 new breast cancer cases, so the need for up-to-date resources continues. Drawing on the expertise of private consultants, this five-part book edited by Miller (medicine & oncology, Yale Cancer Ctr.) succeeds at being an authoritative resource for a wide audience: women who are at high risk for developing breast cancer and even those with metastatic cancer. The first two parts introduce breast cancer and its treatments; the last three parts deal with the personal experience of breast cancer. Various chapters profile doctors in specialties related to breast cancer such as radiation oncologists and plastic surgeons-there is even a chapter about doctors who are breast cancer survivors. This book effectively illustrates the disease's complexity. Readers will see how women made choices based on what was best for themselves, not on statistics. The illustrations are helpful in demonstrating how breast cancer forms and the surgical procedures. Although medical terms are defined in different sections, a glossary would have been helpful. Highly recommended for consumer health and public libraries.

Natural Woman, Natural Menopause

Author: Marcus Laux

For years, women thought they had only two choices for menopause: avoid taking synthetic hormones altogether and suffer the occasionally debilitating effects of menopause, ranging from bone loss to sleeplessness, or accept a prescription for Premarin and Provera and with it an increased risk of some cancers. But, at this groundbreaking book proves, there is a better, safer, more effective way.

In Natural Woman, Natural Menopause, Marcus Laux, N.D., a leading expert on natural medicine, and Christine Conrad, a patient herself who experienced the unpleasant side effects of synthetic hormones, cut through the confusion and misinformation and show women that:

• They can take natural, plant-derived hormones, which match their own hormones exactly, without any known side effects or cancer risks
• Bio-identical plant-derived hormones are widely available in this country, are prescribed by doctors, and can be taken in pill form or as a cream
• More and more pharmaceutical companies are manufacturing bio-identical plant-derived hormones
• They can look and feel better than ever before

Accessible as well as authoritative, Natural Woman, Natural Menopause features the stories of other women who, like Christine Conrad, found that they didn't have to accept less than a completely safe alternative. More important, in Natural Woman, Natural Menopause Marcus Laux and Christine Conrad offer readers their complete plan for long-lasting health and renewed vitality. Following their "Natural Woman Plan," which features the right combination of plant-derived hormones, nutritional supplements, a plant-rich diet, and an exercise program toeliminate and even reverse the effects of bone loss, women will find that not only will they be more energetic and radiant than they thought possible but they will be adding years of good health to their lives.

Whether you are currently undergoing hormone replacement therapy and can't imagine giving it up or you are in the process of considering your alternatives, Natural Woman, Natural Menopause is a book that no woman nearing or experiencing menopause should be without.

Hungry for More: A Keeping-It-Real Guide for Black Women on Weight and Body Image

Author: Robyn McGe

Blending kitchen table wisdom and her own experience in losing her sister to gastric bypass surgery, author Robyn McGee explores the historical and cultural roots of obesity among black women, offering practical guidelines to weight loss and living a more healthy and balanced life.
Though she advocates a slow and steady approach to weight loss under a doctor's supervision and a commitment to exercise, healthy eating, support groups, and therapy, she also understands that many black women, like her sister, will still choose the option of gastric bypass surgery despite the fact that 1 in 200 patients die from the surgeries.
McGee argues that a range of factors often lead to obesity in black women, including the problem of fat acceptance in the black community, historically negative images of black women, compulsive bingeing and purging, childhood sexual abuse, and a lack of attention to black women in the medical community.
With the memory of her sister's lifelong struggle with weight firmly in mind, McGee conveys to readers the importance of honoring themselves by making healthy choices, starting slow and being patient, seeking help when they need it, and finally, remembering that they are much more than a number on a scale.

Stopping Inflammation or The Long Life Equation

Stopping Inflammation: Relieving the Cause of Degenerative Diseases

Author: Nancy Appleton

Inflammation is a word we hear all the time— "Your throat is inflamed," "You have some inflammation around the knee," "You have an inflamed ear." Most of us think of it as a symptom associated with an infection, irritation, or injury. Dr. Nancy Appleton, however, has discovered that it might be more than just a simple reaction to a health disorder. When the body's tissues are disturbed in some manner, a series of complex reactions takes place: the affected area draws fluid to itself, swells, heats up, and generates liquid by-products. In other words, it becomes inflamed. In most cases, when the disorder stops, the tissue returns to its normal healthy state. Sometimes, though, the tissue remains chronically inflamed. Dr. Appleton's early research demonstrated that this chronic condition might be more harmful than ever suspected. Soon, she began to ask questions: What if inflammation was at the heart of various degenerative diseases? What health benefits could be gained if we could stop inflammation? Stopping Inflammation is the result of Dr. Appleton's ten-year quest to answer these important questions.

Drawing on the latest medical research, the book begins with a full explanation of inflammation. It then looks at its many causes, from food allergies to environmental factors to psychological stress. Next, it focuses on the various health disorders that afflict modern society— obesity, addiction, heart disease, diabetes, cancer, bowel disorders, and so many more—and explains the role that inflammation plays in each of these diseases. The book then provides a number of fresh non-drug treatments aimed not at controlling the problem, but at removing its cause.

Twenty years ago, Dr. Nancy Appleton's groundbreaking bestseller Lick the Sugar Habit exposed the dangers of ingesting excessive amounts of sugar. In her newest work, Stopping Inflammation, Dr. Appleton examines the larger picture of twenty-first-century disease, and finds the underlying cause. Just as important, she offers safe and credible solutions.

About the Author:
Nancy Appleton, PhD, earned her BS in clinical nutrition from UCLA and her PhD in health services from Walden University. She maintains a private practice in Santa Monica, California. An avid researcher, Dr. Appleton lecturers extensively throughout the world, and has appeared on numerous television and radio talk shows. She is the best-selling author of Lick the Sugar Habit and Healthy Bones.

Body Bears the Burden: Trauma, Dissociation, and Disease

Author: Robert Scaer

The Body Bears the Burden: Trauma, Dissociation, and Disease, is the update of the classic book that explains the reasons behind some of the most common symptoms and conditions that previously defied a medical explanation. Respected author, Robert C. Scaer, MD, has diligently simplified the complex medical language that was used in the first edition to make it easier for lay readers and patients to understand—all without sacrificing accuracy. This valuable text presents a new theory of the neurophysiology of traumatic stress and dissociation and includes several updated chapters and new concepts that have been developed since the previous edition.

Human response is quite different than other animals' response to trauma. This response is discussed in detail in The Body Bears the Burden: Trauma, Dissociation, and Disease, including the fight/flight/freeze cycle and how the human response causes abnormal regulation of many body systems which then may lead to many illnesses or conditions. The emotional and physical experiences of patients with Posttraumatic Stress Disorder and other syndromes such as whiplash are comprehensively examined. Patients and lay readers alike who have been told it is "all in your head" may well feel like this book was specifically written about them and the unexplained complex symptoms they experience.

Topics in The Body Bears the Burden: Trauma, Dissociation, and Disease, include:

• The role of the fight/flight/freeze response in traumatic stress
• The neurophysiology of traumatic stress and dissociation
• The Whiplash Syndrome as a model for procedural memory in trauma
• Analysis of traumatic repetition
• The theoretical concept of somatic dissociation
• The varied syndromes and medical diseases of trauma and dissociation
• A theoretical analysis or therapy for trauma
• Illustrative case histories of trauma and the body
• And more!

The Body Bears the Burden: Trauma, Dissociation, and Disease, is valuable information for physicians, psychologists, psychotherapists, social workers, physical, occupational, and speech therapists, nurses, and those lay people looking to better understand the physiologic rationale for a large number of perplexing chronic medical diseases and syndromes.

Doody Review Services

Reviewer: Philip Khoury, MD (Rush University Medical Center)
Description: This historically and biologically oriented presentation of trauma is written by a neurologist who is an expert on whiplash injury.
Purpose: The purpose is to provide evidence for a biological root for somatic and emotional consequences of traumatic stress. It is a timely subject, given recent events. The author largely achieves the goal.
Audience: The target audience includes professionals in the fields of rehabilitation and psychotherapy, patient care, and general medical practice. The book is not intended for lay people.
Features: Using the example of the whiplash victim, the author delineates the biological changes caused by trauma as the root of somatic sensations and alterations in mental status. What is best about the book is that it presents this evidence in a well organized and compelling style. There are few figures, which are of little pedagogic value. The index, concluding remarks at the end of each chapter, and a large endnote section are very useful.
Assessment: This is a well written presentation of the available evidence linking mental status to biological changes caused by trauma. However, this information is adequately covered in other sources, such as in the chapter on Stress and Psychiatry in Kaplan and Sadock's Comprehensive Textbook of Psychiatry, 7th edition (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2000). The book's usefulness would be much greater if the section on treatment was expanded.

What People Are Saying

REMARKABLE . . . provides clinically relevant descriptions of the mind/body dysfunctions of both the central and autonomic nervous systems of traumatized patients. Even more than a comprehensive overview, the author presents an integrated neuropsychobiological model of the underlying mechanisms of trauma pathology, which he demonstrates in numerous case histories and applies to various trauma therapies. A CREATIVE, CUTTING-EDGE WORK. (Allan N. Schore, PhD, Assistant Clinical Professor, Department of Psychiatry, University of California at Los Angeles School of Medicine)
