More than thirty-years after it was first diagnosed, Lyme disease remains one of our most misunderstood - and pervasive illnesses. This often undetected disorder is increasing at an alarming rate and if not treated early, can cause debilitating symptoms. More than 1.7 million people in the United States, Europe, and China currently suffer from Lyme, yet they have often been unable to find the right treatment and care. Finally, "Beating Lyme Disease" sheds new light and offers those who struggle with it the guidance to get the help they need. A respected health author and educator, Constance Bean is an authority on this elusive illness. In 1993, she was diagnosed with Lyme and has spent the past fourteen years researching its various treatments and diagnoses. Compassionate and thoroughly researched, this is the first book that will enable doctors and their patients to diagnose, treat and conquer this complex disease..

On December 23, 2003 authorities announced that the first case of Mad Cow Disease in the United States had been found in a dairy cow in Mabton, Washington The admission, though downplayed, hides a frightening reality. For thirty years, a covert sampling operation has been conducted on North American cattle to reveal how far the deadly prions that are thought to cause Mad Cow Disease have spread thought the nation's livestock. These efforts may be too late: BRAIN TRUST warns of an impending public health catastrophe as the American food supply, and other countries to which they export, becomes progressively more contaminated. Although statistics argue that only one in a million people become affected with the human version of Mad Cow Disease, research on many postmortem brains of Alzheimer's patients provide questionable data: the classic ravaged pathology of human Mad Cow Disease. Currently, there are millions of people worldwide who have been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, and the numbers are growing. How many of those are related to Mad Cow? Until now, this complex story has remained untold - no one has been able to connect the dots. With BRIAN TRUST, Colm Kelleher reveals the frightening health implications for the first time..

OVERVIEW: 1) Symptom Survey (to evaluate if hand pain is from the neck, shoulder or hand). 2) Clinical Research: Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is Secondary to Undiagnosed Shoulder Problems (TOS) 85 Patients Treated. 3) A Reproducible, Inexpensive, Non-Surgical Treatment For Peripheral Nerve Compression 100 Patients Treated {via Non-Surgical Neuro-Vascular Decompression (NSNVD)}. 4) Cost analysis shows treatment under 10% of worker’s comp average. ABSTRACT: 100 patients were treated (155 peripheral nerve entrapment presentations and compression of the nerves outside the spinal cord) including: 85 with hand symptoms, 14 with sciatica and 1 with femoral nerve compression. Physical examination determined if hand pain originated in the spine, shoulder or hand without costly radiological testing.

Eighty-five of the patients completely resolved: 86% of which required an average of 3.2 treatments and 14% of which required an average of 16.5 treatments. Five patients require maintenance care @ 1 treatment every 1-3 weeks. Ten patients are permanent and stationary (maximally improved). Regarding the fifteen patients that did not experience 100% resolution, they rated their reduction in symptoms at about 60%.

Half of all patients have been tracked for over one year with only 10% having mild flair ups within 2-6 months and this re-occurrence was successfully resolved with an average of 2 treatments.

All hand patients had the primary cause of their presentation in the shoulder.

Treatments take 30-45 minutes. The cost per treatment is $52 (@ CA Worker’s Comp). 90% of the treatment time is focused on the shoulder. The two groups treated averaged $166.40 & $858.00 to completely resolve, or reach maximally improved. Reoccurrence and comparative cost analysis is included. This highly effective, inexpensive treatment incorporates massage, physical therapy and joint manipulation (chiropractic or non-thrust). Experienced massage therapists successfully duplicate treatment after 4, 4-hour seminars..

Your real problem may be a physical condition, and not an eating disorder! If you have been diagnosed as having Anorexia Nervosa or Bulimia, the real problem may be a physical condition and not in your head! Most doctors are not aware they need to run a simple test to check for a not so rare disease, before you will know for sure. The first symptom was reported to my pediatrician at one month, and nothing was done. After being heavy in junior high, I plummeted sixty pounds at fifteen, and the horror story began. The next ten years was a roller coaster of doctor after doctor accusing me of having Anorexia Nervosa, while never running the appropriate medical tests to look for what was really physically wrong. This book tells the tale of what I call The Modern Day Leper. I was shunned by those I thought were friends, along with teachers and employers. I learned of conversations behind my back about what I was doing to myself, as if I had any control over my weight. While at my lowest weight of sixty-three pounds, being constantly stared and glared at in public. Finally my computer challenged mother saved my life by searching on the internet, finding Dr. William P. Smedley, M.D., F.A.C.S. The one doctor that knew where to look. I was slowly dying. All the while the real underlying problem was caused by a known and not so rare chronic disease, that was corrected by a relatively simple surgery. My case was genetic. Since my surgery my mother and grandmother have had the same surgery. They did not have the weight loss problem, but had other symptoms of the disease that were also ignored by their doctors for decades. This disease affects different people in different ways. Looking back in my family s medical history, the related problems are almost epidemic. Some family members have chronic related problems and are now convinced they have been misdiagnosed for years..
