The ADHD Handbook draws
on the most up-to-date
research from around the
world to present a
comprehensive look at
ADHD. Attention Deficit
Hyperactivity Disorder
(ADHD) is now one of the
most common childhood
disorders right across
the world, with a wealth
of conflicting advice
available everywhere you
look. But most parents
want only one thing: to
find out what is going on
with their child and how
they can help them. The
ADHD Handbook draws on
the most up-to-date
research from around the
world to present a
comprehensive look at
ADHD, covering:, how it
is diagnosed, common
myths surrounding what
causes it, the brain
anatomy implicated in the
disorder, the conditions
that can commonly occur
in conjunction with ADHD,
the pros and cons of
various types of
medication, the most
effective alternative
therapies and
psychotherapies, and,
the best parenting
techniques. In addition,
there are chapters
looking at the experience
of ADHD from the
sufferer's point of view,
as well as the facts and
myths surrounding ADHD in
adults. This is the
essential reference that
every parent needs to
help navigate their way
successfully through the
challenges posed by a
child with ADHD.

Alexander and registered
dental hygienist Linda
Straub-Bruce detail how
to use 41 safe and
effective herbs for the
mouth for optimum oral

More than 50 muscles make
up the structure of the
human face and to a large
degree these muscles
determine facial
appearance. The muscles
of the face can be
exercised and toned just
like skeletal muscles.
With this new programme a
marked difference in
appearance will be
developed and will
potentially eliminate the
common desire and need
for invasive plastic
surgery. Too much sun,
cigarette smoking, the
degradation of collagen
layers and poor skin
create sagging facial
muscles. Facial
gymnastics in this
programme on a regular
basis will reverse a
variety of concerns such
as 'empty' looking
cheekbones, floppy
jowls, relaxed eyelids,
uncomely wrinkles and too
much unwelcome
elasticity. Catherine Pez
prescribes a 'facial gym'
at home to exercise the
muscles in the face with
no special equipment -
just some diligence and
discipline. The smile
works more than twenty
five muscles on the face
- so smiling is an
important first step. The
small and important
Risorius muscle is in the
corner of the mouth and
if well stimulated, will
correct a drooping mouth.
This muscle also
stimulates the other
mid-face muscles thereby
inflating the cheeks and
nothing is more fresh and
young-looking as
well-accentuated
cheekbones. The book has
three easily identifiable
sections with the 30
exercises that address
common signs of facial
ageing: Lower Face;
Middle of the face; The
top or 'high' part of the
face. Each exercise has
clear instructions, with
photographs that
demonstrate the
movements, so performing
each exercise is easy and
straightforward.

This book is for any
person who wishes to have
clearer functioning of
his or her mind and not
to be bogged down with
useless thinking. Within
three weeks the result
will be more control over
thoughts, better
concentration, more
energy, more joy,
happiness and
appreciation for life.
This is a simple and
straightforward self-help
book approached from two
different and yet related
perspectives. The first
is about correcting
breathing volume using a
physician-developed
programme known as the
Buteyko Breathing Method.
Chronic overbreathing is
a habit present with any
person who experiences
stress, anxiety, panic
attacks and depression.
It causes both a
constriction of blood
vessels and reduced
delivery of oxygen to
tissues and organs, most
notably the brain. The
Buteyko Method is a
simple approach that
significantly improves
oxygenation of the brain,
resulting in far less
brain cell excitability.
The second aspect deals
with recognising the
activity of the mind,
the nature of thought and
how to step out of
thought. This too is
essential to
understanding your mind
and taking control. The
mind is regarded as the
most important capability
of the human species.
Yet, most people have
little control over it as
it races from thought to
thought. Mind activity,
stress, depression and
anxiety are nothing more
than the absence of
control. How much control
do you have over your
mind? For how long can
you choose to stop
thinking? A quiet mind is
one that you have control
over. Quite simply, you
can choose to think or
not to think. You don't
get lost in trains of
useless thinking. Most of
the time, you know what
is taking place. Without
control over our minds,
we have nothing. It is
the one part of us that
determines our quality of
life on earth, yet it
receives little attention
from our educational,
religious and medical
institutions. How insane
is that? If only you had
a chance to look inside
people's minds, you
would see the same
turmoil that goes on in
your own head. Hidden
behind the nice white
smile is fear of the
future and regrets from
the past. A racing and
repetitive mind is just
below the surface. It
might not have reached
the depths that someone
in depression has
reached, but at the same
time, you will see
common traits. In fact,
all of us are just a few
stressful events away
from mental problems.
Cumulative stressful
events take their toll on
everybody unless, of
course, we have some
understanding of thought
processes and can better
oxygenate our brain. In
our sophisticated Western
world with its emphasis
on intelligence and the
stigma on mental
problems, normal healthy
people who go through
periods of being down or
depressed have few
outlets through which to
seek help. Addressing
this deficit early on is
the key to reversing
it.My interest in this
area stems from having
both asthma and a racing
mind for many years. By
using the Buteyko Method
to reverse my asthma and
by improving my
awareness, I also
addressed my racing mind.
Thousands have attended
my courses in Ireland and
abroad for asthma and
other conditions. Those
who have attended for
panic attacks,
depression, stress and
anxiety have reported
very good feedback;
hence, this book. This
book can be read by
someone with poor
concentration, or a
clouded and depressed
mind. It contains nothing
complicated and through
constant repetition, the
reader can apply the
guidance provided here to
his or her own life. The
result is lightness and a
major lift in mood.

In this practical yet
scientific guide,
leading researcher in
cancer, heart disease,
and diabetes prevention
Kedar N. Prasad, Ph.D.,
reveals the latest
revolutionary discoveries
on the use of
antioxidants and
micronutrients to treat
diabetes. He details how
the proper combinations
of vitamin and
antioxidant supplements
can greatly increase the
effectiveness of standard
medical treatments to
halt and even reverse the
progression of both type
I and type II diabetes
and prevent onset in
those who are diagnosed
as prediabetic. Prasad
shows how chronic
inflammation, oxidative
stress, and free radical
damage are the chief
culprits for the
progression of diabetes
and its complications and
that merely changing your
diet and activity level
and regulating blood
glucose levels cannot
fully counteract this
unhealthy internal state.
He provides an
easy-to-follow daily
supplement regime for
both diabetics and
prediabetics in multiple
age groups to target free
radical damage and cell
injury and stop the
progression of diabetes
complications. Reviewing
much of the scientific
research on diabetes
treatment, he debunks
the flawed conclusions of
the medical community
that vitamins and
antioxidants are
ineffective, revealing
how the studies focused
on specific
micronutrients rather
than synergistic
combinations. Offering
the missing complement to
the standard care of
diet, exercise, and
lifestyle changes
promoted by mainstream
medicine, this guide
provides a truly holistic
approach to diabetes
prevention, treatment,
and care.

Dementia is a little
understood and currently
incurable illness, but
much can be done to
maximise the quality of
life for people with the
condition. Contented
Dementia - by clinical
psychologist and
bestselling author Oliver
James - outlines a
groundbreaking and
practical method for
managing dementia that
will allow both sufferer
and carer to maintain the
highest possible quality
of life, throughout
every stage of the
illness. A person with
dementia will experience
random and increasingly
frequent memory blanks
relating to recent
events. Feelings,
however, remain intact,
as do memories of past
events and both can be
used in a special way to
substitute for more
recent information that
has been lost. The SPECAL
method (Specialized Early
Care for Alzheimer's)
outlined in this book
works by creating links
between past memories and
the routine activities of
daily life in the
present. Drawing on
real-life examples and
user-friendly
tried-and-tested methods,
Contented
Dementia provides
essential information and
guidance for carers,
relatives and
professionals.
