Dr. Atkins' New Diet Revolution : Revised and Updated (Paperback).
Robert C. Atkins. Perennial Currents (June 1, 1998). Designed to catapult
your body into a state of fat meltdown, Dr. Atkins's diet has taken America
by storm. It targets insulin, the hormone that regulates blood sugar levels.
The bodies of most overeaters are continually in a state of hyperinsulinism;
their bodies are so adept at releasing insulin to help convert excess
carbohydrates to fat that there's always too much of the hormone circulating
through the body. This puts the body into a bind; it always wants to store
fat. Even when people with hyperinsulinism try to lose weight--especially
when they cut fat but increase carbohydrate consumption--their efforts
will fail. This is why Dr. Atkins refers to insulin as "the fat-producing
hormone."
Dr. Atkins's diet is
extremely low in carbohydrates, which helps to regulate insulin production
and decrease circulating insulin; less insulin soon results in less fat
storage and fewer food cravings.

'It Will Never Happen to Me!' Children of Alcoholics: As Youngsters -
Adolescents - Adults (Paperback). Claudia Black. Ballantine
Books; Reissue edition (September 12, 1987). One
of the gifts of what we have come to learn about people raised in chemically
dependent families is that it has offered extremely useful information
for people raised in other types of troubled families as well. Whether
or not you were raised in an addictive family system, It Will Never Happen
To Me may very well offer a framework to understand your situation. We
have long recognized that people raised with physical and sexual abuse
strongly identify as if they were raised with addiction. People raised
with mental illness, ranging from schizophrenia to depression, to raging
parents, frequently identify with adult child issues. People raised with
parents affected by chronic health issues, physical challenges, as well
as those raised by an adult child (an adult child who may not manifest
an addiction, but the thinking and behavior is often characteristic of
an addict) may also identify. The connecting thread between these different
types of families is experiencing chronic loss that fuels emotional isolation,
rigidity, or shame.

My Dad Loves Me, My Dad Has a Disease: A Child's View: Living with Addiction
(Paperback). Claudia Black. Mac Publishing; 3rd Rev edition (September
1997). The basic
premise of this book is that chemical dependency is a disease —
the alcoholic/addict is a sick person not a bad person. This disease affects
not only the addicted person but those who love that person as well. This
is a book that will help the "others" affected by chemical dependency
to become well.
My Dad Loves Me My
Dad Has A Disease was originally written as a result of Claudia Black’s
work with young people who had a parent in treatment for their alcoholism.
These children were learning at a very young age that it was not safe
for them to openly talk about their family experiences. Art therapy was
a wonderful medium for them to find the words and a voice in which to
talk honestly. It was also a wonderful tool in which to not only share
feelings but to problem solve, lessen denial, and to put words to that
which was so confusing.
Although this self-help
workbook was designed for and the illustrations created by young children,
it may also hold insights for the now adult age person raised in an addictive
home.Order

HCI; Revised edition (April 1, 1990). Bradshaw (Family Secrets,
LJ 1/95), a well-known speaker and author on such topics as addiction,
recovery, and spirituality, has released a revised version of John Bradshaw:
On Family, which first accompanied his 1984 television series. In this
edition, he speaks out on the need for democracy within the family, as
opposed to a patriarchal model of family relations. Throughout, Bradshaw
refers to earlier models of child rearing as "poisonous pedagogy,"
and he is deeply committed to changing parenting within today's families
and helping adults damaged by the parenting they received to rebuild their
self-esteem. He uses many of the techniques of Adult Children of Alcoholics
and similar groups in helping the reader identify problems and repair

TAO OF PHYSICS-3 ED. (Paperback). Fritjof Capra. Shambhala; Revised edition (August 13, 1991). First published in 1975, The Tao of Physics rode the wave of fascination in exotic East Asian philosophies. Decades later, it still stands up to scrutiny, explicating not only Eastern philosophies but also how modern physics forces us into conceptions that have remarkable parallels. Covering over 3,000 years of widely divergent traditions across Asia, Capra can't help but blur lines in his generalizations. But the big picture is enough to see the value in them of experiential knowledge, the limits of objectivity, the absence of foundational matter, the interrelation of all things and events, and the fact that process is primary, not things. Capra finds the same notions in modern physics. Those approaching Eastern thought from a background of Western science will find reliable introductions here to Hinduism, Buddhism, and Taoism and learn how commonalities among these systems of thought can offer a sort of philosophical underpinning for modern science. And those approaching modern physics from a background in Eastern mysticism will find precise yet comprehensible descriptions of a Western science that may reinvigorate a hope in the positive potential of scientific knowledge. Whatever your background, The Tao of Physics is a brilliant essay on the meeting of East and West, and on the invaluable possibilities that such a union promises.

Potatoes Not Prozac: A Natural Seven-Step Dietary Plan to Stabilize the
Level of Sugar in Your Blood, Control Your Cravings and Lose Weight, and
Recognize How Foods Affect the Way You Feel (Paperback). Kathleen
DesMaisons. Simon & Schuster (January 12, 1999).
The same brain chemicals that are altered by antidepressant drugs are
also affected by the foods we eat. According to addiction expert DesMaisons,
many people, including those who are depressed, are "sugar sensitive."
Eating sweets gives them a temporary emotional boost, which leads to a
craving for still more sweets. The best way to keep these brain chemicals
in the right balance and keep blood-sugar levels steady, she says, is
through the dietary plan she describes in Potatoes Not Prozac.
Her rules are fairly simple--eat three meals a day, eat proteins with
every meal (especially those high in the amino acid tryptophan, which
creates the calming neurotransmitter serotonin), and eat more complex
carbohydrates, such as whole grains and, yes, potatoes. Not only will
this make you less depressed, DesMaisons says, but it will also keep you
from craving too much of the foods you shouldn't eat, making
it a self-regulating system.

The Fantasy
Bond: Structure of Psychological Defenses (Paperback). Robert
W. Firestone. Glendon Publishing (December 1987). Based on 28 years of
research into the problem of resistance, this [self-help] book offers
a consistently developed set of hypotheses centering around the concept
of the "Fantasy Bond," an illusion of connection originally
formed with the mother and later with significant other in the individual's
environment. The book develops the concept of the core defense or "Fantasy
Bond" and describes the structure and organization of the overall
defensive process. The ideas set forth in this work constitute an important
link between neo-psychoanalytic thought and existential views, especially
those relating to individual and collective defenses against death anxiety.
The work outlines a systematic multidimensional approach to therapy designed
to deal with each aspect of the patient's defensive life style and maladaptive
behavior: the idealization of parents and family; the critical view of
self-nourishing habits and painkillers; and the bonds or imaginary connections
with mate and children. Particularly notable is the author's description
of an innovative and powerful therapy. Voice Therapy, which effectively
breaks into these bonds by challenging the patient's negative view of
self. Voice Therapy will prove to be an important addiction to the clinician's
repertoire of therapeutic techniques.

these claims and reams of evidence that synthetic estrogens are highly
toxic and carcinogenic." Lee has studied the research and concludes
that estrogen is not the magic bullet for protection against heart disease
and osteoporosis, nor does it retard aging. Natural progesterone, instead,
puts postmenopausal women's hormones in balance, says Lee. He cites study
after study that indicates that natural progesterone, obtained in cream
form, delivers what the usual HRT only promises.
