Heartburn: Extinguishing the Fire Inside

Author: M Michael Wolf

Help is here—now and in the long term—for heartburn sufferers. This is the firstbook for general readers about treating and preventing one of America's most widespread medical problems. Much of the advice in Heartburn comes from the frontiers of medicine. It dispels myths about heartburn, calms fears, and points sufferers toward correct diagnosis and therapies. If you're a sufferer you should know: how and why acid reflux disease (heartburn) has come to be known as "The Great Masquerader"; what is the best medication for you; how antacids can help you and how they can sometimes harm you; why you may be taking the wrong dosage of your present medication or taking it at the wrong time; how to tell if your asthma, hoarseness, or chest pain is related to reflux disease; how lifestyle changes can help your condition; how a recently developed breakthrough drugtaken once a daycan virtually eliminate symptoms in less than two months. As Dr. Wolfe says in his introduction, "After you have read this book, you should be provided with the information to relieve or even cure" your condition. Originally published in cloth under the title The Fire Inside. For this paperback edition, the authors have updated the text throughout and added a new preface.

Your Personal Vitamin Profile or The Baby Cookbook

Your Personal Vitamin Profile: A Medical Scientist Shows You How to Chart Your Individual Vitamin and Mineral Formula

Author: Michael Colgan

In Your Personal Vitamin Profile, medical scientist Dr. Michael Colgan shows how individually tailored programs of vitamin and mineral supplements lead to better health and longer I i fe.

According to Dr. Colgan, no two people have the same nutritional needs. Consequently, an "all-purpose" one-a-day vitamin pill cannot guarantee optimum nutritional supplementation in any diet. And there are factors beyond diet that must be considered. For instance, a man who smokes twenty cigarettes a day may require as much as fifteen times the Recommended Daily Allowance of vitamin C to maintain efficient functioning of the immune system. A woman who takes birth control pills may require ten times the RDA of vitamin B12 to maintain normal functioning of the cardiovascular system.

Dr. Colgan's Health and Performance Nutrient Supplement Program — a vitamin and mineral plan geared to the individual — has been successful in reducing the incidence of herpes, eczema, high blood pressure, and migraine headaches. The program has also proven successful in diminishing the pain of muscle and joint injuries, and in alleviating depression. Moreover, Dr. Colgan's individually oriented supplement program has — in a double-blind study — helped athletes improve marathon times by an average of seventeen minutes.

Now Dr. Colgan offers his revolutionary program in this book. By following the simple formulas and tests set forth in these pages, you can at last determine your personal vitamin profile.

The Baby Cookbook: Tasty And Nutritious Meals For The Whole Family That Babies And Toddlers Will Also Love, Vol. 1

Author: Jeannie Lumley

Newly revised for the 1990s, The Baby Cookbook is the final word on infant nutrition. In addition to hundreds of wonderful recipes, it includes vital new information on vitamin requirements, allergies, childhood obesity, nursing, introducing solids, and balancing meals. It also features all the facts on the health benefits and risks of milk, eggs, salt, fluoride, and complete and incomplete proteins.

The Baby Cookbook also includes the author's personal journal of experiences feeding and raising her own baby. Knight's journal takes some of the fear out of raising a baby by showing parents what to expect (and beware of) in feeding their own infants and toddlers.

And, of course, there are the recipes. All of the more than 250 recipesnearly 100 of them new for this edition -- have been designed to be low in sodium, contain almost no sugar, and generally encourage good eating habits.

Best of all, most of the meals in this book can be shared by the whole family. There's Chicken Fricassee, Seafood Chowder, Cheese Enchiladas, Baked Potatoes with Salmon Sauce, Barbecued Ribs, and much, much more, including Homemade Apple Pie. We are not talking strained peas.

The Baby Cookbook is a complete guide to cooking for your family -- from ovens and stove tops to microwaves and crockpots. Finally, it's possible for working parents to prepare quick and easy meals for their children without sacrificing taste, variety, or nutrition.

Library Journal

This revised edition (Morrow, 1985) includes a discussion of nutrition and nutrient requirements, and provides information on feeding children, nursing, introducing solids, childhood obesity, and food allergies. It also contains Knight's personal journal of her daughter's food experiences during infancy and toddlerhood. Knight, who is a registered pediatric nurse, states in the preface that her aim is to ``provide a complete feeding guide in the context of family life.'' The second part of the book contains 200 healthy ``family recipes,'' which a baby of 12 months or older can share with family members. The recipes are low in sodium, contain almost no sugar, and emphasize complex carbohydrates. Microwave cookery is included as are menus. More of a cookbook than Louise Lambert-Lagace's equally useful Feeding Your Baby: From Conception to Two Years ( LJ 9/1/91), Knight's book is recommended for public libraries.-- Angela Washington-Blair, Brookhaven Coll.
