Download or read book The Angel and the Assassin written by Donna Jackson Nakazawa and published by Ballantine Books. This book was released on 2021-01-19 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A thrilling story of scientific detective work and medical potential that illuminates the newly understood role of microglia—an elusive type of brain cell that is vitally relevant to our everyday lives. “The rarest of books: a combination of page-turning discovery and remarkably readable science journalism.”—Mark Hyman, MD, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Food: What the Heck Should I Eat? NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY WIRED Until recently, microglia were thought to be helpful but rather boring: housekeeper cells in the brain. But a recent groundbreaking discovery has revealed that they connect our physical and mental health in surprising ways. When triggered—and anything that stirs up the immune system in the body can activate microglia, including chronic stressors, trauma, and viral infections—they can contribute to memory problems, anxiety, depression, and Alzheimer’s. Under the right circumstances, however, microglia can be coaxed back into being angelic healers, able to make brain repairs in ways that help alleviate symptoms and hold the promise to one day prevent disease. With the compassion born of her own experience, award-winning journalist Donna Jackson Nakazawa illuminates this newly understood science, following practitioners and patients on the front lines of treatments that help to “reboot” microglia. In at least one case, she witnesses a stunning recovery—and in others, significant relief from pressing symptoms, offering new hope to the tens of millions who suffer from mental, cognitive, and physical health issues. Hailed as a “riveting,” “stunning,” and “visionary,” The Angel and the Assassin offers us a radically reconceived picture of human health and promises to change everything we thought we knew about how to heal ourselves.

In addition to dealing with the lecherous First Husband, Katie and her federal agent partners are soon confronted by a group of Native American militants intent on blowing up a nuclear reactor.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What if a drug was discovered that could slow down and possibly even reverse the signs of aging in humans? What if people could suddenly look and feel young, vital and healthy into their nineties and beyond? What level of side-effects would be acceptable to reap the benefits of such a drug? Fountain of Youth is an exciting medical/detective thriller that poses these questions. After a beautiful, but emotionally scarred, scientist is appointed the head of Research and Development for a New Jersey pharmaceutical company, a miracle drug is discovered. While Dr. Susan Timmons and her team work enthusiastically to develop the new drug, the government is concerned about the financial consequences of such a drug to Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. A clandestine mission to slow down the development of the drug is authorized by the President. In the meantime the public is clamoring for access to the miracle treatment. One employee of Fountain Pharmaceuticals decides she cannot wait for the drug to go through the lengthy process of FDA approval. She finds a way to get a supply of the drug for a personal use, despite some worrisome side-effects that have appeared in the animal safety studies. When Dr. Timmons is found dead in her car in the company parking lot, police at first believe she is the latest victim of a serial killer they have been hunting for years. Upon further investigation, Homicide Detective Jake Daniels realizes that the evidence indicates that Dr. Timmons’ murderer is not their serial killer at all. While investigating the apparent copycat murder, Daniels is drawn to Dr. Timmons’ young research assistant. As Daniels falls for the beautiful Katie Foxworth, he discovers that she is a link to the killer he’d been tracking for so long.

Download or read book Brothers and Sisters in Adoption written by Arleta James and published by Jessica Kingsley Publishers. This book was released on 2012-02-15 with total page 542 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What about the kids already there? How do they do when a child with a challenging past joins a family by adoption? When experienced parents decide to adopt an older child or a sibling group, they jump through all kinds of bureaucratic hoops â?? background checks, interviews, group meetings, reading assignments, classes, etc. But most often the typically developing children these adults are already parenting (whether through birth or adoption) are left out of the process, informed that a new kid is coming, and simply expected to â??adjustâ?? to the addition of another sibling. The addition of a child with a history of neglect or trauma cannot be a seamless transition. The expectations of everyone involved â?? parents, new siblings, and, yes, professionals facilitating the adoption â?? must be realistic, taking into account that the new child will need special attention that may take away time and attention from the already resident kids, that family life is likely to be turned topsy turvy until appropriate counseling and support are in place, that relationships will change. Therapist Arleta James is certainly not the first person to recognize this, but she is the first to do something about it. Brothers and Sisters in Adoption offers insights and examples and sturdy, practical, proven tools for helping newly configured families prepare, accept, react, and mobilize to become a new and different family meeting the practical, physical and emotional needs of all its members. These well prepared and supported families are the ones who thrive!
