11:06-11:45 Frankie speaks with Dr. Joseph Maroon, the author of the new book “The Longevity Factor: How Resveratrol and Red Wine Activate Genes for a Longer and Healthier Life.”

A groundbreaking examination of new scientific research that holds the secret to weight loss, increased strength, endurance, memory, and a healthier, longer life. In The Longevity Factor, noted neuroscientist and surgeon Joseph Maroon, M.D., offers the definitive look at recent scientific breakthroughs identifying a group of natural substances -- including the much-publicized molecule resveratrol -- that can actually activate a specific set of genes in humans that promote a longer, healthier life. These substances, which make red wine, dark chocolate, and green tea good for us, appear to stave off a wide array of age-related diseases and keep us feeling young and vital.

Straightforward language, real-life examples, photographs and illustrations guide you. Individual chapters focus on how anesthesia is used in plastic and cosmetic surgery, labor, and for dental care. Each chapter ends with an invaluable checklist, called prescriptives that highlights key points and provides space to take notes when you talk with your surgeon or anesthesia provider. The checklists help you ask questions relevant to your case and ensure that you receive and remember the answers.

From the get-go, Lynda Resnick transformed POM by insisting to her husband and their management team that they had to create a unique container, name and marketing campaign for this drink which at the time only 1 in 10 Americans even knew what pomegranates were. By throwing out all the traditional marketing ideas Resnick created a new category of juice. The result: POM is now ubiquitous, and a huge money making business.  In her new book, RUBIES IN THE ORCHARD: How to Uncover the Hidden Gems in Your Business Broadway; February 17, 2009; $24.95) Resnick divulges her secrets for creating some of the world’s most memorable and iconic brands, and the bull’s-eye strategies to sell them!

Frankie’s Guest Line-Up for Thursday 2/26/09

Health Show 11:00-12:00

11:00-11:20 Frankie speaks with Gillian McKeith author of “Food Bible: How to Use Food to Cure What Ails You.” Gillian McKeith’s Food Bible is as user-friendly as it is thorough, featuring food based treatments for common illnesses and diseases, from arthritis to diabetes and chronic fatigue syndrome to migraines. For example: Almonds can assist in weight loss, Wild yams help promote fertility, Berries, spinach, romaine lettuce and broccoli combat dry skin by stimulating oil and collagen production, Tomatoes contain an antioxidant that can help prevent cancer.

He discusses cognitive fitness, care giving, grief, and changes in living arrangements. Two particularly helpful chapters deal with what to do when the late-life goals of spouses differ and how to repartner after death or divorce. Both books offer excellent information and would make a positive contribution to any public library's collection.

 

Lifestyle Show 12:00-1:00

12:04-12:20 Frankie welcomes William Lobdell author of “Losing My Religion: How I Lost My Faith Reporting on Religion in America-and Found Unexpected Peace.” William Lobdell's journey of faith—and doubt—may be the most compelling spiritual memoir of our time. Lobdell became a born-again Christian in his late 20s when personal problems—including a failed marriage—drove him to his knees in prayer. As a newly minted evangelical, Lobdell—a veteran journalist—noticed that religion wasn't covered well in the mainstream media, and he prayed for the Lord to put him on the religion beat at a major newspaper. In 1998, his prayers were answered when the Los Angeles Times asked him to write about faith.  Yet what happened over the next eight years was a roller-coaster of inspiration, confusion, doubt, and soul-searching as his reporting and experiences slowly chipped away at his faith.  Losing My Religion is a book about life's deepest questions that speaks to everyone! 

12:20-12:40 Frankie speaks with special guest Kelly Corrigan author of “The Middle Place.” Newspaper columnist Corrigan was a happily married mother of two young daughters when she discovered a cancerous lump in her breast. She was still undergoing treatment when she learned that her beloved father, who'd already survived prostate cancer, now had bladder cancer. Corrigan's story could have been unbearably depressing had she not made it clear from the start that she came from sturdy stock. Growing up, she loved hearing her father boom out his morning HELLO WORLD dialogue with the universe, so his kids would feel like the world wasn't just a safe place but was even rooting for you. As Corrigan reports on her cancer treatment she weaves in the story of how it felt growing up in a big, suburban Philadelphia family. She tells how she met her husband, how she gave birth to her daughters. All these stories lead up to where she is now, in that middle place, being someone's child, but also having children of her own.

Charlotte Gerson and Howard Stauss

are back to talk about the Gerson Way

the work of the late Dr. Max Gerson.

 

11:00-12:00 Frankie welcomes back Charlotte Gerson and Howard Stauss, today they will be discussing with us the work of the late Dr. Max Gerson “The Gerson Way” and Charolette Gerson’s book “Healing the Gerson Way.” Healing the Gerson Way: Defeating Cancer and Other Chronic Diseases is a complete guide to the theory and practice of the Gerson Therapy, developed over 80 years ago by Dr. Max Gerson, MD (1881-1959), it shows that the increasingly denatured, nutritionally empty, toxic modern diet is the main cause of today's worsening health crisis. This book offers the solution in the form of a brilliant, precision-built nutritional program that eliminates the underlying causes of disease, leading to lasting cures. This program is best known for its success in curing many types of cancer, but it also has an excellent track record with a large number of other degenerative conditions.

Throughout our lives our bodies are being filled with a variety of disease and cancer causing pollutants. These toxins reach us through the air we breathe, the food we eat, the medicines we take and the water we drink. As more of these poisons are used every day and cancer rates continue to climb, being able to turn to a proven, natural, detoxifying treatment like the Gerson Therapy is not only reassuring, but necessary.   www.gerson.org

11:20-11:30 Frankie welcomes Cicely Tyson and Dr. Rani Whitfield aka “Tha Hip Hop Doc” to talk about the American Stroke Association’s "Power to End Stroke” campaign. Black History Month is an important time to reflect on our accomplishments and the struggles we still face.  Screen legend Cicely Tyson, who starred in such epics as Roots and The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman, is taking on one challenge with her commitment to highlight the disproportionate effect of stroke on the black community and how we can’t let the state of our health hinder our accomplishments.

 Stroke is the third leading cause of death and a leading cause of disability for all Americans.  But African Americans are at increased risk due to factors such as family history, high rates of diabetes and high blood pressure.  The evidence is clear: blacks have higher death rates from stroke and have almost twice the risk of first-ever strokes compared to whites.  The impact of stroke is profound. It not only affects the person afflicted, but their families, and our nation. Stroke is not inevitable. By knowing the warning signs, and getting prompt medical attention, rehabilitation and survival is possible – even probable.   For more information go to: www.powertoendstroke.org
