He is chairman and CEO of Beyond Health Corp., a supplier of highly advanced health education and world-class, health-supporting products to the public. He is the publisher of Beyond Health News, author of the Pathways to Health newspaper columns, and host and producer of the radio talk show An Ounce of Prevention. He is the author of three fabulous books, in Never Be Sick Again, Francis presents a seminal work based on these findings - a revolutionary theory of health and disease: there is only one disease (malfunctioning cells), only two causes of disease (deficiency and toxicity), and six pathways to health and disease (nutrition, toxins, psychological, physical, genetic, and medical). In his second book, Never Fear Cancer Again, readers will gain a revolutionary new understanding of health and disease and will come to understand that cancer is a biological process that can be turned on and off, not something that can be surgically removed or destroyed with radiation or toxic chemicals. So whether cancer has already been diagnosed or if prevention is the concern, it is possible to turn off the wayward production of these malfunctioning cells once and for all by reading this book and implementing its strategies. In his book Never Be Fat Again, Raymond Francis can help you turn this fat cycle around and reclaim your waistline--and your health. His simple yet scientifically supported plan will have you looking and feeling better than you have in years-- in just six weeks.

Today I will have an interview with Peter Moore, the Editor of Men's Health magazine about a story featured in this month’s issue. As you may know, Men's Health is the most widely read men's magazine in the world with a worldwide circulation of nearly 4 million in 28 editions serving 36 countries. The story is called...“THE MONEY HABITS THAT HOLD YOU BACK”...and it begins on page 100 of the latest issue of MEN’S HEALTH magazine. And here’s why the story is important: Building wealth is NEVER simply about making the numbers work......just as health is never merely an exercise in calorie counting, and love is never a simple mix of pheromones. The truth is that a dollar, like a woman (or a cheeseburger)......can really mess with your head. So do you have any money habits......that is really holding you back? Here are their tips from this story......that will help you (and your listeners) figure it out for yourselves: MONEY-HABIT TIP #1: STOP LOOKING FOR SCAPEGOATS- Yep, the “Great Recession” took its toll on everyone......but now it's time to STOP playing that card. It's also time to STOP blaming the shady lenders, Wall Street titans, and government agencies......that may or may not be standing in your way. Somewhere in your own financial past, you signed on some dotted lines.......and it’s time to stop blaming what you did on others, and time to take an honest inventory of your role in it all. And here’s why this is important: Unless you admit that your current situation has something to do with you......you're probably doomed to repeat the same mistakes all over again. Stay tuned for more tips! www.menshealth.com

A lesson from the baseball field: In baseball, players with the highest batting average strike out more times than they get on base or hit homeruns. Their athletic mindset knows it's okay to get back up to bat no matter what the outcome may be! In his 24 year career in Major League Baseball back in the 1920's, Ty Cobb still holds the highest batting average of all time. He got on base ONLY 3.5 times out of 10, or in statistical terms, had a .366 batting average. He struck out 6.5 times out of 10, yet he is known as a legend! The athletic mindset says, ''Be like a batter!'' If you have an idea, share it whether you think they'll like it or not. And if you do strike out, just brush yourself off, and get up to bat again, and just keep on swinging! Become a legend in whatever you want to accomplish. www.theathleticmindset.com

There is no despair in a seed. There's only life, waiting for the right conditions-sun and water, warmth and soil-to be set free. Everyday, millions upon millions of seeds lift their two green wings. At no time in our history have Americans been more obsessed with food. Options- including those for local, sustainable, and organic food-seem limitless. And yet, our food supply is profoundly at risk. Farmers and gardeners a century ago had five times the possibilities of what to plant than farmers and gardeners do today; we are losing untold numbers of plant varieties to genetically modified industrial monocultures. In her latest work of literary nonfiction, award-winning author and activist Janisse Ray argues that if we are to secure the future of food, we first must understand where it all begins: the seed. The Seed Underground is a journey to the frontier of seed-saving. It is driven by stories, both the author's own and those from people who are waging a lush and quiet revolution in thousands of gardens across America to preserve our traditional cornucopia of food by simply growing old varieties and eating them. The Seed Underground pays tribute to time-honored and threatened varieties, deconstructs the politics and genetics of seeds, and reveals the astonishing characters who grow, study, and save them.

Studies show that olive oil protects against many inflammatory responses. That's why Beyond Health now brings you its own extra virgin, cold-pressed olive oil.This olive oil is produced for us by a small family farm in the Central Valley of California. The olives are grown without pesticides, and are hand-picked, carefully washed and dried, and milled with a stone wheel within 24 hours of harvesting. The paste is then pressed in a hydraulic press, and the oil collected in stainless steel vats, decanted and bottled. This first cold pressed oil is the genuine stuff, retaining all its nutrients, natural flavor and goodness! Now you can get $10 off this week only!

Michael J. Herman is a recognized authority on Inspiration, Motivation, Humor, and Leadership. He's a globally syndicated columnist and author of over 1000 articles on these topics.

Each Motivational Minute in the book presents an inspirational or informative tale about the road to success. You will be inspired and often amused by the stories told. The author reminds us that "within all men and women beats the heart of the competitor...Most individuals are not able to touch the powerful part of their being. It is at first a very small, nearly imperceptible place within us. Until it sees the sunlight and is given water and attention, it stays hidden. Then it either grows like moss, or it withers on the vine and dies." Nurture your inner strength and wisdom by reading Becoming the Complete Champion. www.michaeljherman.com

Sleeping With the Beast is not just another pretty book filled with pictures of dogs and owners romping in the fields. It is about a New England family that just happens to be comprised of a couple with twosons… five dogs—all cohabitating in one large farmhouse. In Sleeping With the Beast, Dale Ryan invites us into her home for a close-up view of what it’s like to live with dogs—from cooking to decorating to gardening to literallysleeping with the beast.Sleeping With the Beast is a rather intimate book about dogs and their human partners. Furthermore, the book touches on legal, moral, and philosophical issues that confront our diversified families. The author also describeshow dogs should be regarded not as 21st century accessories but should be respected for their multi-dimensional character. The term “beast” is used here in the most affectionate way. While the dictionary describes a beast asan animal other than a human, in a sense we are all beasts, whether two or four-legged. Humans have been domesticated and dogs have been as well, but rules are often broken. Gorgeously illustrated with four-colorphotographs of Dale and her family—especially the dogs.

I will have an interview with PREVENTION magazine Senior Editor Siobhan O'Connor to talk about a story featured in this months issue. The Olympics are here... ...and as we report in a recent story at PREVENTION.com, being a sports fan and watching the Olympics can: Inspire you to get active! Help you burn calories...just by watching!! Even help you reduce stress...which can have a huge impact on overall health!!! As they report at www.PREVENTION.com ... ...watching sporting events like the Olympics can have unexpectedly positive perks for your health. And in this interview with an editor from PREVENTION.com... ...we can talk about Olympic-watching health tips like these: OLYMPIC-WATCHING TIP #1: TURN WATCHING INTO A WORKOUT Okay, so watching all those elite athletes do what they do may not be the same as hitting the treadmill for yourself... ...but the truth is, it CAN HELP YOU TORCH SOME CALORIES without even trying. That’s because the average 150-pound woman burns more than 100 calories per hour cheering at a LIVE sporting event... ...and just by cheering while watching OLYMPIC EVENTS ON TV FROM YOUR LIVING ROOM COUCH or perched on a stool at a bar, you can still burn about 70 or more calories per hour.

Dr. David Knighton has some remarkable insights about wounds and our ability to heal ourselves. “We've all been wounded,” he writes. “But, paradoxically, wounding is probably our greatest stimulus for health. As we heal, we grow.” A leading expert on wound healing, Dr. Knighton delves even deeper into the mystery of human nature with his new book The Wisdom of the Healing Wound: A New View on Why We Hurt and How We Can Cure Even the Deepest Physical and Emotional Wounds. (Health Communications, Inc.) “The goal in working with wounds of any kind — from the physical to the emotional to the spiritual — is to restore structure and function,” Dr. Knighton says. “That is the healer’s role. Ultimately, The Wisdom of the Healing Wound is about being human — about living fully as body, mind, and spirit. More importantly, it is about the powerful, transformative, and often surprising ways we can heal and thrive in the face of our wounds.”

In 1989 when a personal bankruptcy robbed Lindsay Frucci's family of financial security, she decided the way back to marital and family bliss was to start a business that would make gobs of money. Out of the mantra "there must be something I can do" and a passion for fat-laden, fudgy brownies that made it hard to zip her jeans, an idea was born: healthy brownies for the masses. In a leap of faith borne on the wings of innocence and naivete, she founded No Pudge! Foods, Inc., and began an unexpected whopper of a roller coaster ride. In The Pig & Me you'll learn about a different kind of entrepreneur. One without money, experience or a college education. With a husband who traveled for work, this entrepreneur was a forty-five year old, part-time single-mom, living in a 200-year old farmhouse in the middle of nowhere, trying to grow a business in a male-dominated industry. You'll learn how she substituted creativity and stubborn determination for a large bankroll and turned a recipe into a multi-million dollar business. http://lindsayfrucci.com

For a nation that wants to put family ahead of all other life priorities, how much time do we actually spend with our loved ones versus the time we put in at the office? The United States is the only industrialized nation that does not give its workers mandatory time off from work, according to labor stats from the 40 wealthiest countries. “It is my job as a natural disaster expert to travel throughout the country and be on-site, and I can thank my children for being a better worker and, ultimately, a better person,” says relief specialist Bruce Smith, author of “For What It’s Worth, Love Dad…Things I always meant to tell you, if only we’d had the time” (www.forwhatitsworthlovedad.blogspot.com ). “Many parents confuse a nice house with a good home. We’re all working long hours, hell-bent on being good providers we lose sight of the real goal…to be good parents. Our children learn from us (for good or ill) and we only have a very short time to teach them life’s most important lessons, among which is the importance of family.”

In her early thirties, Kasey Mathews had it all: a loving husband, a beautiful two-year-old son, and a second baby on the way. But what seemed a perfect life was shattered when she went into labor four months early, delivering her one-pound, eleven-ounce daughter, Andie. The first time Kasey was wheeled into the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), nothing prepared her for what she saw: a tiny, fragile baby in a tangle of tubes and wires. All at once, Kasey was confronted with a new and terrifying reality that would test the limits of love, family, and motherhood. In this riveting, honest, and often humorous memoir, Preemie chronicles the journey of one tiny baby’s tenacious struggle to hold on to life and the mother who ultimately grew with her. From hospital waiting rooms to the offices of alternative practitioners, from ski slopes to Symphony Hall, Kasey tries to make meaning of her daughter’s birth and eventually comes to learn that gifts come in all sizes and all forms, and sometimes... right on time.

The Nina Cucina concept began when Nina Pucillo, Founder, created healthy gourmet lifestyle eating for her husband because of a need to lose weight and improve his health. Nina has always created healthy gourmet meals for her family and friends but considered herself a conventional gourmet/foodie. Along the way, she educated herself about the food growing and manufacturing processes along with quality and began to slowly alter her recipes to use clean, organic, gluten free ingredients. Through her own food education, Nina was able to take her recipes that contained unhealthy ingredients and turn them into a healthy version that was nutritionally dense but also tasted amazing. Nina's family and friends were her testing audience and fans of her creations. They still are and will continue to be a part of the recipe creation process. www.ninacucina.com/

Taken from fifty summer days in the author’s life, The Business PACT groups short life observations into categories representing the four key processes of successful businesses: Planning, Analysis, Communication, and Teamwork (or PACT). The book provides a broad view of the tools necessary to turn your business, career, and life into a success by just thinking about your daily activities. The recipient of American Business Awards' prestigious Stevie Award in 2010 for Financial Services Executive of the Year, Tony Nuzzo is an entrepreneur and a senior corporate executive. He is the primary organizer, chairman, president and CEO of First Commons Bank. He also started an Internet Bank for Marsh & McLennan as chairman, president and CEO and separately, he has founded his own start-up businesses. www.thebusinesspact.com

Facing this inescapable observation, Judy Gruen set out to lose fifteen pounds in time for a college reunion. But as she discovered, no two diet “experts” agree on anything, even whether lentils are good for people with Type A blood. Originally published as Till We Eat Again: Confessions of a Diet Dropout, this newly revised and updated edition, Till We Eat Again: A Second Helping, remains a classic and hilarious chronicle of one woman's real-life attempt to make sense out of diets named “Bad Carbohydrates and the Women Who Love Them,” and compounds like “Hyper-Meta-Phedra-Bolic,” which may boost metabolism but also might cause cardiac arrest. During her quest for thinness, Judy also belly dances to the “camel,” runs laps while an Army major blows his whistle at a fitness boot camp, and gets tangled in yoga positions so bizarre the paramedics need the “Jaws of Life” to get her out. She also tries to avoid diet despair as medical researchers conclude that even drinking too much water can kill you. After months of these and other indignities, she’ll even earn a little star from Weight Watchers for losing five pounds. This book offers equal measures of comedy and inspiration for anyone who wants to lose five or fifty pounds. “I laughed out loud because this book is so funny and so true. I loved it! Judy’s witty takeaway on diet scams is hysterical, and that detox section

Etique tte for an Apocalypse a post-apocalyptic comedy It’s the 2020 Apocalypse and Sophie Cohen must keep her family alive amid the grueling, sometimes strangely amusing, realities of starvation and violence. In all of this chaos, can she mobilize her community to find a serial killer and take on the sinister emerging power structure? Can she learn to use a pizza box/aluminum foil solar oven and a Glock 9mm? Can she resolve interminable high-drama clashes with her mother, daughter and husband? She might find that life—without her Prius, iPhone and chocolate éclairs—isn’t the end-of-the-world.

I will have an interview with the provocative documentary filmmaker, Kristin Canty. The chilling opening scenes of FARMGEDDON: THE UNSEEN WAR ON AMERICAN FAMILY FARMS that detail these raids have stunned filmgoers into asking: Can this really be happening in America? And how is it, in the worst economic downturn since The Great Depression, untold tax dollars are being spent by state, local and federal governments to shut down small organic farms and arrest farmers in the name of food safety – too often, with firepower disproportionate to the reason for the raid, and fueled by politics. FARMAGEDDON, now available on iTUNES, AMAZON.com, and On Demand Nationwide, attempts to answer the question with a stunning and resounding: “Yes, it is really happening, and you can protest with your spending and voting power.” Filmmaker Kristin Canty was one of those who had no idea what American family farms were facing until she tried to buy raw milk from organic farmers near her home. It was only when she began speaking to these farmers that she learned of the draconian tactics being used to shut them down, even though they had proven themselves more than capable of producing safe, healthy foodCanty’s determination to draw attention to the farmers’ unknown and underpublicized plight resulted in her call-to-action documentary FARMAGEDDON. www.Farmageddonmovie.com/

Par t crusader, part comedian, Jim Murray was a once-in-a-generation literary talent who just happened to ply his trade on newsprint, right near the box scores and race results. During his lifetime, Murray rose through the ranks of journalism, from hard-bitten 1940s crime reporter, to national Hollywood correspondent, to the top sports columnist in the United States. In Last King of the Sports Page: The Life and Career of Jim Murray, Ted Geltner chronicles Jim Murray’s experiences with twentieth-century American sports, culture, and journalism. At the peak of his influence, Murray was published in more than 200 newspapers. From 1961 to 1998, Murray penned more than 10,000 columns from his home base at the Los Angeles Times. His offbeat humor and unique insight made his column a must-read for millions of sports fans. He was named Sportswriter of the Year an astounding fourteen times, and his legacy was cemented when he became one of only four writers to receive the prestigious Pulitzer Prize for coverage of sports. Geltner now gives readers a first look at Murray’s personal archives and dozens of fresh interviews with sports and journalism personalities, including Arnold Palmer, Mario Andretti, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Yogi Berra, Frank Deford, Rick Reilly, Dan Jenkins, Roy Firestone, and many more. www.tedgeltner.com

A 6-year-old girl goes to the movies with her mom and is killed by a gunman intent on death. Even the nation’s grown-ups have had trouble coming to terms with the shocking shootings Friday in Aurora, Colo. Imagine how frightened and baffled our youngest citizens are, says Steven Hill, a counselor with two master ‘s degrees in psychology and author of “The Adventures of Katie Bubbles” (www.MyKatieBubbles.com ), a book series designed to help children ages 8 to 12 understand and adopt good values. “Kids have good moral and intellectual intuitions, but they need guidance – and they need it in a way that respects their intelligence,” Hill says. “I think most children have heard about the Batman movie shootings; it’s nearly impossible to shield them from such news. Rather than avoiding a conversation about it, parents and others concerned about children should talk.” Asking children about their feelings and any fears they may have helps them pull them out to examine in a safe way. Even if children seem to be handling the information well, It’s a good time to talk about our values and their capacity to affect others in profoundly good – or bad – ways.

“You’re not the person I married—you’ve changed!”“I’m not the one who changed, you did!” Throughout his career as a marriage counselor, Dr. Steven Craig has heard those accusations repeated by couples over and over, reflecting a dangerous belief common to many strained relationships—the belief that change should be avoided at all costs. And yet the truth is as striking as it is straightforward: marriages don’t fail when people change; they fail when people don’t change.In The 6 Husbands Every Wife Should Have, Dr. Craig divides the typical marriage into six stages, outlining the common misconceptions and opportunities for growth at each stage. From the earliest stage—becoming the right person for one’s spouse in the new marriage—to thinking and acting as a team and thereafter adjusting to the dynamics of parenthood, caring for older children and elderly parents, adapting to the empty nest, and, finally, growing into the golden years as a dependable companion, 6 Husbands shows how a successful marriage, far from being dependent on finding the right person, actually depends on the husband and wife becoming the right people.

"Raw" food is energizing people around the world. Eating raw no longer means consuming carrot sticks and boring fruit plates—it's a whole new cuisine and lifestyle. Featuring the same fun and passionate style that has made hers one of the most popular raw food blogs, chef Kristen Suzanne takes readers step by step through the raw food lifestyle: equipping the kitchen, grocery shopping, eating out, dealing with setbacks (and family members!), improving digestion, and losing weight, until eating raw becomes second nature. Plus, the book features 50 fabulous recipes—no cooking required!—for treats like sprouted protein bars, lasagna, soups, brownies, and even cheesecake! Accessible, fun, and packed with information not available anywhere else, this volume is a must-have for anyone who truly cares about health and nutrition.

What would you sacrifice to recover your health, to even potentially save your life? In a provocative new feature documentary, THE SACRED SCIENCE, eight brave souls afflicted with illnesses; Parkinson’s disease, breast cancer, diabetes and more, leave everything behind in search of deeper answers to heal themselves in the heart of the Amazon jungle. Five will return with real results, two will return disappointed, and one won't come back at all. THE SACRED SCIENCE will be available on iTunes and DVD on September 18, 2012. “A couple of years ago, a good friend of mine told me he had Parkinson's disease. I started researching natural means to cure him, and what I found is that if you trace the origins of Western pharmaceuticals, over 25% of their active ingredients come from the Amazon Rainforest. I began to wonder, what else is in the Amazon Rainforest, there are over 44,000 plant species,” shares filmmaker Nick Polizzi as his inspiration for making his groundbreaking film. http://www.thesacredscience.com

Dr. Jean Keamy has always had an interest in eye care since her early years in medical school. As a medical student, she traveled on a mission to Honduras to assist ophthalmologists providing eye care to those unable to afford treatment. As a semi-professional photographer, Dr. Keamy has a keen interest in cameras and optics. This interest in vision makes ophthalmology a perfect fit for her. Upon completion of her residency, Dr. Keamy pursued a fellowship in refractive surgery at the world famous Gimbel Eye Centre in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. She chose to go there because of Dr. Gimbel’s expertise and the center’s interest in new technologies. She was able to obtain experience in custom ablations and phakic intraocular lenses as well as advanced techniques in LASIK and PRK during her year there. In fact, the center was a referral for many other doctors’ complications, so she was able to gain experience in managing the complications of others. You can find Dr. Keamy at 24 Lyman Street - Suite 130, Westborough, MA 01581 (508) 836-USEE (8733) www.drkeamy.com also cosmetic procedures in Swampscott, MA inside Luxe Beautique

A small accessories company based in WDC is improving the lives and empowering a group of women artisans in the villages near Kathmandu, Nepal. The exquisite, fashion-forward scarves and jewelry are sold in over 900 boutiques and major department stores throughout the U.S., Canada and the U.K. by Nepali by TDM Design (and seen in fashion mags and on celebs) are hand-crafted by women who have suffered under the male-dominated, patriarchal Nepalese society and culture. By employing over 120 Nepalese women, and providing them with an income source, education and healthcare for them and their families, Michelle Baldwin, founder of the company, has begun to shift the oppressive patriarchal paradigm that has plagued the heavily impoverished country.

Peace …it’s something we all aspire to in our personal lives, even as we often wrestle with unresolved conflicts in our homes or at work. Peace is also a quality that we hope for in a world that is too often faced with misunderstanding, hatred, and violence. And yet, why is peace so elusive? Answering that question has been the life mission of James O’Dea, a renowned figure in international social healing, in his newest book, Cultivating Peace: Becoming a 21st Century Peace Ambassador (Shift Books, July, 2012). According to O’Dea, “Each of us is unique, and conflict is a natural part of our daily lives. Yet, sometimes, ordinary differences boil over into hatred, polarization, and even violence. When faced with such crises, we may try ‘dialogue.’ Or we may even try formal mediation or peacemaking. But too often, these remedies just don’t work.” http://cultivatingpeace.net/book

I will have Gregg Stebben on the show today to talk about a program that’s part of the Olympics in London and sponsored by the US State Department. The program is called “Walk-A-Mile”...and the idea is you can bring both the athleticism and the spirit of the Olympics into your own life as part of this program. There are two parts of the program: • Get inspired by the Olympics by getting out and getting some exercise (Get it: Walk-A-Mile”) • Since the Olympics bring people of many races and countries all together...this is also a great time to imagine that you are about to “Walk-A-Mile” in someone else’s shoes as a way to see the world through their eyes. In London, “Walk-A-Mile” has become a very big deal with tons of celebrity endorsements, free concerts and events, and even prizes for participants: • Endorsements from Hillary Clinton, Michelle Kwan, Dave Stewart, Geena Davis and more • Release of 34 music tracks from Transcendental Music and artists such as Maroon 5, Alanis Morissette, Moby, Tom Waits, as well as an exclusive release of “Man to Man, Woman to Woman” by Dave Stewart • July 24th: Star-studded musical event at London’s Hospital club featuring Dave Stewart and celebrity guests, to be shown globally to WAM members by livestream • July 25th: Olympic Torch Relay Event in Haringey featuring Tottenham Hotspur Football Club and Walk a Mile. • July 26th: UN Sponsored Global Impact Institute (GII) symposium at the Houses of Parliament with contributing speakers including founder Howard W Buffett, and Amir Dossal .

In Mark Twain and the Colonel, Philip McFarland tells the story of the rich years of American history between 1890 and 1910 through the fully engaged involvement of two of its most vital participants. The narrative unfolds in six sections, each focusing on a different aspect of the United States of the early twentieth century that continues to matter to this day: America as an imperialist nation, America as a continental nation, America as a racial nation, America as a corporate nation, America at home, and America striving for peace. In this short span of years, the America of the late nineteenth century will move substantially closer to the America we know today, thanks in part to the influence and actions of Mark Twain and Theodore Roosevelt, two of the most influential figures of the age

The circus arrives without warning. No announcements precede it. It is simply there, when yesterday it was not. Within the black-and-white striped canvas tents is an utterly unique experience full of breathtaking amazements. It is called Le Cirque des Rêves, and it is only open at night. But behind the scenes, a fierce competition is underway: a duel between two young magicians, Celia and Marco, who have been trained since childhood expressly for this purpose by their mercurial instructors. Unbeknownst to them both, this is a game in which only one can be left standing. Despite the high stakes, Celia and Marco soon tumble headfirst into love, setting off a domino effect of dangerous consequences, and leaving the lives of everyone, from the performers to the patrons, hanging in the balance.

BETSY MCCAUGHEY will be here to talk about the dirty side of hospitals. Hospitals in wealthy towns may seem the safest choice for a medical procedure - but data from August's Consumer Reports show that you can get a deadly infection as easily at a rich hospital as at a poor one. Don't be misled by a hospital's beautiful decor. Bacteria are invisible. They survive for 20 days or more on bedrails, computer keyboards, privacy curtains, television controls, call buttons and over-the-bed tables - the very surfaces that medical professionals and patients repeatedly touch. Even when doctors and nurses clean their hands as they enter a room, their hands become recontaminated as soon as they open the privacy curtain, touch the bedside keyboard or handle a bedrail. That's why effective room cleaning is vital. Stamford Hospital in Connecticut focuses on this issue. Dr. Michael Parry, chief of infectious diseases there, stresses the link between contaminated environments and infection risk. So don't let fancy addresses fool you. Hospital-acquired infections kill 100,000 people in the U.S. each year - that's more than AIDS (17,000), breast cancer (40,000) and auto accidents (33,000) combined. Agonizing pain, needless deaths and added costs - all reasons to demand that hospitals clean up. Besty McCaughey is chairwoman of the Committee to Reduce Infection Deaths. www.hospitalinfection.org

In his book No Storm Lasts Forever, published by Hay House, Dr. Gordon shares with us from personal experience how a so-called tragedy in one’s life can actually be a blessing in disguise. “When adversity comes our way, it is how we respond to that difficulty that determines who we are. Our life experiences become calamities only if we make the conscious decision to make tragedies out of them. We might just as easily choose to view them as opportunities for personal growth.” “The difficult days we experience can become the driving force of change. Rather than lamenting adversity, we can choose to be grateful for it. We can embrace and accept it as a gift from the Divine. Within these gifts are the lessons that can promote our development and maturation. By being grateful for adversity, we can see it as an opportunity to transform turmoil, disappointment, or suffering into understanding, insight, or resolve.” www.drterrygordon.com

Ne arly half of America does not believe in evolution, according to a June Gallup poll. But more Americans – 15 percent -- believe evolution explains how humans came to be, independent of God. That’s up from 9 percent30 years ago. World-renowned physicist Stephen Hawking is among those who say God has no place in science. As it turns out, religion and science do agree, says engineering physicist and “reconcilian” Daniel Friedmann, CEO of the aerospace company known for building the space station’s robotic arm and author of “The Genesis One Code”(www.danielfriedmannbooks.com ). He developed a formula that converts “Bible time” to years as we know them. When applied to calculating the age of the universe and the timeline for the appearance of life on Earth, the Bible consistently matches scientific estimates.

Millions of baby boomers are just beginning to retire, and in doing so many are likely to run into adjustment problems, such as loss of identity, deterioration of marriage and social life, and feelings of disconnectedness to the world. Studies have found that as many as 40% of retirees have difficulty adjusting, and even those who claim to enjoy retirement may experience some uneasiness as they adapt to a life lacking in structure and direction. This book investigates the struggles faced by retirees in building a new life outside of the workforce. It provides an honest assessment of retirement, based on the not-always-acknowledged fact that it is a difficult transition with pitfalls and obstacles to be overcome. But along with uncovering problems, the authors also propose solutions to enable both current and future retirees to be better prepared, allowing them to avoid being blind-sided by unexpected situations.

Every once in a while a book comes along that manages to reaffirm one’s faith in the power of love. Peter Golden’s COMEBACK LOVE (Washington Square Press; $15.00; April 3, 2012), is that kind of heartfelt novel. From the very first page through its climatic conclusion, readers will be captivated by this magical book about love, family and standing up for personal beliefs. Romantic and nostalgic, COMEBACK LOVE is the story of a 50-something year-old man, Gordon, who decides to track down the woman he loved — and lost — 35 years ago. When Gordon and Glenna first meet he is an aspiring writer and she is a sexy, sharp-witted medical student. Shifting between the past and the present, we see their relationship unfold against the backdrop of the Vietnam War and the Women’s Movement—only to crash and burn when the outside world gets in the way. But now, years later, Gordon has an overwhelming desire to see Glenna again. Though she’s stunned when Gordon walks into her Manhattan office one late December night, Glenna agrees to accompany him for a drink.

A Step-by-Step Program to Reduce Anger, Rage, Negativity, Violence, and Depression in Your Life If you get angry out of the blue, experience road rage, often blow off steam at your kids, get depressed for no apparent reason, or otherwise act out of control, then you need to read and heed this book. Anger is not just an emotion - it's a way of life based on all the things you eat, think, and do. Specific biological, nutritional, and psychological states feed anger. So if you don't change your lifestyle and cure your problem, you're headed for degenerative diseases that increase with age - things like diabetes, cancer, heart disease, stroke, arthritis, obesity, and addiction. In her book, author Kathleen O'Bannon, C.N.C., uses her accumulated wealth of knowledge about lifestyle-based conditions to provide a series of tests to help you diagnose what's causing your anger problem. She then guides you through a series of lifestyle changes necessary to cure it. For instance, spikes in your blood sugar after you eat a candy bar instead of a nutritious lunch cause anger attacks, as do yeast infections, a lack of B vitamins, and excess stress. Not only does O'Bannon describe the many factors that contribute to and promote anger, she provides diets, exercises, and stress management - a complete Anger Cure program - based on nearly thirty years of lifestyle counseling. Being angry is a choice you make when you allow your body to control you instead of you controlling your body. The goal of The Anger Cure is to help you learn how to become more balanced and anger-free. Are you ready to take control of your life? The choice is yours. www.healthaliveproducts.com

The cigarette is the deadliest artifact in the history of human civilization. It is also one of the most beguiling, thanks to more than a century of manipulation at the hands of tobacco industry chemists. In Golden Holocaust, Robert N. Proctor draws on reams of formerly-secret industry documents to explore how the cigarette came to be the most widely-used drug on the planet, with six trillion sticks sold per year. He paints a harrowing picture of tobacco manufacturers conspiring to block the recognition of tobacco-cancer hazards, even as they ensnare legions of scientists and politicians in a web of denial. Proctor tells heretofore untold stories of fraud and subterfuge, and he makes the strongest case to date for a simple yet ambitious remedy: a ban on the manufacture and sale of cigarettes.

It’s not about understanding the prophecy. It’s about outliving it. Dr. Elena Burroughs’s life is spiraling out of control. Her controversial stance on dream interpretation has cost her a job, a romance, and all credibility in academic circles. Her literary agent tries to leverage the outcry into a publicity tour, which soon attracts a quirky following. Among the skeptics and mystics is a condescending scientist. But Elena finds his research holds ominous parallels with her own. A certain dream pattern has foretold every major catastrophe stretching back to the dawn of civilization. And now this dream is repeating itself in countless nightmares across the globe. Elena is confronted with a harrowing realization: the clock is ticking down to a cataclysmic financial collapse. Her desperation mounts as the prediction infiltrates her own dreams. Will this scientist become an unlikely ally—and maybe something more? Could an ancient biblical secret about the power of dreams and visions offer them an escape?

You most certainly know someone whose life depends on the prescription drugs they take: it may be your husband, who takes sleeping pills to counteract the anxiety his heart medications cause him, or it may be your aging father, who takes upwards of twenty pills a day for everything from arthritis to high blood pressure. But we’ve all read the headlines: prescription drugs can kill you. If that’s the case, why are so many Americans, particularly those sixty and older, given so many pills, with no regard to how they interact with one another? Fifth-generation pharmacist Armon B. Neel, Jr., is on a mission to help patients understand how the medications they take can affect them—for better or worse. As a consulting pharmacist, he visits hospitals and nursing homes daily and counsels patients on how their prescriptions may be interacting dangerously with one another, and how they can reduce the number of medications they’re taking. Armon’s recommendations have been estimated to save $2.5 million a year in health-care costs, and more important, he’s saved thousands of lives. In 2010, the American Society of Consultant Pharmacists gave Armon its annual achievement award. The organization then announced that Neel so personified excellence in the field that the award would be renamed for him. In Are Your Prescriptions Killing You?, Armon reveals what you and your loved ones need to know about the risks, dangers, and benefits of prescription drugs. He explains what needs to be taken into account when prescribing medication to older patients and the catastrophic results that can occur when they’re not.

This first of a kind book reveals the inner secrets of romance during an obesity epidemic. If there are two subjects that are universally fascinating and rife with controversy, they are sex and fat. A compilation of true stories, cultural references, and narrative commentary, "Fat Sex: The Naked Truth," tells the honest, and often heroic, heartbreaking, and hilarious experiences of large-size women and men in their romantic, intimate, and sexual relationships. The first book of its kind, "Fat Sex: The Naked Truth," explores experiences and issues of fat and sex, recognizing that though our culture is obsessed with both, the two commingling are sometimes seen as offensive, obscene, or even grotesque. Fat people are not viewed as sexual beings. Of course, this perception is far from accurate. Fat people have normal and peculiar sex lives, just like everyone else. Subjects touched on include heterosexual relationships, gay men and lesbian women, those who have gained and lost a great deal of weight, and the sexual "underground" such as fetishes. This book is not just for large-size people. The stories and issues discussed touch all of us, each and every person who has ever experienced the trials and tribulations, as well as the ecstasies, of intimate relationships. Though the people portrayed in "Fat Sex: The Naked Truth" sometimes face bigotry and experience shame - they are often valiant and live remarkably fulfilling lives. Ms. Weinstein is the founder of PeopleOfSize.com, an online community and social networking site which provides information, support, and interaction for "people of size."
