Book Description
Information about stubborn symptoms that “helps you end the cycle of being sick and tired” (Mark Hyman, MD). In this book, Dr. Sharon Norling provides thought-provoking evidence that challenges our traditional thinking about right and wrong choices in maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Your Doctor Is Wrong is filled with patients’ stories and life-saving information, and is documented with medical journal citations. If you are still suffering after years of medical care and pharmaceutical drugs, Your Doctor Is Wrong will help you to get your life on the healthy track. Read Your Doctor Is Wrong if your symptoms of fatigue, insomnia, anxiety, depression, allergies, joint pain, lack of motivation, headaches, hormonal imbalances, or intestinal issues are just not going away. “Based on years of medical practice, Dr. Norling has done a thorough job of going beneath the surface to uncover root causes of the many conditions that affect us today. She then describes the treatments that, unlike conventional methods that just cover over the symptoms (or produce serious side effects!) actually get results based our natural body’s physiology and chemistry.” —Hyla Cass, MD, author of 8 Weeks to Vibrant Health

Book Description
With family doctors increasingly overburdened, bureaucratized, and burned out, how can the field change before it's too late? Over the past few decades, as American medical practice has become increasingly specialized, the number of generalists—doctors who care for the whole person—has plummeted. On paper, family medicine sounds noble; in practice, though, the field is so demanding in scope and substance, and the health system so favorable to specialists, that it cannot be fulfilled by most doctors. In Searching for the Family Doctor, Timothy J. Hoff weaves together the early history of the family practice specialty in the United States with the personal narratives of modern-day family doctors. By formalizing this area of practice and instituting specialist-level training requirements, the originators of family practice hoped to increase respect for generalists, improve the pipeline of young medical graduates choosing primary care, and, in so doing, have a major positive impact on the way patients receive care. Drawing on in-depth interviews with fifty-five family doctors, Hoff shows us how these medical professionals have had their calling transformed not only by the indifferent acts of an unsupportive health care system but by the hand of their own medical specialty—a specialty that has chosen to pursue short- over long-term viability, conformity over uniqueness, and protectionism over collaboration. A specialty unable to innovate to keep its membership cohesive and focused on fulfilling the generalist ideal. The family doctor, Hoff explains, was conceived of as a powered-up version of the "country doctor" idea. At a time when doctor-patient relationships are evaporating in the face of highly transactional, fast-food-style medical practice, this ideal seems both nostalgic and revolutionary. However, the realities of highly bureaucratic reimbursement and quality-of-care requirements, educational debt, and ongoing consolidation of the old-fashioned independent doctor's office into corporate health systems have stacked the deck against the altruists and true believers who are drawn to the profession of family practice. As more family doctors wind up working for big health care corporations, their career paths grow more parochial, balkanizing the specialty. Their work roles and professional identities are increasingly niche-oriented. Exploring how to save primary care by giving family doctors a fighting chance to become the generalists we need in our lives, Searching for the Family Doctor is required reading for anyone interested in the troubled state of modern medicine.

Book Description
We need a more proactive, more balanced and integrated approach to health and wellness. The Best of All Worlds shines a harsh light in its critique of the current healthsystem in America. Mainstream allopathic medicine tends to be reactive and superficial with an excessive reliance on pharmaceuticals. More often, we wait until a person is ill only to then decide on which drug to use for every symptom and condition. The alternative health practitioners are a wild west show of mavericks, geniuses and charlatans. Science vs. religion. East vs. West. We have come apart and need to pull systems back together toward the whole. An optimal approach would be more proactive with a focus on individualized care that incorporated all aspects of the person's mind, body and spirit. The Best of All Worlds provides balanced information on the majority of acute and chronic medical conditions. Case studies are used to personalize the material. Many people with a wide variety of health problems see physician after physician only to remain lost in the system. This book is a guide for that person, helping them find effective alternative approaches. The Best of All Worlds covers many complex and controversial issues including autism, immunizations, yeast overgrowth, chronic Lyme disease, genetic testing and others. It explores many of the underlying reasons why so many people are chronically ill. One of the goals of the book is to help the reader find some of the best supplement options covering different vitamins, minerals, herbs, probiotics and others. There are a wide variety of options for health maintenance and prevention within and beyond the medical establishment. We would do well to find the best of them.
