Floxed - I am a collateral damage from fluoroquinolone Antibiotics

Melanie Ludwinski

Sinopsis

Updated edition with further insights and honest reports on Gerald's enormous progress in health.
My husband's name is Gerald and he is a collateral damage victim of fluoroquinolone antibiotics, in short, he is floxed! Until a few weeks ago, we had neither heard of the term 'floxed' nor did we know what it means, as in to be affected by severe side effects after taking the aforementioned antibiotics and to therefore become very ill. An almost unbelievable total of 39 side effects affected Gerald or are still affecting him and based on his experiences and subsequent research into his condition, this book is intended to offer both: guidance and for similarly affected people, their relatives and friends. And as a word of caution: please take these antibiotics only after very careful consideration. A note like 'please tell your Doctor or Pharmacist if you suffer from any listed side effects...' is always be included in any medication packages. Unfortunately, though, such references are apparently not taken seriously by the medical profession, nor does any advice or assistance from this side seem to exist as there is no treatment option available. Gerald, therefore, has no other option than to help himself and to share whatever information we have gleaned in this regard with others who may hopefully also benefit thereby. I'm simply going to describe Geralds experiences he went through and explain his different methods (nutritional supplements, medication, and alternatives) he has tried, in order to become human once again. However, Gerald is not a doctor, so this book cannot and must not replace a doctor's consultation, nor should it replace a professional medical diagnosis!

The Hungry Brain - Outsmarting...

Stephan J. Guyenet Ph.D.

A Publishers Weekly Best Book of the YearFrom an obesity and neuroscience researcher with a knack for engaging, humorous storytelling, The Hungry Brain uses cutting-edge science to answer the questions: why do we overeat, and what can we do about it? No one wants to overeat. And certainly no one wants to overeat for years, become overweight, and end up with a high risk of diabetes or heart disease--yet two thirds of Americans do precisely that.  Even though we know better, we often eat too much. Why does our behavior betray our own intentions to be lean and healthy? The problem, argues obesity and neuroscience researcher Stephan J. Guyenet, is not necessarily a lack of willpower or an incorrect understanding of what to eat. Rather, our appetites and food choices are led astray by ancient, instinctive brain circuits that play by the rules of a survival game that no longer exists. And these circuits don’t care about how you look in a bathing suit next summer.To make the case, The Hungry Brain takes listeners on an eye-opening journey through cutting-edge neuroscience that has never before been available to a general audience. The Hungry Brain delivers profound insights into why the brain undermines our weight goals and transforms these insights into practical guidelines for eating well and staying slim. Along the way, it explores how the human brain works, revealing how this mysterious organ makes us who we are.

Why Is the Penis Shaped Like...

Jesse Bering

Why do testicles hang the way they do? Is there an adaptive function to the female orgasm? What does it feel like to want to kill yourself? Does "free will" really exist? And why is the penis shaped like that anyway?     In Why Is the Penis Shaped Like That?, the research psychologist and award-winning columnist Jesse Bering features more than thirty of his most popular essays from Scientific American and Slate, as well as two new pieces, that take readers on a bold and captivating journey through some of the most taboo issues related to evolution and human behavior. Exploring the history of cannibalism, the neurology of people who are sexually attracted to animals, the evolution of human body fluids, the science of homosexuality, and serious questions about life and death, Bering astutely covers a generous expanse of our kaleidoscope of quirks and origins.      With his characteristic irreverence and trademark cheekiness, Bering leaves no topic unturned or curiosity unexamined, and he does it all with an audaciously original voice. Whether you're interested in the psychological history behind the many facets of sexual desire or the evolutionary patterns that have dictated our current mystique and phallic physique, Why Is the Penis Shaped Like That? is bound to create lively discussion and debate for years to come.

The Coming Healthcare Revolution...

David W. Johnson, Paul Kusserow

The Coming Healthcare Revolution identifies and describes five top-down macro forces and five bottom-up market forces that have sufficient strength to transform the US healthcare industry from the outside-in. The powerful macro forces are demographic determinants, funding fatigue, chronic pandemics, technological imperatives, and pro-consumer/market reforms. The equally powerful market forces are whole health, care redesign, care migration, aggregators' advantage, and empowered caregivers. Written by David Johnson and Paul Kusserow, professional healthcare advisors operating at the intersection of healthcare economics, policy, strategy, and capital formation, this book provides expert insight on how the US healthcare system is becoming cheaper, better, more balanced between prevention and treatment, easier to access, and more empowering for both frontline caregivers and consumers. 
 
 
 
In this book, listeners will learn about factors leading to rising healthcare costs; US healthcare in comparison to other high-income countries; similarities between the US automobile industry crisis in the 1980s and today's adapt-or-die situation for healthcare providers and suppliers; and how the healthcare industry is reorganizing to decentralize delivery of whole-person health in ways that will improve health outcomes and overall societal health.
