Positive Options for Antiphospholipid Syndrome (APS)

$24.95

This book contains information on an increasingly common autoimmune disorder. Also called "sticky blood" and Hughes Syndrome, APS makes one's blood clot too easily, creating high risk of stroke, thrombosis, and premature heart attack.

Symptoms include; migraines and headaches, recurrent miscarriage, memory loss, slurred speech, blood clots, poor circulation, muscle pain and cramps, blurred vision, extreme fatigue, epilepsy, strokes, thrombosis and a form of angina. Because of lack of knowledge of APS in the medical establishment, sufferers are often misdiagnosed with MS or other more life-threatening conditions.

This book helps the reader identify the symptoms and provides important information on diagnosis and treatment of APS. It contains many moving stories, explaining how people eventually got a diagnosis, their symptoms, the impact of APS on their lives and whether or not treatment has worked.

Written in collaboration with Dr. Graham Hughes, the major researcher of APS in the UK, this book provides a clearly written informative look at an important but little-known disease.

Continuing his transmission of 2,000-year-old Polynesian wisdom that began with The Pleasure Prescription, Paul Pearsall introduces in this new book what be calls "naupaka love" or aloha kakou—love shared, profound companionship, surrendering to a relationship in all its dimensions and embracing it as a lifelong mission of discovery and mutual pleasure.

Our society tells us that individual success and self-fulfillment are the keys to happiness. This book asks, If that is true, why do so many of us—even those who are in a relationship—feel unhappy and alone? And it answers that there is no joy if there is no one to share it with. As a poet said long ago, "No man is an island .... "

A uniquely warm combination of oral wisdom and current research, Partners in Pleasure is nothing less than a re-visioning of marriage. It offers eight lessons in mahele (sharing)—eight pleasure prescriptions for partners, from dreaming die same dream to becoming one body. Woven throughout are partnering tests; relationship lessons from Hawai`i's foremost kupuna (elders) and kahuna (healers or priests); and insights from Dr. Pearsall's own work and seminars.

Partners in Pleasure shows couples how they can come together to face the challenges of life—conflict, sexual compatibility, child-rearing, career setbacks and getting old—and grow ever stronger together, united in heart.

How to Spot a Dangerous Man Workbook

$16.95

You already have the information. This workbook is the tool to help you use it.

In our culture, “dating skills” are typically defined as learning to be more appealing or accommodating; the emphasis is on attracting men. Yet successfully attracting a man may not be good news if he is unsafe. And for every Scott Peterson or O.J. Simpson who grabs the headlines in a case of violence against a partner, there are thousands of men who harm women more subtly, with wounds that may not be visible to the eye.

Sandra Brown’s book How to Spot a Dangerous Man Before You Get Involved discusses in detail

what makes men dangerous
eight common types of dangerous men
why women select dangerous men again and again

The How to Spot a Dangerous Man Workbook is a tool that will help you avoid dangerous men and keep your body and mind safe. Direct and practical, it gives you the tools you need to learn from your past mistakes so that you can avoid making them again.

The workbook is in three parts: Part One helps you assess your current risk level by providing you with an understanding of how you may be at risk for dating more dangerous men. Part Two guides you in taking stock of your history with dangerous men so that you can learn important lessons. Part Three helps you develop your critical-thinking skills and put them to use when considering future relationships, thereby setting the stage for healthy, safe choices.

Using over 20 worksheets and quizzes, this practical workbook will help you

understand why you make yourself vulnerable to dangerous men
take an inventory of your own dating behaviors
identify your personal red flags and learn from your past relationships with dangerous men
examine loopholes in your thinking that minimize, generalize or justify dangerous behaviors in men
make new choices, opening the way for healthy relationships with safe men

With a direct approach honed in her workshops, Sandra Brown will help you change your old dating styles so that you learn how to avoid pain and danger, and improve your chances of finding intimacy and fulfillment with a good man.

Ditch That Jerk

$16.95

The Potentially Good, The Definitely Bad, and the Utterly Hopeless...

If you know your husband or boyfriend is a good man, then this book isn’t for you. But if you’re not so sure, Ditch That Jerk will help you assess whether your partner could be controlling or abusive—and whether he’ll ever change. Author Pamela Jayne writes in a direct, honest style, and uses real-life examples to show how the mind of an abusive man works and how to recognize the men she characterizes as potentially good, definitely bad or utterly hopeless. Her book includes descriptions, examples, warnings—and even “jerk tests.” Should you ditch him? Here are a few of the indicators:

The Potentially Good Man (has the capacity to change)

is likely to use non-physical forms of control and intimidation, such as verbal abuse
is usually employed and doesn’t change jobs a lot or get ﬁred regularly
does not usually have a serious alcohol or other drug problem

The Definitely Bad Man (is unlikely to change)

feels victimized by the world and blames everyone else for his problems
is moody, creates chaos around him, and may isolate himself and his family
may have a serious problem with alcohol or other drugs

The Utterly Hopeless Man (will never change—ditch him!)

behaves violently, including toward animals, and totally lacks feelings and empathy
is extremely dishonest, lying whenever it suits his purposes
is charming and highly manipulative—often claiming to have reformed

If you’re with a man who is controlling or hurtful—or you want to help a woman who is—Ditch That Jerk is for you. Sensible and straightforward, this book can help women make potentially lifesaving decisions about their relationships.

Positive Options for Living with Your Ostomy

$12.95

Regaining confidence and control after life-altering surgery

Nearly half a million people in the U.S. have an ostomy—a surgically created opening used to expel waste when the body’s normal systems are damaged by disease or injury. This book deals specifically with the effect of colostomies (large intestine), ileostomies (small intestine), and urostomies (urinary tract), which handle waste materials from the digestive tract.

Dr. White explains why ostomies are needed, what medical tests you may need, how an ostomy is created and what to expect during surgery. He follows with detailed information on post-ostomy issues, including how to adapt to wearing the ostomy-care appliance and how to develop a successful routine to care for it and change it.

The fact that ostomy surgeries are often life-saving procedures does not make them easy to live with. Recognizing the emotional needs of ostomy patients and their families, Dr. White provides extensive information and help on topics that doctors, surgeons and nurses generally do not cover, such as

How to deal with the common emotional reactions to ostomy surgery by using helpful relaxation and mental retaining techniques
Recognizing signs of panic, anxiety, and depression, and knowing when to seek help and/or medication for these conditions
Dealing with the impact that ostomy surgery can have on intimate relationships and sexual activity
Addressing concerns about sleep, diet, sports and travel, so that your life is as normal as possible

There are helpful charts and forms throughout the book, such a san appliance care troubleshooting guide, scenarios and plans for coping with anxiety, problem-thought records and a food-problem diary. These practical tools can help you address day-to-day concerns in a positive way and help you to reach your goal of living fully—and successfully—with an ostomy.
