    Diet/Recipe Book Focuses on Anti-Inflammation to Help Extend and Enhance Lives

    Based on the article ''Available Now, First Diet and Recipe Book to Focus on Anti-Inflammation -- Naturopath's Delicious Recipes Will Help Save Lives'' at thebizofknowledge.com

    Edited (with Introduction) by Dr. Don Rose

    --

    A big buzzword in the medical/nutrition/healing communities today is inflammation. Recently, the connection between inflammation and disease has become established. Chronic inflammation within our bodies erodes our wellness, paves the path for ill health and speeds up aging. Hidden food allergies can overstimulate the immune system, causing inflammation; any inflammation in the body interferes with and slows down metabolism and our natural healing response. Unfortunately, imbalances in our standard diet cause most Americans to suffer from fairly high levels of inflammation. Older Americans are especially at risk; the effects of inflammation can manifest in seniors as heart disease, arthritis and other problems.

    The good news is that disease caused by inflammation can often be controlled or prevented through proper nutrition. ''The Anti-Inflammation Diet and Recipe Book'' gives readers specifics on how to eat and cook in order to prevent and counter inflammation, promoting simpler and easier digestion, and offering less insult to the body by reducing intake of toxins and other difficult to digest foods. --Don Rose

    --

    Medical research shows that chronic inflammation in our bodies erodes wellness, makes us age faster, and leads to degenerative diseases. Hidden food allergies can over-stimulate the immune system, causing inflammation, which in turn slows down metabolism and our natural healing response. Unfortunately, due to imbalances in the standard American diet, most Americans suffer from fairly high levels of inflammation. As a result, many people develop chronic diseases that could be controlled or prevented through proper nutrition. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), seven out of ten deaths are caused by chronic diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and heart disease, all of which have a direct connection to inflammation and nutrition.

    What can be done to ensure optimal health and healing? ''The Anti-Inflammation Diet and Recipe Book,'' written by leading naturopathic doctor Jessica K. Black, N.D., helps readers reclaim health by guiding them to practices that facilitate cellular regeneration rather than cellular degeneration and disease. Dr. Black educates readers on making diet choices that promote easier digestion, reduce the intake of toxins, and allow greater absorption of nutrients. The result is improved cellular function and metabolism, and possibly greater vitality and beauty -- not to mention a longer life.

    Appropriate for men and women of all ages (even children), Dr. Black's book offers specifics on what to eat and how to cook in order to counter and even prevent inflammation. While providing delicious food choices, the diet eliminates allergens and reduces the intake of pesticides, hormones and antibiotic residues. It encourages whole foods; reduces processed foods, sugars, and other potential toxins such as hydrogenated oils; and encourages ample intake of vegetables and fruits for essential nutrients. Changing one's diet, preparing healthy meals, and enjoying nutritious foods were never so easy.

    ''The Anti-Inflammation Diet and Recipe Book,'' in bookstores nationwide, will help people learn to eat and cook healthily. The first half explains the benefits of healthy eating, and provides information about the scientific background of anti-inflammation diets. The second half contains 125 easy-to-prepare recipes, a week's sample menus for summer and winter, nutritional analysis for all recipes and a food substitution chart, so that readers can modify their favorite recipes and make them healthier.

    REACHING FOR RICH? GET THE NEW BOOK: "HOW TO GET A RICH MAN" by Donna Spangler


    "HOW TO GET A RICH MAN: The Princess Formula" By Donna Spangler is in Book Stores Now;
    CELEBRITY VIP BOOK SIGNING PARTY Takes Place in L.A. The Week Before Valentine's Day

    (LMS): Donna Spangler has finally gone and done it! Write the ultimate field guide about getting a rich man, that is... and the book is very rich itself in its feel (softcover) and contemporary design . Think Beverly Hills pink and palm green; those are the cover colors, which also happen to be the unofficial colors of Beverly Hills.

    "How To Get a Rich Man: The Princess Formula" (Boonie Publishing 184 pgs. $12.95) -- http://www.theprincessformula.com -- is an eye-opener of information for women of all kinds looking for the man who meets higher expectations (both financially and, according to Spangler, those men "rich in spirit"). Advance publicity tells TRR that Ms. Spangler has penned much more than a gold digger's guide to finding rich men, but rather a rule book and diary of the experiences of the author's years of dating, and the relationships of one of Beverly Hills' most attractive and successful young women. Since yours truly was once a participant in one of Donna's Internet ventures (an Internet-distributed soap opera), I know she is perfectly suited to write this book; her charm, poise and beauty would certainly make her an ideal catch for many a rich man.

    Of course, one may wonder: would men be interested in reading this book? Read on:

    "Not knowing what to expect, a number of us who are men in this office wound up taking it home for a tease for our girlfriends and wives. Curiosity got the best of some of us and now we can't stop refering to it. It's fascinating how the book exposes rich men's habits, techniques, desires, attributes and liabilities and it's all packaged into a rewarding pure fun handbook" ----Brian Cowan, LMS Newswire

    Other quotes of note:

    * " If you want to learn How To Get A Rich Man (yes, that is the title of Donna Spangler's new tome)...Donna says that regardless of your age or what you look like, she can help you attain your goal.", Marci Weiner, Entertainment Today and Movieweb.com

    * " How to get a rich man - doesn't every single woman want to know that? Well now you may not have to wonder anymore because Donna Spangler (lives with a rich boyfriend in Beverly Hills) gives you all the answers in her new book......", Anita Talbert - Fox News Channel, Tolucan Times, Canyon Crier, Beverly Hills 90210

    * " IF a guy isn't rich in spirit it doesn't matter how much money he has." Donna Spangler


    Many celebrities and VIPs are expected to attend the book signing party this coming week in Los Angeles, where a portion of the proceeds from book sales will benefit the Jeffrey Foundation (
    http://www.thejeffreyfoundation.com), providing child care and counseling for special needs children and their families. Sponsors for the evening include Journal de Hollywood, Fashion TV, LMS Newswire, Boonie Publishing, KNSB TV, and KMAX 550AM Radio. For Media inquiries, please contact: Edward Lozzi & Associates Public Relations, at 310-922-1200.

    A 2005 PICK? YOU BRET YOUR LIFE: TWOBRETS.COM AND EASTON ELLIS's BOOK


    "
    TwoBrets.com is based on LUNAR PARK, the forthcoming novel by Bret Easton Ellis, in which the main character is Bret Easton Ellis. The book is a mixture of autobiography and whole-cloth invention, and so are the pages you'll click through here."

    The preceding quote was from the homepage of the hip, cool, enticing TwoBrets.com website. This book had one of the more interesting online marketing campaigns of 2005. They even created a writing game to help promote LUNAR PARK (which debuted August 16, 2005), and other stuff to play with.

    GOT POD? "POCKET AND PENDANT" PODIOBOOK NOW AVAILABLE AS FREE NET DOWNLOAD

    Free Internet Podcast of SciFi/Fantasy Audiobook "The Pocket and the Pendant" by Mark Jeffrey Gets Underway; Author of acclaimed book releases a free fully-produced MP3 audiobook performance online to promote book sales.

    (PRWEB) -- Ever wish you could get a new chapter of your favorite audiobook delivered directly to your iPod or MP3 player every week, for free? Now author Mark Jeffrey, together with popular scifi/fantasy website DragonPage.com, has gone and made that possible with his novel, The Pocket and the Pendant. The book is read by the author accompanied by soundtrack music by composer Bjorn Lynne ( http://www.lynnemusic.com/ ).

    "There really aren"t a lot of free MP3 audiobooks out there," said Jeffrey, "which really surprises me. It"s a great way to promote paperback and hardback novels, as well as give your existing audience a new way to experience the book." Asked if he thought he was cannibalizing sales, Jeffrey said, "Absolutely not. We"re already seeing thousands of downloads each week, and new listeners are emailing me that they are purchasing paperback copies on Amazon as a direct result of listening to the podcasts."

    DragonPage.com is currently featuring three free podcast audiobooks, or "podiobooks": "Morevi" by Tee Morris, "Earthcore" by Scott Sigler and "The Pocket and the Pendant" by Mark Jeffrey. New episodes for each – usually a chapter or two – are released each week. Subscribers use popular "podcatchers" such as iPodder or other applications to get the new audio content delivered to them automatically. "Podcasting is an amazing thing," Jeffrey said, "It"s like TiVo for audio."

    So far, five chapters of "Pocket" have been released, with nine more to go. The free podcast is available from DragonPage.com ( http://www.dragonpage.com/ ), PodcastAlley.com ( http://www.podcastalley.com/podcast_detail.php?pod_id=2940 ) and the book"s website at www.PocketandPendant.com .

    About the Book:

    ForeWord Magazine 'Book of the Year' 2005 Finalist.

    From the Kirkus review:

    "A sci-fi adventure steeped in the lore of an ancient civilization that will appeal to children and adults alike...driven -- and driven well -- by good old-fashioned sci-fi storytelling … "Max Quick's life drastically changes after time suddenly stops. The young man of 12 -- harassed by bullies, living as an orphan in a violent home for boys and about to be thown into juvenile hall – is mysteriously immune to this chrono-freeze. He soon discovers other children who are impervious as well -- namely, Casey Cole and Ian Keating -- and the three find themselves embarking on a thrilling quest ... Heavily inspired by the folklore of the Sumer civilization of ancient Mesopotamia, the narrative shines brightest in the chapters that focus on the re-telling of this fascinating history. Jeffrey skillfully infuses the story with authentic historical context, and then thrusts this narrative into the future by introducing aliens, time travel and massive gems with the power to stop time and minds -- and difficult task indeed, but one that he successfully accomplishes."

    Amazon.com review highlights:

    "...few people have jammed as much imagination in a 212-page book as Mark Jeffrey has in "The Pocket and the Pendant." "Mind-boggling creativity … frankly, the concepts often left me speechless … The invented mythology that fuels the plot of this book … was absolute genius." "A Masterful Job … Even adults will be fascinated by the theories in this tale. Author Mark Jeffrey has done a masterful job of blending facts and theories together smoothly for an amazing story that readers will find utterly delightful." "A powerful thrilling read that brings you back and forth through scientific theory, childhood, and the meaning of the universe."

    Purchasing Information:

    "The Pocket and the Pendant" is available from Amazon.com, Barnesandnoble.com, and from the book"s website at http://www.pocketandpendant.com/ in two formats: a high quality paperback edition retailing for $13.95 and a downloadable e-book edition for $5.00.

    NEW PC GUIDE TO SAVE YOUR HIDE: Paraglyph Press Book, "Surviving PC Disasters, Mishaps, and Blunders"

    Book Shows Readers How to Quickly Handle Unexpected Computer Catastrophes

    Paraglyph Press recently published a most intriguing survival guide, designed to help PC users expertly deal with the unthinkable. "Surviving PC Disasters, Mishaps, and Blunders" (U.S. $29.99, 416 pp, ISBN 1-932111-98-0), authored by PC experts Jesse Torres and Peter Sideris, is much more than a backup and recovery book. The content between its covers covers the real "digital lifestyle problems" that most computer users will face sooner or later -- from the horrific to the embarrassing, as well as the truly stupid accidents and mistakes. For a PC that is smashed, hacked, stolen, in flames, virus-laden, or just plain slow and unreliable, this book covers it all by giving the reader triage advice and tips to prevent problems from occurring in the first place.

    With over 150 million new PCs being sold every year, according to IDC, and
    laptops, PDAs, and other handheld devices taking over in most households
    today, mishaps and accidents are occurring at an alarming rate. Just think
    about how devastating a situation like dropping your laptop, having a hard
    drive crash, or having your PDA stolen can be (especially if you are not
    prepared for such a disaster). Today, PC users are so hooked on their
    devices that any kind of disaster or mishap can really set them back. When
    a PC or portable electronic device breaks, security is breached, data is
    lost or compromised, or a device is lost or stolen, the first reaction is
    panic. But with the expert advice in "Surviving PC Disasters, Mishaps, and
    Blunders," readers can learn how to protect themselves to minimize the
    chance of a problem escalating. Or if a catastrophe hits, readers can
    learn how to recover from one in the shortest amount of time. "Surviving
    PC Disasters, Mishaps, and Blunders" provides valuable insight on
    preventative measures that can help avoid a complicated or expensive cure.
    In addition to being a lifesaver, it is a great read, too!

    "Surviving PC Disasters, Mishaps, and Blunders" is jam-packed with
    eye-opening horror stories that will truly inspire (or really scare)
    readers to be more cautious. Each chapter shows the reader how to deal
    with disasters, mishaps, and blunders that can occur in areas such as
    hardware, software, viruses, travel, Internet fraud, identity theft,
    networks, and much more. Scenarios are presented with practical, hands-on
    solutions designed to help readers solve wicked problems quickly.

    Some of the disasters, mishaps, and blunders covered include:

    -What to do if your PC or other device, such as a PDA, is stolen
    -What to do if your PC won't boot
    -What to do if your PC catches on fire
    -What to do if you spill soda on your keyboard
    -What to do if your network crashes
    -What to do if you can't get an Internet connection while traveling
    -What to do if your important data is stolen and you suffer as a result of identity theft
    -What to do if you are ripped off because of Internet fraud
    -What to do if you send embarrassing emails to the wrong people and your job is threatened
    -What to do if someone is pestering you by sending you annoying instant messages
    -What to do if you are having problems with your power adapter
    -What to do if you have a bad crash and you need to quickly restore critical data
    -What to do if you are caught pirating software or music (and no, paying a big fine or going to jail is not the smart outcome)

    Co-author Jesse Torres says, "As an IT consultant, I see wicked PC
    disasters every day. Sadly, most of these crises could be avoided with
    just a little planning. My intention in writing this book was to help arm
    everyone with common-sense advice on protecting their PCs and other
    devices, and learning how to recover from those unexpected catastrophes
    that always seem to happen at the worst possible time." Co-author Peter
    Sideris adds, "I'm always amazed at how vulnerable most computer users are
    to identity theft, theft of their laptops, or completely avoidable
    blunders, such as letting their kids play in their office around all their
    cables and wires. That's just an accident waiting to happen. This book
    is a must-have for anyone who is worried that they're not ready for a
    computer disaster -- or someone who runs a computing environment and needs
    to prepare for the worst."

    Keith Weiskamp, President and Publisher of Paraglyph, says, "After having
    a PC crash recently, the first thing I did was grab a copy of "Surviving
    PC Disasters," and it saved my butt. Reading the horror stories in this
    book made me feel lucky my mishap was solvable, and made me really think
    twice about how I use my PC, the Internet, and all of the other gadgets I
    can't live without. Anyone with a PC or handheld device needs to read
    this book to become aware of the very real threats of loss, theft, or
    other mishaps. "Surviving PC Disasters, Mishaps, and Blunders" can save
    readers a ton of money and a lot of lost time."
