Excitotoxins : The Taste That Kills
by Russell L. Blaylock (1996) $14.36 Paperback
If you have "RealAudio/RealPlayer" listen to the Mission Possible Radio INTERVIEW of Dr. Blaylock (very informative).
If you don't have the audio capability then READ the transcript.
Excitotoxins are substances added to foods and beverages that literally stimulates neurons to death, causing brain damage of varying degrees. They can be found in such ingredients as monosodium glutamate, aspartame (Nutrasweet®), cysteine, hydrolyzed protein, and aspartic acid. Dr. Blaylock's book describes what excitotoxins are, where they are found, and how they react in the body. Dr. Blaylock, a board-certified neurosurgeon, presents the latest research findings to demonstrate how exposure to excitotoxins will damage nerve cells in the brain. The use of aspartame, hydrolyzed vegetable protein, and monosodium glutamate in prepared foods and beverages continues to increase on a yearly basis. Dr. Blaylock clearly demonstrates that the neurotoxic potential of excitotoxins such as MSG and aspartame is so overwhelming that it can no longer be ignored. The message contained in this book is of particular importance to members of high-risk groups; the elderly, young children and those people at risk of or with a family history of eurodegenerative
diseases.

Trust Us, We're Experts! How Industry Manipulates Science and Gambles With Your Future
by Sheldon Rampton, John Stauber (2000) 360 pages $24.95 Hardcover
Fearless investigative journalists Sheldon Rampton and John Stauber (Toxic Sludge Is Good for You! and Mad Cow U.S.A.) are back with a gripping exposé of the public relations industry and the scientists who back their business-funded, anti-consumer-safety agendas. There are two kinds of "experts" in question--the PR spin doctors behind the scenes and the "independent" experts paraded before the public, scientists who have been hand-selected, cultivated, and paid handsomely to promote the views of corporations involved in controversial actions. Lively writing on controversial topics such as dioxin, bovine growth hormone, and genetically modified food makes this a real page-turner, shocking in its portrayal of the real and potential dangers in each of these technological innovations and of the "media pseudo-environment" created to obfuscate the risks. By financing and publicizing views that support the goals of corporate sponsors, PR campaigns have, over the course of the century, managed to suppress the dangers of lead poisoning for decades, silence the scientist who discovered that rats fed on genetically modified corn had significant organ abnormalities, squelch television and newspaper stories about the risks of bovine growth hormone, and place enough confusion and doubt in the public's mind about global warming to suppress any mobilization for action.
Rampton and Stauber introduce the movers and shakers of the PR industry, from the "risk communicators" (whose job is to downplay all risks) and "outrage managers" (with their four strategies--deflect, defer, dismiss, or defeat) to those who specialize in "public policy intelligence" (spying on opponents). Evidently, these elaborate PR campaigns are created for our own good. According to public relations philosophers, the public reacts emotionally to topics related to health and safety and is incapable of holding rational discourse. Needless to say, Rampton and Stauber find these views rather antidemocratic and intend to pull back the curtain to reveal the real wizard in Oz. This is one wake-up call that's hard to resist. --Lesley Reed

The Liver-Cleansing Diet
by Sandra Dr. Cabot 192 pages (April 1998)
$19.95 Paperback
The advice to simply "eat sensibly" will have a hundred different
definitions to a hundred different people. To just "eat sensibly", for
the millions of people suffering with a fatty liver, who are chronically
overweight and unwell will not achieve the required metabolic changes to
achieve weight loss and rejuvenation. They obviously need to follow the
Liver Cleansing Diet.
Clinical research has shown that it is necessary to eat in a very
specific way before we can stimulate and repair the liver. This is
vitally important because the liver is the major fat burning organ in
the body and the cleanser and purifyer of the blood stream. Surely it is
worthwhile making a few easy and specific changes that nearly one
million people have found "life saving" material from the "Liver
Cleansing Diet Book".

MARILU HENNER'S
TOTAL HEALTH MAKEOVER
by Marilu Henner with Laura Morton Hardcover - 320 pages $24.00
Marilu Henner, known as Elaine on TV's Taxi and star of the musical Chicago, was once very overweight, with sallow skin and a weak immune system. She waffled between starving herself and gorging herself. Since cutting dairy products and caffeine out of her diet, adopting a food-combining plan, and following a program that's code-named "BEST"--for balance, energy, stamina, and toxin-free-- she's shaved nearly 100 points off her cholesterol count and 50 pounds off her frame, and she looks younger at 45 than she did at 19. If you don't count her pregnancies, her weight hasn't changed by more than 5 pounds over the past 11 years.
Henner's 10-step health program outlined here is strict, but she offers tips for getting your feet wet. Start by cutting out caffeine one day a week, she advises, instead of going cold turkey, and make just one meal each day dairy-free, so the change doesn't come as a shock to your system. Her "anti-milk manifesto," which reveals exactly how milk is produced and how it negatively affects the human body, is quite a stunner. Her plan offers sound advice for becoming more mindful of how you treat your body, how and what you eat and why, and how you react to stress, along with how to make improvements in all these areas. Henner's especially trustworthy because she's been through the wringer: "After nineteen years of experimenting, a thousand mistakes, over 400 books (read, not written), at least 200 bad diets over my lifetime, five doctors, two physical therapists, three nutritionists, two personal trainers, one therapist, and a partridge in a pear tree, I have found what I believe are the best answers this planet has to offer about living a healthy, happy, and balanced life." And she holds nothing back as she passes on her hard-earned knowledge about nutrition, digestion, exercise, preventive medicine, detoxification, and stress reduction.

"The Stevia Story:"
"A Tale of Incredible Sweetness & Intrigue"
80 pages (Sept 1996) $6.50 + $1.85 special surcharge
Linda and Bill Bonvie, and Donna Gates tell all about this natural sweet FOOD that has been safely used in South America... for centuries. A food that cannot be patented, so the FDA has done all within (and in addition) to its power to first ban, and now LIMIT this naturally sweet plant leaf as a "dietary supplement" instead of sweetener.
Seems like the FDA can see fit to "grandfather" Tobacco and cows milk and dairy as "GRAS" (generally recognized as safe) when it fact both are deadly poisons... but a truly safe FOOD is the object of their unrelenting vengeance.
The FDA even stormed the authors and confiscated over $10,000.00 worth of this book with the intent to burn it. Comments by certain well known doctors seems to have shamed the FDA into not having their planned bonfire.
This is a tell-all on stevia and the FDA, with lots of recipes on how to use stevie in place of sugar. Stevia is an excellent low-glycemic sweetening agent, with a single not-unpleasant drawback: it has a distinct licorice aftertaste. See http://www.dorway.com/stevia.html for much more info on all sweeteners.

"So, Now What Do I Eat?
The Complete Guide to Vegetarian Convenience Foods"
By Gail Davis Paperback - 158 pages (March 1998) $10.36
Amazon.com buyer comment:
Gail Davis's book has a wealth of invaluable information for both the seasoned and novice vegetarian. It must have taken her hundreds and hundreds of hours to compile this impressive reference book! I take it with me everytime I go to the natural foods store, and with her help, I have just recently ordered some delicious desserts that I could not find in the store directly from the company itself-- a first for me! And check out the coupons, they're worth the price of the book by themselves. A great buy.

EIGHT WEEKS TO OPTIMUM HEALTH
by Andrew Weil. $11.16 276 pages
If health is wealth, Andrew Weil wants to make you rich! Certainly, he owes some success (his PBS infomercials, for example) to looking like a guru--think the Maharishi with less hair and not so ethnic. But Eight Weeks to Optimum Health amply demonstrates that Weil can write a fine prescription, too. The book aims to improve health and harness "spontaneous healing" (sounds dangerous) with a complete, self-contained eight-week program. Weil's admonitions are not always surprising--eat less fat and more whole grains; tone up your head and heart, as well as your waistline--but he presents them in an entertaining, understandable fashion. "Health is wholeness and balance, an inner resilience that allows you to meet the demands of living," he writes.
Weil's often airy prose is brought down to earth by specifics, even recipes. His regimen is comprehensive and holistic to the max, bristling with diet, vitamin, exercise, and mental techniques. Finally, no demographic is left out: The author has special recommendations for older people, adolescents, parents with young children, and others. Whatever your malady, Dr. Weil has got you covered.
