A comprehensive guide to noninvasive, nontoxic therapies for lupus--written by a lupus survivor. - The only book to focus on alternative therapies for lupus. - Includes therapeutic approaches drawn from the fields of naturopathic medicine, nutritional medicine, environmental medicine, traditional Chinese medicine, nontoxic dentistry, energy medicine, and psychological healing. - Lupus affects more than four million Americans and does not respond well to conventional treatments. More than four million Americans (90 percent of them women) have been diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus, a chronic, debilitating disease of the autoimmune system that manifests itself with extreme fatigue, arthritic pain, rashes, and a host of other symptoms. Add to that the fact that lupus is notoriously difficult to diagnose, and the number of potential sufferers grows. Sharon Moore lived with lupus for several years before doctors finally put a name to it. The only therapies offered to her were pharmaceuticals--toxic drugs that could control or suppress some of her symptoms but couldn't cure her disease. Dissatisfied with this approach, she set about researching alternative treatments for her condition. Nine years later her health is greatly improved, and she has written this book to share the most effective natural healing techniques with other lupus sufferers. Chock full of specific, scientific, well-documented evidence on effective alternative treatments, this book is a godsend for anyone suffering from lupus. Moore provides a comprehensive diagnostic checklist and helps readers identify the possible causes of their illness, from environmental toxins and dental amalgam fillings to compromised liver function and poor nutrition. She offers ways to nurture the mind and spirit when living with chronic disease and shows readers how they can rebuild their lives. Equally important, she writes with the understanding of someone who's been there.

This is an insight into our twenty-first century relationships in the U.K. reflected by a 'family law' solicitor. After years in practice divorcing people, arguing about our possessions and our children, she asks us to ask difficult questions. Who are we? How well do we know ourselves and our sexuality? What do we really want from our relationships? The book is peppered with illustrations from her professional and personal life. It discusses how our modern life of internet, mobiles, contraceptives, travel and media freedom has changed the partnerships we make, our expectations of them and the transparency under which they are conducted. Without the past's religious and moral restrictions and with our massive strides towards an Egalitarian society, both genders are struggling to maintain the 'Fairy Tale' of a life-long union filled with love and children. She examines why we take more sexual partners and increasingly 'cheat' and why total honesty may be the only route to true intimacy and preservation of the family unit. She deals with many of the relevant legal issues and procedures and includes interesting government statistics. Not a book for the morally conservative - as the cover suggests - it is brutally honest on occasion and challenging throughout. It does not seek to provide answers but to stir us into thought; to fire us into disagreement; to provoke us to grasp the inevitable nettles within our modern land-scaped relationships and find our own individual ways to make them long, happy and truly intimate.

Kids often suffer unknowingly from the consequences of sleep problems because their issue is frequently missed or dismissed, by both health professionals and parents. Sleep disorders are a major public health issue that can kick start a lifetime pattern of health, behaviour, and learning problems. From ages 4-10, at least 25 percent of kids have sleep problems. Sleep Wrecked Kids guides parents towards good sleep as the norm, allowing themselves and their children to grow and thrive. Speech pathologist and myofunctional practitioner Sharon Moore teaches parents why ‘bad sleep’ is connected to a myriad of health problems, what ‘good sleep’ actually means, how to identify red flags for sleep problems, how to improve sleep quality by improving airway health, and so much more! Parents are empowered to not only get more sleep themselves, but also to help their children get the sleep they need—every night.

Lily was born with acutely limited vision. No one noticed this, so she suffered criticism and abuse for her apparent incompetence in her childhood. When she was finally given glasses, she set about discovering the world she had never really seen. Then she rebelled against her uncaring parents' demands, but she had the courage to run away from home at the age of 15. Lily bicycled to a hiding place in a secluded forest, where she had gone camping with the Girl Scouts in the two previous years. The grounds were familiar, and she enjoyed meeting the challenges of acquiring food, water and housing.But after six months, Lily had an accident that kept her from her usual activities. Afraid for her future, she set off as best she could on her bicycle to find another life. She asked around the nearest town, and found a job housekeeping. When she was no longer needed there, she was directed to another housekeeping job in the area. Here, she cooked and cleaned, and attended high school. And she dated a "cool guy" called A.J. who was the occupants' nephew and lived in the their house. That is, he lived there until he was arrested for armed robbery.Finally, with the aid of friends, Lily entered college, where she met her future husband, Bill. He persuaded her to take him to meet her parents. Their visit was met with anger and hate. Bill then understood why Lily had been reluctant to return.Afterwards, Lily and Bill married and lived happily ever after.
