    A revolutionary program that can indefinitely postpone the need for dialysis

    If you've been diagnosed with kidney failure, this book could save your life. If you suffer from diabetes, hypertension, obesity, or any of a host of conditions that put you at risk for kidney disease, you owe it to yourself to read what is in this book. If you are among the 60,000 North Americans who go on dialysis each year, the information in this book could substantially improve your quality of life.

    In Coping with Kidney Disease, a leading expert tells you, in plain English, what you need to know to:
    * Understand kidney failure
    * Recognize early warning signs of kidney failure
    * Get a proper diagnosis
    * Talk with your doctors about it
    * Confidently evaluate treatment options
    * Take charge of your treatment
    * Delay dialysis or even avoid the need for it altogether


    The centerpiece of Coping with Kidney Disease is Dr. Walser's revolutionary 12-step program for avoiding dialysis. Based on treatments he has pioneered with his own patients at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, the program calls for a supplemented low-protein diet supported by treatments to control blood pressure and correct high cholesterol. So effective has this breakthrough strategy proven to be that in many patients it actually worked to slow or arrest the progression of kidney failure to the end stage.

    Knowledge is power. Coping with Kidney Disease empowers you with what you need to take charge of kidney disease.

    With the potential for self-renewal and differentiation, the possibilities for stem cells are enormous. One specific type of stem cell, the hematopoietic progenitor cell (HPC), which is derived from umbilical cord blood (as well as adult bone marrow and mobilized peripheral blood), holds particular promise. To make the most of these HPCs, the Institute of Medicine was asked to consider the optimal structure for a national cord blood program and to address pertinent issues related to maximizing the potential of stem cell technology. Cord Blood: Establishing a National Hematopoietic Stem Cell Bank Program examines:

  • The role of cord blood in stem cell transplantation
  • The current status of blood banks already in existence
  • The optimal structure for the cord blood program
  • The current use and utility of cord blood for stem cell transplants
  • The best way to advance the use of cord blood units and make them available for research
  • Expert advice from leaders in the fields of economics, public health, medicine, and biostatistics combine to make this very timely and topical book useful to a number of stakeholders.

    Close to 2 million women have discovered Gary Heavin's secret to permanent weight loss at the nearly six thousand Curves fitness and weight-loss centers around the country. There, they've discovered that in thirty minutes, three times a week, and without a restrictive diet, they can take their weight off and keep it off for good. Now, for the first time, Gary Heavin brings this remarkable program directly to you in his first book for the general public. Here's what you'll find in "Curves"
    * the exercise program: thirty minutes a day-no more than three times a week;
    * a combination of strength-training and aerobics that can be done at home or at the Curves center;
    * a temporary diet plan that produces permanent results;
    * questionnaires to determine if you're calorie sensitive or carbohydrate sensitive, helping you to individualize your food plan;
    * a unique maintenance plan that allows you to eat full portions after the initial weight loss; and
    * a coupon for one free week at any "Curves" center in the country. (good for one-week membership at any Curves location, new members only, must be 18 years or older)
    Gary Heavin's revolutionary plan reprograms the metabolism to absorb 2,500 to 3,000 calories per day. That means full portions without gaining weight. And you'll see major results within two weeks.
