Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Complete Family Doctor The Author confesses no allegiance to any school but the school of Nature. Whatever acts in harmony with the natural laws of the human body as proven by many years of experience is here used regardless of any opposition or persecution which may be used against it by any of the differ ent schools of medicine whose pet hobbies may have been unceremoniously laid aside. It has not been the Au thor's aim to conciliate medical societies and combinations. His sole aim has been to save the patient. The heartless opposition of different schools of medicine - the desire to master and subdue all other schools has' in thousands of cases made them utterly regardless of the welfare of the patient. When asked what he would do in a given case by the Author, a popular physician said, I would lose my patient before I would violate the teachings of my school, even if I knew the teachings of another school would save him. The Author regards such a course and such a practice as that given above as little better than murder, and he regards it as one of the greatest duties of his professional life to throttle such practices in their stronghold.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Family Physician In offering this work to the consideration of the public, I feel that I am supplying a need which has long been felt, for a treatise on domestic medicine, which would meet the wants of all classes. It is written with a view more especially to the necessities of the farming community, and those living remote from towns, or where reliable medical assistance can not be obtained. There are many who can recall the time, when if such a work had been at hand, great suffering might have been relieved, or perchance a life have been saved. Our stay upon earth is but short at the best, and it is clearly the duty of every one to use all the means in his power to prolong his life to at least the allotted age of man. No one can tell when disease may strike, when an accident may sever an arte ry, and we should be always prepared for such emergencies. In the preparation of this work, I have endeavored to describe each disease in as plain and simple a manner as possible, avoiding so far as was in my power, the use of technical or scientific terms, and expressing myself in plain English, so that a child may under stand. Where any such terms are used (and it is sometimes im possible to avoid them) they are either explained at the time, or will be found in the Glossary.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old-Time Makers of Medicine: The Story of the Students and Teachers, of the Sciences Related to Medicine, During the Middle Ages The material for this book was gathered partly for lectures on the history of medicine at Fordham University School of Medicine, and partly for articles on a number of subjects in the Catholic En cyclopedia. Some of it was developed for a series of addresses at commencements of medical schools and before medical societies, @n the general topic how old the new is in surgery, medicine, dentistry, and pha information thus presented aroused interest, the accomplishments of the physicians and surgeons of a period that is usu ally thought quite sterile in medical science proved, indeed, so astonishing, that I was tempted to cont neot the details for a volume in the Fordham Uni versity Press series. There is no pretence to any original investigation in the history of medicine, nor to any extended consultation of original documents. I have had most of the great books that are men tioned in the course of this volume in my hands, and have given as much time to the study of them as could be afforded in the midst of a rather busy life, but I owe my information mainly to the distin guished German and French scholars who have in recent years made deep and serious studies of these Old Makers of Medicine, and I have made my ac knowledgments to them in the text as opportunity presented itself.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from On Sects in Medicine In the feudal times, as is well known, it was not uncommon for knights who had fought for their ladies, to commit the care of their wounds to the objects of their worship, who took good care always to be possessed of ointments of great repute, as well as charms and amulets of supposed healing virtue, in addition to their own tenderness and personal attractions. Thus armed with potent balms and stimulants, they always rivaled their aged mothers and ordi nary nurses; and at times even the priests and doctors, not only in the assiduity of their attentions, but in their real suc cess. In the time of Queen Elizabeth, however, all this was changed; for, when sundry poor and probably ugly old women, applied to the Royal College of Physicians and Sur geons for permission to employ their small talent in minister ing to the cure of diseases and wounds by means of certain herbs and simples; in the application whereof they boastfully stated that God himself had given them special knowledge; this was firmly and peremptorily refused, on the grounds.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Heirs of General Practice is a frieze of glimpses of young doctors with patients of every age—about a dozen physicians in all, who belong to the new medical specialty called family practice. They are people who have addressed themselves to a need for a unifying generalism in a world that has become greatly subdivided by specialization, physicians who work with the "unquantifiable idea that a doctor who treats your grandmother, your father, your niece, and your daughter will be more adroit in treating you." These young men and women are seen in their examining rooms in various rural communities in Maine, but Maine is only the example. Their medical objectives, their successes, the professional obstacles they do and do not overcome are representative of any place family practitioners are working. While essential medical background is provided, McPhee's masterful approach to a trend significant to all of us is replete with affecting, and often amusing, stories about both doctors and their charges.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Trust me; I’m a doctor” no longer has the credibility it once did. Nutritional therapy is often overlooked in medical school, and the information provided to physicians is often outdated. Advice to avoid healthy fats and stay out of the sun has been proven to be detrimental to longevity and wreak havoc on your system, and yet many doctors still regularly espouse this “wisdom.” What kind of advice is your doctor giving you? Is it possible you’re being misled? Dr. Ken Berry is here to dispel the myths and misinformation that have been perpetuated by the medical and food industries for decades. This updated and expanded edition of Dr. Berry’s bestseller Lies My Doctor Told Me exposes the truth behind all kinds of “lies” told by well-meaning but misinformed medical practitioners. In this book, Dr. Berry will enlighten you about nutrition and life choices, their role in your health, and how to begin an educated conversation with your doctor about finding the right path for you. This book is a survival kit on your journey through the confusing, and often misleading, world of conventional medicine and includes such topics as • How doctors are taught to think about nutrition and other preventative health measures—and how they should be thinking • How the Food Pyramid and MyPlate came into existence and why they should change • The facts about fat intake and heart health • The truth about the effects of whole wheat on the human body • The role of dairy in your diet • The truth about salt—friend or foe? • The dangers and benefits of hormone therapy • New information about inflammation and how it should be viewed by doctors Come out of the darkness and let Ken Berry be your guide to optimal health and harmony!

Book excerpt: A trailblazing, conversation-starting history of women’s health—from the earliest medical ideas about women’s illnesses to hormones and autoimmune diseases—brought together in a fascinating sweeping narrative. Elinor Cleghorn became an unwell woman ten years ago. She was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease after a long period of being told her symptoms were anything from psychosomatic to a possible pregnancy. As Elinor learned to live with her unpredictable disease she turned to history for answers, and found an enraging legacy of suffering, mystification, and misdiagnosis. In Unwell Women, Elinor Cleghorn traces the almost unbelievable history of how medicine has failed women by treating their bodies as alien and other, often to perilous effect. The result is an authoritative and groundbreaking exploration of the relationship between women and medical practice, from the "wandering womb" of Ancient Greece to the rise of witch trials across Europe, and from the dawn of hysteria as a catchall for difficult-to-diagnose disorders to the first forays into autoimmunity and the shifting understanding of hormones, menstruation, menopause, and conditions like endometriosis. Packed with character studies and case histories of women who have suffered, challenged, and rewritten medical orthodoxy—and the men who controlled their fate—this is a revolutionary examination of the relationship between women, illness, and medicine. With these case histories, Elinor pays homage to the women who suffered so strides could be made, and shows how being unwell has become normalized in society and culture, where women have long been distrusted as reliable narrators of their own bodies and pain. But the time for real change is long overdue: answers reside in the body, in the testimonies of unwell women—and their lives depend on medicine learning to listen.

Book excerpt: For over 10 years, while caring for more than 20,000 patients, Dr. Ken Berry has been researching the medical myths and outright lies told to patients by their doctors. From lies about the foods you should eat, to the medications you should take, you will be shocked at how little science backs up what your doctor has been telling you. Doctors often base advice they give you on no research at all. Prescription choices are frequently made based on a drug ad your doctor saw, or on tainted data given to him by a drug-rep from the drug company itself. Your doctor has been marketed to, sampled with, and threatened by big-food, big-pharma, and big-government for so long that his advice might actually be dangerous to your health. Now you have a resource for dissecting the lies from the truth. --

Book excerpt: The instant New York Times bestseller By the acclaimed author of In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts, a groundbreaking investigation into the causes of illness, a bracing critique of how our society breeds disease, and a pathway to health and healing. In this revolutionary book, renowned physician Gabor Maté eloquently dissects how in Western countries that pride themselves on their healthcare systems, chronic illness and general ill health are on the rise. Nearly 70 percent of Americans are on at least one prescription drug; more than half take two. In Canada, every fifth person has high blood pressure. In Europe, hypertension is diagnosed in more than 30 percent of the population. And everywhere, adolescent mental illness is on the rise. So what is really “normal” when it comes to health? Over four decades of clinical experience, Maté has come to recognize the prevailing understanding of “normal” as false, neglecting the roles that trauma and stress, and the pressures of modern-day living, exert on our bodies and our minds at the expense of good health. For all our expertise and technological sophistication, Western medicine often fails to treat the whole person, ignoring how today’s culture stresses the body, burdens the immune system, and undermines emotional balance. Now Maté brings his perspective to the great untangling of common myths about what makes us sick, connects the dots between the maladies of individuals and the declining soundness of society—and offers a compassionate guide for health and healing. Cowritten with his son Daniel, The Myth Of Normal is Maté’s most ambitious and urgent book yet.
