2007 | 143 Pages | ISBN: 0275994686 | PDF | 2 MB
This is a very helpful-and very human- discussion of MS and the havoc it can introduce into one's life. As a first-hand book, written by someone who has traveled down that road, it can be enormously valuable to those diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis.There are many books out there that help one deal with this subject. There are books on Nutrition, Diet, Exercise, Ayurvedic Medicine, Yoga, Herbals, wholistics, etc. Most often, these are written by health care workers, rather than by patients themselves. Do a quick search on Amazon & you'll come up with a lot of titles. Where to start? This book is a helpful discussion of the traditional medical approaches to MS. It has clearly been documented that people taking the A,B,C, R of traditional MS therapy have positively impacted their illness. (Avonex, Beta Seron, Copaxone, Rebif). However, as MS does not behave uniformly in everyone, a multi-disciplinary approach encompassing both traditional and alternative will hopefully be of benefit. Number One- Do No Harm!The author of this book, Dr. Kym Orsetti Furney MD, offers a traditional and valuable perspective on this subject. Dr. Furney has a very pleasant and readable writing style.This book is possibly most helpful to those newly diagnosed -once they are ready to read about MS.Other helpful ways to approach this chronic new lifestyle can be through some other very good avenues:Books: A great place to start: *Symptom Management in Multiple Sclerosis (Paperback)~ Randall T.

Weight Gain During Pregnancy: Reexamining the Guidelines By Committee to Reexamine IOM Pregnancy Weight Guidelines, Institute of Medicine, National Research Council, Kathleen M. Rasmussen, Ann L. Yaktine
2009 | 695 Pages | ISBN: 0309131138 | PDF | 4 MB
As women of childbearing age have become heavier, the trade-off between maternal and child health created by variation in gestational weight gain has become more difficult to reconcile. Weight Gain During Pregnancy responds to the need for a reexamination of the 1990 Institute of Medicine guidelines for weight gain during pregnancy. It builds on the conceptual framework that underscored the 1990 weight gain guidelines and addresses the need to update them through a comprehensive review of the literature and independent analyses of existing databases. The book explores relationships between weight gain during pregnancy and a variety of factors (e.g., the mother's weight and height before pregnancy) and places this in the context of the health of the infant and the mother, presenting specific, updated target ranges for weight gain during pregnancy and guidelines for proper measurement. New features of this book include a specific range of recommended gain for obese women. Weight Gain During Pregnancy is intended to assist practitioners who care for women of childbearing age, policy makers, educators, researchers, and the pregnant women themselves to understand the role of gestational weight gain and to provide them with the tools needed to promote optimal pregnancy outcomes.
