More than a million Americans will be diagnosed with cancer this year. Someone will be introduced to the world of caregiving for each and every new patient. Add thousands of AIDS, stroke, heart disease and Alzheimer's cases and you discover that there is an entire community of caregivers who have many of the same fears and concerns as the patients they care about. Patients become the immediate focus of attention by their medical team and by their families the minute they receive the diagnosis. They are bombarded with information about their disease, about treatment and about support groups. They are offered books and pamphlets and tapes and group sessions. Who is there to help the caregiver? Those who land the job of primary caregiver often have no experience in nursing, no knowledge of the medical jargon, and are prepared with nothing more substantial than their love for the patient. A Caregiver's Journey addresses both the practical and emotional issues facing the family. Many books and pamphlets recognize the caregiver but focus on the patient. This is a practical and helpful guide focusing on the specific concerns of the caregiver.

Several chronic health problems facing modern populations can be easily treated through the use of natural substances. Many of the ailments that people suffer from are related to lifestyles and diet. The immune system, for example, is the focus of tremendous scientific interest because of its relation to diseases such as cancer, leukemia, chronic fatigue syndrome, AIDS, and severe allergies. Yet the immune system can be weakened by pharmaceuticals. In contrast, the immune system is strengthened by herbs such as echinacea, astragalus, and reishi. In America, early settlers brought their folklore from Europe, adding it to the abundant knowledge of the Native American Indians, who had for centuries told tales of how the Great Spirit gave them certain medicinal plants to cure their people. With interest in herbal cures taken from medicinal plants growing, herbalists are once again gaining a respected place among healers. Do All Bugs Need Drugs? presents a step-by-step guide that explains how to treat common ailments at home using natural and herbal treatments. It also offers insightful, common sense health information, useful for anyone with chronic ailments who is searching for a natural way to manage their symptoms and pain.

The next time some well-meaning person tells me that I need to take care of myself, I'm going to say, "You're right why don't you come and stay with my mother for a few hours so I can get out?" Taking Care Of Mom: What I Learned That May Help You Help Your Aging Parent is F. N. Rosenstock's story of how her mother was abused in a nursing home, misdiagnosed by medical practitioners, and prescribed wrong medications, all of which caused immediate and long-term deterioration in her mother's physical, emotional, and mental health. When she realized she had to take control of her mother's healthcare and sort through the good and the bad, her life changed forever. Read how she learned to navigate the maze of elderly healthcare in America and benefit from what one daughter learned about taking care of her aging mother. This book is unlike others written about this subject because it is a realistic look at taking care of an aging parent authored by a hands-on, caregiving daughter, not a writer interviewing clinicians. No practitioners were interviewed. If you have an aging parent, take care of an aging parent, or intend to grow old yourself, this book is pertinent for you. Remember, taking care of an aging parent isn't for wimps!
