The Energy Equation - Craig Robinson, Sarah Myhill
Energy as a foundation of good health—how we can get it and keep itWhether we are elite athletes, office workers, or students struggling with assignments, we all need energy and can only optimise our performance with optimal energy levels. And if our energy demand exceeds our energy supply we eventually have to stop. In her NHS and then independent medical practice, Dr Myhill has increasingly specialised in helping patients with pathologically low levels of energy. Through this she has learned of the centrality of having sufficient energy to live well and stay healthy, and of balancing energy generation with energy use. In this, her simplest and most readable account of the fundamentals of good health, supported by editor and former patient Craig Robinson, Dr Myhill provides all we need to ensure the energy equation is resolving in our favour.

Diagnosis and Treatment of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Myalgic Encephalitis and Long Covid THIRD EDITION - Craig Robinson, Sarah Myhill
The third, completely revised and updated, edition of the ultimate guide to energy – how we get it and how we spend it – for all patients with chronic fatigue syndrome, myalgic encephalitis and long COVID.Since the first edition of this book appeared, mainstream medicine has come up with nothing new that will help patients with chronic fatigue despite the recognition of long COVID – symptom-suppressing painkillers and antidepressants remain the mainstay. In the seven years since the second edition was published both new research and new clinical findings have meanwhile thrown increasing weight behind Dr Sarah Myhill’s approach that focuses on the body’s energy delivery systems and its energy use.In this third edition, Dr Myhill, now supported by expert patient Craig Robinson, has completely revised and updated her practical guidance on how to improve the former with diet, supplements and other lifestyle measures and how to address energy wastage through traditional approaches including methylene blue, DMSO and photodynamic therapy, and how to re-program the immune system with micro-immunotherapy.Following continued harassment by the UK’s General Medical Council, Dr Myhill has de-registered and through this third edition we are beneficiaries of the fruits of that change as her focus is evermore ...

The Adrenal Thyroid Revolution - Aviva Romm
A Yale-trained, board-certified family physician with a specialty in women's health and obstetrics delivers a proven 28-day functional medicine program to heal the overwhelmed, overloaded systems, and prevent and reverse the myriad of symptoms affecting the vast majority of women today. Weight gain, fatigue, brain fog, hormonal imbalances, and autoimmune conditions—for years, health practitioners have commonly viewed each as individual health problems resulting from a patient’s genetic bad luck, poor lifestyle choices, or lack of willpower. Patients, too, have turned to different doctors to alleviate their specific symptoms: an endocrinologist for a thyroid problem; a gynecologist for hormonal issues; an internist for weight, diabetes, and high blood pressure; a rheumatologist for joint problems, and even to therapists or psychologists. While these ailments may seem unrelated, Dr. Aviva Romm contends that they are intrinsically connected by what she calls Survival Overdrive Syndrome, a condition that occurs when the body becomes overloaded. SOS can result from childhood survival patterns or adult life stressors that are compounded by foods we eat, toxins in our environment, viral infections, lack of sleep, disrupted gut microflora, chronic inflammation, and even prescribed medications. Two of the systems most affected are the adrenal system and the thyroid, which ... Unknown localization key: "more"

It was family separation and ''kids in cages'' that drove Sarah Towle to the U.S. southern border. On discovering the many-headed hydra that is the U.S. immigration system - and the heroic determination of those caught under its knee - she could never look away again. Crossing the Line: Finding America in the Borderlands charts Sarah''s journey from outrage to activism to abolition as she exposes, layer by ''broken'' layer, the global deterrence to detention to deportation complex that is failing everyone - save the profiteers and demagogues who benefit from it.

This wonderful book charts a journey to some of the most beautiful and tranquil places on earth, and introduces us to people whose inner peace is a balm for our troubled times. I loved every page of it." - Nicholas HytnerSuffering from information overload, unable to sleep, Sarah Sands, former editor of the BBC''s Today programme, has tried many different strategies to de-stress... only to reject them because, as she says, all too often they threaten to become an exercise in self-absorption.Inspired by the ruins of an ancient Cistercian abbey at the bottom of her Norfolk garden, she begins to research the lives of the monks who once resided there, and realises how much we may have to learn from monasticism.Renouncing the world, monks and nuns have acquired a hidden knowledge of how to live: they labour, they learn and they acquire ''the interior silence''. This book is a quest for that hidden knowledge - a pilgrimage to ten monasteries round the world.From a Coptic desert community in Egypt to a retreat in the Japanese mountains, we follow Sands as she ...

The Beautiful Indifference - Sarah Hallová
''Fierce and sensuous.'' Guardian ''Exquisitely crafted.'' Sunday Telegraph ''Astonishing . . . A writer of rare vision and talent.'' Sunday Times From the speed and heat of summer London, to the heathered fells and lowlands of Cumbria with their history of smouldering violence, to an eerily still lake in the Finnish wilderness, Sarah Hall evokes landscapes with extraordinary precision and grace. The characters within these territories are real-life survivors, but whether it''s a frustrated housewife seeking extreme experience or a young woman contemplating the death of her lover, dark devices and desires rise to the surface. And the human body, too - flawed, visceral, and full of emotional conflict - provides a sensuous frame for each unfolding drama.Uniquely disturbing and deeply erotic, this collection confirms Sarah Hall as one of the greatest writers of her generation.

''An excellent and intelligent investigation of the realities of urban living that respond to no design or directive... This is a book about the nature of London itself'' Peter Ackroyd, The TimesA powerful exploration of the seedy side of Victorian London by one of our most promising young historians.In 1887 government inspectors were sent to investigate the Old Nichol, a notorious slum on the boundary of Bethnal Green parish, where almost 6,000 inhabitants were crammed into thirty or so streets of rotting dwellings and where the mortality rate ran at nearly twice that of the rest of Bethnal Green. Among much else they discovered that the decaying 100-year-old houses were some of the most lucrative properties in the capital for their absent slumlords, who included peers of the realm, local politicians and churchmen. The Blackest Streets is set in a turbulent period of London''s history when revolution was in the air.
