Ebola 2014 by Leah Roberts

The 2013-2014 Ebola outbreak has created a need for a complete resource that can be understood by both medical personnel and those outside of the medical field. This is a comprehensive and current summary of information available about Ebola at this time.

The Ebola outbreak that began in December 2013 has garnered the concern of the global community. There have been many questions about this disease as the numbers of cases and death tolls continue to rise. Many rumors have surfaced and there are those profiting on the sale of protective equipment by amplifying those aspects about the disease and its sequences of events that cause fear. There has long been a need for a short but thorough reference for Ebola and this was the motive behind this publication. Information contained in this reference is cited to additional resources that provide more in-depth knowledge for those interested. The topics covered are current, comprehensive, fact-based and do not attempt to convey blame or sell products. Knowing about this virus, the disease it causes, and the improvisation used in Africa should provide a strong basis for managing and containing the outbreak in Africa as well as other countries where travel introduces the disease. Knowledge is power and this short resource provides that to its readers with a complete list of all of the references and their links where appropriate.

Healthy Pancreas, Healthy You. Part 3. How to Improve the Exocrine Pancreatic Function, Postpone Pancreatic Deterioration, and Heal Digestive (Pancreatic) Disorders by Peter Melamed

This book is for patients and medical providers, to explain nondrug treatments of the digestive (pancreatic) and metabolic disorders. There is no proper digestion without proper pancreatic function. Healing mineral water, acupuncture, herbs, supplements, enzymes, probiotics, and even abdominal massage, exercises, and hypnosis can be extremely useful for pancreas and the whole health.

This book is the practical guide to healing liver, gallbladder and pancreatic disorders, IBS, GERD, sphincter of Oddy dysfunction, metabolic syndrome, overweight, diabetes, metabolic acidosis, fatty liver and pancreas, food allergy, Candida-yeast overgrowth, Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth, etc.



This book focuses on the many ways, to improve the functions of the pancreas without drugs and surgeries. Medical doctors and health professionals all over the globe have used holistic approaches for hundreds of years, for millions of patients, to improve the digestive (pancreatic) health. The authors emphatically believe that healing methods described in this book can improve the quality of life and life span of sufferers of digestive and metabolic pancreatic diseases.



Pancreas is not an “accessory” digestive gland; all gastrointestinal health and metabolism critically depends upon the proper functioning of this vital organ.



Every year, 87,000 cases of pancreatitis occur in the USA. This is only the tip of the iceberg of digestive (pancreatic) diseases. Most attacks of pancreatitis are mild and go undiagnosed. Acute, chronic pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer are diseases on the rise. In almost all chronic diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, exocrine pancreatic function is diminished. Some studies indicate pancreatic abnormalities in 13% of a “normal” population.

Various experts consider that 8% of diabetes mellitus cases are caused by chronic pancreatitis. A large number of diabetics silently suffer from digestive problems, as well. The epidemic of obesity leads to a rise in epidemic proportions of fatty liver and fatty pancreas. The authors believe that the pandemic of digestive (pancreatic) disorders is strongly interrelated with the pandemics of metabolic acidosis and dysbiosis.



Medical providers can help their patients by focusing on early stages of the pancreatic disorders. Therefore, authors propose that the practical, clinical classification of the exocrine pancreatic deficiency stages be the following: functional, structural, and final. For each of these stages, the readers will find healing programs and practical recommendations.



This book is unusual because all of the chapters include two sections: the first breaks down the medical issues into simple words for people without a medical background, the next section addresses people with a medical background. This last section is for doctors, health care practitioners, and people to want to examine serious medical research about pancreatic health.



Reader will learn how to heal many digestive (pancreatic) disorders in their early stages by utilizing a number of proven, nondrug methods. One approach that is virtually unknown in the US is drinking healing mineral water prepared from genuine Karlovy Vary spring salt at home. Millions of people around the world have used this “miracle” mineral water to aid digestive health for more than 250 years. Reader may be surprised to learn that acupuncture, herbal remedies, nutritional supplementation, visceral massage, hypnosis, whole body cleansing with the restoration of friendly intestinal flora, colon hydrotherapy, and special exercises may help relieve many digestive disorders.



Some topics about pancreatic health in this book are new. To convince the conservative readers, we provide more than 300 referrals from respectful and well-known professors, researchers, medical doctors, and health practitioners from all over the world.



The authors hope that this book will be useful to not only many different health professionals such as medical doctors, naturopathic physicians, RNs, chiropractors, herbalists, acupuncturists, nutritionists, and colon hydro therapists and, but also and most importantly, for the hundreds and thousands of sufferers with the digestive (pancreatic) disorders.

Healthy Pancreas, Healthy You. Part II. Healing Foods in the Digestive (Pancreatic) Disorders by Peter Melamed

Can we naturally increase pancreatic function and relieve many digestive and metabolic disorders by using healthy foods? Pancreas is a core for digestion. This book is the practical guide to healing liver, gallbladder and pancreatic disorders, IBS, GERD, metabolic syndrome, overweight, diabetes, allergy, Candida, acidity by healing foods. What to eat is as effective as when to eat and how to eat.

Millions of people suffer from a variety of gastrointestinal disorders including abdominal pain, stomach discomfort, cramps, gas, bloating, heartburn, cravings, malnutrition, alteration in bowel habits, foul-smelling stool, etc. Many of these sufferers have pancreatic deficiency and do not realize it. Their organisms are literally starving because the pancreas is a core for the proper digestion.



Those suffering from pancreatic deficiency can eat a healthy diet, but their bodies will not properly utilize the food’s nutrients. Pancreatic deficiency leads to serious disturbances of the gastrointestinal tract and the entire organism. Some individuals’ can be overweight; nevertheless, their bodies can have severe malnutrition. Millions of people feel continually tired, have chronic diseases, and age prematurely. In the worst case scenario, they get pancreatic cancer.



Without the proper amount, and good quality of pancreatic digestive enzymes, even the “healthiest” diet in the world will not make people healthy, good looking and young.

The basic guidelines of eating for healthy pancreas do not include starvation or fasting, complicated advices or counting of calories and do not require strict vegetarianism. All that is needed are healthy, tasty, and simple natural foods full of natural digestive enzymes.



In part 2 of “Healthy Pancreas, Healthy You” authors describe the connections between food consumption, pancreas and dyspepsia, IBS, sphincter of Oddi dysfunction, GERD, gallbladder stones, pancreatitis, metabolic syndrome, overweight, diabetes, dysbiosis, metabolic acidosis.

This book is unusual because all of the chapters include two sections: the first breaks down the medical issues into simple, clear words “for individuals lacking a medical background”, the second addresses for individuals with medical backgrounds. This last section is for doctors, health care practitioners, and people to examine serious medical research about pancreatic health.



There is an English Proverb: “Don’t dig your grave with your knife and fork”.

This book will attempt to prove the validity of this proverb and give directions to pancreatic health by:

1. Supplying the body with natural digestive enzymes from food by using raw, natural foods or slow cooking in a thermos, sprouting, blending, juicing, and proper chewing

2. Strengthening the pancreas and whole body with the right ratio of minerals, vitamins, essential amino acids and essential fatty acids

3. Keeping the proper body’s acid-alkaline balance. The pancreas and liver are alkaline glands. Certain diets create an unnatural switch to whole body acidity - metabolic acidosis that is harmful for pancreatic health and the entire digestive system, as well as, the whole body Acidity kills the pancreas.

4. Maintaining the proper ecology inside the GI tract

All these suggestions are interrelated and equally important.



This book is the practical guide to healing liver, gallbladder and pancreatic disorders, IBS, GERD, metabolic syndrome, overweight, diabetes, acidity, fatty liver and pancreas, allergy, Candida, Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth, by using appropriate foods. What to eat is as important as when to eat and how to eat. You will also recognize, why water is the best friend of the pancreas. Pancreatic deficiency, like all disorders, has three stages such as functional, structural, and failure. Three stages of the pancreatic deficiency require different healing foods.
