Learn how to curb your cravings with the help of the bestselling author of The 5-Day Miracle Diet. Do you have stubborn extra pounds that won’t budge? A chronic lack of energy? High blood pressure or cholesterol? Does type 2 diabetes run in your family? If you answered yes to these questions, you are probably suffering from insulin resistance--a metabolic mix-up that controls your body chemistry, fueling your cravings and starving your cells. Over the past five years, Adele Puhn, MS, CNS, has tested and perfected the natural, nutritionally based answer to this problem with her celebrity and CEO clients, and men and women from all walks of life. From that research, she has come up with The Carb-Careful Solution. The secret is a simple, a cutting-edge eating plan that controls blood sugar and limits carbohydrates carefully and selectively. Carbs, fats, sugars, and proteins are all included in moderation, but carefully timed and paired to maintain stable blood sugar throughout the day. This easy-to-follow plan teaches you to eat in a different way, without unrealistic restrictions. In the process your body learns to metabolize carbohydrates efficiently, getting rid of that extra ten or fifteen pounds, as well as the tell-tale "apple shape." The Carb-Careful Solution is the road map to controlling the chemistry that has been controlling you. “Loaded with practical and difficult-to-find information that will help you lose weight and ensure your health on all levels.” --Christiane Northrup, MD

Methods in Mycoplasmology, Volume I: Mycoplasma Characterization is the first of a two-volume series that resulted from cumulative efforts to meet the need for standardized techniques in mycoplasmology. The book is organized into five sections. Section A provides an introduction to the mycoplasmas by discussing their characteristics and classification, mycoplasma-animal host interrelationships, and mycoplasma-plant-insect interrelationships. The chapters in Section B examine the morphological and ultrastructural features of mycoplasmas, using techniques such as phase-contrast microscopy, dark-field microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. Section C discusses the cultivation and nutrition of mycoplasmas. Section D focuses on analytical methods for the characterization of mycoplasmas, including harvest and washing procedures, cell lysis and membrane isolation, and crossed immunoelectrophoresis. Section E describes tests designed to detect specific enzymatic activities or nutritional requirements of mycoplasmas. These include sugar fermentation and arginine hydrolysis tests as well as tests to establish the sterol requirement of mycoplasmas. Section F deals with serological tests. These tests either have specific application to detection of mycoplasma antigens or antibody in plant and animal tissues; are useful in identification of specific groups of mycoplasmas (spiroplasmas); or provide higher sensitivity in measurements of antibodies against mycoplasmas.

The development of new asymmetric catalytic methods is of fundamental importance to industrial synthetic chemistry. The demand for optically pure synthetic intermediates and the drive to adopt greener methods of synthesis have stimulated a growing interest in biocatalysis as a selective and environmentally benign synthetic technique. Practical Biotransformations: A Beginner's Guide provides an introduction to microbes and enzymes and demonstrates their practical applications in synthetic organic chemistry. Designed as a laboratory manual, this user-friendly guide discusses standard laboratory techniques, with appropriate advice on aspects of microbial practice and associated safety. Topics covered include: An introduction to equipment in a biotransformations laboratory An overview of biocatalyst sources Maintenance and growth of biocatalysts Example biotransformations using commercially available microbes and enzymes Basic gene cloning and the use of ‘designer’ biocatalysts This book will be a valuable resource for synthetic organic chemists with little or no experience of biochemistry or microbiology. It is the author’s hope that this text will inspire readers to consider biocatalytic methods as real alternatives to traditional synthetic solutions.

For over a decade health and wellness expert, Peter Greenlaw, has studied the top researchers. His review of research looked at the effects on human health of environmental toxins, nutritional deficiency, overweight, and stress. Now he connects the dots showing how the interconnections are amplifying these four health-robbing co-factors—Toxicity, Deficiency, Overweight, Stress—into a deadly syndrome that’s killing us. How can the human race absorb and process over 700 tons of toxins from the air we breathe every day? What happens as we consume hormones, steroids, pesticides, antibiotics and birth control chemicals in every glass of water? Why are there 275 lethal toxins found in newborn babies? And girls as young as three are showing signs of puberty? Connect the dots to see how toxins + depleted nutrients + overweight + stress adds up to the perfect storm that's costing us our health. Until Peter Greenlaw, the “researcher on researchers,” connected the dots, no one acknowledged the big picture...and sounded the alarm. Now, the facts are clear. The entire spectrum of research tells a bigger health story than we’ve been led to believe. Disregard these facts at your peril. Peter Greenlaw has gained enormous support from top experts and authorities across the health and medical global community because he has dedicated his life to trying to answer the real questions. “Unless we can get enough of the right nutrition back into our bodies to fight this four-headed monster, we and our families will become weaker, sicker and die much earlier than anyone ever thought possible.”—Peter Greenlaw
