The Vitamin D Cure, James Dowd (book), MD & Diane Stafford
Based on the latest scientific research, the breakthrough way to lose weight, stop pain, and prevent disease.
We've long known that healthy Vitamin D levels are related to strong bones, but several recent peer-reviewed scientific studies
have clearly shown that Vitamin D also decreases our risk of getting overweight and developing high blood pressure, diabetes,
heart disease, arthritis, cancer, and other health problems. This book-the only one of its kind-introduces a simple plan to
increase Vitamin D levels in the body through simple, individualized supplementation with Vitamin D, carefully increased sun
exposure, and exercise. Through its clear and down-to-earth five-step plan, The Vitamin D Cure shows how variations in our diet
and activity levels can have a profound impact on our health and well-being. This groundbreaking program provides a broad variety
of benefits: readers can increase their energy, lose weight, improve their mood, and reduce their pain.

Queen Bees and Wannabes: Helping Your Daughter Survive Cliques Gossip, Boyfriends, and Other Realities of Adolescence (book),
Rosalind Wiseman
Wiseman (Defending Ourselves: Prevention, Self-Defense, and Recovery from Rape), offers parents a guide to navigating the
adolescent landscape. Acting as a liaison between "Girl World" and "Planet Parent," Wiseman helps parents understand their
daughters' friendships, the power of cliques and the roles of girls within them (including Queen Bee, Sidekick, Torn Bystander,
Messenger and Target). She outlines parenting styles (from "The Lock-Her-in-a-Closet Parent" to "The Loving-Hard-Ass Parent") and
offers tips on talking to teens ("Don't use the slang your daughter uses"). The second half concentrates on boys, sex and drugs
as well as what to do if your daughter needs professional help. Within each chapter, "Check Your Baggage" sections challenge
parents to recognize their own biases and remember what it was like when they were teens; as well, Wiseman offers scripts for
discussing difficult issues and advice on how to deal with them. The author also forthrightly addresses the issue of
homosexuality. To wit, a "Homophobic Questionnaire" that turns the tables on parents with questions such as "What do you think
caused your heterosexuality?" Wiseman's straightforward humor, sound advice and practical approach make this a must-read for
anyone involved in the lives of teenage girls.
