WHAT DO THESE THREE BOOKS HAVE IN COMMON?

POWER FOODS FOR THE BRAIN by Neal D. Barnard, M.D.


"Could your breakfast or lunch be harming your memory? Are you missing out on the foods that could prevent Alzheimer's disease?

Everyone knows good nutrition supports your overall health, but few realize that certain foods-power foods-can protect your brain and optimize its function, and even dramatically reduce your risk of Alzheimer's Disease. Now, New York Times bestselling author, clinical researcher and health advocate Dr. Neal Barnard has gathered the most up-to-date research and created a groundbreaking program that can strengthen your memory and protect your brain's health."


HEALING IS POSSIBLE by Neil Nathan, M.D.


"... In Healing Is Possible, Dr. Nathan identifies the twelve major imbalances in the body that often contribute to chronic and/or complex illnesses, such as chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia. Unfortunately, these balances are often overlooked or ignored by mainstream medicine. By identifying and treating these imbalances-which he calls the "Big Six" and "Little Six"-symptoms often improve or resolve completely. 

THE AUTISM MOM'S SURVIVAL GUIDE (FOR DADS TOO!) by Susan Senator

"Given the daily challenges of raising a child with autism, it’s easy for parents to lose themselves and for their overall quality of life to plummet. Susan Senator interweaves the voices of autism parents, researchers, and professionals to offer guidance and encouragement on how to find happiness and fulfillment in the midst of the struggles of raising an autistic child. Topics include: how to handle feelings of despair and hopelessness; finding fun, even during turbulent times; caring for your marriage; and finding a balance between accepting your child as he or she is and seeking new treatments."

So what do these books have in common? They are part of a new health and wellness collection, generously provided by a grant from New Milford Hospital.  The collection is located on the small bookshelf by the end computer behind the reference desk.  

If you're out tonight, stop by the library at 7:00 p.m. to hear about the healing benefits of acupuncture, and about the new health database, also provided by New Milford Hospital:  Consumer Health Complete.
