The book covers:

• Approaches disorders including PMS, painful, heavy, irregular menstruation, PCOS, infertility, and pregnancy-related issues from a TCM perspective

• Demonstrates how emotional health is as important as physical health
• Summarizes many research and clinical studies
• Discusses other health issues including insomnia, incontinence, vaginal itching, heart disease, and headaches

The article “The 11 Best Foods You Aren’t Eating” featuring CCNH graduate and faculty Jonny Bowden recently appeared on The New York Times’s list of most-viewed stories for 2009. Way to go Jonny!
Read the 1st food item you should be eating, and then follow the link to find out more:
Nutritionist and author Jonny Bowden has created several lists of healthful foods people should be eating but aren’t. But some of his favorites, like purslane, guava and goji berries, aren’t always available at regular grocery stores. I asked Dr. Bowden, author of “The 150 Healthiest Foods on Earth,” to update his list with some favorite foods that are easy to find but don’t always find their way into our shopping carts. Here’s his advice.
1. Beets: Think of beets as red spinach, Dr. Bowden said, because they are a rich source of folate as well as natural red pigments that may be cancer fighters.
How to eat: Fresh, raw and grated to make a salad. Heating decreases the antioxidant power.

 I Don't Go with Fat Boys: Weight Loss for People who Love to Eat Scott Smith is a Doctor of Natural Health student at Clayton College of Natural Health who recently co-authored the book I Don’t Go with Fat Boys: Weight Loss for People who Love to Eat. The book, which Smith wrote with Dr. Doug Pray, DC, is now available on Amazon.com.
“Writing this book was a great opportunity for me to apply the natural health knowledge I’ve gained at CCNH,” said Smith.
The book chronicles Dr. Pray’s lifelong struggles with yo-yo dieting and his development of a weight loss plan that really works – even for people who love to eat!
Our nation is in the midst of an obesity epidemic fueled by the widespread consumption of unhealthy, processed foods. Based the latest nutritional research, Smith’s book debunks popular fad diets and presents a plan for holistic weight loss that revolves around eating natural foods, exercising regularly, and maintaining a healthy attitude. It also explains how environmental toxins can impede weight loss and how to flush these pervasive toxins from the body.
“The book covers all the basics of natural health – proper diet, pure water, fresh air, sunlight, exercise, and rest,” Smith said. “It explores the healing power of plants as well as the healing power of the human mind. I hope that people will read this book and not only lose weight but also unlock their potential to live a long, healthy, happy life.”
Scott Smith is a professional writer who specializes in developing content for health and wellness websites. He also sells home water filters through his ecommerce company, AmbrosiaWaterFilters.com.
