For over three decades, medical researchers have been extolling the many health benefits of a fatty acid called omega-3. Within omega-3 are three essential fatty acids: EPA, DHA, and ALA. These substances are called "essential" because they are absolutely necessary for the proper function of the body. And the range of tasks they perform is truly staggering: They protect against heart attacks, they lower blood pressure and cholesterol, they reduce arthritis and premenstrual pain, they improve memory and stave off depression, and they fight wrinkles and skin disorders. They arefound in plant foods, such as seeds and nuts, and in cold water fish, such as salmon, but new research shows that there is a more potent and absorbable source of omega-3 that may offer greater protection. Written by best-selling author Dennis Goodman, MD, The Thrill of Krillis the first book to provide a clear understanding of why krill oil is a must for everyone interested in restoring and maintaining optimum health.Krill are tiny shrimp-like creatures found in the ocean. To a great extent, they make up the diet of most sea life, from whales and seals to squids and fish. Krill oil is to marine life what fish oil is to human life¯except that krill oil is far superior to fish oil. Studies show that while fish oil is slow to be absorbed by the human body, krill oil is quickly absorbed into the bloodstream. In THE THRILL OF KRILL, Dr. Goodman explores the latest research on krill, details the individual health benefits krill oil provides, and explains the differences between available krill oils. Also included is a resource section that will enable you to learn more about krill.With so many nutritional supplements on store shelves, it''s hard to know which one can make a real difference to your health.

Doyle's World is no ordinary book. It is instead a work that deciphers the cryptic origins and actual scientifi c methods used by fi ction's most famous detective, Sherlock Holmes--and provides a detailed look into the psyche and working life of Holmes' creator, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Revealed here for the fi rst time--by son-father writing team Daniel Friedman, MD, and Eugene Friedman, MD--are the inspirations behind the physical, emotional, and intellectual characteristics that Doyle wove together so deftly to bring his legendary sleuth to life. The authors o er research-based answers to such intriguing questions as: ■ From whom did Sherlock Holmes actually learn the art of detective work? ■ Why did Doyle kill off Sherlock Holmes-- and how did the country of Japan inspire how he brought his famous detective back to life after nearly a decade? ■ What story elements did Doyle borrow from Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island? ■ How did Doyle apply his fervent belief in Spiritualism to a variety of Holmes stories? ■ Who inspired Doyle to write about civil rights after a steamship journey in 1882? ■ How did the women in Doyle's life come to influence the relationships with women that both Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson have across sixty written adventures? The book is divided into three sections. The fi rst is dedicated to the elements--both good and bad--that comprised Doyle's childhood and early adult years, and how an assemblage of persons and places and things from his life found their way into his literature. The second section emphasizes the complex themes and plots present in the Sherlock Holmes adventures, while it also examines some of Doyle's strengths--and weaknesses--as a public fi gure of his time. And in the book's concluding part, the authors o er two "lost" stories they uncovered that were written by Doyle under a pseudonym. Doyle's World is a work of rich detail and in-depth scholarship that should win over established fans of Doyle and devoted "Sherlockians" everywhere--and which should engage, and entertain, all others who enter this intriguing hall of literary mirrors.

The health benefits of marijuana are now getting a good deal of attention. Yet hemp--a close relative of marijuana--is actually a far richer source of CBD, the compound responsible for effectively treating dozens of disorders, and contains very little THC, the substance responsible for marijuana's highs.
