When Miles Foster received his teaching degree, he dreamed of obtaining a position in the highly respected and financially stable Portland, Oregon school system. Portland was where he and his wife called home-a place where everything a person could want or need was available. Soon Miles had to face the unwelcomed reality that there were no job openings in Portland. Even worse, the closest available position was in a remote lumber mill town nearly two hundred miles away in central Oregon. Far from the dream job he had anticipated, Miles took the position, which was in an impoverished school with forty students-students who had been passed along despite the sub-par education they had received. Adding to his challenge was a school board with a controlling superintendent-a jealous man who was intolerant of any teaching outside the box, and who became intent on destroying Miles and his teaching career. In THE PATH OF THE WIND, Miles must find a way to effectively educate his students and defeat the damaging control of the superintendent without losing his job, his marriage, or both.

Each disorder is explained, and its alternative pain treatments detailed. Part Two offers twenty-seven drug-free therapies.

* Winner of the IBPA Benjamin Franklin Award for Best Health TitleIn the United States alone, 26 million adults have chronic kidney disease (CKD), and experts project that over half the country may develop CKD due to rising rates of disorders such as diabetes. While nephrologists can monitor kidney function and treat patients with medications, they can't always offer the nutritional guidance that every kidney patient requires. To fill this information gap, Dr. Mandip Kang has written The Doctor's Kidney Diets, a comprehensive guide to managing, slowing down, and even stopping the progression of CKD through diet.The book is divided into two parts. Part One provides a clear overview of kidney function, kidney disease, and the role that nutrition plays in the treatment of kidney problems. The doctor then reviews the special dietary considerations of individuals with CKD, including the need to limit certain nutrients, fluids, and other dietary components. Because different patients have different nutritional requirements, the doctor discusses the most commonly prescribed CKD diets--the DASH diet, heart disease and diabetes diets, diets for dialysis, and more--and concludes with important tips for enhancing overall health and maximizing treatment success. Then Part Two offers a wide variety of recipes for dishes that follow the dietary guidelines highlighted in Part One.Smart nutrition is essential to the treatment of kidney disease. With The Doctor's Kidney Diets, you can become an active, effective participant in your own treatment plan.
