Book Description

Congratulations, you middle-aged baby. Look what you've grown-baggy arms and knee flaps! And is that a new tooth-or just a lovely cap? And what month did the new hair come in across your ears? A tongue-in-cheek celebration of middle age in the form of a traditional fill-in baby book, my middle-aged baby book is a perfect keepsake for both women ("Is it hot in here or is it just me?") and men ("remember, it's prostate, not prostrate"). It's an irreverent take on the shared symptoms of growing older. Beginning with vital statistics (car phone number, cholesterol count), it provides a permanent place to record memorable Firsts--first liver spot, first espousal of conservative opinions-and a place to remember favorite toys such as the Jeep, rowing machine, and the big screen TV with VCR. There's a middle-aged baby's Horoscope, Favorite Nursery Rhymes, and The Seven Stages on Men's Hair Loss. Thoughtfully printed on anti-glare paper, in large, easy-to-read type, the book is illustrated throughout in full color. Paper over board, Full-color illustration throughout, 96 pages, 8" x 8" .

5 out of 5 stars Irreverent? Yes. But Hilarious!.......2006-12-10

I recently bought this book for a female friend turning 40. Although some may find the irreverent language offensive, the fact is we all have particular bodily functions and we all eventually get gray hair--everywhere. No, I might not give this book to my prim Aunt Sophie, but for anyone who is playful and open to cheeky humor, it's a great gift.

1 out of 5 stars Disappointed.......2005-08-20

The title of this book sounded really funny and I/we were prepared to have a lot of laughs, but as soon as I thumbed through the book I had wanted to give to my son for his birthday, I realized the thoughts and jokes in it were totally inappropriate - not only for a gift for my son, but to share with any of the people I associate with - and we're fun-loving people who love to laugh. The content and the language in the book were not reflective of how I and my friends and family think or talk - so I returned the book and thank you for the credit on my billing.

5 out of 5 stars A Great Gag Gift for Those 45-65.......2000-07-15

Why don't middle-aged people have fun? Perhaps because they don't yet have a Middle-Aged Baby Book to put them in the mood.

Almost every parent has filled out one of those baby books that includes birth time, weight, pictures from the hospital, first birthday party, favorite toys, and so on. Why shouldn't the middle aged have one, too? . . . Especially since their memories may be going, and this will be the only way to record their lives to remember what happened.

The satire is quite complete. Almost all of the baby book sections are put into a middle-aged context humorously for this version.

To begin setting the mood, the cover is padded like a baby book often is.

The author's acknowledgments include middle-aged amnesiacs who helped, the editor (Ruth . . . ?), gastroenterologist (Dr. Henry . . . ?), and husband ( . . . ?). If only she could remember their names!

You have a chance to make your own family tree (with humorous asides about the people on it), note your memorable firsts (colonoscopy, reading glasses), tell whether you are a girl or a boy ("Do you spend most of your time in front of the toilet, running water, or naked on the lawn, rolling in snow?"), describe your teething history (which ones are dead, bridges, implants, gold crowns, bonded, capped, and gone?), date important fashion firsts (when you gave up spandex, threw away your bikini, and started wearing shirts out of your pants), and put in samples of your hair (both colored and uncolored versions).

The book also has many humorous essays like the history of solid foods and weight (1993 -- Oprah loses 60 pounds. Pavarotti gains it.), I Forget, and Why? There are also middle-aged versions of many well-known nursery rhymes.

You can also add your favorite expressions (like, Where are my glasses?).

If you give this as a birthday gift, the birthday girl or boy can put in key facts of that day such as the price of a standard facelift in that year.

At the end, you'll find a living will. It gives your relatives authority to plant you when the time comes.

Even if you don't have the nerve to give this to anyone else, you should get a copy for yourself. It's the most humorous thing I've ever read about becoming middle-aged!

Get rid of your misconception stalls about middle age not being funny.

4 out of 5 stars Middle-Agers need to be babied, too.......1999-10-06

A clever book, one that I often give to aging boomer friends, along with copies of "Dave Barry Turns 50" and "Getting Old Sucks" by Ed Strnad. They all enjoy it.

5 out of 5 stars A hilarious send-up on being middle-aged.......1999-02-28

This is the funniest, smartest humor book I've read in ages. I give it to everyone, male or female, for any occasion whatsoever, although it makes a special hit at big 4-0, 5-0 and 6-0 birthday parties where it usually gets read out loud and is better than any entertainment you could hire. All the stuff in it -- middle-aged sex, middle-aged expressions, middle-aged concerns are right on the nose. I can't wait for the author to grow up at little more and see what she does with old age!

Book Description

Without realizing it, most adults have hundreds, if not thousands, of gallstones (mainly composed of hardened bile) blocking the bile ducts of their liver. This book illustrates how to recognize stone buildup and provides do-it-yourself instructions for painlessly flushing them out of the body. The author thoroughly explains what causes gallstones in the liver and gallbladder and gives practical guidelines on how to prevent new ones from being formed. He clearly details how gallstones congesting the liver impair proper liver function, which in turn can lead to poor general health and contribute to serious illness. However, the core of the book is the easy-to-follow, all-natural cleanse that has helped thousands of people gain the benefits of a clean, revitalized liver. This preventative health approach promises the reader improved health now, as well as a reduced chance of needing invasive gallstone surgery in the future.

5 out of 5 stars heeee haawwww!!!!.......2007-09-26

This book is the next best thing from the more expensive one's, namely THE AMAZING LIVER CLEANSE and TIMELESS SECRETS OF HEALTH & REJUVENATION. These are essential if you are starting to educate youself in alternative medicine.
Sure the more expensive books are better formatted and such , but if you need the info , this is a cheap way to get it. If your willing to fork out an extra $15 dollars or so I would go with THE AMAZING LIVER CLEANSE. In either case Andreas Moritz produced very most exellent material here of the utmost hihest caliber. Just buy it man!

5 out of 5 stars you never really know yourself.................2007-07-02

I love this book, as it really helped me to figure out why certain fats (soybean oil) gave me problems after eating. It is easy enough to follow, and the amount of problems that can be solved by cleansing are immense. Not for the squeamish or those that care for western medicine. Thank-you Andreas Moritz!

    Book Description

    'This book is unique in that the lead editor, Professor Okuda, is one of the world's best known hepatologists and his expertise is combined with that of some top radiologists. The result is a book that uses radiology to explore the pathophysiology of diagnosis of liver diseases. The book covers the full range of hepatobiliary disorders in a systematic fashion. While the focus is on imaging and the information that can be gleaned from it, epidemiology, aetiology, clinical features, treatment and prognosis are also discussed, allowing the reader to consider each disease in context. The main market for this book includes hepatogastroenterologists, and trainees in gastroenterology and hepatology. However it will also be useful for trainee radiologists who want to correlate their understanding of radiology with disease processes.

      Book Description

      Congratulations, baby boomers: You are now officially all middle-aged. It’s a book of firsts: My first colonoscopy, my first reading glasses. A book of vital statistics, including married name(s), circumference of abdomen, cholesterol count (HDL and LDL), and home state (Red or Blue). It’s a place to keep track of primary care givers—herbalist, psychopharmacologist. Record favorite expressions—I’m having a senior moment. Dressing on the side, please. 60 is the new 50. Keep track of “What I’ve Grown,” from liver spots to knee flaps. There’s also a place for a lock of hair (if you can spare it) along with the Seven Stages of Hair Loss (men: from minoxidil to shaves head; women: from plucks grey hairs to dyes it champagne blond). Plus essays—“Am I Smiling or Is It Gas,” and “I Go to School,” a parody of Adult Ed classes.

          Book Description

          In clear language, free of medical jargon, with healthy doses of humor and many easy-to-understand examples, Dr. Henry D. Janowitz provides you with everything you need to know about indigestion, offering sound advice on how to avoid problems and soothing the fears of those in distress. He shows you how to prepare for a visit to the doctor--what the physician needs to know, what tests you might undergo, and what the latest diagnostic techniques are (including MRI and endoscopy). Dr. Janowitz then zeroes in on specific problems of the esophagus, stomach, gall bladder, liver, and pancreas. He outlines the causes of peptic ulcers and discusses the best methods of prevention and treatment, shows how to distinguish between chest pain originating in the esophagus and the anginal pain of heart disease, and surveys such problems as gallstones, pancreatic disorders, jaundice, malabsorption, maldigestion, and food allergies. He also examines the effects of aging on the upper digestive tract and, in a final chapter, illuminates the role of stress in functional indigestion. A reliable guide to extremely common medical complaints, Indigestion is must reading for anyone suffering from heartburn, ulcers, gall bladder disease, or any number of common gastrointestinal ailments.

                Book Description

                Since its discovery in 1861, thallium has been used in a variety of industrial products, from rat and ant poisons to photocells and infrared devices. But today, the increased use of thallium for emerging technologies in electronics, medicine, and other fields has also led to rising concerns about the health risks and environmental effects of this highly toxic element.

                Thallium in the Environment offers completely up-to-date coverage of the environmental cycle as well as the chemical and toxicological aspects of thallium exposure. Written by an international panel of experts, the book addresses key issues concerning thallium's effects on aquatic and terrestrial environments, human health, and wildlife.

                In addition to thallium's history, production, and use, specific topics include thallium sampling and analysis, transport, reproductive and developmental toxicity, speciation, and geochemistry.

                Bringing together the latest information on these areas in a single volume, this book makes a vital contribution in the quest to understand and track the potential risks of thallium in the environment. It will be welcomed by professionals and students working in environmental science, chemistry, and engineering, as well as toxicology, public health, environmental control, and other areas.
