At a time when big corporations drown out the voice of everyday man and woman,Breast Implants and the D.I.R.T. Committee stands up and shouts on behalf of every woman who has suffered at the hands of the medical device industry that sells harmful products at the expense of women's health and lives. In an Erin Brockovich sort of way, this book empowers all women and provides them with a voice. Slick brochures filled with promises of safety, nods of assurance from surgeons and their own self desire for better self esteem were often the last bits of information that thousands of women relied on before making their final decision regarding breast augmentation. Many of them had done their research and all of the information available to them indicated that the implants were harmless.Most of the women were very sick before they found out what Dow Corning and now Poly Implant Prosthesis (PIP), knew right from the beginning – the implants were not safe. All breast implants leak and leach through the envelope. Dangerous chemicals are added to the silicone to keep it in a honey like consistency. A ruptured implant is merely a faster introduction of the chemicals and heavy metals to your bio system. Read more

At aged 51 I was faced with the prospect of total shoulder replacement surgery, I searched on the internet for someone to give me an insight as to what was to come.

During the process, I learnt a lot of lessons so I decided to convert my blog into a book which I myself found to be invaluable during my second total shoulder replacement, as I learned (the hard way), the right and wrong ways to do things the first time around.

The author's practice has identified a common but little recognised cause of knee osteoarthritis (knee OA), and in 2004 he devised an arthroscopic treatment option called arthroscopic cartilage regeneration facilitating procedure (ACRFP) that has, without using artificial knees, (1) relieved thousands of patients of their knee pain without using analgesics, (2) helped open up the joint space in their knees, and (3) improved their mobility. The ACRFP has debunked the myth that cartilage in the knee naturally degenerates and proved that “degenerative arthritis of the knee” is a misnomer.Since 2007, his practice has further expanded the ACRFP into a comprehensive, multidisciplinary management protocol—the knee health promotion option (KHPO)—to treat patients with knee OA. The result shows the effectiveness of the KHPO in treating knee OA. Thousands of people have therefore kept their knees under this KHPO.This common but little recognised cause of knee OA is based on the work of his research team that has spanned 15 years. They have published 12 scientific papers on this research. The KHPO has been built on their knowledge about this disease process. Knowing how knee OA originates, evolves, and deteriorates has given them a solid foundation upon which to design and improve a focused treatment protocol that has field-proven to halt that deterioration process.Contents:•Terminology•The KHPO in a nutshell•What has ACRFP done for patients•The hidden hazards of ineffective conservative treatment•Why is the ACRFP better for the knees?•The conventional protocol vs the KHPO protocol•Patient activism•A concerned surgeon and his thoughts•Patient's choices•Physician's clinical experiences•The best scientific evidence•The making of an ideal KHPO surgeon Read more

Tony Stark has been battling bad guys and protecting innocent civilians since he first donned his mechanized armor in the 1963 debut of Iron Man in Marvel Comics. Over the years, Stark's suit has allowed him to smash through walls, fly through the air like a human jet, control a bewildering array of weaponry by thought, and perform an uncountable number of other fantastic feats. The man who showed us all what it would take to become Batman probes whether science -- and humankind -- is up to the task of inventing a real-life Iron Man.E. Paul Zehr physically deconstructs Iron Man to find out how we could use modern-day technology to create a suit of armor similar to the one Stark made. Applying scientific principles and an incredibly creative mind to the question, Zehr looks at how Iron Man's suit allows Stark to become a superhero. He discusses the mind-boggling and body-straining feats Iron Man performed to defeat villains like Crimson Dynamo, Iron Monger, and Whiplash and how such acts would play out in the real world. Zehr finds that science is nearing the point where a suit like Iron Man's could be made. But superherodom is not just about technology, and Zehr also discusses our own physical limitations and asks whether or not an extremely well-conditioned person could use Iron Man's armor and do what he does.A scientifically sound look at brain-machine interfaces and the outer limits where neuroscience and neural plasticity meet, Inventing Iron Man is a fun, direct, and parallel comparison of comic book science fiction with modern science. If you've ever wondered whether you have what it takes to be the ultimate human-machine hero, then this book is for you. Read more

On December 5th, 2018, my life changed. After my fourth surgery in eighteen months, I had to make a decision: go through another extensive knee surgery for a ten percent chance of keeping my leg, or amputate my leg above the knee. Choosing to have my right leg amputated, I was devastated. After shedding tears for a couple days, I no longer wanted to cry. I wanted to laugh. I needed to laugh. So I made a post on social media that said: “Thank you so much for the prayers and support... I’ve decided that I can either cry or laugh. So my social media is going to be funny. Sometimes really dark, but funny.” A dear friend, Jannell responded, “Is it too soon for pirate jokes?” This book is not about my amputation experience. It is not about the decade of pain, fear, and grief from medical issues prior to the amputation. Quite simply, this book is about hope. Amongst ten years of medical struggles and the accompanying grief and loss, I figured out where to find hope and how to hold onto that hope. This book is about overcoming loss, grief, and difficulty through hope. Whether amputation, cancer, or even loss of a loved one, you can find hope. Just like I did. Read more
