        Pernicious Anaemia

        The Forgotten Disease: The Causes and Consequences of Vitamin B12 Deficiency

        by Martyn Hooper

        This book could save you years of ill health! Vitamin B12 deficiency, often caused by pernicious anaemia, can be a devastating condition if left untreated, leading to irreversible nerve damage and disability after years of exhaustion and mental 'fog'. Its symptoms creep up on sufferers and are under-recognized by doctors; tests to confirm it and underlying pernicious anaemia, are problematic. Martyn Hooper, the founder of the Pernicious Anaemia Society, now brings together vital information about the condition and real-life stories - including his own and those of many members of the Society - that will help sufferers and their friends and families recognize the condition and understand how best to tackle it. In particular, the book draws on the findings of a survey of Society members that give new clarity to the complex issues involved.

        Plant oils

        Over 50 powerful helpers for pleasure and skin care

        by Ruth von Braunschweig

        The importance of vegetable oils for our diet is now well known. Also that they must be natural and carefully manufactured and should come if possible from biological cultivation, if they are to unfold their health-promoting effects, is today most humans well-known. But the fact that olive oil, coconut oil & Co. are also valuable helpers for skin care and can even be used in skin care is still doubted by some experts. Today an abundance of research work speaks for itself. Plant oils protect and care for the skin, can prevent diseases and alleviate discomfort. They work from the inside as well as from the outside, in the kitchen as well as in body care. Vegetable oil is good for our skin According to the latest scientific findings, it has been proven that the ingredients of vegetable oils are also helpful for our largest organ: the skin. Not only that the fat molecules have been "known" to the skin evolutionarily for millions of years and it can therefore metabolize them excellently. The skin can therefore utilize plant oils in its metabolism and absorb and use the ingredients.
