Flush : the remarkable science of an unlikely treasure / by Nelson, Bryn,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."The future is sh*t: the literal kind. For most of human history we've been, well, disinclined to take a closer look at our body's natural product--the complex antihero of this story--save for gleaning some prophecy of our own health. But if we were to take more than a passing look at our poop, we would spy a veritable cornucopia of possibilities. We would see potent medicine, sustainable power, and natural fertilizer to restore the world's depleted lands. We would spy a time capsule of evidence for understanding past lives and murderous ends. We would glimpse effective ways of measuring and improving human health from the cradle to the grave, early warnings of community outbreaks like Covid-19, and new means of identifying environmental harm--and then reversing it. Flush is both an urgent exploration of the world's single most squandered natural resource, and a cri de coeur (or cri de colon?) for the vast, hidden value in our "waste." Award-winning journalist and microbiologist Bryn Nelson, PhD, leads readers through the colon and beyond with infectious enthusiasm, helping to usher in a necessary mental shift that could restore our balance with the rest of the planet and save us from ourselves. Unlocking poop's enormous potential will require us to overcome our shame and disgust and embrace our role as the producers and architects of a more circular economy in which lowly byproducts become our species' salvation. Locked within you is a medicine cabinet, a biogas pipeline, a glass of drinking water, a mound of fuel briquettes; it's time to open the doors (carefully!). A dose of medicine, a glass of water, a gallon of rocket fuel, an acre of soil: sometimes hope arrives in surprising packages"--

The autoimmune cure : healing the trauma and other triggers that have turned your body against you / by Gottfried, Sara,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.New York Times bestselling author Dr. Sara Gottfried reveals how trauma can rewire your body to trigger autoimmune diseases and provides a comprehensive plan to reset your immune system and finally heal. Autoimmune disease affects about one in ten Americans, or twenty-four million people, with prevalence increasing worldwide. But as Dr. Gottfried explains in this eye-opening new book, autoimmune disease may be even more pervasive than we realize-and its cause may surprise you. Conventional medicine falls short when it comes to both diagnosing and treating autoimmune disease. Many people suffer from mysterious symptoms ranging from severe fatigue to digestive problems, and don't realize their immune system is at the root of their symptoms. In her precision medicine practice, Dr. Gottfried noticed a seemingly unusual pattern: many of her patients who suffer from autoimmune disease and symptoms have a history of trauma. Emerging research shows that up to 80 percent of patients with autoimmune disease experienced significant emotional distress before getting sick. With 'The Autoimmune Cure', there is hope on the horizon. Dr. Gottfried has created a powerful program designed to break the vicious cycle of autoimmune disease, reset your immune system, and restore your health. The book offers a roadmap to lasting relief from autoimmune disease by addressing the underlying cause of the condition and healing the body, mind, and spirit.
