More than fifty million Americans suffer today from chronic pain. Dr. Scott Brady was one of them. Doctors told him he would live with his back pain for the rest of his life. Having exhausted all options offered by conventional medicine, Dr. Brady overcame his pain using a mind-body-spirit approach¿in an incredible four weeks. In 2000, he founded the Brady Institute, where more than 80 percent of his patients have achieved 80¿100 percent pain relief, without surgery or drugs.
In PAIN FREE FOR LIFE, Dr. Brady sets a clear course for readers to diagnose what is really causing their pain ¿autonomic overload syndrome, which is brought on by the repression of harmful negative emotions¿with profiles of pain-prone personalities and an innovative spiritual health inventory. He reveals the techniques behind his remarkably effective recovery plan, including the practice of depth journaling and prescriptions to boost the power of personal belief.
Dr. Brady¿s approach has helped his patients overcome such conditions as chronic back pain, nagging neck and shoulder pain, migraine or tension headaches, muscle pain, irritable bowel syndrome, insomnia, and many other chronic pain-associated ailments.
The principles and techniques described in PAIN FREE FOR LIFE will be illustrated by in-depth case studies. His proven 6-week program produces results in as little as thirty minutes a day.

At 278 pounds, Susan Maria Leach couldn't fit into a roller coaster seat, couldn't tie a bathrobe around herself, couldn't even ride with her husband on the back of his Harley. Enough was enough. Susan underwent gastric bypass weight loss surgery. Now Susan weighs in at a mere 135 pounds. Her book, "Before & After," is the story of her incredible journey from being too big to enjoy her life, to being able to truly enjoy life to its fullest. Now Susan can fit into that roller coaster seat, completely tie that robe, and ride on the back of her husband's Harley. More than one hundred thousand people had weight loss surgery in 2003, and as those pounds continue to drop, the number of people opting for the surgery continues to rise. Part memoir and part cookbook, "Before & After" includes a foreword by Susan's surgeon, comments from a nutritionist, and a section on frequently asked questions. It is an intimate account of Susan's own transformation, as well as a universal guide for those who have undergone or are considering the procedure. After her own success, Susan participated in support groups for weight loss surgery patients. There, she discovered that people had as many questions about life after surgery as they had about the operation itself. "Before & After" answers those questions and many more. An accomplished home cook and longtime culinary enthusiast, Susan quickly became

No one who has undergone surgery can downplay the part played in the ordeal by anesthesia. Whether a godsend or a necessary evil to be endured, both kinds of experiences would have benefited the information contained in Going Under. From the outset, the coauthors offer this levelheaded perspective: "More than 23 million surgical procedures are performed in the United States annually. That averages to more than 63 thousand a day; or about 42 every minute. Surgical personnel in America are among the world's finest, but, obviously, they are also among the world's busiest.... your own input into the equation is crucial." This helpful guide converts the mystery surrounding anesthesia into information that can lead to good choices.Looking at pain control from many angles, Going Under gives brief histories and easy-to-read descriptions of local, general, and spinal anesthetics. A highly informative and fascinating book for the general reader, it proves invaluable for anyone facing post-op pain and recovery. Thirty chapters offer information on alternative systems of medicine, pain as a learned phenomena, anesthesia in childbirth, and healing, plus much more. It also offers a welcome look at the medical field's bias against narcotics that forces some patients to "tough it out" instead of finding appropriate relief. In short, Going Under teaches eve

The key to looking younger isn’t always plastic surgery. There are many better, safer, and less expensive options that will remove wrinkles, revitalize skin, and make you look years younger—and they all can be performed by a dermatologist, not a plastic surgeon. Steven Victor, one of America’s leading cosmetic dermatologists, reveals the secrets of these nonsurgical treatments in Ageless Beauty. From laser resurfacing to chemical peels to mesotherapy, readers will learn how a dermatologist can take the years off by removing wrinkles, age spots, and varicose veins from their faces, hands, necks, and legs. None of the procedures requires anesthesia, and in many cases, the results are even better than the traditional nip and tuck!
With straightforward, accessible information and advice, Ageless Beauty is the equivalent of a costly consultation with one of the pioneers of cosmetic dermatology. It’s the ultimate sourcebook for all women—and men—who want to look younger but don’t want the risks, expense, and recovery time of plastic surgery.
...
Now, of course, you may be wondering: Why choose these treatments over plastic surgery? Isn’t plastic surgery still the way to go for truly transformative results? In most cases, the answer is a resounding no. Naturally there is an important place for plastic surgery, which, in fact, I recommend to patients as a worthy complement to certain resurfacing techniques, if I think it’s merited. But no matter how old you are or how many wrinkles you have, if your skin isn’t sagging, your first visit should absolutely, unequivocally be to a cosmetic dermatologist.
