WHAT WE'RE READING
******************
"The Merck Manual of Medical Information: Home Edition"
by Robert Berkow, editor
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/007864285X/entertainmentsit
The folks at Merck, the leader in medical research since
1899, have converted their much-worshipped "Manual of
Diagnosis and Therapy" into an eminently user-friendly
CD-ROM format perfectly suited for times when there's *no*
doctor in the house!

"The New Family Cookbook for People with Diabetes"
by the American Diabetes Association, the American Dietetic
Association, and Ann Goulston
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0684826607/entertainmentsit
Getting dinner on the table is hard enough, but when even
one family member has diabetes, it can be a nightmare. With
more than 400 recipes, "The New Family Cookbook for People
with Diabetes" proves that diabetics don't have to live on
carrot sticks, rice cakes, and sugar-free yogurt to keep
glucose levels in check.

"Your Drug May Be Your Problem: How and Why to Stop Taking
Psychiatric Medications"
by Peter R. Breggin, M.D., and David Cohen, Ph.D.
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0738201847/entertainmentsit
Ten million Americans are prescribed psychiatric medication
each year--often for conditions that the drugs were not
originally meant to treat. "Your Drug May Be Your Problem"
is an empowering reference that's essential for HMO
patients.


HERBAL REMEDIES MADE EASY
*************************
Vermont's Rosemary Gladstar, one of the most respected names
in herbalism, has been working with herbs since 1972. The
books in her herbal-remedies series offer simple recipes for
making your own natural medicine chest to promote longevity,
relieve the symptoms of stress, improve mood and energy
levels, and keep the entire family feeling healthy.

FROM THE WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW *CAN* HURT YOU DEPARTMENT
******************************************************
Just what is sodium lauryl sulfate, and what's it doing in
your toothpaste? And is that wax on your apple safe--or not?
And why is carageenan, a seaweed derivative, added to most
commercial ice creams? For consumers understandably baffled
by the slew of additives in cosmetics and food products,
these books will help clear up the confusion and help them
make safe, educated choices.
