Natural remedies for inflammation / by Vasey, Christopher.(CARDINAL)671851;
"A practical guide to natural relief from chronic inflammation, Explores the use of 38 anti-inflammatory herbs, such as laurel, basil, turmeric, and devil's claw, as well as other natural substances, Examines which natural remedy is best for many common inflammation-related ailments, such as asthma, bronchitis, tendonitis, arthritis, and eczema, Reveals the important role of omega-3s in defending the body against inflammation, From aspirin and ibuprofen to antihistamines and cortisone, anti-inflammatory drugs are now the top-selling pharmaceuticals in the world. But daily use of these powerful drugs comes with a price: side effects, many of which can lead to other chronic conditions and the further use of medications. In this practical guide to natural remedies for inflammation, naturopath Christopher Vasey explores 38 anti-inflammatory herbs, such as laurel, basil, turmeric, and devil's claw, as well as other natural substances, such as propolis and fish oil. He explains which conditions each addressesmost effectively, proper dosage, and the best methods of ingestion. Vasey explains how, like fever, inflammation is a defensive reaction of the body and also carries out a cleansing process, which natural remedies support but pharmaceuticals can destabilize by contributing more toxins to the internal terrain. He examines many of the most common inflammation-related ailments--such as allergies, asthma, conjunctivitis, bronchitis, sinusitis, cystitis, tendonitis, arthritis, eczema, and sciatica--and explains which medicinal plant or food supplement is best suited to safely alleviate unpleasant symptoms while helping the body complete the healing the inflammation was initiated to perform. Revealing the important role of omega-3s in defending the body against inflammation and reducing the damage caused by chronic inflammation, Vasey explores what foods are rich in these key molecules, how much must be eaten to defend the body, and what omega-3 supplements are most suited to your body's needs. The author also examines how to deacidify the body, as acids have an inflammatory effect, as well as how to use hydrotherapy to calm inflammation"--"A practical guide to natural relief from chronic inflammation"--Provided by publisher"--

Urbantoons Black Inventors / by Ki'el, King,author.(CARDINAL)874019; Ki'el, King,author.(CARDINAL)874019;
This book is the first in a series that will explore the brilliant and innovative contributions of black inventors to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. From the earliest days of our nation's history, black inventors have been at the forefront of technological advancement, overcoming obstacles and discrimination to make groundbreaking discoveries that have changed the course of human progress. We will learn about the amazing inventions of Lewis Latimer, who developed an improved method for manufacturing the carbon filaments used in incandescent light bulbs, and Elijah McCoy, who patented more than 50 inventions, including the automatic lubrication system that bears his name. We will also discover the pioneering work of George Washington Carver, who developed hundreds of uses for peanuts and sweet potatoes, and Dr. Percy Julian, who synthesized hormones and steroids, including the first synthetic cortisone. These inventors, and many others featured in this series, have not only left a lasting legacy in their respective fields but also have helped pave the way for future generations of black inventors. They have inspired us to reach for the stars and to never give up on our dreams. This series is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of innovation and the powerful impact of black inventors on our world."
