... Read more
Re-StoreTM: Cellular functions depend upon the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), a high-energy phosphate which exists in all our cells. ATP is the primary energy source for many metabolic processes. CoQ-10 is absolutely essential to the ATP production process. When CoQ-10 levels are insufficient cellular energy production suffers. CoQ10 appears to be particularly important in supporting the heart muscle which beats over 100,000 times each day. Without adequate levels of coenzyme Q10, the heart muscle can become weaker and less efficient at pumping blood through the body. CoQ-10 levels are reported to decrease with age and to be low in patients with some chronic diseases such as heart conditions, Muscular Dystrophies, Parkinson's disease, Cancer, Diabetes, HIV/AIDS. Levels of CoQ-10 in the body can be increased by taking CoQ-10 supplements. The commonly sold form of CoQ10 is Ubiquinone which is reduced by the body after absorption to the usuable form, Ubiquinol. As the body ages, it produces less and less CoQ10 and becomes less efficient at converting CoQ10 to Ubiquinol. Studies indicate that Ubiquinol is absorbed very efficiently by the body and may be equal to as much as eight times that of common Ubiquinone supplements. The Masters Plan Ubiquinol 50mg soft gelatin capsules ensure that your body gets the required levels of CoQ10 in a readily assimilated form.

... Read more
Disenchanted with biomedicine and dismayed by its cost, increasing numbers of people are seeking alternative therapies such as the healing plants discussed in this book. Plant medicine is a billion-dollar business: health food stores, small yerberias, and even giant grocery store chains carry hundreds of medicinal herbs. By one estimate, up to one-third of the U.S. population uses alternative medicine—generally in addition to conventional therapy and commonly without telling their doctors. The heart of this volume is a complete description of 100 plants commonly used today, often for the same purposes reported by chroniclers of the Aztecs or eighteenth-century European explorers. Information for each plant includes botanical and common plant names, history, contemporary uses, a description of how the plant is prepared and administered, and brief phytochemical data. Discussions of folk efficacy and folk properties—beliefs in how and why the herb heals—help to explain the continued use of each plant into the present day. Are any of these plants dangerous, and do any of them really work? Where did they come from, and where are they available now? How can health-care practitioners gain the confidence of their patients to learn whether they are using alternative medicines for specific illnesses, symptoms, or injuries? Perhaps most intriguing, which of these plants might be waiting to take the place of known antibiotics as pathological organisms become increasingly resistant to modern miracle drugs? Answers to these and other questions will pique the interest of general readers and will be an invaluable resource for health-care providers—especially nurses and other primary-care providers, who often must find an interface between biomedical and more traditional therapies. For all readers, the book opens a window into many ethnic cultures of the region—Mexican American communities, desert Pima, coastal Seri, and others. Here is the fascinating saga of how their healing plants from prehistoric times melded with Old World herbs brought by the Europeans to create the unique pharmacopoeia available today here and in other parts of the world. Plants included:Acacia (Cassie, Acacia)Achillea (Yarrow)Agastache (Giant Hyssop)Agave (Century Plant)Allium (Garlic, Onion)Aloe (Aloe)Ambrosia (Ragweed)Anemopsis (Yerba Mansa)Arctostaphylos (Bearberry, Uva Ursi)Argemone (Prickly Poppy)Aristolochia (Bithwort, Snakeroot)Arracacia (Arracacha)Artemisia (Wormwood, Mugwort, Western Mugwort, Sagebrush)Asclepias (Milkweed)Baccharis (Desert Broom, Seep Willow)Bocconia (Tree Celandine)Buddleia (Butterfly Bush)Bursera (Elephant Tree)Caesalpinia (Mexican Bird-of-Paradise)Cannabis (Marijuana)Capsicum (Chili)Carnegiea (Saguaro)Casimiroa (Zapote)Cassia (Senna)Cereus (Cactus)Chenopodium (Goosefoot, Wormseed)Citrus (Lemon, Lime, Orange)Datura (Jimson Weed)Ephedra (Mormon Tea)Equisetum (Horsetail)Eryngium (Eryngo, Button Snakeroot)Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus)Euphorbia (Spurge)Eysenhardtia (Kidneywood)Gnaphalium (Everlasting, Cudweed)Guaiacum (Lignum Vitae)Guazuma (Guazuma)Gutierrezia (Turpentine Bush)Haematoxylon (Logwood)Haplopappus (Jimmyweed)Heterotheca (Telegraph Plant, Falso Arnica)Hintonia (Copalqu¡n)Ibervillea (Coyote Melon)Jacquinia (Jacquinia)Jatropha (Limberbush)Juniperus (Juniper)Karwinskia (Coffeeberry)Kohleria (Tree Gloxinia)Krameria (Ratany)Lantana (Lantana)Larrea (Creosote Bush, Greasewood)Ligusticum (Lovage)Lippia (Oregano)Lysiloma (Featherbush)Malva (Mallow)Mammillaria (Pincushion Cactus)Mascagnia (Mascagnia)Matricaria (Chamomile)Mentha (Mint)Nicotiana (Tobacco)Ocimum (Basil)Opuntia (Cholla, Prickly Pear)Perezia (Perezia)Persea (Avocado)Phaseolus (Bean)Phoradendron, Struthanthus, Loranthus (Mistletoe)Physalis (Tomatillo)Pinus (Pine)Pithecellobium (Monkey Pod)Plantago (Plantain)Plumeria (Frangipani)Populus (Cottonwood, Poplar)Porophyllum (Odora)Prosopis (Mesquite)Psacalium (Indian-Plantain)Punica (Pomegranate)Quercus (Oak)Rand

In the past few years, organic food has moved out of the patchouli-scented aisles of hippie food co-ops and into three-quarters of conventional grocery stores. Concurrent with this growth has been increased consumer awareness of the social and health-related issues around organic eating, independent farming, and food production. Combining a straight-to-the-point exposé about organic foods (organic doesn't mean fresh, natural, or independently produced) and the how-to's of creating an affordable, easy-touse organic kitchen, Grub brings organics home to urban dwellers. It gives the reader compelling arguments for buying organic food, revealing the pesticide industry's influence on government regulation and the extent of its pollution in our waterways and bodies. With an inviting recipe section, Grub also offers the millions of people who buy organics fresh ideas and easy ways to cook with them. Grub's recipes, twenty-four meals oriented around the seasons, appeal to eighteen- to forty-year-olds who are looking for fun and simple meals. In addition, the book features resource lists (including music playlists to cook by), unusual and illuminating graphics, and every variety of do-it yourself tip sheets, charts, and checklists.

'What is antibiotic resistance, and why should I be concerned with it?' Media coverage and political and scientific discussions about 'superbugs' that defy our current treatments, genetically-modified foods in our fields and grocery stores, the threat of bioterrorism, and the use of antibiotics in agriculture have increased citizen awareness and fears regarding the issues surrounding antibiotic resistance. "Revenge of the Microbes: How Bacterial Resistance Is Undermining the Antibiotic Miracle" is a single source of answers to this and other questions average people are asking. Written by experts with extensive experience in the field, "Revenge of the Microbes" provides the scientific information readers will need to form opinions and make informed decisions regarding the use of antibiotics.The authors have carefully sifted through a vast amount of information to ensure comprehensive coverage of topics including the larger issues of economics, politics, health, safety, and the environment. Specific antibiotics and controversies are examined in a real-life context; accounts of positions on all sides of the public policy debate are presented; and, less common issues such as what happens to antibiotics once they are released into the environment, are addressed. The evolution of antibiotic-resistant bacteria is put into perspective and bacterial mutation and horizontal gene transfer are explained in simple terms. An in-depth documentation of antibiotic structures is provided in the appendix. Reader-friendly and comprehensible, "Revenge of the Microbes" will engage a diverse audience, including biologists, doctors, teachers, students, lawyers, environmentalists, and everyday citizens.This new volume encourages readers to consider the extensive role of antibiotics in modern medicine and the potentially catastrophic impact the loss of effective antibiotics would have today and on future generations.

... Read more
Although it is usually assumed that Native Americans have lost their cultural identity through modernization, some peoples have proved otherwise. Brian Hosmer explores what happened when cultural identity and economic opportunity converged among two Native American communities that used community-based industries to both generate income and sustain their cultures. Comparing a lumber business run by the Menominees of Wisconsin and a salmon cannery established by British Columbian and Alaskan Tsimshian communities known as Metlakatla, Hosmer reveals how each tribe responded to market and political forces over fifty years. Hosmer's innovative ethnohistory recounts how these Indians used the marketplace to maintain their distinctiveness to a far greater extent than those who became wage earners in the white man's world. Hosmer shows that by selectively incorporating elements of American capitalism into their cultural lives, the Menominees and Metlakatlans came to view modernization less as a threat to their tribal life than as a means for maintaining their independence. These tribes embraced the same market accused of hastening the demise of native societies and became comparatively successful in American terms even as they both honored fundamental values and forged new cultural identities. Over time, these peoples came to understand how the market worked, recognized that the broader economy operated according to market principles, and learned how to adjust to it. Hosmer reveals how their strategies of "purposeful modernization" brought relative economic independence and sometimes the respect and cooperation of local and federal governments, how it helped chart a middle course between unchecked individuality and a communal ethos that might stifle economic development, and how economic development and cultural values ultimately affected one another. American Indians in the Marketplace is a story of adaptation that acknowledges the hardship and suffering common to most Indian-white contact while emphasizing the benefits of selective modernization accompanied by a constant re-invention of tradition. It questions the victim thesis of Native American history and shows that native peoples can meet the challenges of surviving in the larger world.

... Read more
Consumers today are in the focus of a wide range of companies in a more and more global world, all of which implies an increase of marketing activities and hence an increase of advertising effort. Hundreds or even thousands of advertising messages are put in front of consumers every day through various media channels. However, every targeted customer has a very limited ability of perceiving advertising messages and even a smaller percentage of what has been recognized is considered as being relevant. Therefore consumers quite often feel harassed and overloaded by the mass of information, the quality of advertising and the context in which it is shown, and react protective towards advertising, especially when they do not belong to the target group of the advertised product or service. This implies a great amount of budget wastage and a potential damage to brand images, since too many consumers are targeted with the wrong advertising message. Furthermore media consumption has changed over the years, while the consumption of TV for instance remains stable, the internet consumption increases dramatically, in the younger target groups it has already outgrown the TV consumption, and therefore an attenuation of this trend can be expected. This means more and more prospective consumers will spend more and more time online and are therefore important potential targets for advertising campaigns. Keeping in mind the negative consequences of the irrelevant and too intense advertising the question arises if there is a way to avoid the drawbacks of offline media and use the opportunities offered by online media. The necessity of defining the right target group for an advertising campaign is as undoubted as the difficulties implied in that process, the end product being able to target the right persons online. Behavioural targeting might offer a way to analyse online media and therefore to contribute to the requirements for optimal media planning in order to achieve a high degree

As numerous historical documents - on fireclay, papyrus, or paper - testify, alkaloids, nitrogen contining natural substances, have been companions of mankind from ancient time. Valued as drugs and stimulants, some species are also feared because of their addictive potential, and often it seems impossible to distinguish these effects unambiguously. The chemistry of alkaloids has been captivating chemists for ages and generations. This is the first comprehensive reference work providing a concise overview of structure, properties, and history of these unique and fascinating substances!The volume is organised into three main sections. Part 1 examines the chemically relevant aspects by means of carefully selected examples. After a structural classification, structure elucidation (including common pitfalls) is discussed. Moreover, chiroptical properties and synthetic pathways are detailed. Part 2 is devoted to biological and biochemical aspects. It rationalizes chemotaxonomy and biogenesis by means of examples (indole and 1-benzyl isoquinoline alkaloids) and presents details about the functionality of several alkaloids produced by plants and animals. Part 3 finally describes the cultural and historical significance of the most important alkaloid sources. Exciting anecdotes and historical reports illuminate the use of hemlock, ergot, opium, tobacco, coffee, and cinchona, to name only a few.The unique and comprehensive explanation of the most important features of alkaloids makes this book a compendium valuable not only for experts but also for the layman interested in pharmacy.

As the most ecologically efficient and economical source of complete protein in human food, soy is gradually attracting more use in the American diet for its nutritional and financial value. Derived from soybean plants--the leading export crop of the United States and the world's most traded crop--soy produced for human consumption is part of a global enterprise affecting the likes of farmers, economists, dieticians, and grocery shoppers. An international group of expert food specialists--including an agricultural economist, an agricultural sociologist, a former Peace Corps development expert, and numerous food anthropologists and agricultural historians--discusses important issues central to soy production and consumption: genetically engineered soybeans, increasing soybean cultivation, soyfood marketing techniques, the use of soybeans as an important soil restorative, and the rendering of soybeans for human consumption.Contributors are Katarzyna Cwiertka, Christine M. Du Bois, H. T. Huang, Lawrence Kaplan, Jian-Hua Mao, Sidney W. Mintz, Akiko Moriya, Can Van Nguyen, Donald Z. Osborn, Erino Ozeki, Myra Sidharta, Ivan Sergio Freire de Sousa, Chee-Beng Tan, and Rita de Cássia Milagres Teixeira Vieira.

For a fraction of the cost of store-bought sprouts, you can have the freshest, most nutrition packed sprouts possible by growing your own at home. Our certified organic sprouting seed will ensure your success. Anyone who has purchased sprouts at the grocery store knows that quality can vary greatly. Mung bean sprouts have been grown and used by the Chinese for over 3000 years. They are high in protein, iron, magnesium, many vitamins, and are a good source of dietary fiber. They are an essential ingredient in eggrolls and many Asian stir-fry dishes, but can also be enjoyed in a number of ways, raw in salads, or on sandwiches - the culinary possibilities are limited only by your imagination! There are several ways to grow sprouts. The most popular, easiest, and least expensive is the jar method. All you need is a glass canning jar (quart or larger) and a lid to grow short, crunchy sprouts. For long straight sprouts like those sold in stores, a flowerpot or a plastic deli container will do! For complete instructions on how to grow sprouts using these two methods, see inside of packet.

... Read more
As daily consumers of foods and beverages, everyone has opinions and interests about their diet choices. However, many questions about food are often non-technical and, therefore, defy technical answers. Introducing Food Science addresses a range of food issues facing today’s consumer, proceeding from a general and student-friendly discussion to an in-depth technical overview of the basic principles of food science. This authoritative textbook starts by addressing food issues in the news, from disease outbreaks to the health benefits and detriments associated with international trade. It then outlines the basic principles of food manufacturing and processing techniques with a strong emphasis on unit operations. With the aid of flowcharts, photographs, and thought-provoking questions, the text assesses the importance of labeling and nutritional information and describes the requirements for providing consumers with the wealth of food options available on grocery store shelves. The book then demonstrates the importance of regulations in ensuring a healthy and safe food supply and culminates with an introduction to the basic scientific underpinnings of food science. Introducing Food Science emphasizes the separation of what is known from what is unknown about food issues and then determines how those issues can be reformulated into testable hypotheses. Unlike other food science references, it conveys both commercial and scientific perspectives, providing a true flavor of food science. About the Author: Dr. Robert Shewfelt is the Josiah Meigs Distinguished Teaching Professor of Food Science and Technology at the University of Georgia. He advises more than 50 students and has taught 11 different courses in the past two years ranging from Freshman Seminars in Chocolate Science and Coffee Technology to graduate-level courses in Food Research & the Scientific Method. Dr. Shewfelt was also the 2006 recipient of the Cruess Award for Excellence in Teaching of IFT.

... Read more
In recent years, scientists have begun to focus on the idea that healthy, functioning ecosystems provide essential services to human populations, ranging from water purification to food and medicine to climate regulation. Lacking a healthy environment, these services would have to be provided through mechanical means, at a tremendous economic and social cost. "Nature and the Marketplace" examines the controversial proposition that markets should be designed to capture the value of those services. Written by an economist with a background in business, it evaluates the real prospects for several of nature's marketable services to "turn profits" at levels that exceed the profits expected from alternative, ecologically destructive, business activities. The author: describes the infrastructure that natural systems provide, how we depend on it, and how we are affecting it; explains the market mechanism and how it can lead to more efficient resource use; looks at key economic activities - such as ecotourism, bioprospecting and carbon sequestration - where market forces can provide incentives for conservation; examines policy options other than the market, such as pollution credits and mitigation banking; and considers the issue of sustainability and equity between generations. "Nature and the Marketplace" presents an accessible introduction to the concept of ecosystem services to the economics of the environment. It offers a clear assessment of how market approaches can be used to protect the environment, and illustrates that with a number of cases in which the value of ecosystems has actually been captured by markets. The book offers a straightforward business economic analysis of conservation issues, eschewing romantic notions about ecosystem preservation in favour of real-world economic solutions. It should be an eye-opening work for professionals, students and scholars in conservation biology, ecology, environmental economics, environmental policy and related fields.
