As her father always said, if you want to take down the man, you’ve got to fight like one. So she converts her great room into a greenhouse and starts a holistic column challenging modern medicine. But it’s 1970, and Sam’s readers are wary to accept health advice from anyone but a man. After all, a proper woman followed men’s orders. Except one reader takes an obsessive interest in Sam’s herbal remedies: Thomas Cook, her pharmaceutical adversary with more money than J. Paul Getty, and a reach long enough to squash Sam’s unconventional ways… like the way Sam cures marital dry spells with horny goat weed—it’s not called that for nothing! Or how she shares her home with a species-confused pony. Or when she befriends the mysterious new neighbors that nearly cause a riot. Soon Thomas falls for her unconventional ways, until Sam doses him with a tough pill to swallow: that her column is about to upheave the medical industry, along with women’s roles in it. Thomas isn’t the only jilted ego out to get Sam. When a detail surfaces about her father’s death, Sam becomes a target scandalized, risking everything she’s spoken out to save. Doused with humor, fortified with women empowerment, and starring an irresistibly quirky leading lady, it’s Lessons in Chemistry meets Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine as one woman challenges orders to take her medicine (like a man), and overthrows convention instead.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →A comprehensive history of the concept of freedom of therapeutic choice in the United States that presents a compelling look at how persistent but evolving notions of a right to therapeutic choice have affected American policy and law from the Revolution through the Trump Era. Throughout American history, lawmakers have limited the range of treatments available to patients, often with the backing of the medical establishment. The country's history is also, however, brimming with social movements that have condemned such restrictions as violations of fundamental American liberties. This fierce conflict is one of the defining features of the social history of medicine in the United States. In Choose Your Medicine, Lewis A. Grossman presents a compelling look at how persistent but evolving notions of a right to therapeutic choice have affected American health policy, law, and regulation from the Revolution through the Trump Era. Grossman grounds his analysis in historical examples ranging from unschooled supporters of botanical medicine in the early nineteenth century to sophisticated cancer patient advocacy groups in the twenty-first. He vividly describes how activists and lawyers have resisted a wide variety of legal constraints on therapeutic choice, including medical licensing statutes, FDA limitations on unapproved drugs and alternative remedies, abortion restrictions, and prohibitions against medical marijuana and physician-assisted suicide. Grossman also considers the relationship between these campaigns for desired treatments and widespread opposition to state-compelled health measures such as vaccines and face masks. From the streets of San Francisco to the US Supreme Court, Choose Your Medicine examines an underexplored theme of American history, politics, and law that is more relevant today than ever.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Twelve-time New York Times bestselling author Mark Hyman, MD, presents his unique Pegan diet—including meal plans, recipes, and shopping lists. For decades, the diet wars have pitted advocates for the low-carb, high-fat paleo diet against advocates of the exclusively plant-based vegan diet and dozens of other diets leaving most of us bewildered and confused. For those of us on the sidelines, trying to figure out which approach is best has been nearly impossible—both extreme diets have unique benefits and drawbacks. But how can it be, we've asked desperately, that our only options are bacon and butter three times a day or endless kale salads? How do we eat to reverse disease, optimal health, longevity and performance. How do we eat to reverse climate change? There must be a better way! Fortunately, there is. With The Pegan Diet's food-is-medicine approach, Mark Hyman explains how to take the best aspects of the paleo diet (good fats, limited refined carbs, limited sugar) and combine them with the vegan diet (lots and lots of fresh, healthy veggies) to create a delicious diet that is not only good for your brain and your body, but also good for the planet. Featuring thirty recipes and plenty of infographics illustrating the concepts, The Pegan Diet offers a balanced and easy-to-follow approach to eating that will help you get, and stay, fit, healthy, focused, and happy—for life.
