  Lainie Chait was diagnosed with epilepsy in 1991 at the age of 19. At the time of diagnosis, there were three roads to go down - avoidance, acceptance or rebellion.  Avoidance was her first choice. Falling in the shower, brain jerks and muscle twitches when she was 14 was the beginning of something 'not quite right' about her early teenage years. She hid these symptoms from family and friends for three years in the hope that they were just ‘growing pains’.As she started reaching the age of independence (18 in Australia) and started to drink, stay up late and go out partying, these ‘growing pains’ turned into a seizure condition that could no longer be ignored.  Eventually doctors, diagnoses and medicines were brought into the equation.She tried acceptance but at the time it wasn’t the right fit, as the very thought of taming down her young, fun life and replace it with medicine, early nights and mature personal decisions was just too hard to fathom. Rebellion then became her main focus and she achieved this by partying, staying up late and ignoring the triggers. This mindset carried with it an enormous amount of embarrassment and shame.  She constantly felt like a failure after each of the 250+ Grand Mal seizures she endured over 25 years.  But she wasn’t just rebelling against a diagnosis; she was rebelling against a system that has the capacity to make you feel better but at a price that also keeps you in a place of perpetual illness.  She needed to know why she had epilepsy and the only way she was going to find this out was to take herself off all the meds and research it, live it, feel it, document and manage it for herself.She did this much to the horror of her doctors, friends and family.  She went on a journey to get to know her brain and what makes it tick and glitch. The journey was about finding out just how much control she did and didn’t have over her seizures.Electro Girl is Lainie Chait's story of resilience, growth and self advocacy.

  Ecological Intelligence - How...

  Ecological Intelligence recasts the uproar over global warming and the assault of man-made toxins into our bodies in terms of the collective self-deception which both created this crisis and holds a key to its solution. Ecological Intelligence argues that "green" labels and recycling programs may do more harm than good by feeding a vital lie, lulling us into the illusion that we are doing enough already while ignoring the adverse impact of the far vaster proportion of what we buy and do. The book brings a psychologist's insights into the world of commerce, arguing for radical transparency — tracking every substantial impact over the life cycle of an item, from manufacture to daily use, to disposal — and surfacing those impacts at the point of purchase. The movement toward such transparency augurs a day when the free market will operate in public interest.A Macmillan Audio production.

  Regulating Infrastructure -...

  This wide-ranging study of urban infrastructure “offers a series of fascinating arguments” in favor of market-oriented approaches to regulation (Times Higher Education Supplement). In the 1980s and ‘90s, many countries turned to the private sector to provide infrastructure and utilities—such as gas, telephones, and highways—with the idea that market-based incentives would control costs and improve the quality of essential services. But high-profile failures have since raised troubling questions about privatization. This book addresses one of the most vexing of these: how can government fairly and effectively regulate “natural monopolies”—those infrastructure and utility services whose technologies make competition impractical? Mapping out various approaches to regulation, José Gómez-Ibáñez draws on a wealth of case studies, as well as history, politics, and economics. He makes a strong case for favoring market-oriented and contractual approaches over those that grant more discretion to government regulators. He shows how contracts can provide stronger protection for infrastructure customers and suppliers—and greater opportunities to tailor services to their mutual advantage. At the same time, he highlights scenarios where alternative schemes may be needed.

  Antibiotics: Are they curing us or killing us?
  
  'Without urgent, co-ordinated action by many stakeholders, the world is headed for a post-antibiotic era, in which common infections and minor injuries which have been treatable for decades can once again kill.' Dr Keiji Fukuda, World Health Organization
  
  For anyone reeling from this recent, shocking statement from WHO, Dr John McKenna is here to help. There is no doubt that there is a massive overuse of antibiotics. This book is for anyone who wants to do something about it.
  
  The senseless over-prescription and misuse of antibiotics has rendered them almost useless, posing a catastrophic threat to our health. Superbugs are making hospitals increasingly dangerous places to seek help and experts predict we will soon regress to a time when simple infections and medical procedures threaten our lives once again.
  
  Dr McKenna, a retired medical doctor who has been practising natural medicine for over 25 years with astonishing results, examines the issues at play. He reveals the truth about the pills your doctor prescribes you and details the often unknown side effects they can have.
  
  ANTI-biotics has all the information you need to take your health into your own hands. You will learn how to recognise when antibiotics are hindering you instead of helping you, and discover natural alternatives to restore your health and strengthen your immune system.
  
  Through a number of case histories, Dr McKenna shows the effects of MRSA, C. Difficile, TB, E. Coli and other infections that have developed antibiotic resistance. He explains, in layman's terms, the science of how different antibiotics affect different parts of the immune system.
  
  His advice will help you take control of your health with practical tips to boost your immunity and to avoid misusing antibiotics.
