5. The New Sjogren's Syndrome Handbook, Used [Hardcover]

Sjogren's syndrome (pronounced show-grins) strikes 2 to 4 million Americans, mostly women. Often a debilitating illness, Sjogren's is not a rare disease--in fact, it is now said to be the most common autoimmune disorder--but it is still little known even in the medical community. Women have gone from specialist to specialist for years before receiving the proper diagnosis. The New Sjogren's Syndrome Handbook is a comprehensive and authoritative guide, produced by the Sjogren's Syndrome Foundation and its medical advisors. It has been extensively revised from their original self-published edition, which sold 20,000 copies through their newsletter. Designed for Sjogren's sufferers and for physicians, it provides readers with the best medical and practical information available on this disorder. The book describes the symptoms, which can range from dry eyes and dry mouth, to hoarseness and difficulty in eating, to chronic fatigue and joint pain that can seriously impair quality of life. It offers complete information about diagnosis (there are blood tests that can be used to help diagnose Sjogren's), and provides an extensive discussion of how Sjogren's affects the various organ systems of the body, including the kidneys, blood vessels, lungs, liver, pancreas, and brain. The book also discusses treatment options (such as moisture replacement therapy) and offers tips for daily living. While there is no cure for Sjogren's, much can be done to alleviate the suffering of individuals with this syndrome. The New Sjogren's Syndrome Handbook offers everything patients need to know to cope with this disease. And because Sjogren's is greatly under-diagnosed, this handbook is a particularly valuable resource for all healthcare professionals.

8. An Epidemic of Absence: A New Way of Understanding Allergies and Autoimmune Diseases [Paperback - Used]

CONDITION - USED - Pages can include limited notes and highlighting, and the copy can include "From the library of" labels or previous owner inscriptions. Accessories such as CD, codes, toys, may not be included. A brilliant, groundbreaking report on the dramatic rise of allergic and autoimmune disease, and the controversial therapies scientists are developing to correct these disorders. From asthma to Crohn's disease, everyone knows someone who suffers from an allergic or autoimmune disorder. And if it appears that the prevalence of these maladies has increased recently, that's because it has--to levels never before seen in human history. These days no fewer than one in five--and likely more--Americans suffers from one of these ailments. We seem newly, and bafflingly, vulnerable to immune system malfunction. Why? One possibility is that we have systematically cleaned ourselves to illness; this belief challenges deeply entrenched notions about the value of societal hygiene and the harmful nature of microbes. Yet scientists investigating the rampant immune dysfunction in the developed world have inevitably arrived at this conclusion. To address this global "epidemic of absence," they must restore the human ecosystem. This groundbreaking book explores the promising but controversial "worm therapy"--deliberate infection with parasitic worms--in development to treat autoimmune disease. It explains why farmers' children so rarely get hay fever, why allergy is less prevalent in former Eastern Bloc countries, and how one cancer-causing bacterium may be good for us. It probes the link between autism and a dysfunctional immune system. It investigates the newly apparent fetal origins of allergic disease--that a mother's inflammatory response imprints on her unborn child, tipping the scales toward allergy. An Epidemic of Absence is a brilliant, cutting-edge exploration of the dramatic rise of allergic and autoimmune diseases and the controversial, potentially groundbreaking therapies that scientists are developing to correct these disorders.
