How does medication work? Why have so many of us become dependent on tranquillisers and sedatives? What are the long-term effects? How do we wean ourselves off? What are our options? 'Alternatives to Tranquillisers' looks at the long-term emotional and physical effects of sedatives and tranquillisers and the possible alternatives. Contrary to what many of us believe, tranquillisers are frequently prescribed in the form of sleeping pills, muscle relaxants etc. Dr John McKenna gives an overview of the alternatives. He discusses hypnosis, herbal medicine, homeopathy, acupuncture, nutrition and nutritional supplements, exercise, relaxation and meditation. He finishes with a chapter of sound , practical advice and encouragement.

You are what you eat may be considered just an old saying, but like most old sayings, it has an element of truth. Our digestive system is the focal point of our body. The ability to absorb nutrients from our food is the key to our survival and a healthy digestive system is vital for our general well being. However, in our rushed, modern lifestyles it is often unintentionally abused, causing our health to deteriorate from the inside out. Many illnesses, from chronic diseases such as cancer to many modern allergies can be traced to underlying intestinal problems. Dr John McKenna gives a clear description of our digestive system, how it works and how it can go wrong. Drawing from his experience of treating hundreds of patients with digestive problems, he has given us a guide that is highly informative yet easy to read and even humorous in places. He looks at both conventional and alternative medicine, showing the reader how to combine both practices to their own advantage. Most importantly, he emphasizes how critical the digestive tract is to our physical, mental and emotional well being, providing us with the foundation for good health.

John Mckenna brings all his scientific and medical training to the fore in writing this book which deals with certain critical issues facing western society. He explains in simple language how the statistics are showing that all of us are slowing gaining weight. He explains that this sudden increase in weight can be traced back to two decisions made by politicians in the US in the mid-1970s. These politicians altered the way in which food was manufactured and in so doing altered the health of everyone on a western diet. As a result we now have an obesity crisis in many western nations. John goes on to explain how these changes in processed foods have altered how the body handles food and leads to a fatty liver, diabetes and obesity. He also explains why the authorities are silent about the real cause of obesity and why the medical approach of "eat less fat and exercise more" has had no effect on the epidemic. The book goes on to explain effective treatment in the form of diet and explains which supplements are helpful. There is also a chapter dealing with how one' s emotional state has a direct impact on the progression of the disorder. To the point, insightful and informative - The Big Fat Secret will provide the answers to your questions and change the way you look at certain foods… for good!

'It is a long-awaited book and answers many questions.' Jan de Vries When antibiotics were developed in the 1940s, they were hailed as a huge breakthrough in the treatment of bacterial infections, earning them the title of 'miracle drugs'. Since then they have become the most commonly prescribed drugs in the world. Now, however, studies indicate that massive over-prescribing is causing increasing problems, with the advent of antibiotic-resistant organisms, or 'superbugs' as they are commonly referred to. A recent report from the World Health Organisation gives stern warning about the dangers of the over-use of antibiotics. With this increasing awareness, people are rightly demanding alternatives for both themselves and their children. Dr McKenna covers these alternatives in detail, writing in simple terms with the minimum of scientific jargon. He compares conventional medicine and alternative medical approaches, recognising the benefits and drawbacks in both. By investigating herbal, homeopathic and nutritional medicines, he shows clearly that it is possible to treat infections without antibiotics, but also recognises when antibiotics may sometimes be necessary.
