Great support for caregivers and those they love
I stumbled across this book in my local library, while searching for sources of information and guidance as I entered the caregiving relationship with my mother. While our circumstances are somewhat different than the author's, I found this book to be a helpful balance of personal narrative and issue identification and clarification. The scholarly background brings some heft to this very tender story. I bought two copies, one for my brother and one for my caregiver's support group.

Amazingly accurate
My Mothers Hip is a well-written journey into the world of eldercare.Motivated by love, the author encounters the frustrating complexities of the current healthcare system, as she tries to aid each of her aging parents.This is a must-read, as our aging population increases, and family members are sure to encounter similar experiences

A must
As the population ages hip fractures are becoming more prevalent. This is a must read for anyone caring for a loved one who's suffered a hip fracture.

bones be good
when Eva Snead researches a topic she does it thoroughly. this work is a comprehensive examination of BOTH convential/ allopathicand alternative/ natural approaches to prevention and treatment.Unlike many other authors of wholistic bent she gives credit to orthodox physicians and scientists when due and she also challenges some accepted 90's "natural" hype when it isn't backed up by good research or might pose a risk for the consumer. It is a very technical disussion but just when it might get too dry eva provides some witism for which she is famous.And she always makes sure to translate medicalese into laymans language for the reader's benefit.There is a wonderful explanation of chelation therapy, another of cellular electron bond/ionization/free radical theory. She handles diet and other environmental contributors to bone health. 27 pages of references from peer review publications and a terrific glossary of 15 pages.And an encouraging summary that explains that this scourge of osteoporosis is not just treatable but even reversible. ...

Pam Levin Has Done it Again
Pam Levin has done it again.She has produced a book which has very clear relevance to the human condition of becoming healthy and staying healthy.While her other books were about self-care and nourishing the developmentalperspectives of life, this one is about nutrition and nourishing this body- our physical aspect.In a clear, cogent and well researched and wellscripted fifteen chapters, Pam outlines the causes of osteoporosis and thecure.She points out the statistics that in the next 60 years (listen upyou x generation and boomers) we will have over 135 million peoplesuffering with this debilitating disease.The fact that osteoporosis (sickbone disease) is probably a cause of heart disease, and thereforecontributes to the top two killers (heart disease and cancer), isstartling.This is a serious disease which is thought to have a pediatriconset.It is not too late to pay attention to good nutrition and to theway in which we use synthetic supplements.Many of the syntheticsupplements may be poorly absorbed because their synthetic nature is notcompatible with the body's needs.Pam, with the help of case studies,including her own frightening encounter with back and hip problems anddevastating pain which kept her bedridden, outlines a six point program torestore the nutritional balance and feed our sick bones appropriately.Thebook gives the most cogent and coherent discussion of nutrition, foodsources and nutritional supplements for healing and recovering fromosteoporosis that I have ever red.Yes, osteoporosis is not irreversible!Perfect Bones includes a list of 84 signs for this "silent" disease.Thebook gives a review of medical options and their side effects.It providesinterviews with leading experts on bone health.The dangers of takingsynthetic nutritional supplements are discussed and list are provided ofover 100 END OSTEOPOROSIS NOW!

In a clear, cogent,wellresearched and well scripted fifteen chapters, Pam outlines the causes ofosteoporosis and the cure. She points out the statistics that in the next60 years the US will have over 135 million people suffering with thisdebilitating disease. The fact that osteoporosis (sick bone disease) isprobably a cause of heart disease, and therefore contributes to the top twokillers (heart disease and cancer) is startling. This is a serious diseasewhich is thought to have pediatric onset. It is not too late to payattention to good nutrition and to the unhealthy foods and inadequatesupplements we use. Many of the foods we eat and drink are toxic, and thesynthetic suppplements may be poorly absorbed because their syntheticnature is not compatible with the body's needs. The phosphates incarbonated drinks leaches calcium from the bones. With the help of casestudies including her own frightening encounter with back and hip problemsand devastating pain which kept her bedridden, she outlines a six pointprogram to restore nutritional balance and feed our sick bonesappropriately. The book gives the most cogent and coherent discussion ofnutrition, food sources and nutritional supplements for healing andrecovering from osteopoorosis that I have ever read. Yes, osteoporosis isnot irreversible! PERFECT BONES includes a list of 84 signs for this"silent" disease. The book gives a review of medical options andtheir side effects. It provides interviews with leading experts on bonehealth. It lists over 100 whole-food concentrates available the marketplace. The book gives directions on how to find a qualified practioner toresearch your own bone health. Levin points out that "your bones arenot my bones" and that each of us is unique and deserving of a uniqueprogram rather than a "one size fits all" approach. The way inwhich the program is fitted to your uniqueness is through AppliedKenesiology and a diagnostic system known as Contact Reflex Analysis(Versendahl). In this system your body is asked the questions about yournutritional needs through the electrical system of the body. Thisdiagnostic process does not require complex machinery, simply your ownbody's inner knowledge of that it needs is accessed and a qualifiedpractioner knows how to ask the right questions of your body.This book isan easy and interesting read and a positive MUST READ for any one wishingto achieve the perfect ten of a healthy and balanced body and bones. Ihighly recommend it, and having experienced the process and healed myselfthrough it I am excited that this information is avaiable and will be readand accepted by professionals and all in need of PERFECT BONES. ...
